Status: Denied

Reasons:

- the jumps : A bunny hop map, unfortunately, with repetitive block jumps, similar and far too simple (just one square block) and you get some sort of deja-vu feeling, like you've seen it before. They look like the ones from tropicbhop’s first stages, but this time with a texture change and with a longer route.
The jumps are on a single plan, there are also some parts of KZ but nothing very special.
The challenge proved ultimately too repetitive and without any surprise and we meet again with jump blocks that have already been seen.

- the textures : They are seen before and it's definitely not something new or fresh. Most importantly, the ambient light of the map is set incorrectly, therefore the light is to bright.
They also don’t get along with the map, so the result ruined the tuscan atmosphere.

- the architecture : The vertical walls and that narrow space between them it’s an absolutely “no go” for a bhop map nowadays.
As for the village parts, we don’t think that they look like a tuscan village. You aimed high when you came up with the idea of having a tuscan village. But, it needs a lot more work to get it look like one. Some balconies don't even have a door or windows or something (these thing matters when it comes to details).
Also, when we see a map with textures not aligned we wonder if the mapper has not taken enough time to explore its different location in the map to see some potential problems.

- the environment : Technically, when you say tuscan you think at an unique village like http://imagecache5.art.com/p/LRG/27/2750/353TD00Z/walter-bibikow-tuscan-staircase-italy.jpg or http://hdrgolf.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/tuscan_village.jpg , so what he have in the map it’s not really tuscan style. We know that it’s a hard project, but it is worth spending your time on it if you want to create something beautiful.
Also, as we said, there are some big problems with the light. It's totally fullbright, no shadows, no colors or anything which makes it pleasant to look at your screen when playing this map.
A tuscan village needs an eye candy environment. Something fresh and innovative. That’s what we would like to see.

- bugs : just focus when the other problems of the map.

Suggestions:

-take your time and review every part of the map, in order to create a beautiful tuscan village for the community.
