As you all already know, 904 and I are
clearly smarter than the rest of you; that's why this time round we didn't trust you to come up with your own ideas
. So this time round we gave you a fixed starting point in the form of a template to work from, with the theme of
Gate:
The entrants have risen to the challenge beautifully, finding great ways to work with (or around) the limitations and create scenes that are unique but share a common frame of reference.
We are benevolent rulers, so despite our infinite wisdom we'll give you, the huddled masses, the final say in who wins (we're still convinced this whole democracy thing is a fad) - so pick your winner and give them your vote!
Remember, the criteria for voting isn't really fixed; it's basically whichever scene you find most compelling aesthetically - whether it be for the idea, the creative use of the template, the overall atmosphere, the skilful execution, etc. Pick the one you like best and select them above!
Thanks to everyone who took part, and a big Hello to all our new entrants! No rest for the wicked, though; we expect to see you working hard at the coalface again soon. That's right, a new map battle will begin
tomorrow evening.
On with the images! As always, you can also view them in web2.0 goodness at the
photobucket album.
