Pyncushion is a mini-game map that my friend Gaarn and I made. Off the bat, I am telling you that this map is NOT aesthetically pleasing. It is a rather complicated concept and requires a few honor rules. The best way to explain the map is through the screenshots. Anyway, the map is centralized around the needler as the name implies. It takes between 7-13 minutes to play each game.

PART 1 RULES and ABIILITIES
abilities
- shields - none - no recharge
- damage resistance - 10%
- speed - normal
rules
- shoot the other team, not your own

This is where the Blue Team spawns

and the red team

The middle of the map. This picture basically explains the game. The shield doors are floated about five walls high off of the ground. This allows the needles to bounce off the ground and on to the other side but it prevents straight shooting. You have no shields and 10% damage resistance so you die almost instantly after getting hit. The needlers lose there homing powers after they hit the ground so it is fair.

After 90 seconds, the mancannons/gravlifts spawn, pushing the team off to the side and up into the next room which is...

...this. This is where the first honor rule comes in to play, as you see there are two teleporters. The one without the custom power up has to have only 1 person go through it. There is a system to block other members but it does not always work. The rest of the players have to go through the teleporter with the custom powerup. This powerup will give you extra shields so you should probably wait before both rushing in at once.

After you go through the custom powerup teleporter, you'll move to one of the sides of the back hallway, these are to let your shields charge up.

The other teleporter will bring you here, the br box

PART 2 RULES and ABILITIES
abilities
- shields - 2x oversield - slow recharge rate
- damage resistance - 2000%
- speed - normal
Rules
- no shooting the guy in the BR box
- no camping the back rooms

Note: this part of the map was influenced by Cosmic Rick's Teamwerks arena

Because of the settings that that the custom powerup imposes, people are incredibly hard to kill, but once they lose their shields, the br guy can get a head shot for 3 points. Or you could kill him for one.

This is the arena

Target people one on one or focus on one person, do whatever you need to bring down the enemies shields.

Get that well placed headshot for the easy hill and the 3 points.

View of the side of the arena, the overshield gets picked up instantly after you come through the teleporter. This then allows the dumpster to fall, blocking the teleporter, sometimes the dumpster will disappear though.

So that's the map, post any questions or things you don't understand, Thanks!
