I played on this map during Chad's live stream, so I got to take a look at most of it. Here is an unofficial review:

Terraforming:
The terraforming (despite not being relevant to the actual focus of the map) is smoothed to the point that it looks like world painter was used. Even though it is not relevant to the focus of the map, it is still bothering me. xD

Logic:
The reason I put a 'logic' category here is because I am not sure how the floating village is floating. I heard something about magical wood.... xD Ummm, but really, how is the whole thing floating? Also, the big steampunk styled ship that corn is on is also illogical. For it to be floating it would have to have sails, engines, etc... I just feel like things weren't thought out when building this. It obviously looks very good as far as detail, etc goes, but as far as making sense, I do not see it.

Gameplay:
I want to preface this section by saying that this is my opinion and not something that I actually find wrong with the map. However, when playing in the live stream I got the 'Lobby Games' effect. If anyone knows me, they know I am not a fan of Lobby Games, but that is going off topic. It was cramped and "scary" (fear of falling off xD) like Lobby Games which, in my opinion, doesn't make good pvp. However, this opinion depends on what the person searches for in a map. I personally don't like this.

Lastly, (don't hate this, it is, again, my opinion) this feels like the kind of map that would not be added to the servers if it wasn't made by Red Forest. (I assume its being added since Chad live streamed it.) If it was made by a random person and not Red Forest, I don't see it being added. Once again, this is my opinion and I am entitled to my opinion, but this is my overview of the map.

You guys deserve to hear good things too, however. So, I really like the idea, the detail, and chest locations. (There were plenty of chests when I played in it.)

Overall Score: 7/10

Well you gotta put some imagination into it xD
But yeah, I agree some things could have made a bit more sense.

Please do not post purely negative posts on our thread, this map was accepted because it was a good map not because it was made by Red Forest or because it was on chad's livestream, It was livestreamed to celebrate 1 year of Red Forest so I would appreciate if you didn't try to drag that down for us, if anyone had made the map it would have still been accepted as it is a high quality map. I find a lot of your comments highly illogical and offensive to team members and it seems purely negative to try and put the team down. A good review balances good and bad points giving a 7 but posting paragraphs of hate against the map makes no sense, Please do not post any more negative comments to this thread as I will dismiss them and delete them, Thankyou

Looks good, but again lacks the PvP element of the map.
The only RF map I like is Icarus for Pvp c:

I believe he said the detail was good.. That is not considered 'hate'.

I noticed my message was removed. Why?
-I didn't break the rules.
-I apologized for something I didn't do.
-I was only being honest.

I fail to see how my map review was offensive to RF members and how I was trying to ruin your 1 year anniversary. This is really stupid Ninetails... Remember, good or bad, I AM ALOUD to post my opinion on any thread as long as it doesn't break the rules. I would appreciate if you would stop abusing your mod powers.

Well I'm being honest, while Red Forest being one of MCSG's main build teams does give them an advantage, most of it was the map itself. But I do agree they had an advantage because if someone else would have built it, it might not have received all the attention it got now, and probably wouldn't have gotten accepted into MCSG. There are so many amazing maps built by unpopular users and they almost never gain any attention. It's not a perfect map, but I definitely like it.

I want to apologize for my earlier comments. I was getting uptight because I felt like I was being attacked for giving my opinion. I want the whole Red Forest build team and their leader, Ninetailfox92 to know that I am very sorry for anything I did that offended any of you. I also want you all to know that this map is amazing. I just focused on pointing out the negatives more than I did the positives and that was wrong of me. This map is 'a keeper' and I look forward to playing it. Once again, I meant no harm by my earlier comments, and I hope I am forgiven. Thanks!

Nine is not abusing his mod powers. He did not delete your review you did of the map. all nine said was that he didn't want people going after his map for no reason, that you necessarily were or anything. You had said some things that were offensive to the RF build team and some of the things you said were more or less targeting RF. for example,
this feels like the kind of map that would not be added to the servers if it wasn't made by Red Forest. (I assume its being added since Chad live streamed it.) If it was made by a random person and not Red Forest, I don't see it being added.
Maps get accepted because they are built good and are of High quality, not because they were built by Team Elite or RF or some other built team. You of all people should know that.

Your second post was deleted because it was unnecessary. all nine was saying was that he would rather not have other players post comments that are negatively directed toward RF. Nine makes a good point. your review was mostly if not all negative comments towards the map and builds but yet you give it a 7 and say it shouldn't have been accepted?

Don't get me wrong, you are entitled to your own opinions as well. Your review was not deleted because it actually is a review and is your opinion. I'm sure the entire RF build team welcomes constructive criticism but towards the map, not towards there build team.

EDIT: Sorry I missed your last post my bad
