Welcome to the Voting thread for the latest Mapping Contest held by myself, Soljah, For November! This time around we had a nice variation of styles, detail and passion. I am very pleased with the effort many of them have had put into them.

As most of you are Aware ~ The prizes for the Mapping contest are the first of their kind. A nice healthy Cash prize for the 2 top applicants!

I hope that you vote for who YOU believe has produced the best map; Do not read what other people's opinions are, Vote for the most appealing to you.

You can vote for as many people as you please, But be aware that if you vote for everyone, you may as-well not vote at all as it will not give a clear result. I apologize for the lack of images below, but due to the sheer amount and size of maps I will leave them as links.

Without further ado, Here are the maps!

Hey, I think some people is cheating in the contest by creating some accounts and voting himself.

I think that this isn't fair for the other contestants…

As I said, I just think it... But please, be fair.

Maybe some people notice why am I saying this.

Anyways good luck to all the participants ![:)](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png)

I personally like richy, bugsick and diee maps.

I'm dissapointed by the entries, most were pretty lame. Die and Kreator were my picks. Die did a good job of creating interesting town elements, and Kreator had the best looking map, but I didn't see a lot of interesting technique.

Zetasis also had a cool map, but it was bland besides his tiles.

I can't let insensible tile placement and graphical inconsistencies slide. Polish is too important. Only one of these actually meets industry standard imo. Of course, that's not to say there aren't some good ones as well.

Kreator got my vote.

I'm surprised Peaverin isn't getting more votes. It's overused rmvx gfx but the map is well laid out. Anyway, I voted for Kreator, Zetasis, and Peaverin. I found most of the rest to be bland, like they took 5 minutes to put together. Kreator's map, though I found it somewhat lacking in diversity had the perfect amount of detail. Zetasis' map could have been a little more interesting on the outside of the industrial building, but the interior was well thought out. I like Bugsick's tileset but the actual maps submitted were lacking a certain wow factor beyond the beautiful graphics. I don't know how anyone thought Naoki12's map was nice (not flaming just being honest). Even slasher's map is better and it has 0 votes so far. <.< Not to be overly critical of other's personal taste, but I don't know what some voters are thinking when they pick which one(s) should win. It makes me wonder how fair the mapping contest is, when some of the people judging seem to have no sense of what a good map is. There should be a select group of individuals (who can map and recognize mapping skill) that are unbiased to do judging for a contest like this. But hey, that's my opinion.
