Rÿchean - thanks for all the work you are doing for the Gencon Maps. I can only imagine the amount of time it has taken reviewing all the submissions (I think you said there were over 80 maps submitted).

You always hear the actors at the academy awards shows saying it was an honor just to be nominated, and if you are like me, you think - yeah, sure, but you really want to win. Well, I do feel honored that one of my maps made it to the final round -- yeah I hope it wins, but if it doesn't, I had fun anyway. And, I hope anyone who has played on my map(s) will leave comments in my map thread (link in signature) - thanks.

Almost forgot - congratulations to the other finalist. There are some interesting maps and I hope to get some time to play a few games on some of them soon.

A lot of really good maps here . . . I wish I could vote for more than one! In any case, it's going to be a tough choice.

With all these new beautiful maps every scape player, participant in the contest or not, is a winner.

[SuperflyTNT]

Wow, for me they're all really nice maps, but Derelict and Knophree Pass stood out.

[Rÿchean]

What a tight race this is!!!...

Good luck to everyone who placed this far!

I have a quick question: Why do you all like Knophree pass? It looks really unbalanced to me.

I think that's a matter of perspective from the pic. Did you download the file?

I agree, I'm not a big fan of maps with tons of height near the start zones and a big valley in the middle. It certainly looks sweet, but I'm not sure if I'd like it in a tournament. Personally I'm rooting for Jexik's map to win. I'm honored that mine (Bring Your Boots) made the finals and I hope that some of you get some good games on it. It plays great, especially if you're looking for a quick game. Good luck everybody.

Personally, I voted for Bring Your Boots. I also really like Diginan's map, and Derelict.
