don't get me wrong. i've no less respect for CJ's work, just because a map wasn't finished*. if it was only half of it's current size but finished, it would probably have got my vote too.

*being devoid of major bugs

LOL, thats the funniest mis-use of my advice, i have seen in a long time..

thanx, i needed that

Wow :biggrin: That came as a bit of a surprise! I was pretty sure Parralaxion (spelt wrong?) had it in the bag.

I'd like to thank CJ, ReNo and Gwil in particular for feedback and helping me test things out (oh, and Orph too though that was with Sorrow :smile: ). Congrats to all that entered really :smile: These competitions are a great source of quality maps - and a motivation to mapping for myself - as CJ said earlier about being a lazy mapper....that's me down to a tee!

So when can I expect to receive my 'Hong Kong related tat'? :wink: Heh, i'm also feeling grateful that CJ is all the way over in the US as I fear what kind of revenge he has planned!

Congratulations for the first place Adam... Pulse was my choice for first place too, along with fairytale for second. Both excellently made maps.

Well done everyone, some excellent stuff in this contest :smile:

Very big congratulations Adam. :biggrin:

I'm glad the prize went to such a worthy map. I'd have to agree with Lep's review completely, you really deserve it. Well done.

Heh, i'm also feeling grateful that CJ is all the way over in the US as I fear what kind of revenge he has planned!

Oh, don't you worry about that. I have my ways... Oh yes, how I have my ways! :vampire:

Nice one Adam, enjoy the prize. :smile:

In my eyes, maps are NEVER actually complete. There is always going to
be something you can improve, change, or polish for another release.
But, to put a stop to the infinite cycle of reworking, you just have to
throw in the towel and move on to another project. I think time
constaints affected pretty much all of the entries, seeing as most
mappers are incredibly lazy slobs (most especially myself). Where some
people will consider a map "complete", I won't, and vice versa.

Congrats to Adam along with everyone else who managed to enter! Looking
forward to the next competition, probably for HL2. Pulse is a worthy
winner; therefore, I'll delay my brutal revenge for a few days, at the
least... :wink:

Yes, but I'm sure pretty much everyone agrees that a map isn't finished when you start falling through solid rubble and railings, and when you fall out of the map you don't die and get stuck. :razz:

So CJ won but Adam gets the prize...

Look at the competition page mate - CJ won the voted contest, but Adam
won the judged contest :smile: Many congratulations to Adam, Pulse fits the
contest perfectly and is very deserving of the prize. Its great that
that could be said of so many of the entries this year!

congrats for the participants and ofcourse for the winners :smile:

small remark

on the results page, the individual % of votes add up to a total of 143%...something went wrong it seems. also deducting by the fact that maps like ZGZ, who seem to have had multiple votes, arent listed with ..% of votes. Unless if percentages under 5% arent listed.. and it adds up to a total of 200% or something? But then i still wonder why 14% for flatshaded and 17% for parralaxion are seen as an execo ?

Yes, but I'm sure pretty much everyone agrees that a map isn't
finished when you start falling through solid rubble and railings, and
when you fall out of the map you don't die and get stuck. :razz:

Hey hey, time constraints! I had a few minutes to start compiling,
didn't exactly have the luxury of making clip brushes for everything. I
barely finished as is, with the half-ass clipnodes solution anyway. :smile:

Hrm, good point about the percentages not adding up. Not to worry, I've just been calculating them wrong, it doesn't affect the order in which they came...

Hmmm, I didn't know 10% and 11% were the same...

( :biggrin: Don't worry, I'm just being a dope)

Well, not quite, as it had to take into account what people voted 2nd (which isn't listed there). I do do maths at University, so I'm not thick :rolleyes: (despite the earlier mistake )

show off :smile: Anyway as was said earlier, the maps entered this year where excellent so both CJ and Adam did very well indeed.

Congrats CJ, you did well
