    Remember, the admin group has final say over whether a map gets added. Your voting and comments will help us make the decision.

    The map vote will be left up for 15 days. If the map receives overwhelming approval, we will probably close it sooner and add it to the server.

    Reasons to disapprove the map:
    • It has a huge shortcut that skips a majority of the map (small scs do not count)
    • The map is extremely boring and repetitive
    • The textures are broken and the map looks black
    • The map can be completed without running it (such as surfing straight up a random wall).
    • The map has a fundamental flaw and cannot be completed as designed.
    • The map does horrible things to the server performance.
    • The map does not have proper spawn points.
    • It fails !globalcheck [this one is subjective, we may add it anyway with the expectation that 1nut will add the map to global later]
    • The map just isn't fun. Like it's almost a chore to complete it.
    Format for posting a map review:

    Completable: Can the map be finished in the current form?
    Difficulty: How hard was the map for you? Easy, Medium or Hard
    Length: 0-5 minutes, 5-15 minutes, 15+ minutes
    Textures: Does the map visually look good or bad?
    Emphasis: ladders, bhops, surfs, antihop strafejumps, combos
    Overall Enjoyment: 1 = hated it, 10 = loved it
    Additional comments: Whatever you feel should be highlighted about the map, including map-breaking shortcuts, spawn issues, var spikes, death rooms, etc.

    Copy/Paste this formatting for your reply:

    : I don't know which way to vote on this. It's a decent combo map but it has flat textures and dynamic lighting. Some areas are dark and other areas are way too bright. Considering how short it is, it isn't a big deal as you can adjust to it while the map is on but it's still quite annoying.

    : Agree with Crash in terms of textures and lighting, apart from that it's a short but fun map.

    : I would like this map a lot more if either the ladder jump was removed or the ladder got fixed. A texture feels like it is sticking out on the right side.

    Length: 0-5 minutes
    Textures: The maps textures are simple but the good kind of simple. I never lost any depth perception whilst playing and the path to take was clear.
    Emphasis: Combo
    Overall Enjoyment: 7
    Additional comments: I really enjoyed this map even though it was pretty short. The combos are fun but not silly easy like a lot of the easy maps. The lighting is decent but there is definitly room for improvement but it didn't really bother me whilst playing. The 3dskybox is good when you are at ground level but when you get up a bit higher it starts looking bad. The only really major thing i didn't like was the ladder that felt really out of place and awkward.

    Completable: Yes
    Difficulty: Easy
    Length: 0-5 minutes
    Textures: Flat but easy on the eyes (so are you, reader)
    Emphasis: Combo
    Overall Enjoyment: 6, would be 7 if the ladder wasn't so aids
    Additional comments:
    The lighting never bothered me until I reached the paddles sticking out of the wall. Going from dark to bright to dark in combo was very distracting. The ladder feels incredibly out of place. The short roof above it kills the otherwise decent flow that you get from the rest of the map. I enjoyed everything else, the map was flowy and easy to follow/predict. With minimal fixes I could see it being a fun map.
