+1 :D

I'm basically focussing on the Hammer compos right now as I don't have the time or the genius to think of and realize good puzzle ideas on a bi-weekly basis

Congrats, srs! A well deserved victory :)

Interesting ... I'll probably not manage to come up with something within two days ;)

Played all submissions again. Here's my vote:

1. srs bsnss
2. nintendo.erk
3. p0rtalmaster

I think that my number 1 vote only needs a brief explanation. The style is impeccable Wheatley, the puzzles consist of few elements that are cleverly combined. What more can a player ask for? A hidden area you say? Got that, too! (Could've been a bit more going on in there though;)

The choice between the other two maps wasn't as hard for me as the choice in the last Hammer competition. While the basic puzzle idea of "Walking Onto Buttons" is good, it misguides the player into actions that are actually not required for the solution of the puzzle. Using antlines (that are supposed to help the player!) for misdirection is a total no-go for me and kind of ruined the puzzle experience for me. Thus, my choice for the number 2 spot had to be nintendo.erk. Even though the architecture in his map is not as opulent and not as Wheatley as in p0rtalmaster's map, his puzzle requires straight logic with a really nice flinging experience. It's easier to solve than p0rtalmaster's puzzle but that's not bad by definition. I had fun solving it.

Everyone can vote, even if they competed. I'm thinking about extending the voting deadline with 2 weeks due to the holidays. I'll discuss this with Stagger Lee. If he agrees the deadline will be expanded by one or two weeks.

That would be great. I'd really like to vote but just didn't have the time to play the maps yet.

Have been thhinking a lot about what I'd like to see in the next competition. Most ideas I had would probably discourage mappers because they're a little 'out there' so I'm going with the easy theme:

Create a Wheatley style map. Funnel is imperative. As is a Wheatley monitor! And the chamber should be big, the map can potentially contain more than just one puzzle.
