Novice Contest
A while back I hosted a contest for first time DromEd users. The only requirements were that you had never released a mission, and that you had to build a mission involving a bank with an overall size restriction.

Evendale by Random_Taffer Sadly this mission was removed at the authors request due to trouble locating all the Dedx items that were used. Hopefully we’ll see it expanded into a full mission and fixed up soon.

The winning mission was The Mech Bank, followed very closely by A Bank Job and Rosaries Are Red. Congratulations to The Pixie for winning a complete set of Komag Fan Mission DVDs (three disks). Nielsen74 and Tainted pick up a fan mission disk containing all the missions on Komag’s Fan Mission DVD 1, current as of September 2005.
I would like to thank all the mission authors for their hard work. I know that making a mission is a big challenge, and we got some really good entries in this contest that people have really enjoyed playing. I also would like to thank the voters for casting a ballot and downloading these missions. Its people like you that make us want to keep publishing Fan Missions.
