i have to disagree, look at NUT_short_race6 it's a 2 seconds map and some people still played and competed for it, 1150 finishes by 220 tees as of now
i know it got released because it's part of the NUT series, but it wouldn't be the only 0 star map on ddnet and i can definitely see the appeal for it by some people
but then again it's also going to be disappointing and uninteresting for many other players, so i don't rly know if we should release it..

Some "testers" joined me and asked: "Are you being serious?", "Is that bad joke?".

No, it's not. I have made this map with Tyxpek when we started mapping novice map. We tried to do better and better time and it was really satisfying to make it under 5 secs.
I am really dissapointed, that people saw the lenght and said: "Shit map.". Because some great players would definitely try to be best team and make best time (using speedfly, combined hammer run and stuff like that).
Also, fact that you don't like me shouldn't affect opinion on map (hi -----.).

Whatever. We were prepared for this situation, and we agreed (even before posting), that we won't fight to get this released, since we knew, that there will be fights around. Instead of that we will (or Tyxpek will) continue making novice map from this.

So with this post I'm basically saying, that you can archive it.

And some of you should stop being dicks. :)

There was one map in Trackmania 6 years ago.
The map was long 3 secs, and it was one of the most popular maps from community.
Why?
Because people found it challenging to fight for every 0.000001 sec.

Omg, I'm so proud of myself. :O

I like you but that also doesnt affect my opinion.
It needs no effort to map sth like this and people are waiting for good maps to be released and many will be disappointed when they see new map released expect something good and see its only a 5sec map.
Also i dont want 20 new mappers in the future with short maps and the argument "but this map got also released".

Interesting map, should be released.

It might be cool to see some super intricate design on this, especially since the map is so short. Also, you can't really tell the difference between the start and finish line.

Why is it that people have to wait so long for every single release? This isn't a conventional DDRace map at all, but that doesn't mean it's silly and boring. Anyway, whoever ends up with rank 1 on this map earns my unconditional respect.

Maybe if you add another part? I don't know... it's too simple

To be honest, I kinda like the map :o
It's a rather unique concept and I can imagine player fighting for every 0,00x sec there.
Of course it's not a typical ddnet map. But maybe we can release it on the race servers. I feel like there are some other short runs (not hosted on the ddnet servers but still), that are equally short and less challenging or innovative than this map.

So, I'm definitely for a release on the race server (0*) :>
But let's hear more opinions :)

EDIT: I quickly did a solo version, so it's not that embarassing xdd

@Index: But since this map is for 2 players, I guess it doesn't fit to race...

I'd actually be for Oblique.'s idea with giving the map really good/unique design - since the map is really small remapping graphical side of it shouldn't take long time - and then, well, Novice 0* I guess.

If nobody will play the map, we can always remove it I guess. But thinking the other way - there are few (ultra-)short maps where players were fighting for milliseconds (even including SorGores)

[mod=Index]That's embarassing xdd I thought its somehow done solo with speed .__.[/mod]

I like this kind of map, since there aren't many good really short speedrun maps, but the design is crap, it should be changed.
Novice 0*
