       Here's my map donation. I made it large, but for good reason.
       This map will teach players how to grapple around more
       efficiently, since movement around the map is essential to start
       racking up some kills. The map teaches classic knifing skills as
       well. If you look at the platforms, there are many areas that
       would work well on classic. I'm hoping that players can learn to
       blend skills from each game type into their knifing strategy
       through this map.
       Take note that the spawns are 32x32, rather than the traditional
       16x16. This is done for a few reasons. 16x16 platforms are far
       too easy for people to camp and wait for their opponents to jump
       at them. With the 32x32s, players have more breathing room. They
       have more choices of attack, as well as more choices of escape.
       With the 32x32s, players can face off with each other more
       frequently, rather than being on separate platforms most of the
       time. I'm not trying to say the 32x32 spawns are better, they're
       just a nice change up from more traditional maps.
       I've hosted this map as a "sudden death" (unlimited lives)
       Grapple Knife TDM a few times, asking people to critique it as
       they played. Most people loved it, Dante humped it for a good 10
       minutes, but a couple people said they didn't like the fact that
       the map was much bigger than they were used to. They said it
       took too long for them to get across the map to another player.
       At the time, there weren't very many people on the server. On
       Sanctus's, I'm guessing there is an average of about 12 knifers,
       at least, playing. In this case, the distance between players
       shouldn't me much of a problem. Keep in mind that you can get
       across the map in five seconds with the grapple, anyways.
       I hope you all like it! Please reply with some feedback,
       including suggestions.

       I like the map concept, but some compiling of space may be in
       order. Just a little bit of downsizing may reduce complaints of
       other people. However, I do like the extra size on spawn plates,
       and your reasoning for it was perfect. This map is being
       considered, will get back to you after a while on whether we
       will use it or not. Thanks!
       (also, sorry that it's taking a long time for response on some
       of these. busy as a bee lately)
