Ahem... this map was my first one when I was starting out, and I was still amazed at all the stuff that can be done, explained carefully in the tuts... Consider this an "In The Beginning" combo map which has most of the stuff for beginners, as well as some tricks (like the use of keys) for all you peeps that want to get started... all of the things made in this particular map are based on the tutorials, nothing innovative here... RMF INCLUDED
And I didn't say anything mean to him, I said rating a closet full of prefabs 4 stars is rediculous... cut ME some slack.
No-one's first map's gunna be brilliant. It wasn't that great an idea on his part to post it, but hey. Calm down, and let him keep mapping.
Haven't people been complaining about the vault getting spammed full of junk? Well when the mapper or another noob sees that this map gets 4 stars, he probably thinks: "Nice! That map almost got a perfect 5 stars! I can post something like that and I'll get great ratings too/again!" Then even more noobs are putting their one room first maps here.
Instead of telling me to calm down and take it easy on the guy (when I am calm, have said nothing nasty to the mapper, and am trying to help fix a problem here), you should be telling the mapper: "hey nice job on your first map, but you should really move it to the unfinished section where it belongs".
Please read more carefully before you suggest I'm upset and I told someone to quit mapping.

Quote : "Or that because he used a monster_maker, the closet suddenly became an awsome map deserving 4 out of 5 stars?"
LOL, cracked me up there because its completely true!
So I say it again. Please try and read more carefully, and quit putting words in my mouth.
I'm new, have some respect!
give us another vault to put our new stuff in, because no one looks at the unfinished stuff bin.
I guess I am an Agent of you g-man. what shall I do?
This is an outrage!
something has to be done!
I see that something is being done, in that todo thread, but for now, people like you prick ly_pimple should be quiet!

OK this is insane. Utterly insane, and totally pointless. Frankly, whoever is rating this map so many times is incredibly stupid and cruel. Shouldn't we be encouraging people to produce better work rather than bagging them out continually? Sure, some people don't release good work, but this is not cause for members of the community to weild torches and pitchforks and go out on a massive hunt!
This has gone far enough. I've been here for long enough to see this occur and I'm really fed up with it. Please stop, whoever is doing this. You are not creating a good image for yourself or the site. Secondly, you are discouraging the members who actually want to become better at mapping.
At the end of the day, this is about Half-Life Mapping. Nothing else. This is how it should stay.

We need a moderator over here now to delete these posts. its not very nice to Gman, or prickly, although I do agree with Anthony.
How are we suppose to beilieve you prickly? you posted over and over again complaining about gman.
"but rating this map 4 stars is rediculous."
does this help your case prickly?
"Is this really a 4 star completed map? No. Is it the size of a closet? Yes. Did he fill the closet with prefabs? Yes."
or even this?
who else would do it if you are the one who decided it shouldn't be rated 4 stars.
you are fighting alone on the wrong side.
last time I checked, it was
22 ratings,
and still 9 downloads.
no one else downloaded it. hmmm....
P.S. can a Moderator delete posts in the map vault? delete all of this from the first post. just keep the first post.
(1) I never complained once about gman, let alone "posted over and over complaining about him". As anyone who can read will clearly understand, I said nothing harsh or untrue to/about the mapper.
The map DOES take place in a closet a closet. The closet IS full of prefabs. Have YOU looked at it? Rating a small closet with some prefabs in it a nearly perfect 4/5 stars IS rediculous no matter how well done the closet is. Look at the map, then read what I said, then go away.
I told the mapper it was a good start and went on to tell him its far from a complete map and should be put in the unfinished section. I suggested silent gunz was acting rediculously, not the mapper.
You, like silent gunz and whoever else doesn't understand the simple English I'm using, should go back to elementary school and pay closer attention this time. You seem to think that by telling someone they've made a good start, but they should move their map because it's far from completed and its in the wrong wault, I'm insulting them and trying to tear them down. Not true.
If i wanted to insult the mapper I would have said something like: "This MAP is rediculous. Take this garbage out of here and you with it." Do you see the difference? Probably not.
And silent gunz, if I really was a noob hater like you said, why did I compliment your monoliths map I looked at you fool?
I know it helps some people to feel important by jumping on the bandwagon and attacking people who others are not likely to defend. Why dont you 2 find more productive ways to feel important? Especially since I've proven you both to be rediculous with your accusations.
Now why don't you show some real maturity and appologize for lying and saying I "posted over and over complaining about gman".
can a moderator come over here and get rid of all these posts that are involved in this little argument? Please?
P.S. Wow, I really do have a way with pissing people off, lol.
(2) I do not know, nor care, how old you are or pretend to be. It is insignificant to me. You probably consider that statement of fact to be childish too. Guess what, who cares.
(3) What makes you think that by me pointing out YOUR childish and hypocritical behaviour, that I'm somehow "pissed off". It's quite the contrary, I enjoy making loud mouth posers look bad.
(4) And I see you still dont have the balls (or maturity) to admit that you were wrong for accusing me of "posting over and over complaining about gman". Here's an idea, you go away too. Quit acting like everyone respects you when you are a pathetic joke.
What's with the fighting?? Is it always like this?
As if this turned into a forum...
