Re: The Chaos Mapping Contest VOTE thread (participants only

Bang on nog.
There should be no discussion in the voting thread. The minute you start giving reasons it opens the door to people lobbying for their particular position. That belongs in the individual map threads, not here.
This sort of contest is inherently very unfair. You can't truly judge Terra's MH map against one of the normal DM maps. MH requires so much more forethought and planning to make an enjoyable experience that the 'rules' for a good MH map are vastly different than the rules for a good DM map. I think comparing apples to oranges like this makes everything fall down to who best executed their idea.
Arguing a map doesn't deserve consideration because it doesn't have total bot support is silly. Of course people need to do that because Nog's map is so far above the rest that it becomes the only way to level it back with the playing field. I know of maybe three mappers who could create something like this. Green-eyed jealousy is strong in the consideration discussions.
I'm with you Nog, can we please just vote and be done with it? I'd like to get back to work and finish the mansion. Everyone is getting mired in negative feedback. It'd be so much better if you guys went to the individual map threads and said something nice to the people who put in some effort. I did because I enjoyed playing every single entry despite whatever issues were there.
