Numacon

NUMACON is a monthly contest held on NUMA that challenges players and mappers alike to create a map that follows a certain theme, i.e. a haunted house, or creating a map from an image. NUMACON is generally very well received and always has at least 75 entries. Maps entered in the monthly NUMACON are judged on theme, gameplay, and aesthetics. The use of Nreality is allowed in NUMACON unless the rules specifically prohibit it. The prizes include ad-free browsing, custom titles that are recycled each month, and a userbar made from a section of their map that displayed their "victory over the masses." The winner who scored 1st also gets their map featured

Example of userbar

NUMACON - Copycat

Copycat was the first NUMACON to be held, and it had players find an image and create a map that looked exactly like it. The winner list is as follows:

1. Heartbeats by crescor
2. lɹıʍs by furry_ant
3. Bound by PALEMOON
4. Tank Pollution by jslimb
5. Void by Skyray

NUMACON - Muse

Muse was the second NUMACON, and it required players to make a map based upon this review:

"This map is a trip. A journey if you will. It starts off unobtrusively enough, your ninja treading softly through lonely halls. However as you progress it becomes increasingly apparent how frail your ninja's hold on life is. Around every corner lurks a dead machine, every room a trap waits to be sprung. Soon there is no turning back. Only the familiar pale yellow glow urges you onward. As you ascend through the twisted ruins, you realize that this journey is far from over. The story is only beginning."

This NUMACON was even more warmly received than Copycat, with more than 100 maps entered. The winner list is as follows:

1. guerrilla by IWBTNINJA
2. Under Wurld by astheoceansblue
3. child's attraction by shortshift
4. Old Yellow Bricks by Izzy
5. Хамелеон - MyCheezKilledYours

NUMACON - Ghosty

Ghosty was the third and most recent NUMACON and it required mappers to make a haunted house or a map with that theme. Although very straightforward, this proved difficult to many mappers as they wanted to make a map that was haunted, but without ghost drones, or as PALEMOON described it: "the OH NO A HIDDEN BLUE DRONE THAT POPPED OUT thing that is everywhere." Ghosty also had more than 100 entries and was enjoyed by most mappers. The winner list is as follows:

1. Cobwebs by rocket_thumped
2. hotel by IWBTNINJA
3. Vigil by Pheidippides
4. Under the Old Fitzsimmons Farmstead by Mirage
5. Moonlight Château by ZTHING

Note: Since both rocket_thumped and astheoceansblue were judges and they both entered Ghosty, their entries were judged by southpaw. As of yet, no userbars have been issued for the winners of Ghosty.
