Ninetailefox92 Joel/MadDawg
I've noticed... well, tension between you two on this thread. Maybe I could add my own insight.
As builders, we make our maps public to get opinions; not to show them off. If I didn't care about opinions, I wouldn't have submitted Zone 85 to the forums and would have gone straight to the staff with it.
Criticism will always be there; negative and positive. Just because a person gives a negative criticism doesn't mean they are against the map. Just because a person gives positive criticism doesn't mean the map is good.
Ninetailefox92 I have noticed a pattern with you. I remember when Mortal Skies came out, and I had a negative critique about it. (Long story short, you nearly had me banned from the forums). However, I for one am far from disliking you. In fact, you are one of the few people in this community I can relate to and even look up to. Just remember, taking criticism, and growing from it is what separates good builders from great ones. You can be stubborn and get mad at everyone who has a single negative thing to say about your maps, or you can take what they say, apply it to the map, and see if its worth changing. There is ALWAYS room for growth. No matter if you are a build team with the capabilities of FyreUK or a first time builder submitting their first project.

Anyway, I do think Joel was out of line with the way he presented his criticisms, but as far as I can tell, most of them are applicable to this map.
I don't mean to get in an argument that's not mine, but, at the same time, I can relate to both of you, and neither of you approached this correctly.
