--Mapdraft Round One First Place--

There are two criteria to the mapdraft [forum.ninjarobotyeti.com] judging process: 1) how well you integrate your "packs", and 2) simply how good the map plays and looks. Most every mapdraft map combines elements of gameplay and design that would never normally be seen together -- this is why it's a fascinating exercise in mapping and adaptability. Sunset's is a shining example; with few tiles and an overwhelming number of mines, he nonetheless creates a series of precise but fun jumps and an easy-going atmosphere. — flagmyidol

and

Sunset, sincere congratulations to you. I like the new picture in your profile ... ;)
I like the first prize in each round of Mapdraft is a Featured Map. It's a good idea, even better.
And I appreciate that you use your day in the queue.
I was not talking about it. Sorry if I do not explain well.

congrats sunset!!
map's fine though.
and I understand how difficult they can be to make, but this is far below the usual featured maps standard.

look at it this way

it took flag, one of seventeen (17) reviewers to post this. IF he had not, it would have been 3 daysgahwhyam i even bothering fuck you comments deleted

NEED A PALEMOON COMMENT

I for one am completely fine with mapdraft maps being featured.
AND I USED TO TURN TRICKS IN ALL THE FANCY CLUBS
don't you know a map can't be featured unless koipen approves? now we're all going to die and numa will be slut down by the irs

i can't tell if zoasbe is calling me out

um

to whoever said that mapdraft maps shouldn't be featured: well, i did get admin permission, but i used my own queue day so if you want to be a snarky little whore* about it the fact that it was a mapdraft map was total coincidence. uh, also i think our feature system can withstand more than one contest feature per month maybe, who knows, i don't know, palemoon, mapdraft!

*can an admin please give me the custom title snarky little whore - thanks

and that sunset did a great job with the mapdraft contest.

however, I feel that just because a reviewer makes a contest doesnt make it so that the "winning" map from that contest should be featured, I feel that should be kept to contests such as NUMACON

@Rose

I would be completely okay with that
So what if I made about a dozen or so packs that give you tons of tiles and sent them to ChrisE? Would anyone like that?
And a low number of tiles != ugly tiles.

Also, mapdraft packs only allow for ugly maps because they give you like 40 tiles to use, which fills up less than a quarter of the map.
I like Sunset. I like the mapping of Sunset. He knows.
But I think this map does not deserve the first prize or a feature.
It is a good map, I will not say otherwise, but that does not deserve it (comparing it of course to the other maps presented to the first round). I think Sunset is able to do something better with the packs that he had.
The tiles were created without enthusiasm. The mines were laid by the pack as stated, there was no alternative. And the seeker drone almost not doing its job.
I will refer to only some of the other's chosen maps by flag as finalists.
ChrisE has created a solid map, intense, with several routes to complete, and with a high degree of replayability.
karmap0lice has created a map that requires skill and ability in handling the Ninja to complete, to look great, and use of mines at least logical and aesthetic.
Even apse has created a delicate little jewel.
I think flag is not consistent with their choice.
This is not to win no friends, no enemies (judges, organizers, directly affected, and other participants), it's just an honest opinion.

meh

you've made better bit of a weird feature but none the less well deserved :)

AGD

Seeker was pretty useless. I didn't really like the map, even in the context of mapdraft, but definitely congrats on the feature.

And? Why does mapdraft make it special? Map should speak for itself, and mapdraft is nevertheless just another contest.

Koipen this is a mapdraft map...not a "omg this is soooo sexy"...

DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

koipens gonna koipen

haters gonna hate

koipens gonna koipen

Mediocre map. Can't understand how this got featured. There are thousands of maps better than this. Mines are ugly, drone has little function and tiles are ugly.
