now, i don't want to be a spoilsport or a debbie downer, but isn't artificially extending the length of a track by adding a literally thrown in chunk of sound patently unrankable? The entire ending past 4:50 or so is artificially added on and seems to be just a simple soundbyte that isn't even timed or has a beat at all.
It's literally just to push the drain past 5 minutes and is pretty blatantly "I'll do this and try to push the map for approval instead of bothering with getting a full set". I'm all for skirting the rules for the sake of immersion and fun, but this is pretty obviously a "less effort" choice. I'm guilty of doing this in the far past, but emphasis is on guilty in this respect.
Other people who try to push a slightly-below-five-minute track could do something like repeating a small section here or there in a calmer section, where it's nearly unnoticeable if done well.
I'm rather astonished that this didn't come up a single time in the entire thread, I could have sworn I saw something about this map before. Hell, I've kept an eye on this map because I like it a lot but figured it would never be qualified due to the mp3 thing and just kept it as a nice track to check out now and then.
Neat as shit SB though.
