    This does seem like a really interesting idea. I think I'm gonna go load up some old maps right now and re-familiarize myself with the palettes!

    Remember to tell all your friends about this. And, I have seen how to trap a noob. It wasn't the kinda map I was talking about though...

    I would love to help you set this up. As most people have said this is a great idea.

    the first map should definatly be Last resort. You should have atleast 3 rounds and each time have the map get harder.

    I have another Idea, but it might take me awhile to write it down. I'm going to write it now and I will post soon.

    K, I can't wait to hear your suggestion. You look like you could be a powerful help in setting this up.

    I will give you the short version for now.

    All of these will get a rating out of ten
    Each map has a difficulty rating (eg. the hardest will have a rating out of ten), Playability, originality and maybe how well its made. So you will get a overall rating out of 40.

    This is too help people make there own map and it won't be just one map. You can choose any of the maps that aren't downloadable content. If you choose to make a map on the easiest map you won't get a better rating as if you were to choose a harder map.

    If you don't quite understand I will try and explain it a bit better

    I see you just want to see more great maps in the community than foundry. So you want to bring great maps and new maps to like last resort....

    I think this would be a great idea.

    I would be in, except I'd make a map on The Pit.

    Chief, it never happened seeing as
    1. Noone was interesed
    2. Mods were already doing it
    3. I was and still am a nobody.




    But tto everyone else, keep on the lookout. This might happen.

    you are not a nobody the site belongs{for want of a better word} to you/us as much as the mods after all without us it woulds just be them featuring each others maps and giving each other infractrions
    Relax mods not all of you are like that and I am being satirical

    As for the contest great idea i am so f£$%ing sick of green and brown two bases and a center piece foundry
    A non dlc forger must really think outside the {double} box!

    lol. True, true.

    The first map probably won't be narrows, but keep checking back.

    I'd like to see this happen, sometimes I look back at old maps and forge a little. Alot of the times I get something that looks like a new map.

    I love this idea. You should do a contest like this, or get a mod or staff member to do this. One of the maps should definitely be sandtrap.

    great idea in my opinion - whether the maps would be played there on out is another question - then again, to forge these maps dont take long.

    Were you to start a contest focussed on the non DLC maps, I would giv it a shot. I know desiging maps on foundry aint easy (as well as the execution), but this would be a real test of originality.

    the thing to keep in mind with non dlc maps{i have made a couple birds of prey and pelican down} is you can't really change the overall layout or block off large areas so you have to find a new way of making whats already there fun

    oh and i would enter a non dlc contest{forging or fighting}
