Description NOTE: play this stage in Ned.

Now, most of you are probably thinking of something that I shouldn't type here, so please (f you are one of the people who looks at the name of this map and starts laughing) be more mature (or go play something from Captain B.). For those of you who didn't just go on to the next map on the page, I have named this stage for a strange phenomenon that is commonly observed with trampoline teleporters (if you don't know what these are, you're in the wrong place). Friction; (okay, stop giggling. seriously.) it appears as a giant wave of gray color. I was interested in how this dust is created, so I came up with a litle experiment: a single gap in the middle, with two trampolines on either side. I then proceeded to try out different levels for the trampolines. The level I provide here is set to the best level for generating friction without killing the ninja. After I found the right power, I asked myself, how do different tiles affect friction? That is the question this entire map is based off. First, now tiles at all (besides "e") will generate a constant amount of friction,until the ninja hits the bottom trampolines. Then, I put a botom 5 tile below the ninja, and I could generate friction without the ninja ever stopping. Finally, I started changing up the other tiles around the ninja. I have supplied the coolest variations I discovered with the generator on the bottom (simply copy and paste them into the generator to use them.

This experiment means a lot to me (why else would I type all of this?), in fact, it's the best experiment I've ever conducted. I encourage you all to experiment with ths stage, too, and tell anyone else who might be interested. Post any tiles that worked well so that other people can try them out, too, and talk about what they did, and how they compare with other tile patterns.

how do you teleport?
cause i think that was the main problem XD I love seeing comments like these.

I, for one, am going to play all of your maps from now on because you've handled this high-pressure situation well, and with good grammar.

Oh, and, might I say, thank God mods can't check IPs. ;)

I am sorry.

I should not have argued with karmapOlice. I thought your map was very cool. Especially how you gave tiles that made all different types of dust, and how you still survived them. I hope you don't stop making maps because I think they are great!

Wow.

I don't know what to say about this map.

Originally, it was just me dabbling around with dirt, and trying new ideas...

Now, I've been accused of rating my own map. I've been accused of rippind the idea off of previous maps. I've been scolded and reminded countless times of people who "already did this, and it was soooo much better". People have gotten into arguments about their opinion on the stage; things have gone so far that I've gotten Fives and Zeros for ratings all because of some stupid experiment.

There are currently 40 comments and 33 ratings, all of which are either "Awesome!" or "This sucks".

...and you know what? Only ONE PERSON has contributed to the experiment! This is an experiment! The point is to try and come to one or more conclusions about some aspect of N. I DON'T CARE IF SOMEONE HAS DONE THE STAGE BEFORE!!! MY GOD PEOPLE! IF IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE, THEN PLEASE JUST PROVIDE A LINK SO THAT I CAN SEE WHAT CONCLUSION THEY CAME TO!

Don't go on about how many times it's been done before, because GUESS WHAT? People have ALREADY DONE THAT (if you look through the chats, you'll find that I've been told "It's already been done before" about four times!) You know, I only ever go on NUMA about five times a month, so how is it justifiable to badger me for ripping off someone else's idea. Even if I had taken this from another map, what would be the point of doing it again?

Anyway, this comment has gone on long enough, and I'd just like to point out a few more things:

- This is the reason NUMA is so crazy. It's just a ton of people who only care about how well they do. N is a game. It's supposed to be FUN. And this map is a perfect illustration of something that goes from fun to arguing. I've had quite enough of NUMA. I enjoy N, but having people argue over how good a map is makes me nuts! I don't care if someone rates this map a Zero as long as they have good advice or suggestions to make it better.

- In the end, only one person actually had a suggestion for tiles.


Yeah, thanks everyone! I really learned a lot about N! All of your wonderful contributions will be treasured forever, and applied further in my stages.

WTF

Well

i was just messing around with this and i made this.

AHA

That's actually quite funny.
Demo Data

Too bad

that all this has given you negative publicity and has brought the attention of your map.
(this) has been done many times before, in several differant fashions, but still the same base concept. Even I have done one! NR, sorry :/

What? I thought this was something interesting and original.
My bad.

yea

great there are 2 teleporters...ähh im sorry for this question but whats so special??and if there is a special i nether recognized it nor had fun >.<
and none of the christs have maps...
thank goodness for NUMA and its pointless arguments.
Nothing special. I didnt like it

Consider this

a public cry as to why moderators should be able to check IP's.

THXBYE
Interested in other tiles!

s'alright!

...but now my map rating graph is really weird...

=$
I really do like the map, though.

And karmapolice... You jumped to conclusions, started name-calling, and then became very defensive of your "opinion." You need to calm yourself.

rawr.

Fine. I have to agree wih you there karma...

Everyone should have their own opinion. However, you must expect that people will dissagree with you (then get mad and call you an idiot). If everyone here suddenly got mad and called the other person an idiot, then the multiple opinions only become more skewed, and the issue never gets resolved.

Now then, please accept my apology, I'm kind of prone to anger (don't get me wrong, I've been known to be over-complimentary, too). Also, note that this stage was ade to experiment with ways to get different KINDS of dust, not just DUST (okay, it's a little weird), so just try and see where the other person is coming from, and accept that they have a right to their own opinion, too.

We are who we make ourselves.

@karmapOlice

I saw that you made a demo. The really cool thing about this map is its many variations. There are 10 others besides the first one. The ones on the bottom are much cooler. Also, it is fun to mess around with, and try to make your own tile in the middle.

wow..

sweet, don't care what anyone else thinks. 5/5

adam, I don't mean to insult you, but the whole situation is really fishy

Entropy, trust me, you are the idiot. If you're going to babble on about others being idiots and not playing the map, well I have a demo posted, so clearly you have some problem. and just because you find the stupid grey cloud amazing (which was used in 'modern dda' by riobe I believe MUCH better) doesn't mean everyone's going to 5aving this, so breath a little, I have the right to my own opinion

HEY!

I would NEVER rate my own map! I don't know how hey got there, except that suddenly my map had ten 5's! Chances are it's the multiaccounter who commented on it some.

Anyway, even saying that someone is rating thir own maps is insulting. You make me wish I had set this map to rateable! If you still don't believe me, here's proof: go back a page from hot maps, you'll se another map of mine that someone rated a two (hint: t wasn't me).
and his is much, much cooler http://www.nmaps.net/61923 [nmaps.net]
This is a genius idea, and you probably did not even play it. The whole map is to cause the massive gray clouds. Use the tiles on the bottom for even cooler things. Like continuous streams of the gray cloud.

this map is really pointless, if there was an exit switch where I die in my demo, it would be genius.

Nobody rates a random map (especially one this bad) that many fives, which mean they're all yours, so grow up a little, ratings mean nothing

Hmmm...

Well...not so much piqued as interested...

O_o

What happens tomorrow afternoon?

Curiosity is piqued!

Oh,

You don't even know...

... just thought I should let you all know.

Im faving this so i can figure out what all the hype is about tomorrow afternoon.

Huh.

"The lord hath many forms," it would seem

O

Oi!

You's be holy?

It's Christ
