I didn't do the last one because I was too busy (and the theme threw me off), but I was planning to do this one :cry:

tbh even if ppl dont join in too much, i think you should still run 'em. It cant be thaaaat much work running it (if neccesarry, i'd help) and when it produces results, it really produces results.

Try this for a crowd-pleaser: hook up with a good-looking mod that's recruiting, but only recruiting talented people...run a map battle loosely themed on that mod and offer possible (hopefully likely) recruitment for the winner(s). Obviously, depends a lot on the mod, but would get ppl interested.

I reeeealy wanna take part, but most of my precious, precious geektime is taken up with modelling/non-hl2 projects...but when there's one I can jump on (next one?) i promise to play it like a good little loper, posting wip shots etc.

problem is, ppl just dont wanna spend time unless there's an incentive - the status & props gained off the ranking isn't really enough, and a prize = $$$ lopers doesnt have.

Maybe organise a 'battle of battles' against another site/forum? interlopers vs whoever, each site runs the battle with the same rules and the top 5 go up against each other for public vote or something. Done friendly-style, naturally.

I had lots of bigger battles planed, but am I suposed to take some chances doing those, when i get less them 10 people on the last battle? For example I remember reeke giving the idea of making a battle in wich you had to make a view outside a window. It was a really good idea, but after talking with blink we realised that it wouldn't work, since probably most users would say that the theme sucked. I don't know wath was the secret on the first themes that got so much atention, neither the problem with the last ones.
And all the other stuff you mentioned it's really not doable, since most of the mappers that could make a decent map for a mod, or to form a team against other foruns, already have lots of projects on their own, and don't have time for battles. I'm really trying to figure out wath to do next, but i won't do anything if people don't show interest on it.
