Did you know that this title line has more capacity than twitter? When I become president I will only use the MX blog.

Your track is great. It has amazing jumps, the flow is incredible and as soon as you click the upload button, love for your creation will flood your trackpage in the the form of little golden cups. Guess what though, your track is a printer. Yes, that's supposed to say printer. Though it does everything right, it is still a soulless, overpriced and easily forgotten part of trackmania history. Like printers print, your track is a usual track. It wont put smiles on peoples faces; after the award, written almost compulsory because "there's nothing wrong with it", it will slowly dissipate in their minds and blend with hundreds of other tracks.

This is obviously something you'd like to avoid, your tracks are a gift to the world damn it! So next time you build a track, ask yourself: "What am i trying to achieve with this track? What feelings do I want to provoke?". I believe this will spark inspiration and make your tracks stand out more, find that extra flare your tracks have been missing all along. Trackmania is entertainment, treat it as such. You need to appeal to the child within, make them feel! Stand out, not with a new transition in an otherwise generic track, but with a whole new style to track-making! Use old transitions in new ways, rediscover the game! An old car wouldn't have the same character without its obvious flaws; perhaps your track could do with some flaws, as long as you meant well to begin with. Dare to do the unexpected!




As usual, this is written while I have more pressing things to do; perhaps that's the best time to do things? Like you always explore a video game to it's fullest right before the final boss :d Tags still dont work for me, don't know what the problem is but I'm thinking it's on my end somehow...

I still think MX should be one-user based, you upload a track and award it yourself, as much as you think it deserves.

This is exactly what people need to do with their trackmaking ;)

unique tracks are really rare here.
So I'd like to see more tracks, that are different. Doesn't mean popular, but different, new style. Just what you described. I especially like the word "provoke" as a provoking track is not opting for many Awards (y)

Inspirational and useful words of advice.
Now not a big fan of calling it: "that extra" (tho i get your point) The term covers an individual taste - what you see as something "extra" i might find annoying

I could use a healthy dose of this thinking the next time I enter the editor. Thanks Tuta!
