* Eliminations / Disqualifications are in red.

Side Comments Overall: Some of you should have tried much much harder on the theme. I mean, it wasn't even really hard. Fish, seaweed, buildings / houses. COME ON PEOPLE. And yeah, that's pretty much it. Good luck with Round 2. Speaking of which...

Apt: Round 2 Maps are due January 6th, 2009.
This Weeks Theme: Geometric Progression
3 people wile die.

Get mapping.

I GOT 22ND

AWESOME

http://nmaps.net/user/eternal_moonlight · Postby **moonlight** » 2009.12.31 (04:11)

Wow, surprised I got 2nd! I was afraid I was going to get out. Thanks!

http://nmaps.net/user/script · Postby **Scrivener** » 2009.12.31 (04:33)

For a map that I thought sucked, that sure turned out well. I guess pressure can actually produce cool stuff.
Like diamonds.
Off to either work out a cool geometric map or rework one I've already started. hmm...
I like repetitive tile maps.

http://nmaps.net/user/Nexx · Postby **Nexx** » 2009.12.31 (07:07)

Heh, I guess you should have eliminated more than 3, because now you're stuck with 27 remaining contestants and you probably won't want to eliminate more people in the later rounds than you did in the first round, but that means you're looking at 27/3 = 9 more rounds minimum (assuming no drop-outs, which is certainly a false assumption).

*phew*

That was too close.

EDIT: http://www.nmaps.net/189935

There you go. MAP 300.

THIS IS NUMA!

Postby **Aldaric** » 2009.12.31 (15:52)

THIS IS NOT MY REAL MAP! I just thought I made a funny pun. This is a Hexagon Walking. Hexagon = Geometric, Walking = Progression. Geometric Progression Hahaha

but i'm not here to complain.. heres my submission.
