: Now, a Forge competition was the suggestion of Pkmnrulz240, mostly likely
: made in jest as a response to Pete, who is known in the community for his
: Forge expertise. (Obviously.) But Pete made a false equivalence between
: "pro gamer" and "good at Forge," so MY point is that
: if the contest had been based on ANYTHING other than what pro gamer's were
: already good at, the contest would be nominally more fair to the player
: community as a whole. At least, that was the crux of Morpheus's original
: comment, as I interpreted it, and I happen to agree.

: Pete compared apples and oranges, so I pointed it out. But if they taste the
: same to you, then there's nothing more for me to say.

Please point out where I said that there was an equivalence between "pro gamer" and "good at Forge"

"The more time you have to invest in building and testing your map, the better your chances. Professional gamers still have an advantage :)"

Those two sentence are directly related, not separate ideas.

The only thing that I've been talking about in this entire thread is TIME. The structure of the Infinity Challenge favored players who had more time to devote to that. A Forge contest is no different.

If you gave the best Forger in the world 2 hours to make a map and gave an average professional gamer 20 hours, what map do you think would have a better chance of winning? The more TIME you have to playtest and tweak your map, the better it will be.

I don't care what a professional gamer does during the day. If they're on an xbox when someone is in an office, they have more time to devote to xbox-related activities than the person in the office.
