Next contest should have 3 members max.
A larger theme, honestly summer is not enough (If you expect to play 100 times the same level then why not).
Better prizes (including smileys as reward), honestly, even if I participate to have fun, those should be the minimum requirements for a contest, decos are kinda pointless imo.
I don't like when someone ask us to do a certain difficulty, even more when it's something as vague as "Easy-Medium/Medium" since "Medium" is between easy and hard, so what would you consider "Hard" or "Easy"?
If you want to allow creativity you gotta remove this difficulty imposition.

Difficulty exists only because they want to make a campaign from winners' maps

It's still possible to make a campaign with unstable difficulty

Excuse me, toop. But is that ALLOWED you know one played called HANS22. he joined 3 TEAMS in this contest. i thought it's really not fair for 3 teams. Everyone can join only 1 team. If someone picked one player (hans22) Then no more for new teams to pick him. Don't do this, please.

Thank you.

I read that some guy was going to use EEditor to make the world so when it is building time they would just enhance it and paste it onto the world.

Chances are, yes. If your world is a crew world, it should be a crew you trust. If you decide you have to give edit to other players [which I would discourage], make sure they are trustworthy.

I'll try to contact them and fix this issue.

Are we allowed to make "Practice worlds" on a different world ID, complely dif world. Or would this violate the time before you can start building?

For this contest you can, as long as you don't use a bot to copy it to your final world.

The seasonal contests were designed to have more restricted themes, this won't be true for all contests in the future.

My hopes are that contest smileys will never happen again, unless they are released to the public later. Trophies are able to show that you won a contest and which place you won. Trophies are also superior because they aren't too special. I give winners hundreds of gems and energy as a prize, and exclusive trophy decorations, and you complain that there isn't a smiley?

"If you want to allow creativity you gotta remove this difficulty imposition." No. By having a difficulty set, I can compare and judge the levels easier since it gives me a constant variable to compare, instead of guesstimating whether a basic level has a better game design than an extreme one. The best levels can also be put in a campaign of my choice of difficulty, ensuring a better campaign, which is what the game needs. The preposition that not having a difficulty set will enhance creativity is not true. Creativity does not stem from difficulty, Megaman Dash, for example, has lenient jumps. It could have just as easily been an extreme map with tedious one block jumps, but it wasn't, and this was by choice, not because of stunted creativity. If you meant that you have more freedom without difficulty restriction, that would be correct. But as I said, it would make it difficult to fairly judge. When given this freedom, such as in-game where no contest limits you, time and time again people have made mostly difficult levels. Do you not wonder why there are so few easy campaigns? And why the medium campaigns often feel like harder campaigns?

"It's still possible to make a campaign with unstable difficulty" It's possible, but not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. Campaigns are meant to have consistent difficulty.

Psst how do I juggle studying for midyear exams and building an EE World

also does Heatwave/Wildfires count as a summer event

Anatoly · 2016-06-20 14:19:39

why can't you join an existing team?

It's a rule in place so that teams are more careful when they register, that way I'll have to do less edits and not deal with a ton of indecisive teams like last time. Depending on the circumstances I can edit a team still.

Depends on how it's incorporated into the level. A heatwave in an industrial city doesn't work as well as a heat wave on a beach. A forest wildfire wouldn't work as well as a wildfire that spread near some coastal docks.

Cola1 · 2016-06-20 14:48:35

Hmmm, what about if the theme was a typical summer in a specific country? Would that be acceptable? Or does it need to be how just summer itself is seen by a majority of people.

Haruko · 2016-06-20 14:49:24

4 days waiting omg. its impossible for me.... why 24 june is deadline??

It would be acceptable if it was balanced with summer itself is seen by a majority of people, though it's difficult to know whether or not it would be acceptable not knowing the country in mind.

Allows everyone to have time to register, and people can start building at the same time.

Chances are, yes. If your world is a crew world, it should be a crew you trust. If you decide you have to give edit to other players [which I would discourage], make sure they are trustworthy.

So is that a yes or no? It was fine last contest - they wouldn't get the rewards anyway.

If they help build they still won't get the reward, but it won't disqualify your team. You're responsible for what they add though. So pretty much what happened last contest.

Also in my previous statement I mistakenly thought by "edit" you had implied that the crew would edit your world in a negative way.

Shadowfire14 · 2016-06-21 01:07:41

Good luck to everyone and may the best team win!

Yandax · 2016-06-21 02:09:45

Does ANYONE wanna have me be on their team/join my non-existent team?

I know the answer is no, but I wanna make sure.

Haruko · 2016-06-21 08:09:58

It seems to me , i will do the world in 3D.
nou is nub

Gosha · 2016-06-21 09:29:52

Personally I would like to get smile as reward, you can show trophy only in your level / have edit in other world
Some noobs will ask for placing a trophy
And you can't show that you are winner when you play other's levels, but with smile you can

Luka504 · 2016-06-21 10:38:00

I found some guys cheating and building their contest world early.
After searching a bit i found the team.
Team Name: The smart builders
Members: heater, gyomail, pkemail
World Url: http://everybodyedits.com/games/PWCg97bTMucEI
I think they should be disqualified.

But then you have people who don't have the smiley who really want it but will never have it, a trophy shows your accomplishment but doesn't raise you on a pedestal above everyone else.
