Yeah,I hate creating fields and seting the frames and all that,you get it.
This looks an awful lot like my map (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=7714.0). I'm fine with people using my ideas, but plz, just ask first. Either send me a PM, or my email is available under my profile. :P

Actually, I don't believe knucklecracker has any official copyrights to any maps publisher. Though the map Authors technically have copyrights to their own maps. Copyrights can be transferred with permission, but in this case, Olson didn't ask for permission. If I had to guess though, i'd say Olson's just a little kid and doesn't know any better. (UpperKEES is the one who shared the copyrights facts... Somewhere. :P) besides, this map is far enough off from the original that all we can do is be mad about it. It's like a generic product. You know it's a knockoff of something, but you can't do anything about it.
EDIT: I'm not too upset. After all, mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. :P

You posted the original supercollider; it isn't yours anymore. That said, the best course of action is simply to leave the map here. Take it as a compliment. Someone liked your map enough that they wanted to, and indeed, did make a fan sequel.
Meh, like I said, mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. :P
