This map was featured on 2009-09-09

Most of you know Green_Ghost for his abstract mapping style, interesting features and general awesomeness. However, I’ve found something which breaks his norm of breaking the norm, but doesn’t quite fit the mould either.

Pirates, Knights and Vikings (oh my) is one of those subtle maps, where flow has to be discovered. But despite linear and minimal appearances, finding a unique route to highscore couldn’t be more fun. He doesn’t try too hard to please, and even with his first map, Green_Ghost shows us that the best kind of superstructure is often hidden.

I can’t remember the witty ending :/ — Guitar_Hero_Matt

I found this quite nice, congrats on the feature

Damn. I think I have the 11th? Can't check.

Here goes nothing.

Sorry ska

I'm in the habit of capitalising, and I didn't think to look. :/

Also, I think the fact that everyone is saying that it is "Amazing for a first map" say that it is far better then the expected quality of a first map.

Whilst the deception is bad, and dishonest, I personally don't see it as such a big deal.
Do you know Pitch? You two should collab.

huh

old numa brought back some memories.
and I dunno, I don't think that it's fantastic, but, I'm not the reveiwer. it is pretty fun though, and has an almost metanet-ish look.

firstly, it's 'ska'

secondly, yes - I believe it does matter. If new people think that this is the kind of quality we expect from a first map then they are being completely disillusioned. Not only that - but Pitch has made it abundantly clear already on his last map that he did indeed multi-account, yet people will just incorrectly assume this was his first (like so many of you already have). when evidently it isn't. So to sum it up - this guy was deceiving us; We proved it - yet you act like it doesn't matter?
meh
It doesn't change the quality of the map.

GUYS!!!

THIS IS NOT HIS FIRST MAP! In fact - he'd been a member for 2 whole years using the account 'pitch'

really great map

very fun to play and i agree with lord_day that this is pretty amazing to be a 1st map

1st map feature.

GREAT MAP

I'd say the best facet of this map was AGD'ing it. That's why it was a good feature. Also a good review. And I thought that Pitch had admitted to being Green_Ghost a long time ago.

Yeah thanks ska

that link was interesting how did you find it.
It is rich with history. I never knew that was what oldma was like. Wow, just wow. Also, I think there should be a link to that somewhere on the forums.

As for the map, it has inspired me greatly.

uhh...

I don't get whats so cool about this map

Yay my plan worked.

I had suspicions that this wasn't green_ghost's first account, but cba to do the research. Thanks ska, I'll update the stats with this.

10 frames off ska

but that is one amazing first map =D

hang on..

is this actually his first map? Because he is also "Pitch" (he multiaccounted and then deleted his old Pitch maps). I think Pitch had maps older than this ('06 maybe?) and would explain why this map is of such high quality.
very nice first.
agd.

I loved the "oh my" part. :D

nice one gtm

this is real cool.

great review.

best i've seen in a long time. way to turn an ordinary idea into something well readable. map is not that good, though.

so

was that the witty ending or were you being serious?

pretty unexpected

thanks for the feature though

first map?

yeah right

:\

Heh. Heheh.

You trickster you.

ooh

fun

All gold demo

Not bad for a first map. 4/5
Demo Data

Nice!

I saw MomentLikeThis's demo and it looked so fun I had to do it myself. Anyway, regardless of whether or not it's your first, it's a pretty good map. I see this map as a string of subtleties and relatively simple challenges that come together to form a nice whole. It also feels like there's a lot of breathing room, but you still have to be agile to survive. Good stuff!
