Yeah, I had originally 640x480, then realized the rules stated cannot have a regular size screen. So when I put together a 640x240 320x480, I just didn't like the way they came out.
The smaller image kinda works in its favor, as I am using a panorama, and the larger/longer ones seemed empty.
I might revise it and make it 640x240 and give myself more room, but for now I'm content with the smallness.
I have until the 23rd to add different versions. :P
@Creation- Thanks man! :]

The rules did state you can have a regular sized screen OR one dimension doubled.
This means, for instance, if you're using RM2K3, you can post a screenshot up to 640x240 or 320x480. You can post a 320x240 screenshot, but you cannot post a 640x480 screenshot.
I mean, unless I'm missing something. :o

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.

Right. And for XP/VX, you can post a normal 640x480 screenshot, or you can double one of those two dimensions and get either a 1280x480 screen or a 640x960 screen.
...Which is dumb because I'm not sure how you can possibly tell from the screenshot which program it was made in. Why do you get four times as much space if you merely claim to use a newer maker, exactly?

Well, VX screen is a bit smaller than 640x480.
It's usually not that hard to distinguish 2k3 from VXP. But yeah, that's something someone could try and work around.
But bigger is not necessarily better. :)

tiles are twice as large

So if I make a 1280x480 map in RM2K3
Take a screenshot of it
Load that screenshot as a panorama in RMXP
And then take a screenshot of that
I can submit it?
And the second screenshot will be identical to the first screenshot. So why can I submit the second one and not the first one?

It's true you could bypass it in some way but it would take a lot more work to do so and I doubt anyone would try.

You don't even have to do the work, you can just say you did. Like I said, you would end up with an identical screenshot. So why go through the trouble of steps 3 and 4, when you can just post the screenshot and pretend you did?
Or you can claim you imported the tiles into RMXP. Or whatever. My point isn't that you can do extra work to get 4x the working space - my point is that you can simply *claim* you did extra work to get 4x the working space.

I'm pretty sure you don't just "import" tiles into xp and if you actually tried to it would take a lot of work on tiling and even more on mapping and even if you just lie it would be glaringly obvious to everyone what you did since doing that would be totally impractical.

except that it's glaringly obvious that you're using 16x16 tiles instead of 32x32. are you listening?

I don't use RPGMaker, but I'm glad someone actually started a contest instead of arguing about it :P

First, it's not necessarily obvious if you're good at mapping. In Infection's screenshot, for example, I can't tell one way or the other. Second, who cares if it's obvious, because it's allowed according to the rules.

Right, my suggestion would be to just allow the same size map in pixels regardless of what editor you're using.
But whatever, I guess it's not super important. I just instinctively look at a set of rules or instructions and see all the ways to break them.

but... this would make either 2k/3 maps twice as large or VX/XP maps twice as small to an impossible degree. i really don't know why you're not getting this!

It would... it would make them the same size. Since the map doesn't have to be playable and doesn't have to have passabilities set, there's absolutely no reason to pay attention to tile size in the slightest. You can put graphics in your tileset that take up 1/8 of a tile or that take up 5/4 of a tile or whatever!
