Thanks, I'm glad you like them.

Still, I think if your trying to attract a pro, having some really different concepts would probably be a good idea. If I don't like one of those maps, I probably don't like the other. But if they are plenty different, it's kind of like doubling your chances of having one picked.

That's a fair argument. What it comes down to for me personally, is I have a core idea I want to experiment with regarding third expansions and beyond, and made a couple of maps with alternative layouts that utilize said idea. If the idea itself gets rejected before even getting off the ground, then that's about that and I'm back to the drawing board.
I guess you could say my motive is more defined that just hoping I make a map worth noticing.

I think those two maps are the same, and that there isn't enough relevant differences between them. I understand that you like this basic main/nat/third complex, but it doesn't leave enough space for the center to radically change the map - or you decided not to do it. Anyway i think that if you want yo reuse it, you should make it 2 spawns or 4 spawns mirrored (or 3 spawns if you got balls down to the ankle).

I feel you and I have very different opinions on what makes for relevant differences. I highly encourage folks to play both maps (both are published on NA) to see how differently they feel and play out. Replays are always welcome, as well.

Arctic, what he wants to make is what he wants. I feel only the main-nat-third layout is too similar. Otherwise, the middles and area around it will play out completely different. one is nice and open, the other is quite chokey.

^^ All of you guys should move unrelated posts to Storms thread if he has one lol
less clutter more glamour in MotM
EDIT*
@GFire
Make one thread for both if you want that?

Fewer bumps, though.
Kinda hard to put the discussion of the similarity between two maps into a thread though... Since the maps have separate threads.

Yeah, not sure how we'd do that... maybe I'd have to make a general map thread for myself? :0 I've seen it done before, but usually by people with more maps on display than just two.

Map of the month? More like map of the season!

I think this could be the new 'map of the month'... with a few tweaks of course. Map of the month currently is mapper judges giving critique, but this one has more reason to participate... hopefully ProAm can continue after this one.

You mean like 150 more reasons to participate?

Has there been 13 amateurs that have submitted maps yet?

No, but I am pretty sure you can expect a lot of last-minute submissions.

I'll be submitting at least a couple but I want to iron out the last details before I do.
