At least, Caelum doesn't scare off non-DMers :p
It replaced AirMars, by the way... so, do you think applying those criteria helped improving the map roster or not?

Umm, pretty sure you've never issued any reminders before, let alone explicitly to me, but... thanks? Hadn't realized a context-related question amounted to overthinking either, but even if so, I guess I'll just have to live with erring on that side of "correct thought amount" :/.

Plural of criterion is criteria, brah :). Also, we've repeatedly encouraged players to offer constructive feedback on CEONSS' hosted content. If you have arguments against the inclusion of Caelum on the roster (and, tbh, I'm sorta on that same boat myself), why haven't you come forth and spoken up about it? Calm beats snark.

Anyway, I'd still like to find out what exactly Funky was asking for with his request.

True. Being able to pass our more or less objective quality checks doesn't necessarily mean a map has to stay on our roster till the end of time. It's just a method to sort out clearly inadequate maps prior to checking them out on the server. In order to spare us too much irritating trial and error. However, online playability is the next step to tell decent maps from not so good ones. Therefore, we need feedback, both ingame and over here on the forums. No feedback -> no improvement ;) At any rate, sarcastic comments are not likely to be overly helpful.

I am no native speaker, thx for the hint.

I didn't see that air mars isn't in the list anymore. I liked it much more than caelum. No improvement for me.

Surely the main criterion is that the players have fun playing it?

Let's have it on the server for 2 weeks, and see how it goes.

If nobody has fun with it, you can delete it again.

Cheese, i think Pegasus means if the map is to be brought back, is it just for the Christmas period or would we like it to stay into the new year.

Who cares? Its a small map that needs small recources and is played in 5 Mins :machinegun:

We spend more time discussing than the life span of a nv or nv-ish map on this server is long.

You can just add it and delete it again when it annoys you :clap:

I watched a video of Spambox and I think it looks horrible. But if they really want it...let them have it. It's not going to drive me away from the server.
