It's juat that
I feel (and remember, this is only my opinion) that the majority of voters on NUMA should adjust their 'good' to 'average'.
It is only a detriment that you all consistantly vote each other so high. There is no room to strive for anything greater in such a comfy atmosphere.
Also, if we actually correlate the data, quite a few users (most) vote 4+ on all of each others maps.
If viewed as seperate events, these votes seem reasonable, but as it's such a consistant happening, the average has clearly been raised. Therefore the average vote must fall co-ordinately.
Or
If everyone's (the current group of popular authors) maps are of such high quality that they all deserve 4+ votes, then that's clearly now average and the votes given should be adjusted accordingly.
Sorry to repeat, but I feel I must drill this.
Now, you may say these maps are far above the average 'noob' map on NUMA, but there is a cut-off point, a zsub-level that should not be considered as comparison. Where is this? I'd imagine that we'd al be intelligent enough to discover this for ourselves.
I'm not going to spell this out any clearer, you'll either get it or not, agree or not.. this is like heads against blocks of ice.
I've also drunk a shit lot of red wine and have just bought myself a sexy black DS light, so I don't give as much of a fuck as I may appear too.

I never thought you were plagirisng...
this maps just reminds me of the one I linked to.
I actually meant it as a compliment, I really like both maps..
Sorry if I came across as negative.

ATOB, do you think I and others should stop rating maps we consider to be good a 4/5? obviously some thought this particular map deserved at least a 4/5... I know you don't, no problem, but should I just rate down on every map I see based merely on the knowledge that no one is perfect?
jeez I'm getting worked up...
I'm actually having an excellent day and I'm not bitter and have no hard feelings toward anyone who rated 2 or 1 or 5 or whatever. I just like to bathe in the glory of attention. :D
*Mech out.*

got so much attention when it is a map I made a long whiles ago and forgot about, and doesn't really reflect me or any of the original ideas I came up with... I was just trying to top some of the crappy noob city levels out there, and I guess I succeeded, but it was never meant to be revolutionary and I wish one of my better maps had gotten this much recognition instead... oh well. I realize cities are overdone, but everyone has their own take on things.
:/

thank you for your comments ATOB
I had no idea I was sounding so bitter about it. Honestly, ratings matter to me almost zilch, but when someone uses a rating as an expression of how much they liked or did not like one of my maps, instead of just commenting or critiquing, it gets me curious, (or slightly angry)
but I'm no noob and neither are you and I would never consider rating krusch's or your maps down just because you are honest about the quality of my maps... I just feel that after being on here a long time and growing at least somewhat as an artist, I should be above the "average" level of maps, but there will always be purists. Thank you very much for your comments, honesty, and rating.
Have a nice day, all. :)

try not to be so bitter, pls.
This is an average map, it's certainly not worth a 4 or above. The design is quite generic (splintered city scape is hardly original) and the game-play is very obvious.
Flame me if you want, tell me I'm an arsehole too, that I always do this to every map and I'm obviously a horrid person.. rate my maps down, w/e. Fact remains, this is not a great/inspiring/innovative map and as such does not deserve half of the inflated and truly thoughtless ratings given here. Say it does all you want, but hold this up against the greatest maps on NUMA and it pales significantly. It's very simple, really.
Krusch's score is one of the only well thought out scores here.
2.5/5 feels perfect.
Feel free to riposte.

@ GREATERGLORY: Lol
you're hilarious... the tileset?
please....
I guess you didn't notice all the people who 5aved it for, ya know, that old concept, GAMEPLAY.
anyway, just to finish up here, thanks you to anyone who played and commented, mostly I don't give a sh*t about teh ratings, so I appreciate the attention anyway. Sorry if I offend you, krusch, you're still one of the best, but I don't think you're a particularly nice guy... thanks you all for the time.
...
maybe it's time I started checking off that little 'ratings disabled' box...

so "noob" maps, the overall total on NUMA, are not average, and therefore 2.5/5... over clustered objects, crappy tilesets poor gameplay, etc... that marks a bad map. and then, you get to a map that is maybe promising, but lacks obvious details. To me, your rating seems a little poorly thought out. In any case, thanks for the time, and if you really think my maps are so shitty, don't even play them.

krusch....
you are an abuser of the ratings system...
or maybe you're the only one who uses it fairly...
either way, I hate your opinion. Go away.

I kind of agree with krusch
It was just average for me. I really liked the tileset though. 3/5
2007-03-21
Did you just censor the word "crap"?
Heh, sorry, I probably shouldn't have even brought it up.
2007-03-21
HOLY CR*P
Nice demo dupli!
2007-03-21
Doesn't deserve it
I enjoyed the map but it wasn't my Idea of amazing. Was the tileset a big part of the reason? Whats z-snap also?
2007-03-21
oh I bitesized
sorry fro not commenting, and I stand by this map being bitesized too cause it totally deserves it
2007-03-21
A generous 2.5
Average.
is wrong or unfair to anyone... and as for /plagiarism/??
Those gold strands, are like, entirely my idea. I'd never even seen that other level, but it looked nice... I guess great minds think somewhat alike... We probably both decided to make the gold look like city smoke, independent of the other's map entirely. Whatev. I'm glad I had someone to explain that other map being posted, cause I wouldn't have got it... you need to comment if you're gonna post stuff like that, plus I'd love it if you'd comment on the level instead of just posting external links... but thanks for the minimal attention anyway :P
No hard feelings.

um, also,
Incredible demo, KK...
We'll wait and see, but you may get a ded... alternatively, I do want this to be a competition, so if no one else posts a demo, I will dedicate THIS unded-ed map to YOU... greatness.

I liked the tileset.
The gameplay, however, did not wow me. It was still very well executed. Fun to play around with. 4/5. Very good.
2007-03-21
You sir, get a 5 from me.
Great aesthetics
2007-03-21
Oh. Dear Lord.
5/5 by five people can't last...
2007-03-21
