Objective: Infiltrate the complex, steal the gold, and escape unseen.

It sounds simple, but it really isn't. To do this you'll have to jump down past a tall fence into the complex, stealthily creep past the exterior guards, and time an entrance into the main building perfectly to escape detection from the roving guard. You cannot stop, lest they find you, but should you escape from this hellish Lightning Complex, you may just be the richest ninja alive. — squibbles

This rocks.

Make more maps like this. 5

a good, open and enjoyable map which draws a person to the map, this map is one of those rare maps which draws peoples to itself, biocriyoc, this is 1 heck of a map which deserves the feature. congretz!!! :)

sqibbles got a rare talent of finding the best map to feature!!! :)

oh gloomp wrote that. i thought it was a chrdkenman original damn

C_b, there are timezone differences. I believe that Squibbles time is 6 hours past mine.

what?

15th CREATURE FEATURE
16th squibbles
17th kkstrong

...No I didn't?

Fun!

Took me a while because I'm often to cocky. But I enjoyed it fully. I only hated dying, but that's my fault!
time to absent myself from this map(much like the atmosphere already has)(burn)

i'm just saying

large pictures of bibles burning doesn't create the best atmosphere for passersby looking at this

but neither do most of these comments so w/e

Damn it.

Talk about the damn map.

Also, conversation between me and GTM right after submitting it:
Bio: Alright, the map's done, what should we call it?
GTM: Uh, Wheat Complex.
Bio: Cool, I've submitted it.
*GTM rereads contest rules*
GTM: Shit, we forgot to make it "Riders of the Storm" themed.
Bio: Well, what do we do? D=
GTM: Quick, rename it to Lightning Complex
Bio: Done.

Damn it.

@gloomp

Liar. I enjoy making maps and I'm NOT here for fame.
Because I learned a long time he's in it for the "fame," not because he enjoys making maps. On the rare occasion I do play one of his maps, I find it to be aesthetically and conceptually dead. A shambling, Frankensteinian pastiche of stylings and mechanics cut-and-pasted from better maps.

did you take it yourself?

IT WAS A PICTURE OF BIBLES ON FIRE

haha flag

even if your trolling of me is moderated here, you can always take it to irc <3

For sure, man.

Done. :)

Good map.
...I'm not the person who wants stress.
squibbles, I'm sorry for my behaviour. ;P

I was a little angry when I saw your first response to my opinion.
I'm also apologizing for my unability of proving facts and showing good arguments. :PP

Let's forget about it. There's no real reason for bitching around. Couldn't we just be ... friends in an unusual way and respect each other? :C

BTW

I have better arguments when I speak German. :)

I'm stupid.

Best. insult. ever. plz.

also i agree with squibbles because he gets on irc and this other person doesnt

hey palemoon

i thought it was okay to troll christians/eevee here

congratulations

You have discovered that partially quoting to remove context can change the meaning of the original statement. However it makes you look rather stupid.

And yes, it does. That fact that you attack my vanity, and then display an identical trait shows that you are not sincere in claiming it to be an issue. Were it so abbhorant to you, you would not commit an identical crime. This in turn shows that you are merely making up a baseless argument to justify an opinion, which could really only be that you believe yourself better than others.

After making that statement, and reading how highly you thought of your own mapping ability, I decided to play some of your maps to see whether your claims had any merit, and yeah, I have to say, I am surprised that you actually have features, because frankly, your argument makes absolutely no sense with that fact in play. If you legitimately believed what you were stating, why did you not actually...provide an argument that wasn't rediculous?

Based of this fact, I have to say, I've come to the conclusion that you are in fact not envious of others. Just stupid.

Oh, also, you look rather petty if you start a conflict, and then when a response is presented, state that you aren't going to even read it. Just saying. :/

Actually Chr

Your insecurities have allowed your loss in this argument. Squibbles makes (a) very clear point(s).

Hahaha.

Frankly, your entire argument actually looks like you really are just sore that you have no featured maps, so, thanks

Really?
My point of view is clear.

erm

'the only time I write something like "I felt drawn to this map. The allure of the drones and vertical gameplay was interesting. Although the map didn't do it for the ITT, it does it for me."' should be succeeded with "would be at 6AM in the morning, having not slept and being extremely hungover."

This is clearly one of those times. >_>

Speedrun

Demo Data

oh, and also

Don't even try to pass off "he only reviews maps made by his friends" as constructive criticism. Because it's impossible. that was a blatant stab, and the fact that you then tried to turn around and claim that it was "constructive critisism" is...well, honestly, kinda pathetic. It shows that you have no ability to construct a real argument, so you have to make one up out of non-existant logic and general asshattery.

Not a fan

because I'm a human
But it's justified, because I'm fucking awesome. It's not vanity if it's correct, right?
One, I would be very surprised if those mines were intended to be circular. I think you would have to actually be attempting to fuck it up for it to come out like this were that so, and well, to be blunt, this is a GHM/Bio map, not a squibbles one. That point pretty much boils down to which style you prefer, rounded mines or squiggly, and I personally loved that Bio and GHM chose to /not/ to make it round. The complex itself is rather geometric, and I feel it made a nice juxtaposition, which heightened the contrast between the interior and exterior.

Secondly, I'm sorry if you disagree, but the only time I write something like "I felt drawn to this map. The allure of the drones and vertical gameplay was interesting. Although the map didn't do it for the ITT, it does it for me". I would personally rather stab my self in the face, honestly. I write reviews to supplement the map, not to let you know that I liked it. The fact that I reviewed it at all should do that.

bahahaha

I've talked to Pony like, twice. Ever. And ithacus and I never had very much interaction at all. He never got on IRC or the forums. Ever. The most that every happened between us was a collab, because I demanded it, because frankly, he's amazing. Hence the two reviews? yeah?

Also, I think it's a bit funny that you can accuse me of vanity and loving my work too much less than an hour after claiming that your maps are superior to the maps I feature. Frankly, your entire argument actually looks like you really are just sore that you have no featured maps, so, thanks for actually providing evidence for something that I was saying merely to poke fun. You made my non-argument actually look valid, without me even needing to do anything.
arguing over reviews/reviewer/maps/mappers/my tastes/his tastes/your mom's tastes/NUMA failing/NUMA suceeding/the size of your dick/how X sucks/how X is awesome is fine, though.

me and that eevee bloke down there are friends so

hey man

ill be on tonight prolly

say something interesting

Two actually, but only one was featured.
Chr, Squib wrote a review for one of my maps when we weren't exactly friends.
