This is probably the most ingenious map I've ever made. Instead of thinking about all the usual things that have been crammed into my head over the years about what it means to make a good map, I'm asked to make a map as bad as possible. When I started to think about what kinds of things I could do, I realized pretty quickly that if I were to take this contest 'seriously' the map would be very boring and lame, if not maybe slightly humorous, so instead, I thought, well, no way I can screw this map up, might as well take full advantage of that fact! If I make a craptacular wad, I win since that's what is being asked of me. If I make a decent map, then I win too, since decent maps are always welcome. So I saw this as an opportunity to try something different at the risk of failing (and thus succeeding), and not having to worry about my texture use, consistent theme, etc. etc. I do want this map to ultimately suck, but I also want to take it as an opportunity to explore new gameplay possibilities and map dynamics. And if it sucks, i don't want it to suck on all the tired cliches that people think of about '94 crappy maps. So, it will suck, but on some clever and innovative grounds it shall fail. So fear not, many of you--dare I say, most of you will think my map stinks. Nevertheless, there is genius in my map for the patient player; sheer genius!. Yes sir! *maniacal chuckle* EDIT: Halls of the Damned's got nothing on this map.
