    Close but no cigar. I actually gave the name of the entire map in the last update, I'll let you figure that out first.

    Hint. Hi = * (

    Note the space BTW

    Data High? it looks really not that great, its a hub of teleporters which really is not showing anything, i hope there is a good map coming out of this, not just a good post

    I cant see HI = *( Anywhere

    All I Can get from it though is its DAT****A

    Or possibly ! is an ignored character and !! indicates a space in text.
    The other symbols then represent a character.

    Which could mean, DATA CORE?
    Or using only what was on the first line.
    Could mean ! = a Which wouldnt be a real named thing. so ! should either be E or O
    Dato isnt a real word.. so ! should be E?

    DATE@EE(%

    ??????

    Now what we've got here is a map that's been constantly bumped for the past 5 days (while other good maps from 1 day ago are being sent to the 2nd page), that has a couple of gametype details, 3 pictures of the same image, and .. oh wait, we don't even know the title of the map. At this rate we'll have your final map preview in.. 15 more days.

    What you're doing is putting an unfair weight on the balance beam.. Sure, everyone else can do it, but they choose not to, simply because they would rather do something special on the ACTUAL MAP POST.

    /rant

    Goodbye.

    Can I get a lock please Mods? The idea for the thread was good in my opinion, but it is sparking too much contreversy. I'll post an actual preview thread later when I have more information.

    I really don't get this? I guess this is some new cool game your making correct?

    But I really like this deciphering stuff, it makes previews more fun and people pay more attention to it. Can't wait until this gets released, i've been soo stoked for it.

    Well I got about 3 lines in and stopped caring. Not really the best way to promote your map IMO.

    Could the name have something to do with you username?

    Both are 8 letters and both contain D & A. I dont want to be spitting out random names if im not on the ball here!

    Another hint for the name.

    Look at the name I gave, and look at the numbers on your keyboard.

    D a t ! @ ! !( %

    # !* ! !^ a

    Would = (if on american qwerty which i assume you are) D A T 1 2 1 1 9 5 3? 1 8 1 1 6 a
    So now assuming that we have numbers.. we need letters.. and each number could represent a letter of the alpha bet.

    D A T 1 2 1 1 9 5 3? 1 8 1 1 6 a
    D A T (A) (B) (A) (A) (I) (E) (C) (A) (H) (A) (A) (F) A
    That doesnt quite make sense..

    D A T 1 21 19 5 3 18 1 16 a
    D A T (A) (U) (S) (E) (C) (R) (A) (P) A
    Funny.. but I dont think thats what we want.

    D A T 1 2 1 19 5 3 1 8 1 1 6 a
    DAT(A) (B)(A)(S)(E) (C)(A)(H)(A)(P)A
    I think im getting closer...

    D A T 1 2 1 19 5 3 18 1 1 6 a
    DAT(A) (B)(A)(S)(E) (C)(R)(A)(A)(F)A
    Again.. doesnt look like thats gonna be the name.

    Is the final name an acronym?

    Maybe theres something I'm missing?
    D A T 1 2 1 1 9 5 3 1 8 1 1 6 a

    DAT(A)(B)(A)(S)(E) Is the map name?

    The rest isnt actually part of the name hence its on a different line?
    3 1 8 1 1 6 Just translates as (C)(R)(A)(P) and the "a" means its irrelevant?

    D A T 1 2 1 1 9 5 3? 1 8 1 1 6 a
    D A T I A I I C ? H I X I I V A
    thats replacing ! with i, @ with a, # with H etc...

    D A T 1 2 1 1 9 5 3? 1 8 1 1 6 a
    DATA BASE is the best i can get

    Database!

    Correct!

    And retroactively the a = !

    So I was saying, "Crap!"
    As in a term of horror due to failure to continue.

    Look out for the official map post. Seeing as most people won't get it now and I can't change the title, will a mod please lock this? Thanks.
