Well, you made one and it was terrible (who am I kidding, it's awesome), so... But yeah, I agree, there's no point in complaining.I'm tired of all the moaning over how bad the contest maps are. If you care so much, then why didn't you make one yourself?

What kind of attitude is this? You're acting as if it's the duty of this community to make maps for the OLDC, and if it's somehow a shame if somebody doesn't make one. We're part of the community in our free time, and if nobody is willing or able to make a map in their free time, then that's just how it is. You can't expect anyone to do anything, and you shouldn't. I personally don't care much if there are any contest maps or a contest at all, I sure have enough other stuff to occupy me with.And I really don't think it's that unreasonable to complain about it. It is the worst contest we've had since the OLDC became well-established. Partly what we are complaining about is the turnout itself...the very fact that too few people took initiative to make contest maps. This complaint extends to the entire community, and as such we complainers must also bear some shame ourselves...after all, we clearly are among the individuals too apathetic to have pitched in. But I don't view this as hypocrisy, because I don't spare myself from this anger.
I am saying that when the community as a whole produces this sorry a crop of maps, the community as a whole must bear some responsibility for not having that kind of spirit.
But you didn't make a map either!And I really don't think it's that unreasonable to complain about it. It is the worst contest we've had since the OLDC became well-established.

This is however, not the case. A more logical analogy would be a group of friends agreeing on making a bunch of movies and then revealing them to eachother at the same time, and decide upon which is the best. Except the date comes and there's only about 3 guys who actually made movies, with a good 10 or so emptyhanded people feeling "dissappointed" at how low the turnout was. "How come you guys didn't make more movies?"If we see a shitty movie the viewers aren't expected to produce something better.
But you didn't make a map either!

Again, that post is hardly my finest hour of logic and maturity, but I would have at least expected you to read it.But I don't view this as hypocrisy, because I don't spare myself from this anger.
Touché!Again, that post is hardly my finest hour of logic and maturity, but I would have at least expected you to read it.

You can't call the cops over a bank robbery if you're the one holding a gun. Why do you get to have a valid excuse and everybody else simply didn't submit due to lack of initiative?Well, I can't speak for everyone, but my excuse is that I'm both busy with college work and absorbed in another side project.
