If you have no interest in PvP and are voting for looks, I'd like you to consider something. This is not a traditional build competition where its all about the visuals. The map makers in this competition are crafting an experience for players who enjoy PvP to fight in. The appearance of the arenas are simply for flavor. Map flow, hazards, spawn locations, and cover are more important since it impacts the moment to moment decisions during PvP. I believe Stonerock to be the best PvP map on Simplex and it sure isn't a looker - its an entirely grey map but I still love it for the ring shaped arrangement of the rocky spikes with a gentle slope towards the center forming a crater. Its the layout, not the looks, that makes that map great.
In the video linked below I did a test tour of my map Desolation. Its quality isn't something I'm happy about but its what I get for wanting to create it in a pinch. I did get good feedback from these two players from observation alone. Where they fought and fled to had them explore the entire map - there was no dead space.
If this competition was created to increase the quality of the map pool at /warp pvp there should be a stronger relationship between map makers and fighters. Perhaps a future competition of this sort should have the fighters as the voters since they are most affected by what gets voted on.
