It looks like it will be fun. It looks like a map that would require teamwork, which would be extremely cool, and rare. At first I thought you'd want to change the boxes in the middle to make them at a 90 deg angle from the direction of play, so that it would be easier to hide around corners, but on...

The question is this I think: How can one create a floor in which the tank can jump through from underneath, but not fall through once it lands. Boxy-castle style. if so, read on: The answer is to create a Mesh . Although it may look daunting, it is not that hard to do by hand. Just take the example...

Yeah, it is just not realistic. The laser beams never shoot up in real life when tanks jump or fly.

We are real sticklers for realism around here.

There should be a rule that flaggers that have played there in or before 2007 have to play with no superflags, so that the n00bs have a fighting chance.

Oh the tragic, fickle fate of the bzmap. The list is indeed a cruel and heartless judge. There are many great maps below the top page.

Callsigns are good when they match the context of the game, like:

and
drunk driver blew himself up

and

This is indeed sad news, but if it is for a good cause I think it is a good decision.

Could you give some more information on who we should contact for donating IP's? I'd kind of like to support the cause, but everyone I talk to about it gives me a blank stare.

Olive is reddish brown? Kalamata olives?

That's the one I chose, maybe it just needs a different name, like "mocha blend" or "smokey chestnut" or "rotten kumquat" or something. I agree with Saturos, Charcoal is boring, but has universal appeal.
