The map was turned in on time today is the 5th and you never indcated ither of those rules before. So you can't just dock points of of me because you don't like the way I rated yours

 

[Hiho-E(A)]

actually it was LATE, the time was by noon today, u were off by like 5 hours

[edit] oh yea, here is ur ranking
Briefing: 5/10 doesnt tell how to launch the beam and confusing
Gamplay 2/10 pure luck, too fast, useless corsair
Originality 10/10 never seen anything like it
Replayabilty 0/10 was boring even before it ended the first time
Sub Total: 38 -10(late)=28 -10(resubmitted) 18
Total: 18

Comments: this is harsh, very harsh. One: you said my map was horrible without giving a single reason why. Two: no skill, WAY too fast to use the corsair plus it takes it away once it even starts. Three: its not fun, no excitement, just luck on which way the "beam" goes. The only good thing for it is the fact that ive never seen anything like it and the triggers musta taken a pretty long time. Also, there is a bug with the win condition, because the briefing said first person to 100, not the most score of a person after the round where someone got to 100. So my general reaction is: What a waste of time!

your map takes TIME, not skill. Corsair=useless, gets boring fast, all luck, skill=none, is that enough? ALSO, when someone reaches 100, the games not over, someone after him must get past 100 also, a bug even a noob can fix, is that enough?

Well you couldn’t come close to making it with time or not. And the game doesn’t end instantly when most players reach 100 for a reason, If it did Player 1 and such would have an advantage of one extra turn. Therefore you have to wait for the rest of the players to take there turn THEN determine witch one has the higher score.

Also the time didn't indcate AM or PM I thought you ment midnight

 

[FakeNameHere]

Fine, I take it back, sometimes, I get skipped a turn and it goes to the next person in line, explain that?

 

[Bolt Head]

That is proboly the bug that I actually havn't fixed Do the buildings mess up then?

 

[FakeNameHere]

what buildings? its all twilight dull blue.

 

[Hiho-E(A)]

Hello, i rated ur map... (ur map STINKS) **COUGH COUGH**
plz respond to the fact that u only got a 18/100

[edit] and oh yea, there was a bug when it skipped his turn and it just killed his ling(i think i know why without even looking at the trigger)

 

[Lwek]

If this discussion continues to be more flaming. I will have no choice but to close it.
Now let me take a break!

Would you mind telling me what rateings you gave me in what catagorys?

Edit: What do you think the reason for the bug is then?

 

[FakeNameHere]

acctualy, there IS no flaming, we are not calling each other idiots, nor are we making threats of any kind.

 

[Hiho-E(A)]

lol sorry, i just am trying to point out the fact that bolthead said my map sucked without even giving a reason! im just trying to get an explanation!

[edit] IT doesnt hurt to LOOK UP and READ MY POST!
the reason for the bug is that the hyper trigger makes it so that the ling is created before resetting the timer therefore killing the ling because the timer isnt set (thats what i can gather, i havent seen the trigger(s) yet)[/edit]

 

[Bolt Head]

No that isn't it. The bug is actually caused by another trigger in attempt to fix the orgianal bug.

After serveral turns some times the ping sound (like when you hit a building) would just play non stop. Then when you would walk up to take your shot you your turn is over and you get no points. I attempted to fix it by ending the turn instantly and bypassing all the other players turns.

 

[Hiho-E(A)]

still waiting for the comments on my map...

Breifing 2/10 x 2
Gameplay 5/10 x 4
Originalty 3/10 x 2
Replayablity 3/10 x 2

TOTAL = 36/100

Ok first off you must realize that i rate nearly everything harshly like this. My rateing of your map is my oppion.

The breifing is simply text to briefly explain what the map is. I don't feel the breifing is very important to the map other than this reason but in the terms of breifs there is no animation and the color doesn't seem to be appealing so I gave it a 2. Quite frankly my breifing sucks too.

When playing your game first off i had trouble understanding what to do since i was thiking cat and mouse at first. So i played it 2 more times. I know this doesn't effect game play. Anyways you start out and you had to quickly run to a corner. The terrain was too simple for that kind of map i think, and i think some fo the cost were unballanced. The archons seemed to be stupid and not go in the correct places or try to hit me at all. And just because there computer controled that makes them extreamly predictable.

The game is not very original since it is basicly a copy of other archon tag maps with a Vs. twist to it.

And replayablity I rated low because frankly I didn't want to play it again.

Please don't take this post as a personal dis I am just trying to give you reasons for my low rateings.

 

[Hiho-E(A)]

Well, as for the fact that archons are extremely predictable, they HAD to be comps, when they were human, the game was over in one min, it was basically the person who was fasteest with their archons won. Also, the twist i think is pretty major, because it completely changes the whole point of the game, the win condition, the strategies, and the entire feel of the game. Also, when i submitted the map, the breifing was a temporary one since i didnt know it was graded on briefing

To: Bolt Head's last reply
Im pretty sure he wont, since his map dosnt reqruire a heart and soul to make, such as you, your map is boring too. The briefing takes more then one time to understand, and gameplay is very unpredictable. walk onto a platform and fly around, borrrring, the stradegy reqruired is very low, exept to aim for empty space. Though I have never seen anything like it, its just another run of the mill, something diffrent game. Such as BattleCraft, the game is original, yet has class, and allows people to apply to it, using the right amount of units, at a certain amount of time is something that everybody can relate and enjoy, hence, real gameplay. But your map is just goin on a platform, and watching some blinding speed effects, its like a sleeping pill packed into a map. So I take back my make up rules for the late submission, and replacing it with my new explanation.

[Bolt Head]

I don't know of any simple way to explain how to play for the brief of course but I expect to see points docked on that. There is a little more to it than aiming for an empty space but that is normally a good base strategy I won't argue that. What do you mean your take back map rules about late submission? Are you saying your giving me the 22 points back? Or are you redefining the reason for subtracting them? I guess this is what happens when I try to rush though a map in 5 days

Anyways Hiho-E(A) was your score of 18/100 your real score for my map? If so please tell me the point values.

Maybe I shouldn’t come to these forums anymore since because I’m to harsh with things like this and apparently I’m causing problems.
