Hey Linubidix, can you re-upload The Lobby for me? I have a wicked idea for a Juggernaut variant on a map like that.

Two points, unfortuneately.
Firstly: Not only did I remove it from my File Share but I also removed it from my Hard Drive recently. It isn't too hard to re-create. If you'd really like, I could re-make it for you.
Secondly: This is not the thread for that question. A visitor message would've been the best place to ask your question.

Ok heres a map that could use a write up, Simon Says.
Just a simple overview, it mainly depends on who your playing with on whether or not it's fun.

Sorry we took so long. JAY is writing it up now.
I was very busy last week with it being the final week of the school term.

Again, sorry. J A Y is doing it as we speak. and BTW we had a blast playing it, a very simple yet surprisingly really enjoyable. Brings a feeling of nostalgia back to primary school days.

Are you guys still doing this? I wouldn't mind getting a nice description set up for one or two of my maps. I am looking for help with geomerging 1st then when finished I will upload here.

Please let me know if you are still doing this. I'm surprised more people don't let you help them.

Linubidix · 10-20-2008

Yes, we are still doing this. We've barely done anything but we're still open.

grozny · 10-24-2008

Ok I have finished up what I was needing to fix. My map is done. I still need to get pictures together before posting.

Are there any of you willing to get together a description for me?

I can load it up if your able to hop on live. I can walk you through it to show you everything and explain gameplay.

Well, I must admit that I have been considerably lazy. Especially since Linou accepted me into the group and it has been stickied. I have just been away from Forgehub a bit, with school and the Ghosts of Onyx looming.

But, I will complete a description for Red tomorrow. I have it queued currently. So don't think I'm out just yet!

Well that's where we come in.

To wrap it up in a nutshell, you submit to us your map and we write up a description for it.

As of now its still in the development stages but it'll progress as to how it works. Right now, nothing is in concrete. Right now is just to see if it's something that people will use. If not, that's fine as we're just here to help.

Well, we've been seeing some great maps that lack an equally good descritpion. We decided to create a group that would help out those guys who aren't very good with words. Co-Creators are myself and JAYc, he suggested it to me and we began to talk and devise how it'd work, which still isn't finalised. I then suggested it to Pegasi Delta and he too really liked the idea, so with the support of a Journalist I decided that I would make it .

So, what you do is to submit to us your map, whether it is published or not, and we will play some games on it and write up the description in your post. You can say what you want in your description, whether you want a:

Overall Description
+Weapon/equipment list
+Description on Gameplay
+Description on Layout
How detailed you would like it, whether you'd like just a paragraph or two, or a full on essay.
If you'd like us to emphasize on a certain feature of your map, such as Gameplay or Layout, Etc.

The history and creation of the map is not for us to write as it isnt our map.

This was done to help out some of those guys not so great with their words. If we write something up for you we do appreciate acknowledgement, if it's either putting in a thanks to us in your post or just sending us a message saying so.

If you're interested in joining let us know here. A few rules of membership is you must have a past history of detailed posts. If you request to join, we shall go through your last ten pages of posts and make our desicion accourdingly.

A few rules when writing up map descriptions:

Not go into complements but to describe the map in third person, so you aren't to say stuff like "You've made this bit so that it..." but instead "This bit here has been made in a way that it..." you get what I mean. Talk in third person about the map.
To follow what the user has asked for.
Not to trash their map.
Do not write large walls of text.
Be knowledgable of the english language and of proper grammer and sentence structure
If you find any problems with the map, let the user know.

They're the rules so far.
Also, just because you've written the description to the map that doesn't mean you cannot post your thoughts on the map in its thread.

So this is kind of similar to reveiw teams but we aren't reveiwing it, we are documenting it. To help the user in their post and to hopefully help them with their map's success/attention. A well thought out thread in most cases will result in well thought out posts.
