    just to make sure, there is going to be a separate thread for posting the map entries?
    im gonna enter my new map protoplasm, i'll just have to set up another gametype.
    just one question, can there be different scenery on each side? it doesnt affect gameplay at all.

    oh yes that is fine. but its not allowed if its "part" of the map but if you can see the object outside the map and it doesnt effect gameplay at all i dont see why not

    no it doesnt make a difference if it has soccer balls in it or mancannons just as long as its at least playable and SYMMETRICAL

    but the jailbreak games types put you up in the skybox
    Original name was Airbound Cell and it was meant for cops and robbers,
    but i changed it
    so if someone posts a map called airbound cell on rats nest,
    then they [stole] it!! there was 1 dl before i removed it. but you never no...

    ok but anyway the jailbreak games require a seperate map, like a V2
    so then what?

    I'd like to make this clear right now, the gametypes being used must NOT contain honor rules.

    oh ya hes right i left that out and thanks draw the line. since i typing this i might as well say that it is fine to have different scenery on both sides as long as the geometry is the same. ex. stuff behind walls under the map etc.

    Don't think I'll be able to make a symmetrical map. Foundry isn't symmetrical though. Can Sandtrap be used. It's sort of symmetrical. Or how anout a map that's never ever used in forge competitions: Snowbound or Isolation?

    actually the foundry floor is perfectly symmetrical and no sandtrap doesnt count because it actually isnt symmetrical because the geometry is different on both sides

    Can you enter MLG maps?

    And Draw the Line and Lightsout are right. More enphesis should be put on gameplay than anything else.

    to answer your question there isnt anything about no mlg maps since well they are symmetical and most of the times there is good gameplay

    but yes it may not look like there is many points for gameplay but we will be very strict when it comes to gameplay and a little more relaxed on aesthetics

    Dark if I was you, I would post it. It looks like it is ready. I only saw one problem, that was very micro. If you really want to test it. I will be on and I will invite my friends. But in my opinion its ready. It supports a lot of gameplays.
