Shad is definately the Mad MAN of hard map making, and he dedication to testing , retesting, and retesting is what makes our maps favorites all over the web. We have some others who do a terrific job also and contribute to the reputation HardMaps has for quality. It is also a pleasure to have quality people playing on our servers and communicating in our VT to provide the teamwork that makes everything click.

sorry again for my broken english, but my vocabular is very small (blame it to my teacher)
i hav'nt forgot, that there are many people who make good maps, but i can only name them, who includes me for testing some new bad-mad-nasty hard maps thats shad, michaben and sweet anne it doesnt matter who especially made the maps, only if its good, playable, hard (with some surprises) and last but not least funny via VT! thats the 3 important reasons for me to stay on your servers!
Yes, map tests are fun. But when testing shadowman his maps you have to be careful. If you don't die enough times, he will rework the map and add more miniguns/50cals/turrets to it. Or like yesterday, I survived one of his deathtraps (it just killed Proteus and Trevor and not me for some reason) and could walk all around the map freely without being annoyed by any of his nasty placed bgs. So I'm pretty sure he is reworking that trap right now so there is no more escaping from it next time.
So when in a map test with shadow, always act like you are having a hard time or he will make it even harder

i see it like this: every new map is like a maptest for me when i play it the first times, so its never be the same... some running forward without looking arround the corner and die and die and..... some going step by step... (so i like it to do like shad, stay behind and whatch them and help them when they are going down *chrchrchr*)
