72-Hour Mapping Contest #2 - Starting 27.06

Yes, but not everyone is still making up their minds and have already 10 maps listed and done.
It annoys me as there is a lot of quite brilliant maps there, everyone is just rushing to vote them based on one or two rounds we had yesterday.

Spent a good 20 minutes on all of them, some more than twice :O
I know I went quick like a few others, but I'm so burned out (as I'm sure everyone else is), I feel content with who I chose.
But Vincent, you got to understand this is contest about who can create most fun layout and map in 72 hours. Running around the map 20 minutes or even an hour doesn't really give you much info how it plays and shouldn't be a way to choose your votes.

It's also on account of the fact that I'll be gone tomorrow, till next monday. I don't know if voting will be over by then or not, if it isn't then cool. If I change my mind I can always edit my post like everyone else.

i found that. i like the oriental theme of your map though, even if it's quite sparse. i think you could develop it into a nice 3 cp map maybe, rather than koth, as there are a number of good ideas going on (the tunnels especially) which might be better utilised that way. that's just what occurred to me as i ran around..
i've only played about 6 of the maps so far, downloading them manually and running about on my lonesome. the playstuff server's been on grazr's map since last night, as far as i can tell. or is it just me? will it only rotate as long as there are a few people playing?
the one bit of feedback so far on my map (thanks to Leminnes) is that it's both wide and narrow. i might rename it ctf_paradox...

The contest version of my map was so far the worst I ever released, my PC gone batshit the last day when I was supposed to test compile and fix. Instead there was no test and no compiling (in the end Leminnes did it for me)
Anyway, working on this map right now - all the basic mistakes too me hardly 15 minutes to fix. Will release a thread soon
This proves at least that my vote is not based on an simple feeling. And the ratings are indisputable with that.

Haha! As I said, they were quit notes. What I meant is that it is Wide (Intel to Intel) and Narrow (Side to Side). Better words would've been Long and Narrow. Sorry about that.
If it plays worse than 2Fort on a 32 player server with six engineers each and no medics, but it's fun, guess what? I can determine that in 10 minutes. You said it yourself: This is a contest about who can create a fun map. Layout could be absolute shit, yet I could have a ball on the map. 15 minutes for the one arena map, 20-30 minutes on the other maps is plenty of time to determine if you're having fun.
Especially if you're doing what I'm doing: If I'm enjoying myself, I write down the map name on a notecard. When I play every single map, I'm gonna go through my list. If I don't have 10, I'm going to go look at each map that was submitted and attempt to remember the map. If I have more than 10, I'll cross out the ones that were borderline fun for me, or I'll go play those maps again and cross out the ones that are less fun than the others.
The thing is littleedge, he just apparently run around them in single player, map may look like fun when you run around it yourself but can be absolute clusterfuck when more players play it. (Plenty of examples in this contest)
It is silly to vote based on something like that, only way to find out how much fun it is, is to play it with other people.

Yeah voting on a single player experience is bad/
the judging is to be done looking at the map overall, gameplay and fun-ness being major. It says so on the judging thread

What, when did I say single player, it was all on the tf2maps servers and that weplaystuff server.
You can use this in the voting threads. I have a lot of bandwidth. You won't use hardly any of it.
