ForgeHub Executioners


This is no longer are team official area. We have become so popular that we must now make are own website so look forward to it.
You can still asks questions about the team but we will not be reviewing in tell we have the website up and running!


IF you are going to be in the forum for awhile you may want to play this song just so you have something to listen to.
The song will change every week if you have any request you may want to send us a message.



Executioner

Hi I am the poster of the ForgeHub Judge Team called the Executioners.
We are a team that downloads maps on Forgehub and rates them by
these 4 different Categories Appearance, Originality,
Game play, and Presentation. After we have played the map at least 3 times.
Me and my team will discuss the map so we can come up with reasonable rates for the 4 categories
but not all categories are worth the same amount of points.
So don't worry if you made a map that is really good looking but the presentation is bad.
Because the way are rating system works is appearance and Game play are worth the most of your overall score.
So if you made a really good map then your score will be great.
So after we are done rating the 4 categories we will sum them all up to form your overall score
After completing your score I will go back and add in titles to your scores so you can get a better understanding of them.

Appearance- is based on looks, style, and how well you pulled off your theme. Appearance is also 40% of your score.
So it is worth 2 point's.
Titles
Disturbing, Garbage, Disaster, Horrifying, Macaroni Art, Center Piece, Work Of Art, Monument, Master Piece, Mona Lisa

Game play- is based on how well your map keeps people entertained and if it played like you said it would. Game Play is also 40% of your score.
So it is worth 2 point's.
Titles
Razer Blades and Lemon Juice, Horrible, Trash, Uncomfortable, Relaxed, Home Sweat Home, Exciting, Heave On Forge, Legendary, Mythical

Originality- is based on how unique your map is and how different it is from all the others. Originality is also 10% of your score.
So it is worth 1/2 of a point.
Titles
Ditto, Mirror, Resource, Unique, Exotic

Presentation- is based on how well you showed off your map with pictures, videos, and great descriptions. Presentation is also 10% of your score.
So it is worth 1/2 of a point.
Titles
Temporary Blindness, Eye Sore, Boring, Entertaining, Shark Attack



A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR SYSTEM LINK TEAM

We are a 8 man team. Every one on the team is a forger and a damn good
one at that. So we all know what is good and whats not. Not all of us
forge the same type of maps. So when we judge you get rated by
different points of view not just one. We started this team because we
wanted to help out other people with there map's by giving advise or
telling them how good there map is in different categories not just one. So
in the end we are just trying to help :)



ForgeHub Team Executioners Online
The Forgehub Team Executioners is not just a system link team it also has it's beloved online team. Which is much more complex and well
organized. The difference between these two teams is big. On the system link team everyone who plays the map has a say on how the Game play and
Appearance of a map is rated. Unlike the online team which must be controlled by ranks and so only certain people have a say about the rates of the
map. Sad for some but it does keep things in line and not out of control. Also the team members on the system link team are not aloud to post on a
map that has been tested unlike the online team were any one can state what the thought about the downloaded map. Freedom of speech can't stop
it. LOL

Here is a little bit of info on the ranks and who is placed in the spots.
If there is a spot open and you wish to join the online team go on send me a message asking what position you want
and why you would be good for that spot. :)



NOV3D-Hi I am Devon Sandoval better know as NOV3D. I am 17 years old pretty
young to be running this team but I think I do a pretty good job at it. I am
not just a Reviewer but I am also a great forger and MLG Player.
So if you ever need help just ask.




Given To Fly-Hey, I'm Given To Fly. I'm the Oracle around here, and I try to pay as
much attention to detail as possible. I'm always there to answer your questions about
map reviews, forging techniques, and anything related to the Forgehub Executioners,
and Forge. I myself believe Aesthetics are as much important to a map, as the gameplay
itself is. That is why I try to make my maps as Aesthetically pleasing as possible. Anyway,
Don't hesitate to ask questions, as I'll be happy to answer them. ;)
Not Taken-




PHROST-Hey. My names Ryan also known as P H R O S T, and I have the tips to
keep you fraggin like a pro! Just kiddin. But I'll kill you.
Vick1107-Wut up my names vick better known as your defeater I'm untouchable
and unbeatable, 4 shots 6 kills.
Tartan Spartan-The rampant Scotsman of the team. I'm not ginger though
Kronos-None
Not Taken-



Esorath-At 21 years old, I am heading into my Senior year of college. I live in
Gainesville, FL, but go to school in GA I enjoy many games, but Halo is what I always turn back to.

