The real problem with this is that you do HAVE to expand those maps to make anything playable, and they're all gorgeously constructed maps with specific visions. Trying to preserve that is well....hard.

I'm thinking that my entry for stage 1 is very fitting for this... >.<

Well if that's a call for more freedom and more people feel the same way, I'm not against it.

^ people have been asking for gameplay battles for years. I, and Jest@ before me, have always had reservations regarding gameplay battles. But since there has been constant demand, we're giving it a go. If this fails, that'll be sad, but another lesson learned.

Yes, a battle I feel that I did well in and we never even got to voting. :cry: But SHIFT is using my temple now anyway, so I suppose that was a little success. :smt023

I think it would have been more successful if it was made clear exactly what type of gameplay would be taking place in the first round. Or at least a vague idea. That way, people could design their entries to facilitate the kind of gameplay required in stage 2 without needing to expand all over the place. Of course, that opens it up to people designing their entries to fit the gameplay that THEY intend to implement in some special sort of way. To get around that, just add a rule that says you can't use your own Stage 1 entry in Stage 2.

Maybe this will help things a bit: I left a super awesome secret thing in the atrium I sent in.

A new map battle or another gameplay battle? I think there should just be a standard map battle next.
