lol not that I dont deny it...I would have made a video (again) and I had premade footage, unlike them, (gamevee was mine) so I had to pick out epic footage from in there. It was also one of my first videos, so w/e.

Also, it is the version 3 of the map..lmao

And thats all that should matter for a minigame, though I try to keep a scoring system for my own minigames. He could easily have used a KOTH/VIP system, but thats OK. His system works fine.

agreed. Very well put Insane.

The Good
(+)Awesomely addictive mini-game (putting that lightly). Much better than previous needler spamming maps (I'm looking at you purple monster gametype thingy...poop? I honestly hated that crap)
(+)Deathpit adds lots of strategy on where you should be jumping
(+)Fun to watch your friends die everytime

The Bad
(-)Spam spam spam that needler! PHAIL!
(-)Me:So...can humans win?
Host:F**K no! hahahahahahaha
Me:*Sigh* not this crap again
(-)Think purple monsters, switch the roles, keep the lagginess, keep the amount of boredom you had, and the impossibility of winning.

THE Question
(?)Why do people keep making s**t like this? At least in Cat 'n Mouse you can possibly win as a human...well unless you count spawn camping, no weapons, "Trained Experts" of Cat 'n Mouse (seriously, I've met people on forgehub who act like its the f**king olympics), the...I'm getting off topic again.

The Verdict
If you enjoy knowing you can't win, lag, spamming, boredom, and f**s who played purple monsters with 2 people in their party for 3 weeks, by all means download away. If you want to experience the "joy" of playing this map and gametype, grab a s**t load of beer and get totally wasted, sit on the couch and watch reruns of Gilmore Girls, jerk off with tabascos sauce, fall asleep, wake up the next morning with the burning p***s and the wicked hangover. In short, the map is good, but what its built for is c**p. I give pennyless v3 by Deathtoll77 and idiotninja a gracious 1/5, because I can't go lower. Next time you guys want to make a minigame map (and honestly I hope you do because you have proven yourselves that you are creative) think before you post.

P.S. Sorry about the harsh words of choice. Its just a thing I do to get your attention and to make the moderators stand on their toes a little.

Grading Scale
1/5-DON'T DOWNLOAD!
2/5-Lame, don't recommend, but if you like the looks or you dig the feel, DL away.
3/5-Lacking, but it is worth checking out!
4/5-AMAZING! DL for sure!
5/5-Don't expect seeing this too much, I'm looking for PERFECT! As in its in my fileshare FOREVER!

Hated me the first time? I'll give you another opinion from me at no cost! Just give me a holla!

The A17 Review is not part of any Community Forge Rating Groups, nor is it endorsed or copied from. CommanderA17 reviews voluntarily. I am not paid, nor am I given extra rep or whatever kinda crap like that. I play every map before judgment strikes.

So from what you've said, if you can win it's fun.
Why not forget about the destination and enjoy the journey.


If you fail to have fun, that's fine but you cannot deny that others have fun and that this is a very original map and idea. Your review, as far as I'm concerned is awful and fail.

I don't really take the crap spewing from you serious when you're blatantly insulting this map, a previous feature and the staff's judgement. When you're reviewing a map, referring to it as crap, or shit, or fail you fail at your review. It is not a review, it is not done on a neutral level. You personally hate the map, and you're entitled to your opinion but you were reviewing it as if it is general fact. Which it is not, it is your opinion.


It seems you only like to win and not to play. It's not about the destination but the journey. I'm surprised you don't consider death pits as fail as it seems you don't have much that isn't considered fail. There are numerous aspects to Pennyless that, in my opinion, make it a unique and enjoyable experience. What you said there makes no sense, "it's good but what it's built for is crap". So, you feel that it was built well but it doesnt play well? Well, that's your opinion and mine is that it both looks and plays very well.

The map is all about moving, keep moving, keep on your toes to avoid the needles. If it doesn't appeal to you then there's no need to mouth off at it. Keep your overly bias opinions to yourself and instead offer constructive critisism and while you're at it, quit doing reviews.

There's my opinion on your review.


oh and...

Its just a thing I do to get your attention and to make the moderators stand on their toes a little.

What about? Your poor reviews and your whoring of the word fail

[Bloo Jay]

Linu, remember you are a mod now. You can infract for the use of the word "Fail".

Anyways, I just played this map once today. God, that was really awsome, the humans only had goten to a powerup once, but it was really fun anyways, even when as a human.

Congratz on the feature.

[Stealth]

wow who called it just look at mai sig!!! Deathtoll and idiotninja you guys have perfected this map and it has to be one of the best minigames evermade. i was playing it just a couple minutes ago and then i get a message saying check forgehub. and look it was featured. My favorite part about v3 is the custom power ups they really added the extra element needed for this game. 5/5

[Vorpal Saint]

The first time I played this, I was all like "WTF HAX?!" and then I was like "Dude this rocks!" and then when I helped made v3 I was like "FEATURE NAO!" --And hey look! It's featured! lawlz! So for you nay-sayers, don't be hatin' cause you can't win this mini-game (in as you don't like the fact that you have to be good at jumping and actually use your brain -not saying you don't have to for others). You have to give these two forgers credit for coming up with a new and rather fun mini-game. --I'm also sure these two will make more mini-games of epicness in the future.

[EpicFishFingers]

Mixed views on this map. I'll rate it once I play it. I'll DL it now and give it the benefit of the doubt. Looks good though. Wow, I'm surprised it got featured, you know with "purple monster" an' all.

I like this map by looking at the pics, but it might be no better than Jenga tower or that map where the zombie has to whack random crap into that tube .

[HalfBrian]

I played this two weeks ago in Tex' TGIF party, and I think everyone had a lot of fun.

Two tips for the Humans:

Get and use the powerups.
Try to never jump when you have needles in you.

I think it would be a bit more realistic for the humans if another Deployable Cover was put on, but oh well.

Congrat's on the feature!
