In a bit short of 20 years, FM's have gone from this:
to this:
I see no reason to limit an Anniversary Contest, which is really a celebration, to honor LGS' initial contributions and the FM Thief universe. Encouraging the continued inspiration within the community will ensure it's prosperity and survival.
20 years. What are we celebrating if not the leaps and bounds made & abilities utilized by the fine authors here?
The Stowaway mission would probably have been a better mission for comparison. It is quite a beautiful contest mission, but still shows the early limitations.

Also, what about a theme component to the contest?
For instance; Contest of Order and Chaos - a contest where authors focus on pagan environs/theme or mechanist environs/theme or a mix of the two in conflict. Maybe limit the contest to only a time range somewhere between 3 to 6 months rather than the contest being a full year.

After discussing with skacky, we have reached a decision on this which hopefully will make most people happy (for now, at least) and reduce some of the contentious arguing going on here.
In late January, we will post a poll here asking you to vote on whether you would prefer the TMA20 Contest to be limited to stock and stock-derived resources only (which will be expanded slightly over what was allowed for the TDP20 Contest as has been discussed here), or to allow unlimited custom content. Those will be the only two choices. We are nixing other options that have been discussed here, such as having both categories with separate voting, or a finite limit on the number of custom resources allowed. The reason for that is a combination of keeping the choice simple and those other variations being a lot more work to administrate when the missions arrive.
The poll will run for around 4 weeks, and the new contest will be announced soon thereafter (right as, or just after, the voting for TDP20 concludes) using the rules which won the poll.

Yes, it has been discussed. Yes, it is likely to happen. However the launch will have to be just after the voting period for this contest is over to give a full year before the 20th anniversary of Thief 2, so there may be some burnout. I for one will not participate as I am already working on another large project and don't want to lose another year on it.
Another large thief mission project I hope!

But more importantly, will it be sent from Basso's iPhone using Tapatalk?
