GE does not have an HQ I guess?

I reckon Funding is excessive. Plus this is totally a ripoff of Mt. Depression. Jus' Sayin'

Yeah, except Mt. Depression was much more... depressing... in a good way.

Welcome to Sami`s home town.

nice way to potenciate FTA, giving an increased idsadventage to Yellow comet due GE has no
HQ, meaning that OS and BM have adventage at possibly conquering neutral properties at north.

no terrain variety as well... zzzzz.... not a real battlefield :(

Shit, forgot the GE HQ.


LegacyNathan (05/11/2017 01:45am):
Fixed,lmao.

@Jackie Milton
I have no clue of what Mt. Depression is.

A mountain so depressingly massive, it has it's own atmosphere.
Jackie Milton (05/11/2017 12:53pm):
It's a geographic feature that you climb and and climb forever, but the higher you are, the more you sink into the
madness that is your own skull. Yet you keep climbing because there's nowhere else to go; slipping only begets
more suffering. There is no profound wisdom at the summit, only the wisdom that your life has no value...

It's also the name of a black metal band.

It's also the name of my second map.

Sorry, Ricky, did you say something? I fell asleep while I was reading one of your comments and it
looks like I missed something. Zzzzz....
LegacyNathan (05/12/2017 05:02am | Edited: 05/12/2017 06:08am):
Sorry for copying your OG idea, Jackie, i didn't copy it on purpose.
Xmo5 (05/12/2017 10:13am):
I'll speak for Jackie here since I'm sure he agrees:

No worries, it's not actually a big deal. You wouldn't have had any way of knowing that
someone else had a map with a similar theme, especially as a newer user who hasn't seen
many of the (nearly) 71,000 AWBW maps. Think of AWBW map design like music- musicians and
bands constantly pull influence from other music. Sometimes it's obvious, and sometimes
it's not, but ultimately, unless you're blatantly copying someone else's work and calling
it your own, it's still a unique work of art; a specific flavor on a broad spectrum of
taste combinations. There are also AWBW equivalents of "cover songs", where someone might
literally copy someone else's map, make a few (sometimes minor) changes they think would
improve it, and credit the original map designer in the comments, explaining why they made
the adjustment(s).

The moral of the story is that we're pretty easy going around here (well, most of us) and
we're not going to take legitimate offense if a map comes out looking like one of the
other 70,999 that we happened to have designed personally because, guess what? While you
may have big innovators when it comes to both music and AWBW maps, in both cases, most new
works are built on the inspiration from and experiences with the previous generation's
material, so odds are that the map/song you drew inspiration from was originally based on
map/song 64,223 which was based on 60,504, which was... etc., etc. Don't be afraid to
follow in that tradition and draw influence from all sorts of different sources to figure
out what "sounds good" and what doesn't, and what your unique "sound" will be.

Anyway, most of the time we're really just joking around, so don't take us too seriously.
We don't bite, I promise. :)

Alright, Jackie, that's enough for now... you always talk too much. Back to me-

One thing I'd like to add to the words I just put in Jackie's mouth (keyboard?) is that
don't let this stop you from making more maps. If you enjoy it, keep going! If you want to
keep improving, keep listening to the advice that people leave (when we're not too busy
goofing off), and use it to improve your current map, but also your next design. It will
be a gradual process and it might not seem like you're getting anywhere sometimes, but
trust me, that's what it feels like for everyone. I've been around the since late 2008 and
it took me a long time to get to this point. The best part is that I'm still learning and,
personally, I feel like I have a long way to go. That's not meant to be discouraging, but
rather to serve as a reminder that we're all in the same boat and we've all had to start
from the bottom (with rare exception), so don't feel like you should give up because your
maps "aren't good enough". All the more reason to keep going; you'll learn faster the more
mistakes you make :P

Alright, that's all for now, but you can feel free to send me a PM anytime if you have
questions or want some map feedback, so don't hesitate to ask. Happy Mapping!
LegacyNathan (05/13/2017 08:30am):
That was *Sniff* inspiring :')
Thanks, cap...
I'll try harder...
And maybe, i'll make a decent map.
Someday, Someday...

Jackie Milton (05/14/2017 01:05am):
No fuck you. Take after me and only make shitty maps based solely on jokes that only you yourself find funny. Or
sad as it may happen...
LegacyNathan (05/15/2017 12:12am):
Lol

Xmo5 (06/13/2017 12:40pm):
Hahahaha
Xmo5 (07/18/2017 11:41am):
Hey, on a second readthrough, I'm pretty impressed by the words I put in your mouth,
Jackie. Nice job! *pats back*

Ah, no biggie Xmo5, you're the real genius here. An AWBW musical pioneer, as it were.

Coming from someone with more musical talent and experience, I'll take that as a
compliment. You're too kind.

Not at all, good sir, it is you who are too kind.

Oh, stop it.

Honestly, though. If you think about-

No, actually stop it. This hypothetical conversation is getting out of hand. This isn't in
our head anymore and people are listening.

Great. Now everyone's going to think that you think I think you're awesome. Thanks for that...
