Space would rule me out and so would animal creations, I am not good with creative stuff like that although I have seen maps similar by other people on 360 and PS3 which are amazing.

The problem is that you would be severing the number of entries compared to how many we have for BFB - It is best to have a Theme which the majority of people can enter without been put off.

I would say that we would be lucky enough to see 10 maps that have good animal recreations in them that we could think of, this is from the many thousand uploaded on the PS3 - Ubi Servers.

As for Space maps, I know maxpower did a good one, SNAKE51 has done one also. KARR has done some as have several others - It is another theme which could be difficult for a lot of people.

But you could put them all forward and let people vote for the one they want, that worked with BFB.

If you want to see a decent Space map, check out Negrumir's Infinate Void (no pun intended, lol) It is brilliant. In all honesty that would be quite an interesting theme choice for me, I mean the point of TOTM is to challenge peoples mapping skills (am I right?) I know that the BFB theme challenged me and I like that, being given a reason to map just make's it all the more fullfilling if you ask me Cheesy

I don't feel like making any animals.

What about these themes?

-World Wonder
   Any of the world wonders listed as suggestions previously.

-Abstract
   Anything.  The more artistic and weird, the better.

-Enclosed (this could be a spaceship if you wanted)
   Pretty obvious on what this is.

-Silver Screen Construct
   Any scene or place from a movie.

-BF Base Wars
   Not necessarily symmetrical, but basically a battlefield with a base on either side.  

-Retro Gaming
   A playable FC2 version of any oldschool game.  You decide how it's done.

---------------------------
If you want to vote on these themes, this is what I'll be picking from when I host the theme.

How about a Retro Game TOTM? I had an idea to make a representation of the old Arcade classic FROGGER the other day.
Cross the river Jumping over logs and rocks, onto small island in the middle, then more logs and rock.....maybe a croc or two (if i can make them, lol) Then comes the highway and another river on the other side.
Was thinking that other games could be remade Far Cry 2 style, say Donkey Kong, Space Invaders or any other 2d classic you can think of, what do ya reckon?

It's on there Robeir.  Is that your vote?

I'll make a poll for it once I find out what site is doing the next ToTM.

I understand that the Theme is to challenge players but ask Negrumir about the Theme that limited to several brushes - I think he got one entry in the end, I still have a map on my HD unfinished.

All I was saying is that it is good seeing other peoples maps and getting into the hype and the hosting matches, but if only a handful submit maps then the competition is down - some like going head to head with maps against others, I know what crap I can put together and I know that my creative part of the game is extremely weak - so I am limited.

I always like seeing other peoples maps no matter what they make but a lot of the shit doesn't stay on my HD unless its playable and fun.

You have to be careful with themes because some can become eye candy fests and it can be more about construction and creativity then actual gameplay - But thats the beauty of the editor, we can create anything we want with our own rules.

I just think its better seeing a lot of entries then just a few.

As for Next time around I would say it is for DEEZ and B3E to get together and see who wants to run it.
I think OnR will possibly be too busy with Faction Wars and their Tuesday night matches, some also host other games on set nights.

I know ktulu from B3E has an idea for running a contest that will have 2 winners in different category's.
It will be good for one site to run it next month and the other site the month after.

These are the themes we have already done at fcmaps.net:

Urban/Downtown
Amusement Park
Fight at the movies (Movie battle scene)
Games people play (video game level remakes)
Suburbia
Interior industrial/factory
Restricted Item use
Big Structures (Cancelled)
Big Fookin Bridge

Looks like a few of these are being mentioned again, so we may want to consider how successful the first attempts were. As Champ mentioned, the chosen theme should require balance between creativity and gameplay, which will help ensure we get the most entries.

My comments on the ones listed:
-World Wonder
   Any of the world wonders listed as suggestions previously.
I like this one, allows creativity for the wonder, but freedom to make the gameplay area very fun.

-Abstract
   Anything.  The more artistic and weird, the better.
Cool idea when done well, but might limit the amount of maps because not everyone is artistic (like me).

-Enclosed (this could be a spaceship if you wanted)
   Pretty obvious on what this is.
This could work out with a bit more specifics

-Silver Screen Construct
   Any scene or place from a movie.
Tough one because its heavy on creativity and makes you map to a scenario, so good gameplay can be a challenge

-BF Base Wars
   Not necessarily symmetrical, but basically a battlefield with a base on either side.
This is too generic...need to be more specific

-Retro Gaming
   A playable FC2 version of any oldschool game.  You decide how it's done.
This is tough for re-creating 2D games...might consider throwing in FPS level remakes too

Regardless, I would pick maybe 3 and let the members decide with a vote.