THE CONDEMNED LIST
The Condemned list is a list that shows every single map that us the Executioners have rated.
To help tell if the map was rated good or bad we have also come up with a color scheme to help you.
So if you want to see some maps that had bad ratings or good ratings.
You will know which one would be a good choice
just by looking at the color. :)
Color Scheme
Terrible, Bad, Average, Good, Excellent
[-----LIST-----]
Messiah
Kehpri's v2
The Dojo v2
Prodigy
Attic
Tetradymite
Photon
Number 3
Dunescape
Guardos
Ameliorate
Vien
TurfBox

Blackout
COD4 Showdown
There's Blood on the Beach
SunDown v3
Aleph Six

You should have a thread dedicated to the maps that you have already passed judgment upon. And then, a top 10 or whatever on which maps you think are awesome.

Damn, you look professional. Nice to see some people can actually post a decent post. I 'twas a little dubious a first, but presentation and everything is nice.

OK, who exactly is on your team? Also, some of your categories should be joined up eg. merging and interlocks should go under 'Forging Techniques' and you should place a lower emphasis on appearance and presentation when considering your final score.

Also, can people submit maps for this thread?


"Two French Admirals berating a US Naval Attache. "Why must we speak to you in English. Why don't you have to learn French instead of our having to learn English?"
"Maybe because we arranged it so you didn't have to learn German?"

Most of my team members don't like there tags being thrown out to the public but I can give you one which is my good friend ###### ##### he is a great forger :) and for the forging techniques the reason i don't do that is because I wanted to brake down the categories a bit more. The last idea was pretty good I might just do that. :) because maps should be judge more about them and not on how there sold.

PS: If there is any map that you wish for my team to Judge just send me a link.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the Review Hub will be out soon and will monopolize the rating community.

As for your review team, it needs some work. You need to be pointed in the right direction.

First and foremost, you need to use impeccable spelling and grammar. If you cannot use 'pulled' correctly, you need to brush up on your stuff. Try using FireFox if you are a bad speller. It has spell check. I cannot take you seriously if your text is a punishment to read. Also, take time to construct your message. The message should be conveyed in an attractive and interesting manner as to support your cause, but no in an arrogant form.

The categories your team has chosen seem somewhat a misrepresentation of what maps should be. Gameplay is by far the most important part of a map, yet you have let only 1/6 of the rating be for it. Why is that?

You seem to base 1/2 of your ratings on aesthetics. This is a very bad idea because maps should be judged by how well they play not by how good they look. You have appearance, merging, and interlocking. Appearance is agreeable, but are the other two necessary? All 3 can be considered as one category.

First off, your view on merging is either incorrect or I have misinterpreted it. Fusing 2 or more objects together is called interlocking. Meging or geo-merging is fusing an object with original map geometry. I think you have your terms jumbled. Next, you have interlocking as filling in cracks which can also be geo-merging. Both of these categories can be considered minuscule parts of gameplay and/or aesthetics.

Your category system confuses me. I do not understand how filling crack can be as important as gameplay. You would have to have some wort of weighting system, but your explanation shows no sign of one.

Let's say you review map X. Map X is beautiful, so it gets a 10 in appearance. It has cool shapes, so it gets a 10 in merging. It has no cracks, so it gets a 10 in interlocking. It is unique, so it gets a 10 in originality. The thread has enough pictures and a good description, so it get a 10 in presentation.

Appearance: 10/10
Merging: 10/10
Interlocking:10/10
Originality: 10/10
Presentation: 10/10

Wait, we forgot gameplay. It's horrible. You could break out, the spawns were horrible, the weapons were imbalanced, and it was just no fun. It gets a 0.

Let's average the score.

4.167 Hmm that seems a bit high for such a bad map.

According to you rating, Map X gets a 4.167(8.333) even though it has horrible gameplay. The Review Hub's cirteria would give it a 2(4).

Do you see what I am getting at? Your current category system misrepresents what maps are all about which is playability. Ihope this helps. Know that I am not trying to hurt you or your group. I am trying to help.

I got about half my team over here at my place and we all read what you posted. You have many good idea's and that is why we are going to change many of our Judging tactics. It may take a bit but when we are done everything should be allot more understandable and allot more reasonable.

Thanks for the help :)

You've prettied up your thread nicely, but in the end the 'condemned' list is just calling out shit maps. I don't think that's fair on the map creators. However, if you help the map creators with second versions or their forging in general then this group may have more to it than this group could be helpful to the community (assuming the review hub doesn't beat you to it).

Also, your sig needs to be a maximum of 500x200 pixels.


A good sig is on the way! *Opens MS paint*
