I learned that I don't have time for contests on days that aren't the weekend

I learned that even though other people who are better at mapping than I are entering the contest, and their maps look good... it better to understand that whatever you make is what you make, and not to worry about the other people.

tl;dr: Ignore YM, grazr, DaBeatz, Psy, Ravage, Ravidge, etc. and just map.

I also learned that making a 3stage CP map in 72 hours is horribly tiring, but extremely fun.

forgive the utter noob here, but am i allowed to vote for my own map? or even vote at all (as an entrant)?

[edit: not that i necessarily would vote for my own map..... just hypothetically, like]

You cannot.

cant just vote for yourself? or as entrant cant vote at all? elaborate please on your extremely laconic answer

If entrants couldn't vote at all there wouldn't be many people left to vote. :p
I'm positive he meant you can't vote for yourself.

plr_locnlol_72 - Whole bridge being rollback zone is bad. Map is crazy confusing and changing spawn is just weird. Huge sniper line in the middle.

Woah, now I'm not sure if the right version is on the server. Does the bridge have 2 tracks that cross over or only one ?

Only one. The whole bridge is a rollback. It's incredibly annoying @_@

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... :p

Seems the wrong one got in. :/ You should bother someone about it.

I've played the maps for the last 2 days, 6 hours every day. I hit 90% of them, those are by far my favorites.

I'm going to post this here. Too much junk clogging up the prelim thread:

Hmmm. Are you sure all the ones you played were recent ones? We're judging them on ones uploaded this afternoon, not ones that were tested before hand. Things could've changed.

Well for the most part I played frozen, and a few others. That was yesterday, today I must have ran around 15-16 maps. I feel happy with my choices.

The only ones off the top of my head that I haven't played would be YMs, but I'm tired of everyone saying "Gonna win hands down" all the time. No offense to YM or anything, I just didnt vote for his out of spite to let others have a chance. :O

I gotta agree people are awfully quick to vote the maps, we have barley played then once.
Basing votes on older versions is silly, you can't possibly know how much better the map is in entry form. (Or just running around a map, i am looking at you Vincent!)
