A Modding Triatholon

alright, this is my suggestiong, we allow the people of halomods to deside which modders should be allowed to participate in this event.
What they would have to do:

Judges: there will be 10 judges to judge the mods, mainly mods, admins etc.

Modding specifics: All the modders will mod one level, and the mods are going to be themed for each group. and the three specifics things the judges will eb judging on will be announced when the event stars to prevent re-made mods.

Game: ALL HALOS(Halo xbox, HCE, H2, etc)

People/Persons:Everyone can participate in this, you dont need to be nominated or anything. but the team rules still apply, only a FOUR person team.

RULES:
RIPPED CONTENT: for the ripped content part, i really wanna allow this, but no. try injecting something made by you, but other stuff like takeing the containment gate and putting it into another map, i wouldnt call that ripping.

Multiplayer: The mod doesnt HAVE to be multiplayer compadable, but i suggest it should be, but its your choice.

Side notes: Go crazy, make something different, if it hasent been used in a mod, use it. if you have a new awsome effect, put it in. truly people, i don't, DON'T, DO NOT wanna see five minute mods, put some effort and personality into your mods.

3 mods in one weel isnt enough time if models are gonna be used because you cant rip content and it isnt gonna be good if you make a 2 second model

Is this going to be another halo 2 only thing like MOTM, or all halo formats in seperate categories?

Teams or individuals?

And I dont quite understand the bit about how people enter, you have to be nominated by someone else, is that it?

Three in a week - Iron man modding competition

Your team restrictions would never work...There's no way you could enforce a four person limit...

Second, there's no way you could enforce a one week limit...People could have great mod ideas on their minds, or even work on them for a month before you even announced the contest start, and then use that stuff for the mod...

Though, I don't think you'd ever get 4+ people working on a mod at a time...Especially one over the period of the week...And if you did have more, I'm not sure what an advantage it would be...

As for the time limit, there would need to be an obvious theme or something along those lines to prevent "early workings" on the project to at least some degree...Perhaps specifying the map aswell as a theme...But no matter what, there will always be ideas and such that could be done before hand...

i like...but heres my modifications...
people are nominated...if the modder agrees then they have 2/3 weeks to create a mod on either:
A specific theme
A specific map.

eg: ScottyGEE Iron_forge and doorm4n have to 3 weeks to give the new induction map a new look and feel
eg2: TSF soy_bomb and Grenadiac have 2 weeks to make a mod themed as: COVENANT...

every time the triathlon is held all contestants MUST send at least $45 (US) to me via direct bank deposit

hehehe please?

i believe doing 3 mods (mr murder's mod making took 2 weeks for one) at all is just stupid to me, im lazy and barely get enugh time as it is to do any form of modding...so i say one mod or max 2...but who evben says im gonna be nominated? im gnna nominate Grenadiac CLuis iron Forge TSF, xbox7887 pke cancer aaaaand....yomama...as one team against...me! i would seriously enjoy doing that actually. even if id be humiliated

GAME ON

Thats a good point, I must have 8 -10 mods I have not previously released, but they're all HPC, and I have a feeling if this go's ahead it'll be H2 only.. ..

No fair, DECOY wants to play too.....

i never said halo 2 only, and please no premade mods. i wanna get the whole halo community into this. and whats a TRIatholon without 3 events, its has to be a challenge.
