Hi. There is a post saying "guess the next staff member" so why not a "guess the next mapdev" post?
Note: Para told me to make this
My List: Polar_Express/Merlinmaster/Zedther/Trexdomobutter
Don't vote for yourself!
Taken from Next Staff thread: I want to start by saying that this should be kept serious and mature. I would like this thread to be somewhere where the community can give their input on who they feel would do well in a Mapdev position. Just give your recommendations, don't bash on other people. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Seeing as their was a thread similar to this before Avicore was released, the presence of one shouldn't be a problem, assuming that everyone behaves like they should. So please do. So, who do you think will be the next Mapdev?
A few guidelines: Please do not suggest yourself Please do not say rude or antagonistic things about others' posts: if you disagree with something, be mature and keep it to yourself Please support your recommendations. A few words will do.
Alright, let's get serious here. I'm gonna give my honest opinion now! Also, keep in mind this is merely my opinion, yet nothing official or confirmed. The following people I am about to mention are not organized in a specific order at all.
-- Polar_Express He's one of the two Walls adepts I've got to meet until now (the first one being itaity). While his personality may be stubborn at times, he'd handle the rank quite well and I can smell good results coming from him, because there are already some fantastic Walls maps from him that have unique qualities and amazing features, every single one of them. All of his maps offer different gameplay styles that innovate and add more variety to Walls.
-- Merlinmaster He has a really organized and impeccable building style, he's been making maps every so often and has shown to possess true Map Developing potential. His attitude is something he should work on a tiny bit but I can tell this could be an opportunity for him to change as a person for the best. He'd be a good choice as he brings up unique concepts in Map Making, and he's been bringing up pretty neat gamemode ideas lately as well.
-- Slicorn He's been improved since last time he made a map. I can appreciate the sharpening of his building abilities in both aesthetical side and gameplay side. He offers a nice attitude but has also his downsides, anyhow, he'd be pretty efficient and hard-working, since that's one of his brightest qualities. He's a pretty good choice and he's been working good with maps lately. You can easily work with him when it comes to map making and he'd ensure you a fun time, trust me.
-- Zedther Lately he's been showing off what he didn't in the past: Map Developing potential. I was truly impressed when Para first mentioned him, but now I can understand why, as he is actually a pretty good builder and he knows how to take feedback properly. He seeks ways to improve, as well, and his easy going attitude is pretty helpful as well. He's very active and his time zone is rather... interesting. I'm pretty sude he'd be a nice addition to the Map Developing team, so I also vote for him.
-- sweeeper This guy works by the shadows. His building style is flawless and he is full of ideas and new map styles. His ability is truly impressive and he takes his time on making maps to make sure the finishing touch is worth it. His attitude is pretty friendly and he is capable of understanding what the word teamwork means on all its forms. He has been working a lot lately and I have seen it with my own eyes. He'd be a great addition to the team.
-- SweetMango This guy is an exceptional builder. He knows what he's doing when he builds, and even though his map count is the smallest out of everyone, building Dredmor is enough for him to be considered for the position. He's very trustworthy, his attitude is pretty cool, he's very mature, capable of working efficiently, active, his time zone helps him, too, and he's already a Moderator, he pretty much knows what teamwork is and how to communicate around other Staff Members. I swear, I will never forget how fun it was to build Dredmor with Mango and Koo. Mango's boss.
Chill and Cool guys I also like: -- Zintenka -- resepignev
Thanks for all the nice comments - you are correct I can be stubborn - but I have chilled out some :)
I think anyone that has put a map into rotation should be considered and I don't know all of them, but whoever gets the next spot will be great. I vote for Murph_The_Cat as she is really nice.
Merlinmaster -He is a hard working person who has contributed a lot to Avicus. He has made many maps, both good in game-play and aesthetics. He knows what he's doing, and has a high potential to become a mapdev. He also have a nice attitude and frequently helps others whenever he can. Do what you're doing right now, because it's absolutely fantastic. AwarriorVenom - Yes, he was a previous mapdev, and yes he did make some mistakes. But this person... has made a HUGE amount of contributions to Avicus. Forget the past, and listen to the future. What's he's doing is outstanding, making maps that are both good in game-play and fantastic aesthetics. He is hard working, nice, and offers to assist others! Awesome work, and I hope to see you as a mapdev as you have lots of potential for it. Zedther- This person has improved a lot, from not making maps at all, to making tons of maps in a very short amount of time. He has offered a lot to Avicus to, and his determination is rising. He is very hard working, and continues to do so in the future aswell. He knows what he is doing, and is doing awesome at it. Both game-play and aesthetics factor on his works are incredible and deserve to be accepted. He has lots of potential as a future mapdev. Yes, I know that there are also many other people who deserve it to. But these are the people who I think just bold out to me. Good luck to everyone! :)

