We map reviewers must never be affected by things like: "This is a map posted by my friend" or "This is a continuation of a series of cinematics of old days". I'm surprised that Shar gave it a full 5/5 and that he claims to have found no issues. Is it because it carries the title "The Bloodline" or because it really deserves 5/5 for you (honesty please!)? I, who never say the other episodes of Bloodline, gave it the lowest rating most probably because I don't consider this series special for me and it's just one of the many cinematics I review as a map reviewer.

Calm down Shar please, I had no intention to say I didn't like your review or that your review is wrong. I was simply "surprised" and asked a very simple question with totally no offense and you took it excessively badly. I never insinuated you're a liar or that your review was horrible. Although I didn't watch the rest of the parts, it doesn't mean I cannot judge how the cinematic develops, the terrain or how the characters feel to me. That's the job of a map reviewer.

Actually, it does. It's senseless to watch just one and expect to understand anything at all.

If you read my review carefully, I didn't talk about the story but about how I think the characters were, how the terrain looked and overall how the cinematic felt to me. A map reviewer should be able to do such things. I don't think I need to see the other episodes to judge these categories.

This is insinuating that I'm a noob reviewer then. Thinking that one cannot review a cinematic based on what he watched is just wrong in my opinion (always my damn opinion). How can you say that I cannot judge characters? I can deduce very clearly how a character is in one full episode without the need of seeing other episodes. Seeing their reactions, how they talk and their deeds make it evident how the characters are (I even judged them positively). The only thing I cannot judge (and which I actually did NOT judge) is the story yet for the rest, it's possible. If you think it's impossible, it does NOT mean nobody is able to do so. You took it wrong Shar, if I wanted to say you're a liar, I would've clearly said "You're a liar". Asking for honesty doesn't necessarily mean I don't believe you or that you're lying.

I did not vote as I am not confident with melee map standards, it seems approvable to me, depending on the standards.

EDIT: Considering Imperator's comment after mine, it might not be approvable.
