<div class="IPBDescription">and reviewers! mapcomplex.com needs you!</div> Edit: Short version for those with short attention spans <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> : If you want to help playtesting maps every once and a while, reply to this thread <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (it's not a commitment to anything, we're just trying to gauge interest).
Edit two: oh, yeah, and when we finally DO schedule a playtest, we'll be sure to announce it here.
Long version:
We here at <a href='http://www.mapcomplex.com' target='_blank'>The Map Complex</a> have been doing TFC map reviews with a good bit of success for a few years now, but TFC map submissions are finally starting to die out, and we've finally decided (after my begging the head guy for a while <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) to migrate to NS!
Now, I'm perfectly ready to start writing NS map reviews, but we need two things for that first: map submissions and playtesters.
If you have a map to submit (one that you have made), check out <a href='http://www.mapcomplex.com' target='_blank'>http://www.mapcomplex.com</a>, or the more detailed post in the Mapping forum <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=27644' target='_blank'>here</a>.
If you just want to play a good game of NS, though, and help out both us and the NS community, then show up at our playtests! We're not totally sure when they will be held (they're currently on Saturdays at 1 EST for TFC, but the NS schedule could be different), and don't have one set up yet. We're just trying to see how many people would be willing to come - to gauge the interest you might say. There's no requirements or anything: just show up, join a team, and have fun. It'd be nice if playtesters posted their personal findings on a map in our forums after, but it's not required or anything.
So, anyway, if you'd be interested in being in the playtests, just bump this thread saying so <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
(Also, we REALLY need Reviewers -- our staff is very shorthanded right now, and with the Complex attempting to branch out into other mods, we could really use the help. So, if you're pretty good with the written word and wouldn't mind giving a few hours of your life per week to helping us out, check out <a href='http://www.mapcomplex.com/content.asp?jobs' target='_blank'>http://www.mapcomplex.com/content.asp?jobs</a> . Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

Not likely, but you could always post the secrets on our playtest forums.
And while you're there maybe leave your thoughts on the map, too <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
(/me starts early at getting people do to that. It makes a reviewer's life sooo much easier when he has feedback <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Do you need any contact information from us ? or will that be posted later on your site ?

Nah, no contact info needed. We'll just post here when we have a playtest coming up, and all you have to do is show up to be in it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
