I didn't even copy and past or copy in general any of this from another thread.

[Stryphe]

Looks fun, message sent.

[Neo]

I vote Yes for changing the rules so cartographers may submit their own maps.

[Stryphe]

I vote Yes for self submissions.

[Neo]

With a 100% super-majority, cartographers may now submit their own maps

[Stryphe]

To commemorate this momentous occasion, I will vote Yes to review the first 3 maps that meet the criteria.
(I will still criticize the map if I see something that needs work)

[Stryphe]

To help get things started, I nominate Capuan Arena by Mad_Wookiee.

Just ignore the start zones, and follow heat of battle rules.
Requires 1 RotV.

I vote Yes to review this map.
This map does not count towards my 3 auto yes's.

[Neo]

I vote YTR

[Stryphe]

As all current judges have voted yes, I will begin to review this map.

Also, for anyone who is unsure, the rules for Heat of Battle are:

Instead of starting in a given zone, players take turns placing units anywhere on the board. Restrictions generally include:
Cannot be placed on a glyph
Cannot be placed adjacent to opposing figures
Squads must be placed adjacent to each other
Exhaustive List of Ways to Play

Or:

Instead of placing figures normally, players take turns placing one card's worth of figures unengaged on empy spaces. Squad figures must be placed together. The player who placed last automatically recieves initiative for the first round.
Comprehensive Formats List

I'm almost ready to give my review, just a few more plays.
It'll be up sometime next week.
