Thanks for the constructive feedback, this will definitely help me later when this event might become an actual thing. I will always remember the day when "firewave15" gave me a complement and it helped me.
All sarcasm aside, do you have any suggestions, any constructive response would do, positive or negative. I've been contemplating and I seem to have nothing constructive to add.
You know, its not half bad. I can see this has potential but give me more detail, such as:
Who judges the maps?
Are there things you can't use?(MCEdit, NBTEdit, WorldEdit, Command Blocks or something similar.)
Are there prizes?
If so, what prizes and to which winners?(1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.)
I think all third-party tools and mods should be allowed, as long as they aren't game changing. For example, I could use WorldEdit and Single player commands and too many items as long as I don't use custom items I made for other projects. Mods like that add things, like any one of the Feed the beast mods, or tools that do world design for you like the random world-gen tools or the random portion of world painter should not be allowed.
In optimal conditions, prizes would be popularity and a good experience, but who would play for that? Prizes should be simple, like, (if this were hosted by mojang) a cape or a minecraft gift code. Forum mods and famous map makers should judge, because of their ability to manage large groups of people in their own way.
To promote creativity and learning the mechanics of the game. If you want you can look up ludum dare right now, the competition is going on this weekend. Tons of people are streaming.
What if the community organised a weekend, once or twice a year where we make maps in 48 hours?
If some of you don't already know, Ludum Dare us a competition where you make a game in 48 hours, with no outside tools or help. What if the forums (or something else) organised a minecraft version of this, to create an adventure, survival or CTM map in 48 hours. (third party and world editing mods allowed)
What are your thoughts and opinions on the idea, and if you think it's plausible how would you pull it off?

At my old Catholic private school, the worst thing that ever happened was that someone brought a Game Boy to school.
A Game Boy?
I can get away with a full on cell phone call in class. My friend plays angry birds on her kindle and then switches to the book she was reading when the teacher looks. I also consider my school strict for a middle school.
I speak how I type, which means this would be a sample of a real life conversation:
Me: Did you know dolphins could possibly be the only other sentient creature on the planet?
Friend: I don't even know what sentient means. Me: It's the concept of self conceptualising, Maintaining a conscience state of awareness of other's conscience, and recognising and interpreting other's emotions and thoughts.
Friend: We met two days ago, and you're already teaching me. Me: But what is teaching anyway, I think it is a result of our own sentience, the idea that ideas can be spread throughout a population.
Friend: I hate you.
As someone who is very prone to depression I would it pretty damn offensive to be called stupid for a mental illness (which has no relation to my intelligence at all) which I have no control over and can do nothing really about other than taking drugs.
Luckily I know this is the internet and I know not to get offended by someone's ignorance on a subject. Depression isn't a kid whining cause their parents make them do chores or something, it's a horrible and often extremely difficult thing to deal with, coming from someone who's only really experienced mild to maybe moderate depression.
Just gonna say, calling depression people 'stupid' and 'whiney butts' is definitely NOT the thing to do to make people feel better, considering it often stems from things such as self-esteem issues. Making someone feel bad about themselves for being depressed is only going to make things worse.
Thanks. Also, to anyone who called me the dumb one, I probably was - and still am - pretty uneducated on things like depression aside from my own experience in them, so thanks.
I've never actually been banned on website, aside from a deserved one after I did a bit of, erm, keyboard head mashing. It's a long story that involves me leaving my account open for my cousin to wreak havoc. The reaction was hilarious though.
I personally just prefer to think of them as stupid. When I feel like all hope is lost, instead of being a whiny butt, I go out and tell the world it sucks. It seems like a pretty logical solution to what seems to be an unnecessary problem to begin with.
It's like waving a knife around and then stabbing yourself as punishment because waving a knife around is dangerous. Depression is purely the loss of hope to the point where it hinders your ability to make actual logical decisions, which would solve the problem in the first place.

That would be awesome, if I knew how charities worked.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of having users install a mod that times their progress, then hosting all of the world downloads.

Maybe Catholic school is different.

11 words, you just ruined a tirade with 11 words.
Well played, Pwnguin, well played.
I really have no constructive rebuttal to give you.
EDIT: Although, to be fair, I'm pretty sleep deprived as of right now. I think I'm actually dreaming.
Why does my computer screen feel wavy?
