I don't know... there's no middle tile colour and it doesn't really look like it's going down. It looks too much like it's just a cliff leading to another and then it suddenly drops. It's a little long too. However it is the second best ramp so far (not including mine since I can't compete). Try not to use high dirt on the ramp.
Wow. That is almost flawless other than the single tile which I noticed looked a bit out of place. Also, it is a bit thin looking, but may be the regular size in a game. Extremely nice job.
Something to think about stratical wise, blizzards ramps are wider at the bottem than they are at the top in Jungle. These are more like the twilight ramps, only much longer. Since people probably won't be happy with my final desicion I'll make a poll on Monday (people can't vote twice in those things right?). The person with the most votes will get the prize minerals.
Keep them coming guys,

Well, I tried it...
Making a ramp go up its harder than it seems.

I think yours is pretty good, yours is pretty cool too psycho.
Well I kinda modified it, I also made the top part a little steeper to give more impression of its going down. I also made it wider and a little shorter.
Much better, I'm still a little unsure about the NW part of it but it does look a lot more like a ramp than a bridge. Just make sure a probe can't get by one zealot at the ramp, but a zergling can. And a zergling can't get past 2 zealots on a ramp. I do mean a well placed Zealot, not just a randomly place Zealot so don't worry.
In the immortal words of a Zealot who forgot his line,
I hunger for ramps!

It looks like its going down more now.

It's a little blocky at the top... But I still think you've got the first place ribbon for this though.

Thnx, Im pretty sure that the size isnt that much of a proble, you can streatch or shrink it all you want untill its the right size.
Nothing that is pioneered will be perfect. It is the closest thing to it though if you ask me—good work Incinerate_IV.
What are the prizes for this contest?
Maybe you should read the first post jackass =D
I have read it thoroughly, maybe I missed it.
It was a simple question, seeking a simple answer. It's not required that you act like an ass—maybe you can comprehend that.

Okay, here's the deal. The prize will be all the minerals I have (I won't spend any and I'm almost positive my bet in the tourney will win). On sunday the 20th, the winner will be chosen.
It's the first thing I say. Unless you have something useful to add don't post here please. No, telling my contestants that 2nd is good enough doesn't help. That's not a winning attuitude.
More maps people, pot is up to 300 and counting,
PsychoTemplar
That ramp looks a bit long though. And otherwise its a good width and will probably win the contest.
Off topic: Fortune and Templar, you two are like an old married couple. Everywhere, I see you two arguing. It always starts off with templar saying something, then Fortune comes and says something that PyschoTemplar disagrees with, and you start arguing.
Try and ignore eachothers ignorance...
It's not really disagreeing with anything, it's him pointing out, or missing, the obvious.
Anyway, lets get some more ramps guys, only 2 more days, if I don't get anymore maps I'll be disapointed to say the least.
I hunger for ramps!
Pot up to 400,
PsychoTemplar
UPDATE: Pot to 500 with thanks to RexyRex =D
Just letting you all know today is the last day to get entries in, however I will be starting the poll on Monday afternoon and I will accept all entries before then to be fair to people with vastly diffrent time zones. I would very much appreciate more entries, don't hold back now.
Thanks in advance,
PsychoTemplar
Don't really think this one can compete with the others, but here it goes

It's not too bad, but it doesn't really look like its going down.
I can't see the picture

Try doing it again.
I can't see it either, please post it from your computer (as apposed to trying to link it from a website).
Okey
ADDITION:
Okey here it goes
Not bad, but it links to temple, not high dirt. Another unique blend however, nice job.
So when is this poll going to happen, because I have faint memories of the temple contest going away, with no poll.

Well it wasn't against the rules

Actually it is, I said the ramps need to be stratigically similar to blizzard's ramps and no one really delivered on that. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can't build on temple. None of you guys put more than ten minutes of effort on these ramps for a prize that turned out to be just under 800 minerals. I wouldn't call it a unique blend, anyone can pick out a tile and put it everywhere, it's the placement and the functionality that was important to me... but whatever, contests over, nothing I can really do about it.
