You could give a little bit more details :P . Unfortunately, I have no finished maps.

So by "Solo-Player," you mean single player campaigns, right?

Yeah, is it a Solo-player map because it is supposed to be for only 1-player? Or is it a solo-map maker map? If so, I'm going to love this :P

No i mean that the map must be created by yourself, it can be played by multiple people, i just can't get my head straight

A possible rubric could consist of these factors : [LIST] [*][b]Fun[/b] X/20 - How fun was you map? Will I ever play it again? Will it be a map night favorite? This will be a huge factor. [*][b]Aesthetics[/b] X/10 - Was I always distracted at every corner because of a spelling mistake or grammar mistake? Are there glitches everywhere or does your map play well? [*][b]Originality[/b] X/15 - Was your map truly a unique experience? Or was it just like any other Defense or RPG? [*][b]Extras[/b] X/5 - This means if you added anything miscellaneous, such as music and sound effects. This is completely optional. [/LIST] Which equals a possible best total of 50/50. Perhaps whoever has the highest score total wins? [quote=name:FooFighters]{Ðon't worry people i'm not like lil-Inferno, i will never do what he did with that money!}[/quote] I take offense from that.

If you're talking about single-player maps, doesn't that take away from the main reason why size is a negative? And wouldn't we want to encourage exploiting the fact that single-player maps [i]aren't[/i] downloaded through Battle.net to allow for things like better sound sets, more extensive music, etc., which increase the size? I mean, I can understand people with old computers minding something that gets into the hundred-megabyte range on their hard drive, but isn't the great thing about maps that you just download off the internet that you can let it go for half an hour in the background if need be?

I am currently working on a map. Hopefully improper terrain height does not bring down my aesthetic score.

I think Individual instead of Solo map ladder would clear up the ambiguity.

Basically what you intend to do is rate every map that someone submits and then rank members, not maps. Okay. So overall, is it based on how good their maps are or how many they submit? I'm just thinking about how some members (namely Oo.Vic.oO, for example) have a million maps they could submit.

You know, I really don't think this ladder is a very good idea, same with the Concept Maps one, but this is is worse by far, as there are many members who have already made many maps, and you have no rule saying that the map cannot be already made, meaning I could already submit 4 maps to this ladder. That just seems a bit wrong to me, since older mappers can completely own the ladder simply by submitting all their old maps. Unless you make a rule that it must not have been made before the ladder began, this is simply a contest of the oldest mappers, or whichever one decides to submit their maps. On top of all that, this Ladder is too general, most mappers work solo, so almost any map could be submitted to this. And it's not extremely well-made either, I really think this ladder = fail.

Well, it really depends on what your map is. Some maps don't take that much time to make, where as a classic RPG could take forever.
