This weekend is bad for me as well, although I could still pull something off. Would much rather do the 15-17 unless there are more people unavailable then
I know that preparing for the jam is technically not allowed before Friday, but I couldn't help myself. I got too excited or something so I wrote some lore for my map.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zeus, ruler of the sky and the clouds. I am searching for a mortal who demonstrates great strength so that they can be the Great General of my army. To find this fearless mortal, I crafted a series of trials which will test each mortal for three characteristics: Intelligence, Strength, and Bravery. The long-term goal of these trails are to gather three different colored wool as well as an emerald block, and place them on a Monument, hidden and guarded by the strongest warriors known to man. Many mortals have attempted my trials, but failed or, even worse, died. I have chosen you to be the next mortal to attempt these trails. Good luck!
How cheesy is it? Please tell me. (I am not very creative when it comes to story-telling)

It's not so much as cheesy as it is expected. And don't worry, I'm 99% sure you are allowed to have pre-made items and lore before making a Jam Map. I'm pretty sure the only rule is that you don't place a single block that will be in the map (meaning you do not load a world that you are going to use for the Jam or that you pre-create a building in another world save).
I'm pretty sure people have made "concept art" before the Jam started. Even if it's not the best people tend to draw crude drawings just to get an idea of the area.
So did I mention that 15-17 doesn't work for me? I think I might have mentioned that. If we're going to change the date just because of people complaining in the thread, why did we even do the poll?

Yeah I think it's annoying that 1-3 won the vote but people complained and it got moved. The 1-3 are a majority but the 15-17 people are just shouting louder than everyone else

I would also prefer 15-17th, this weekend is a little crazy for me...
Yea, this weekend is super crazy for me too. 15-17, I'll be fine about that. And also, more time to think about the concept of the map
Either 1-3 or the 15-17 work fine for me, just not the weekend in the middle
Really :(. Somehow ive managed to be away for the last 5 jams.
Will be great to play some of the maps when i get back though.

Hello CTM Community. <3
1-3 and 15-17 both work for me. Should be fine including the mondays.

1-3 would be perfect for me!

Retired StaffAlrighty y'all, we're shifting to 15-17! Updating all the related information.
What?Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
;-;
Why...;-;

I agree with you.
How about doing a kind of "waves"? Like the jam was held in 2 or 3 waves. First wave is on 1-3 August, second wave is on 8-10 August, and so on.
You can participate in any of those waves, but the map building will still have to take place in 72 hours.
This is best idea ever.
Quick, PM fangride the idea!
Hello CTM Community. <3
Wow the Jam ends on the seventrd! (Fix ya title guy)
Seems like the majority of people can't make it this weekend. You just have to look at the numbers. More is always better its nothing personal.
But poll says what 1-3 august "wins".
