I'm often out of ideas for a new map, so in this thread, you give someone inspiration while getting some yourself. The purpose of this thread is so you might learn a new style of mapping and get good at it. Give someone an idea, it could be previously used, new, anything. Then use the one above your post.
Lets see....A beat the clock map, like 48.7 seconds before the drone train comes.
*Edit* I reckon the less descriptive you are the better the maps will be, as it leaves more room for your own ideas and things that come to mind.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!
Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY
Ska- why d i get the feeling what i typed will end up in the quote depository; or worse: someone's sig.

A map which has a large minefield between you and the exit key, its easy to traverse the minefield to the exit key, but there's trapdoor switches beneath the exit key that active large walls of trapdoors that make the return journey difficult.

Hmm... Cool one, SkyPanda...
Anyways: an open room, jagged tiles around the edges. A different enemy in the center of each side. All are behind locked doors but the first one. Once you get the key at the first enemy, it unlocks the second enemy and trapdoors the first one in. So on until the fourth enemy's area contains the exit key.

Mapped yours. Sort of. Used the basic concept, anyhow.

Hey, that turned out pretty cool. Got really hard by the end... I liked the increasing difficulty.
