Also, there should be a definition of the keyword used to describe each battle. So there isn't a confusion like the case of Eden.

Insanity
1. the condition of being insane; a derangement of the mind.
2. Law. such unsoundness of mind as affects legal responsibility or capacity.
3. Psychiatry. (formerly) psychosis.
4. extreme folly; senselessness; foolhardiness.

No, the whole idea is to have different types of interpretations, I'd like to see everyone explain why they did what they did though.

My entry originated from a band called "SikTh"'s lyrics, thinking whoever wrote these must be insane. From that came the idea to have them written on walls, and I worked out in what scene one would see such texts scribbled on the walls. My scene is an attempt to illustrate the imagination of such paranoid/insane person.

No, that's incorrect. It's your interpretation of the actual definition. You can't go making up what a word means.

There are multiple definitions to words.

Let's use Eden for an example, vcool used the less commonly thought definition of Eden which is "a state of perfect happiness or bliss." rather than "the place where Adam and Eve lived before the Fall." He took that and interpreted it being a strip club type atmosphere being someones state of perfect happiness.

You can't take a word like Insanity and say it means "A stream of chocolate", but you can interpret Insanity's definition "extreme folly" and say that a stream of chocolate is foolish, thus being insanity.

Hi, this is my first attempt to Map Battle - a dark and twisted hospital. This map needs more touch up but didn't have enough time. I really want to add some volumetric fog with custom particles and tweak some lights, but as I take a travel for a days from now, I think it's my final... :(

Maybe next time I can do it much better. :wink:
Not good with English... but maybe Engrish! :D
Would be very appreciated to notify me when you found any wrong words/grammar.

Loopy....fuck....

That's absolutely awesome.

That might have stolen my vote. I love that first shot, the atmosphere is wicked.

No, Phott is correct. Different types of interpretations is what gives these map battles variety.

I'm not saying you shouldn't interpret it differently, but there's no reason you shouldn't show everyone the definition so people know how it can be interpreted.

The point has been stated, the moderators of this section have seen it, so it may have been considered. So why not drop the entire thing and get on topic?

To TheLoopyOne:
Holy shit of a first post man! Looks great!

Discussions about theme's or how the battles should be organised etc. should be in the suggestions thread, I'll comment on it here though, to close it off.
A big part of these battles is personal interpretation, not wether you can transform an exact definition into an entry. In those cases a more descriptive story is needed. And in this case and most others, it is definetely not. The idea is that you can map what you think fits the description. F.i. think of situations where you say 'that's insane!'.

Some good stuff has been posted, looking forward to all the finals.
