Map of the Year 1

Hello, and welcome to MotY 1. The final is finally hear, and I can't wait to see who will win.
As usual, I won't bother you by talking to much, cause youprobably won't read it anyways... so let's just get started:

Joe123

Migokalle

Molten Onyx

These are the three lucky finalists.
So, just vote for the one YOU like better. And don't be scared to share your thoughts... in fact, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it.

So get on it!

Migo, your is one of the most random maps I have ever seen, there is no conformity, no pattern, it looks like a little kid splattered paint in an artistic way. That's why you get my vote. Your map looks like something nature could create and not something a man on a computer could create.

Molten Onyx, your map is very pleasing to the eye, its just to linear, I would vote for you if Migo wasn't holding me at gunpoint


Joe123, Your map is also very pleasing, bu its too small, I would like to see what a bigger map of that would look like

Third place:
Migokalle; it's an earlier map of you, I see. Trees are quite in rows/columns which might not deteriorate invidual screens, but this is map of the year. It's also not that interesting, I like most of the candidate maps better.

Second place:
Joe123; this map is before my eyes each time I critize the trend DoR2.0 usage. Lot's of bright, contrasted colours jumbled together with many added details that exist only to increase the 'busy', including SD3 water and a shadow that doesn't make the right transparency on this palette. The busy feeling is so high that I imagine lots of detail combos on the ground and I need to look hard to see that there's just the usual flower trend.

First place:
Molten Onyx; After these, I leave myself the only choice to vote for this slightly flawed (some repetivity) map which has some interesting parts and is well themed. It's a plus that altough the other two maps look like 2D renditions of some 3D game made between 1996 and 2000 for the PC, this one has some delicious Classic feeling. 2D be 2D. Molten Onyx for the win.

MO get's my vote. The trees made me want to vote for Migo, but I got over them. The overall map is simply amazing. Congrats to all three of you though, for making it this far!

I almost nulled, but than I decided to vote Migo.
It was a choice between Migo and Joe, and both maps are of great craftmensship, but since I prefer the natural colours fo Migos work better, and actually never was a fan of coulerd trees (like purple ones or what) I decided to vote Migo.
Molten Onyx also did an awesome job, but it just did not catch me like the other twos.

So long, Sheik.

Migo: The Forest is great but in the fields the top bit of it is low detailed it just has ruble and grass and some bushes :/

Joe123: Highly Detailed Map colorful sheik lets say f we have all green for example would it would be really boring and greeny what I'm saying it won't be much colorful **VOTES**

I voted for Migo simply because it's the best map I've seen for the last 1 millionth times.

Kind of late, but I voted for Molten Onyx. It just looks really well designed to me. Like some kind of natural bay.

[Geoffrey]

Oh ****!!!

I made it to MotY?

Dude, I've been inspired to continue my work on WWZ!!!

Both of you guys also had awesome maps!

...must...vote...for...self...*clicks 'null vote'*...*sigh*...

That marks the end of Map of the Year 1. This final battle was a close one, and the winner won out of pure luck considering the quality of the other maps being just as good, if not even better than the winner.

Either way, the winner is Migokalle! Congratulations Migo...
And a huge thanks and congrats to anyone else who participated throughout this year. It's been great.
