Well, for an occasion like this...sure, why not?
[Edit]By the way, to RaVe and others: don't think in terms of a certain number of maps "winning." It's not like a mapping contest where the top 3 winners get so-and-so, it's about expanding the variety of mapping styles and atmospheres while still keeping up NS' quality standards. If every map submitted is better than anything we've ever seen, I don't see a reason not to include them all. If all of them are junk, I don't think Flayra would be willing to compromise map quality just to up the number of official maps the mod has. Just make the best you can and submit it.[/edit]

I'd like to finish NS_democles but i'm lost for ideas for the hallway layout of it. Ready room done, marine spawn done, hive 1 done, hive 2 and 3 are planned out, but the rest of the map is bare.
any updated information about the maps that will be included in 2.1? someone on our team mentioned that all good ns like maps will be added, think that is what everybody thinks. but I cant imagine that 2.1 will feature 10 new maps. this would be a realistic number because there are some really great maps out there.
Looks like I wont be sleeping much this week. I have been slaving over a map for the last 7 months and it may finally be done. I spent a good 4-5 hours today redoing a good chunk of the map to make it look better. I'm going to try compiling it tonight so I can look at the lighting (for the first time :-() and may be get the first screen shot of the map on these forums. All I have left to do are put in the no builds textures and make a ready room (the one I have now is a place holder). If the map compiles I'm sure it will raise my resolve to finish the map in time for 2.1.
I just wanted to say I really love Cilrais. I hope the creator sticks with it, reguardless if it done in time for 2.1. Its unique intertwining layout makes for some great, original game play. I think its perfect for NS. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

hm... they want maps that fit the ns style. why is ns_tanith still in the maps folder? I think its all about playability. ns_origin for example is not the best one, major problems make it no fun to play. although mineshaft has got similar problems, its much more popular because it looks cool. why not adding some more maps (ns style) that seem to do well, if they dont, remove them with the next release. so the world keeps turning. btw: such maps like eclipse hardly get played on our server, everybody knows them, the changes are little... time to explore some new combat areas <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hi! I'd like to give a vote for hydrosity.

h2o, I started working on ns_papillon when I was 13 (I'm now suddenly inclined to drink lots of coffee and try and finish my map in the next few days), age doesn't matter.
