He did nice picks. Of course personal taste was a big factor in it, but he did not chose any ugly newbie map, he just seems to like different maps than some of you. I actually like most of his choices, many non-standard maps.
14 maps and 5 authors... I think he saw a map he liked and then clicked on the authors name and picked more from that author. I'm sure he missed a lot of good maps because of this.
thats why we should suggest names to whoever is sorting out the maps. Promote some new names and maps. people who have the authority should make it a 'priority' (for a lack of words) to do this. Cause those maps are great non standard maps but it seems all too much of a personal taste which picked those maps.
