Hi all from lxr. Some time ago we announced new Spring mapping contest. Unfortunately we have not received any map for this contest, so we are prolonging it for 2 months. Besides, we want to change some conditions:

• Currently we have no abilities to pay to the foreign countries, so we will be able to pay only for Russia or maybe to countries where payment system MIR can be used.
• Map can be in neutral design or in spring/summer desing.

As for our game servers, it's located in Russia, so players from foreign countries may have problems with connection and ping. If you have any problems, please give us a feedback we will think about fixing it and maybe we will open additional servers in other countries.

Hi, it's Kpoluk. During the last week some maps from XJ and Cosy releases were added to the site and servers.
Thanks to bORN2MAKEPORN and MEDVDED_EBUN who helped with checking.

Also new community map cray_projector by CrayFish was released. Difficulty is eays-average, outdoor bhop sections end with inner climb stage. Pay attention to the way that mapper used to place a few blocks into the air, they have rotating propellers under them, and they fit technological environment quite well. Checking process was performed by mls and edZika.

By the way, mls also has new community map mls_volcanobhop, which is actually a remake of famous bkz_volcanobhop. Now rocks look more like real ones, and magma began to feel much more realistic. Note that the landscape has changed compared to the original, so the route might be slightly different.

Hi, it's Kpoluk. Long time no see, some of you mentioned I've helped with plugins on recent tournament, and now it's time to clear servers from cheaters who overused server's gentle ban system during last 4 months. These players are permanently banned and their records were removed:

venOm
Acc1
d1fficult
Ghack aka inspare
neurohack aka inspare
aster
dzerika
maxbet aka dzerika
zxcv aka dzerika

Also here's the list of players who are one step away from the same fate:

hell0^ - also has ban on his main account
gn
Player
ertwetve
quantum_immortality

Later ban politics will get harsher, stay tuned. I'll step by again later, see ya!

New Mapping Contest

In the spring we would like to start new tournament on hard/extreme maps and we will be verry happy if there will be some fresh maps from our community, so we want to start new Spring Extreme Mapping Contest. For this time we need extreme maps with spring theme, good atmosphere and design. For each map which will be released during this contest i will pay 1500 RUB. Our next cup will be in April, so Mappers have about 2 month to finish their maps and upload it to our site. So our mapchecking team will be able to check all maps and give a response about bugs and sc's. I think that deadline for the contest is 20 March. We hope to see your maps in our next cup!

GL!