Does moar map devs mean more testing servers? js dat'd be kewl o and i support zedther and merlin and sweetmango and slicorn, nice guys, seem suited for it.
SweetMango. He is the nicest guy in the world. He hosts a server on his money for other people and himself, where we build maps mainly for Avicus Andrade fun. he is also very responsible, he knows to yml with no mistakes, builds awesome, 10/10 aesthetics and gameplay. He is the map developer you are looking for.
Sweeeper, he's a godly builder C: Trexdomobutter, He's fantastic at setting a certain theme and working with it Zintenka, Impressive terraforming skills resepignev, Travincal 1-3 <3 Mango, Great builder, organised
I will not give any names, I just want to say that as a map dev, your playing time is drastically reduced. You are always nervous and you always feel like you have something other to do then playing on Avicus.
I personally didn't enjoy the feeling.
If you are hardworking and you are extremely determined to help the community, then fine, you go girl. You are a great fit for the rank.
I wasn't anyways, the maps back then were awful and I didn't feel like accepting any of them. I got way better meanwhile aswell... The maps now, are just... no... I just can't look at them.
Im getting a bit off point here, but I wanted to say that im done making maps. There will not be a Sandstorm II. Anyone can go on the thread and use the map for anything.
I've gotten to a point where making bad maps hurt. I moved to creative building.. I took SpicyTunaRoll9's advice from a long time ago...
Since I have a bit of experience as a map dev, I can pretty much give my thoughts on who should be the next map dev with a bit more accuracy.
I feel like this person should be, Polar_Express.
Although his map making skills do not impress me (BASICALLY THE REASON WHY I WAS CHOOSEN AS A MAP DEV EVEN THOUGH, ACCORDING TO ME, I WASN'T A GOOD FIT.), this person would be great fit for the rank because I sense he is not going to quit Avicus anytime soon. He has also mastered the YAML of the Walls, which is basically the hardest YAML to completely understand. His Walls maps also have a great shape and size for a Network such as the Avicus Network. They also all have something unique gameplay wise.
Im not trying to sound superior in any way. Just giving my opinion on the rank and on who should receive it next.
Also for the record, heres what I mean with "better"....

sweeper: Sweeper has performed phenomenal work in map constructing and other map developer relevant things. His creative idea's are outside of the box amazing. For example is really neat monument design, where a beacon would switch off when a monument is broken, is absolutely awesome! His maps are have a really cool and unique look to them and the gameplay is just as good. He is really friendly to all minecraft and Avicus users and has proven that he is very mature.
Slicorn: Slicorn's building skills have improved a lot recently. He is a very friendly, quite funny and enjoyable person. I have worked side by side with him in map making and I have to stay its awesome working with him. All of his maps are excellent and he had demonstrated to me that he is very excellent at YAMLing.
Zedther: Zedther is a map making machine! He is quite quick with making good quality maps and then producing a YAML to go along with it. He, as well, is quite friendly to Avicus users and is well liked by the community.
Thanks for all the nice comments - you are correct I can be stubborn - but I have chilled out some :)

Polar, I agree 9.9/10 (no ones perfect). Murph should get a MapDev rank, her maps are pretty well made.
*NOTE* I mainly play the walls, I don't know of any other map creators other than: Polar_Express Murph_The_Cat Itality (how ever you spell that) Izjust4fun and clown something

Polar is a mapdev already itaity retired from the rank Izjust4fun and Crazy_Clowns don't really make maps any more :( If Murph knows YAML I guess
