Description

At the start of December we will be holding the RMNlypics! This is an event where you are arranged into four randomised teams and take part in different events over the course of the event. After it ends, judging of each event takes place and winners are announced!



It is pretty simple. Each person who signs up to this page will be randomly assigned a team. At the start a list of events will be placed. You will pick what you want to take part in and do those events over the course of the week. At the end, send in your pieces to Liberty via PM and they will be judged and given points based on their quality. The team with the most points will win and each person on that team will gain a first prize badge.


- You may not start until 00:01 GMT on Saturday the 2nd of December.
- You must send in your entries via PM to Liberty before 23:59 on Sunday the 10th of December.
- Each person in a team may add 1 (one) entry for each event only, unless otherwise stated under the event rules.
- All events are optional. Do not pressure your team mates into doing things they can't or don't want to do - some people have more time than others, after all.
- If you have any questions, just post them here.
- Signing up will end at midnight on the 3rd of December!
- You may use 2k or Tsuk!

NOTE: MOST OF THESE EVENTS WILL BE RPG MAKER 2000 BASED. THERE IS CURRENTLY A SALE ON FOR THE ENGINE IN STEAM AND LIKELY ONE ON HUMBLE BUNDLE TOO.

Team Quote
This is a team event where you create a quote for your team using the letters of your team mascot like an acrostic (example Mary - Mental And Racy, Yo!)




I recommend starting a new project and keeping all entries in that one folder. Name them clearly and include a list with the different entries you've included inside the project folder. This is to help cut down on large file downloads.

If, however, you haven't taken part in any of the events that require being played (such as battle creation or scenes) then just a folder with your entries clearly marked and a list will do instead.


Zip up and PM to Liberty before the time runs out on the 10th. If you forgot something and there's still time, you can PM the missing entry to me.



Judging will be done after all the entries have been received. Each entry will gain 1 point for their respective team, if they do not place as first, second or third.

First place entries will gain 7 points for their team.
Second place entries will gain 5 points for their team.
Third place entries will gain 3 points for their team.

There will be one winner per placing for each event, and at the end of the judging the points will be tallied. Teams will then be awarded badges and MS based apon how their overall team placed - from 1st to 4th.




If you have any questions, ask here.

Oh I see that now.
But why do you have a submit button.
Makes things confusing.
because it can't be removed, unfortunately
I don't know about all you apes, but I'm going to be compiling everything I make into a single Project called "RMLympics - Dyhalto" and send it as a single Zip file when it's done.
That way everything stays neat and tidy for the judge(s?). She/they need only unzip it, click the EXE, and navigate through the menu to see what got done.

As an aside, the CMS event will double as my method of navigating the project.
The judging is basically done by separating everything into their different events and giving each entry random numbers. It's a given that the judge from each team would likely know who did their team stuff but nothing about which team did the others, but it's about as fair as can be made without getting judges outside of the whole event.

So at least include a list so I know what events you did do when it comes time to make the judge folders. ^.^)b
Can we make this a full 2 weeks event? Those cutscenes parts are a huge time sink

Add to that a Custom Menu System and a Custom Battle System and you've got a royal pain in the ass on your hands.
I mentally blocked off the custom menu system since it's such a pain in the ass yeah. Especially since you're not even making it for a game ;;;
Pssst.
Cutscenes are hypothetically supposed to be made in less than an hour.
Reality's reality, but yeah. One hour.

I want to look at this human or even more, to see at this master race being which can do this in less than an hour.
Well, check out the ones from last time because they were all done under an hour...

Why are we making a 20x20 map, the game screen doesn't show that much detail.
^ That is an excellent question :o Will that event be amended to 20x15?

/me waits for Libby to awaken from her narcotics-induced stupor.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Yeah that's clearly a typo, since you're supposed to submit it as an in-game screenshot. Make a 20x15 map. The listed requirements in the event have been changed to reflect this.

Question: is that event for a minigame, like pontoon or like fishing? Or do you mean a small game that only takes a few minutes to play?
Like fshing and pontun. Not smalll game forto play
