My very first map, all kinds of criticism (including the rude ones, but only if you can't avoid) are welcome.

in the 1990 movie "Ghost", the main character proves his existance to a unbelieving Demi Moore in a very special way...

Fun, intriguing and unique, despite spending 30 minutes watching paint dry or should I say creeper evaporate too fast for my liking.

I get it, but how do you do that? It breaks all the rules of CW2. Why does that work?

Do what? If you mean creeper evaporating - it always does that, any  creeper density below 10 disappears instantly, probably to make sure the creeper doesn't spread too fast.

@lich98 Emitters around the nexus are set to start in 3600 seconds (1 hour) - same as its cycle in the game screen. They are there to give you a feeling that the nexus is dormant, and as a fail safe against an unwinnable map if you don't pay attention and just scrub the map.

@fitz the only guy I know that may have broken some rule in the game was the guy from the "secret [hex-edited] rain map"... #284 got approved by map mods anyway.

My 28 minute time was made in a very confortable pace. It can be done in 10 minutes as shown in the scores
