At age 57, I joined a rebellion against the robots.

Not gonna lie.

That was one of my all-time favorite reviews.

My attempt at speed

I don't really like the map either but then again I have horrible taste.

Speaking of which, now we're talking about it, Maxson, you said many of the reviews lately were off - what did you think of mine (they were my first :|) ?

I know.

I just thought there were connotations to using the word sub-par that reach out beyond your opinion, is all. I don't think recent features have been below an established par. However, I do think it is great that you felt bold enough to publically dislike a map. It's always very courageous to do so. Par or no.

This level

just reminds me





how much





I suck




at this game.

FASTEST

I cant get much faster

I myself used to be a reviewer; I understand that people don't always agree with you when you feature something. I was merely stating my opinion (hence the "imo" tag at the end).
map wasnt very fun at all...

Well

As a featurer, I really liked this map. I'm not sure what you believe is par. Is there a universal goodness and badness of maps? If so, I think we should get rid of the rating system and hire you.

Second of all, this was not meant to be written in the model of Orson Scott Card, who I resent, mildly. It was just a piece of science fiction that I thought fit nicely with the map, which, to me, is all about the escaping of the player from an enclosed space. The story, imo, is about moving the reader from the enclosed space (anthrocentricity) to a wider spectrum, while at the same time exploring the gamut of fictionalized emotions possible with the future.

And once again, I really like the map. I'm sorry if you guys aren't getting the same thing out of it that I am.
and I don't see anything special about the map whatsoever :/

I really don't mean to bitch, but the recent features have been sub-par imo.

@script: check out Alfred Bester, specifically "Tiger Tiger"
(The american release was called "the stars are my destination")
and I don't know about the review.

the review

is cool but it's more like asimov than card. and yeah, everyone should read card's stuff. ender's game, that whole series, the ones about bean, etc. asimov is another one of my favorites.

Review = Awesome.
It's unratable, but if it was I'd give it a 2.

I love the review. I hate Orson Scott Card.
I've never heard of Orson Scott Card before (and I'd say RadiumFalcon hasn't either), I think I'll check him out sometime :D

To me the review sounded like something from the legends mode of a cyberpunk version of Dwarf Fortress. The map itself was quite nice too. Good job slapps and b_t. Keep it up.

Did slappy even read the book? If he did, he shoulda included something like "The enemy's gate is down." in the review.

tied
