Hi!

[Pyrit]

Hello! I'm Pyrit. I've been a longtime lurker here and I decided I should sign up. I'm impressed by the map making talent this forum has, so I felt I could maybe contribute by giving any advice I can.

I do sometimes dapper in mapmaking, though I will be honest in that I still have much to learn! However, I'll see if I can conjure up something in the future.

I'm also an active member and contributor of Ubercharged.net, some of you might have heard of it. They run 3 servers which are currently running some of the maps here. The favourites so far have been Glacier, Cashworks and Frontier, though we're always looking out for more!
