Hello everyone. Since I can't get many people on battle.net to play and appreciate this map, I guess I'll you guys my map.
Island Taxis 1.4:
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=5389
Basically, it's all as said in the description, but let me warn you guys about this map; it's hard, very hard on your first try. This game will take several tries to get a feel for. But then this is why I can't get public newbies to play this because they think it's too hard.
EDIT: I changed it to 1.4, it should be MUCH MUCH easier than the last versions, so give it a try. I apologize for making so many versions

Very nice, it makes me a little sad. I'm probably not gonna win the contest now.
Anyway, I rate it an 7/10. I just found it way to hard. It took five minutes for me to actually get the game. Even after I figured out how to play, I still couldn't pull off the task. Customers always wanted to go to the farthest place possible(usually).
Other than that, it is a fun little game. I like it.
I also found a glitch where the units stop at teh bottom of the map. I took a screen but it won't let me upload .PCX files so I'm not gonna bother to reopen it and resave it.

DId you play 1.41? Because versions 1.3 and below are too hard.
1.41 also fixes that glitch

Yah, I unless there is a different 1.41 than the one in your original post. Maybe a better name would attract more pubbies...

It's really hard.
Maybe I just suck at dodging things but I can barley make it to any other island. But at least it looks really cool.

Hmmm I thought it was really easy. It could also be partly because I already got use to playing the previous harder versions.
A couple people that played my earlier versions said this game was too hard. But when I showed them this version, 1.41, they're like Omfg this is so much better and easier. One game I even transported 10 people, whereas the public newbies would only get around 2-3 people. It just really takes patience and you just gotta start off slowly. Then once you get the hang of it, it'll be a breeze.
So yea now I hope MiniMoose2707 likes it

Didn't like this very much. The hardness was okay, but it just got so repetitive I left after 3 minutes into the game. Overall it was "decent": 6/10
This is definitly your worst map, I'm a fan of all your other maps.

Was it the one with the vulture and flags where the vulture is the hot potato and the flags are players?

Wow.. can't believe you made hot potato.. was it like your first map ever or something? It completely blew. But this taxi game was pretty good. But I got pissed off at the difficulty, and nobody will really play this with you, and if you do get some people, they completely suck. Anyways good luck and let's see how it ranks XD

Hot potato was one of those maps I just made cuz I was bored. I knew it would suck and be boring, but for some reason, it spread. What a shame
But honestly, this game really cannot be that hard. There are plenty of periods where there's literally no traffic coming from either ways. What happens is ithat most people just make a blind straight run for it. What people should do is just go one row/column of traffic at a time. The key was to move slowly and not rush through. The problem is people nowadays only like easy dodging games where you just simply rush through without changing your overall velocity much. This game is almost exactly like frogger
Owell

Yeah but obviously people don't realize that...
Make this game public with a full house, watch what happens, you'll get a good laugh...

Let me show you a replay of me playing this game:
[attachmentid=19016]
Today was my off day; I did terribly, but I still got over 8 ppl transferred. I started sucking up around 4 minutes left into the game and left when there was one minute left.

I don't know about the previous versions, but 1.4 was pretty easy (but still hard enough). I got 3 people in a row to their destinations without dying at one point, and I successfully crossed over 3 intersections diagonally. Of course, I am also very good at classic frogger, because I made one in which everything was random instead of pre-made, making it much harder than the original.
I actually saw a couple science vessals stuck on the bottom, but they didn't affect gameplay at all, so I didn't think twice about them. Overall, I think it's an awesome map and that you did a good job on it

Here's a replay of me getting 16. I mess up the entire last minute, but it's still my best round.
Incase you don't want to watch that entire thing, I get 4 in the last 3 minutes of the taxis_14 rep.
What a fun game

How come I have never heard of these maps, maybe because they arent good, or are they just not popular. I am leaning mostly to the fact that they arent very good!

You mean MA's maps? Most you probably haven't heard of unless you've played Starcraft for a while. But most are very good.
