Making a new mapping Contest?

I am seeing if a mapping event can be hosted in the future

Nope.

That was a short conversation

Yes, it was but it depends on the admins who decide.

if you want ideas for something to make, here is a good one I came with a while ago, you know that map in episode 2, where you are looking out over the destroyed citadel from that vantage point with the bridge behind you? I have always wanted to use that as a base to build the beta gman speech from, hear me out. So, where the destroyed city seventeen is on the map, replace it with a modern looking city nestled in, dont go so far with the bright n prittyness that dark interval used, hence using this map as a base, then go through the script as it says, but when the dropship crashes, have it cause the bridge collapse scene. Then when the combine railway appears, have it go through the gap in the hills left by the bridge, sprinkle some bullsquids on the ledge below you, stick in the gman voice lines from RTBR, and voilla!!! Cool beta scene with not as much effort as creating it from scratch, I am probably being stupid here, but I have always wanted to do this one  ever since I cam up with the idea (maybe somebody came up with this before, idk)

(edit) you could use the cut episode 2 citadel destruction sequence to show the citadel materialising in the centre of the city https://youtu.be/UwoEXzpyyJE?t=111

It could be on the beta engine for the hammer editor

yeh, that was just an idea I had for recreating the cut intro, I have never really liked the surreal way DI handled it, of course you would have to do some more geometry, maybe add something like a road on the ledge beneath you, mix things up a bit so you cant instantly tell it is built off the episode 2 map, I have always imagined the cut intro on that map since, in my opinion it works nicely, not too picturesque, but nice, and you could do some coterminus like retexturing, add some fog, stick the citadel in, et cetera for when the scene changes

maybe an open field where it slowly turns into a deserted wasteland with Gman yapping about beta stuff.

Gordon!!!! The world was light and Priddy!!! Then they came and made it dark n gritty!!! You must save city seventeen, and kill the combines!!!
