I got a lot of feedback on my entry and many people said the mode is unique and has potential, yet it obviously still won't make it past the prelim votes because of general confusion + the layout is just terrible + the texturing looks really odd
so come on and don't go all emo on us - the fact you finished and submitted a working map in only under 72 hours is already feat enough, be proud

also trotim there's a lot of high quality entries.
i was originally gonna vote you, but well there's just too many other maps that i've enjoyed in this contest. hope you're cool with that. - please though, continue to work on this idea. it could become something really fun and novel with enough attention.
as for anova: give people a chance. a lot of us still haven't played all the maps yet even once, let alone enough for a confident opinion. from the brief playtime i've had of your map, i don't see any major gameplay issues though.

Haha of course I am, I wouldn't vote for my own map either because it's not too enjoyable, ultimately. I'm just proud I finished and submitted a pretty much working new game type in 72 hours... and also a pretty bad map to go with it
Thats a pretty good accomplishment tbh. I liked the game-mode, but the execution was off, you could tell you were rushed. Make a new map now that you know how it works.
I think that this should be noted:
If you plan on continueing your map, it would best/polite to hold off releasing an updated version of your map for testing until (at least) after the preliminary voting is done, that way people don't get confused with your submitted map and your new post-contest map. (and as such, this will keep things fair)

Yeah, I agree with this. I purposefully changed the name so people wouldn't get my newer version mixed up with my 72 hours one. I won't be testing it until after the contest, though.

FFFFFUUU :O
Yeah I realized it was not gonna work well in a populated server and started changing it 2 hours before the deadline. Updated my post and download 5 minutes before...
People are still playing your outdated version, loc. You need to see if you can fix this. You're getting screwed over right now. :/

I find it very disheartening to pass judgment on contest maps A ton of great effort made especially by newer mappers in this contest, who I am sure worked as hard as any veteran did during the allotted time. i hope to come back after finalizing my top 10 and give feedback to all the contestants, b/c I know I've been at each stage before, and it definitely sucks to have your work passed over simply due to differences in experience. Really, great job everyone, I've enjoyed every playable map in the contest.
But seriously, death pits are the worst

I added annotations to the video explaining a lot of it. Mostly relating to the earlier part. Detailing is detailing and hard to explain, really. But I tried to describe any layout decisions.

I honestly don't feel too terrible about it. Newer people will get better and soon start making better and better maps. This can only help to improve them and makes for great practice. Giving them useful feedback is the best thing you can do for newer mappers.

Yeah, well the problem is that now they have this version on their computer, downloaded from the server, and it's named the same. In fact, I'm surprised noone has had an error yet as the newer version is in the complete pack. :bored:
So um yeah. I'm not sure what should be done and I don't think it's my call to make.

Did you pack anything into the new BSP? If not, just change the name to pl_locnlol_72_2 and have someone replace it on the server. Problem solved. (If not, you'd need to repack after naming, I think. You can go in with GCFScape and delete the duplicated textures/models.)
I hate seeing you get screwed over like this. It seems really unfair.

I didn't compile cubemaps anyway, but again, I'm not taking chances, and it's far too late.
Iz not serious business.
Well, you shouldn't. *I* don't feel too bad about it.
