    Here is my finished map for the forgetacular contest. I was working on a BTB map on the Alaska/Montana area and just kept getting frustrated because I couldn't get it to be symmetrical and fair. I worked on the map till about 3am one night and then went to bed. I woke up about 6:30am to use the bathroom and couldnt get back to sleep. As I lie there trying to sleep, I thought about how to make my map symmetrical. When I couldnt, I thought of what my map would look like if i built it from scratch in the sky and made it fully symmetrical. INSTANTLY, like a flash across my mind, the entire map layout appeared in my head. It was freaky, like a vision from god, or deja vu about a previous map I had played before. In fact, I considered naming my map Deja Vu. I jumped up out of bed, sketched down the map on a piece of paper and went back to sleep happy. Then when I got up, I began working on my map. I took the general bridge idea from my previous map and the bases were pretty much EXACTLY stripped from the other map. So besides the bases, the map began in its entirety on November 2nd. The map went through MANY revisions, and shrunk from the size of Hemmorage to the size of Boardwalk. From BTB to 4v4 CTF. I finally worked out a winning design and I just submitted it to the Forgetacular contest yesterday the 27th, so it was a rush job. I have had 3 games played there and everyone seems to like it. Hope you guys do too.

    This symmetrical map is designed with CTF in mind. Bases on opposite sides with 2 bridges connecting them. The base areas are color coded Red or Blue and the side bridge areas are color coded Orange or Green to help get your bearings. Mancannons at each base shoot you to a central platform tower, where one way shield doors slow you down and drop you safely onto the platform. From there you can go left or right to the main bridges. There are small outer walkways encircling the map and connect at the 2 main bridge centers, the 2 sides of each base, and the 2 backdoors of each base for sneaky entry. Mongeese are also available for a quick flag capture. Shotgun and Sniper at each base. In the middle of the map on each side, where the main hallways connect to the outer walkways are power weapons...Rockets on Orange side, Hammer on Green side.
