Gonna go with #3. It looks the most well-designed to me.
#3 it is. I like the seventh fifth overall, but I'm not keen on voting for it - not because I'm taking it too seriously, but because it can't be taken seriously.


 
I accidentally voted entry 1 and I wanted to vote 5 what do
shirt status: not on
If we are being technical, that's not a swastica in number 5, it's more so a manji (of course that doesn't stop the map being very forced). I don't really like the... figure, in the other submap of that entry (and doesn't it break the fact that this is a vanilla contest, or are custom tiles allowed in the overworld?)(It's not even appealing... :<)

Voting for three. I hope either that or number 7 will win (but it appears that number 5 will win anyway...)

I'm definitely voting for 5.

Voted for #3. I was between that one and #2, but the desert world was too simplistic and I don't like the stuff around the cave entrance.

By the way guys, remember that anything in the last two left and right columns for every submap and the top line in Yoshi's Island and Bowser's Valley won't show in-game.

I don't see what's so difficult about taking #7 seriously. It's just a normal overworld as far as I can tell.
Not sure about #5, it probably would be better if it wasn't for the naked girl and the swastika, but it's very decent otherwise.

I guess I'll pick #3, since I thought it is one of the most well designed overworlds so far for the VLDC compilation.

I should have something witty to put here (even if it's just to update dated info), shouldn't I?

I normally don't care about trying to be "PC", but I went with 7. 5 will make the site as a whole look bad, and we don't need (more of) that.

If 5 does win, maybe we should do something about the swastika, tits and ass, like take the submaps from another entry instead. I don't think people will appreciate having tits thrown in their faces, plus it isn't exactly kid-safe as well.

Please do this. Even if some of us may find the swastika funny, others won't. Also that "best" submap doesn't fit the "best" theme.
Oh man all of these are amazing, it's hard to chose.
1. The palette cutoff bugs me a lot, so no
2. It looks pretty great, the submap have really interesting design to them. Not a big fan of the giant mountain though.
3. A bunch of island. Pretty basic, but colorful and well designed.
4. Look nice, a bit bland though. I like how the two last overworld use the same formation.
5. Not that much of a fan of the washed out colors but still look nice, the cave overworld is superb. The worst level and best level maps are amazing (reminds me of my OW from the OW contest 2012) and because I tend to favor jokes over graphics I will vote for that one. But I'm not voting this only because of the two last OW, overall I think that the overworlds of #5 are the best designed ones.
6. The 2014 island is a nice sign, but overall it looks bland and flat.
7. Banal, not a lot of risk taken. But it looks nice.

No. Let it like that, it's funny. If you can't take a joke, too bad for you.

No. Just no. Try saying that to the victims of WW2, which I assure you, are many.

And because of that, I'm voting entry 7. I do not want VLDC7 to be represented by nudity and fascism.
If democracy says we want 5, then we'll get 5.
Anything else would mean the victims of WW2 would've died for nothing.


It'd be fascistic to censor our choice just because a vocal minority does not agree with it, I would even go so far as to call everyone approving of such things neo-Hitlers.

I... I can't agree with this mindset. I mean, we all know those jokes are offensive to a fair amount of people, so why to keep them? I wouldn't be complaining if this was a map for just another hack, but this is an official thing from SMWC; many people will play it and some will possibly make up their first views of this community from it.

But oh well, it will probably win anyway. It's not like I mind those jokes myself, I'm just worried about the community.

EDIT: ninja'd
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
Wasn't Panic In The Mushroom Kingdom removed in remoderation for things like this?
itt smwc is overrun with toddlers

in fact let's just make this site 18+ so we don't have to deal with kiddies anymore
Number 5. Nice colours. Has some interesting sub-maps. :)

Uh yeah, fifth. #tb{''} gah all those prime numbers.

Anyway, I'm against #5 not because of any offense to whomever, but for the same reason I'd be against a trollface or a pile of dog shit on the map. It just doesn't... feel in the right place?

whatever, opinions~ lets see who'll win.

While I agree that we shouldn't use it, and that "it's a joke, lighten up" doesn't justify everything...there's one thing you're wrong about, and so is everyone seeing "lolhitler" in the swastika:


That ain't the Nazi swastika.


I'm sure it was INTENDED to be. but with it not at an angle, it's not the Nazi swastika. Hitler stole it from religion, in fact. To make the situation with it on the map hilarious, that particular swastika, if pointing the opposite way...is a holy symbol in buddhism and a few other religions.



So, #5 is representing the unholy levels with a holy symbol.

Hahahahahahahaha.
