    Alright so I have an idea to make a contest and make a template for it (kinda like the template contest) except the template is a well made switch. Now I am not sure if this would catch on very easily so I will take a vote before I post it. If atleast 20 different people would say this is a good idea then I will try to start it. I will have 3 judges me, and hopefully two others that I think could be good judges. So if you don't understand yet I will try to make it a little bit simpler.
    If I get 20 people that say this is a good idea, to make a switch template so that people can build a map using it, then I will try and set it up. However if I do not get 20 people to think this is a good idea then I will not try to start this. Please tell me what you really think. If you think this is to much the same as the other template contest then I will by all means not do it. I will ask the person ( not sure who it is, I can't remember) if it is alright with them. Thank you, and happy forging :].

    Well I am going to make a switch that probably does something epic. And It they have to build around it, they can not make it like blocked off or anything. Just the map with an epic switch.

    This a great idea so you could focus on the switch, and I could focus on the layout and gameplay.

    That's quite a good idea, it would have to be a high calibre switch, that's reliable and useful. I would recommend allowing people to edit the switch slightly, to make small tweaks, trusting that they do not alter the purpose of the switch.

    I would be happy to judge, and used to be a relatively well respected member of H3 Artificers before I got sick of the website.
    Now I reside solely on Forgehub and H3Wheelmen.
    Also, I value gameplay over aesthetics. Always.

    It would be good only if the switch that you made for it was good, not sloppy. It would have to be 20 times cleaner than the one you posted. You want switch made for it, I will do it for you if you want. I really should make a switch resume so people can see what I have done because I do not post them all here.

    If the switch you make is sloppy its a bad Idea.

    I wouldn't participate though.

    EDIT:
    Dthen you only got sick of ferret and him not letting you have your contest.

    I think this is an awesome idea. Go for it, but make sure you make the switch people can work with and pretty clean.

    alright so apparently people think this is a good idea, goatz I would like it if you could make a awesome switch for it that could be used relatively easily in a map and I will manage all of it. I think I have my judges for it but all I need is the switch.

    No rush, I am in the middle of making a map, whenever you can I suppose. Take your time though make sure it is reliable as well. Also if you would want to help judge goat that would be great aswell.
