Contest
On February 1, 2019, Operation Memes vs Machines was announced to the public, starting with a Mann vs. Machine mission-making contest which would last until February 28, 2019.[1] After which, judges would judge the missions in between March 1 to March 3, then mission submissions would be open again until March 28, where, once again, they'll be judged by judges in between March 29 to March 31.[2] After this, the servers would be open and the tour would start.
There were a few guidelines set for mission-makers. Primarily, these missions had to be "meme missions," with the primary objective being absurd Mann vs. Machine waves that would make people laugh. All missions submitted had to be of Intermediate difficulty, and they could have an unlimited amount of waves, so long as they were of "reasonable" length. Mission-makers could generally put whatever they wanted into their missions, though any satire, sarcasm, or dark humor would be questioned and possibly rejected. Each participant could create a maximum of 2 missions, and 2-3 participants could collaborate on one shared mission.[2]
Tour
On April 1, 2019, the Canteen Crasher campaign servers were overtaken by the Memes vs Machines missions. Waves of memes from the contest were run on selected community maps previously used on Potato's Custom MvM Servers, in addition to a completely new haunted community Mann vs. Machine map, Shadows.
In keeping with the short duration of the community event, one simple, short tour was offered, with only one medal in reward, rather than a extensive campaign. Originally planned to last only a week, the tour was extended to April 16, owing to the strong community participation, which nearly continuously occupied over 50 servers the first week.[3]
