Sarge's Super AWESOME Testing Session #02

The first test session I had two weeks ago was fun and seemed helpful to the map creators, so here is the inevitable second edition.

The test session will be on Friday, December 31st at 6 PM PST (GMT-8). I'm not converting that time to any other time zone, figure it out. Also, I realize it's New Year's Eve, but the party only lasts an hour.

gamertag: SargeantSarcasm
start time: 6 PM, PST.
end time: whenever every map has been tested.
requirements:

• MUST have a microphone
• MUST adhere moral and societal etiquette
• MUST show up (on time) if you sign up.
• MUST only use the standard, on-disc map palettes for their map. (NO DLC, unless someone wants to buy me the map pack of course )
• MUST stay until every map has been tested (up to a maximum of 8) for at least one game.
  • Long, custom round-length games need not apply. Tentative until this system takes off.
• The map MUST be playable for 8 players.
  • Big Team Battle or Invasion games need not apply. Also tentative.
• The map MUST be your own creation. No testing for others.
  • Co-forgers may sign up together, however, in accordance with the next point, those with maps will take priority. In the end I would like there to be at least 8 maps played per test session.
• The map MUST be in your fileshare.

• Participants are NOT required to bring a map for testing.
  • However, those with maps to test will take priority when I determine the final testing group.
• Once every map has been played once. Based on general consensus, we will either:
  • Test more maps.
  • Cycle back through the maps for testing.
    • Sign-up order again.
  • End the session.

I would like to make each session last more than an hour, as proper testing would require more than one game. However, I cannot (in good conscience) commit others to such a length of time. That said, if time and party permit, the test session could last longer.

The difference between this and the Tester's Guild is that I will NOT write up a detailed analysis about what needs work on your map. By participating in your own map's testing process, you'll be able to see what needs work better than someone else's interpretation of the problem.

Post-game, let me know what could use improvement. For example, should this get popular enough it could become an official event in between TGIFs, in which case different hosts would test different genres.

Sign-up Template

gamertag:
map name:
map genre:
map link: (to fileshare)
picture (preferred, but optional)

On the testing day, I will send invites to everyone on the list. If you cannot make the testing session, or will be late, you must message me beforehand so I can make arrangements for a replacement.

 

Canceled. Can't get a full party, even with the players that signed up to help.
