Well, I'm leaving this site or at least a very long break until the people that have caused this **** off.
Ever since I came here I've tried to be a very friendly community member. Always courteous, always thankful. I often praised peoples work and gave out plenty rep to people who helped me. I even offered to make an official CG Podcast that Robbie gave the go ahead, but I decided to cancel it because I didn't feel like making a podcast showcasing other peoples work when around the same time people found it acceptable to derail my Udun thread.
So here comes some truth. I think each map I've made was better than the last, up until Ganithes. That's when things started to go downhill. Whatever, not every map can be better than the last, and hey, to be honest, it's still better than most of the maps on CG. Look at certain peoples 'work', all they do is copy paste images from google. Clichea started to get lots and lots of attention and ever since then people have acted differently to my threads. Jelously, perhaps. Then I made Udun, and people derailed the thread. Everyone then joined the lotr bandwagon so eager to outshine what I started they couldn't help themselves from posting about it in my actual thread. I leave the forum for a while and occasionally pop up asking a few questions here and there and receiving answers all of which I was grateful for. I leave the forum for 2 weeks and work on a map I'm really proud of and still I'm met with very little enthusiasm. I used to get more from lesser maps when I started out. For crying out loud one of my early maps has stamp mountains and it got a decent amount of feedback. Perhaps I should be posting maps that take very little effort as that seems to be what gets the most attention here. I don't know what it is you people are trying to prove by ignoring my stuff. I've done nothing to deserve this. So now I'm going to be blunt. The map of Thyandul is better than most things on the forum. It's better than Max's shire map...look at his hills compared to mine. Mine are so much more detailed. I commented on the shire map yet max only commented on my thyandul map so he could agree with tianotim, he wouldn't have posted otherwise. Va'dum deserved to be a CG's choice map but they won't put anything different up there or anything that has a bit of originality, it's all the same brown coloured maps over and over again. Oh and btw, Chick thinks that Max is arrogant and agrees with me that he thinks he's the best thing to happen to ever happen to maps. Well he's not, almost every map me makes looks the same as the others. Try doing something different. Oh and by the way Max, it's very clear to see how much you bump your threads. Let them die for gods sake. It's not the end of the world if one of your maps falls off the front page. Chick messaged me to say that he/she thinks Max tries to look like he's helping when infact he doesn't really say anything. Chick told me not to say because he/she has already been banned once. I find it laughable the amount of people that were giving me advice on commissions that shouldn't even be getting commissions in the first place. I'm looking at you, TimPaul, I wouldn't commission a map from you if it was free and I don't see why anyone would get a map from you, they already have acsess to MS Paint. Is this a joke? http://www.timpaulmaps.com/wp-conten...Dreamlands.jpg
