The problem is that I agree in most what you said and thank you for the compliments. Calling you out here is maybe not the nicest thing, I apologize for that as well, but your infatuation with "my maps" is frustrating in light of nothing coming back.

Quote from: Martin Gronsdal on July 21, 2023, 02:20:53 PMI agree to that, but I won't make maps for same person to plow through every time. Especially since said person never makes even one map himself.

Ironically, I had come upstairs with the intent to look at this map and just make a little note about how I appreciate the maps you make. I had just been thinking about how little appreciation you probably get. I'm dismayed by how correct I was.

I'm rarely able to finish your maps or figure them out unless I ask for help or Wease has posted about them, but I really appreciate your cleverness. I don't have the right kind of mind or the patience for mapmaking myself, but I admire people like yourself who have the ability and willingness. This isn't an attempt to persuade you to change your mind, I think you have every right to decide how to spend your time and your reasons make sense. But I do appreciate what you've done.


Many, many thanks!

I am assuming that "nothing coming back" means "not making maps in return" (correct me if I am wrong)

Again, I think your expectation that people who play your maps should also produce maps is not valid.

I'm sorry you feel that way; and that it is frustrating for you. I can only reiterate that your maps are appreciated.

I feel pretty similarly about you! I'm able to finish your maps more often than I can MG's, but they're still tough and I think you probably don't get as much appreciation.

Thanks. but I don't really need that recognition. I make the maps primarily for myself.
Of course, kind words are always appreciated.
man... i'm married... every nice word counts
