I normally look at thumbnails, then author.

I always look at these.

Well, I look at the ratings, but that's not an option, so....

http://nmaps.net/user/ · Postby **Raif** » 2010.08.20 (19:04)

I type ! or !<tag> on #n-highscores to get random maps.
(Well I am not really browsing NUMA but that's how I chose maps to play :P)

Thumbnail, then author.

Woo! Changing the options clears out all the results!

Oh, well in that case, don't do that.

I don't really browse NUMA, but when I do, I usually see if it has no votes and no worthwhile comments, and I rate them so they get something out of hot maps.

Screw the other maps, they've got their attention.

^Fixed.

For me, it's largely determined by thumbnails. Then I look at the author, then comments.

I look at the thumbnail, and then inspect the map in full. I rarely find myself looking at the comments beforehand because I've found that, when it comes to a map, the only really viable conclusion is my own.

I'm with Yahoozy on this one.

Thumbnails need to be more prominent I think, as I feel people are drawn to a thumbnail when browsing NUMA than they are drawn to certain authors/ratings/comments.

The thing I don't like about thumbnails is the fact that a mapper isn't able to view the thumbnail until they submit it. I know there are ways to do this, but the large majority of mappers don't. So I don't usually place a high priority on them.

Thumbnail and title.

Author makes me play automatically in a few instances.

Thumbnail and type.

right, but if your map is beautiful in fullview then I see no reason why it would look like shit as a thumbnail. :/

Type and thumbnail.
I love races. And if it's a well known mapper, i usually play it.

Usually... author or rating has to look interesting, then I'll open it. I decide whether to play it based on the comments.

http://nmaps.net/user/maxson924 · Postby **Rose** » 2010.08.26 (19:23)

Author is by far the most important thing to me. Also, if it's not an action, I'll almost never play it.

Ha, how many n-arts have I tricked you into playing then by not tagging it? I'd imagine quite a few.

What? It's pretty obvious by the thumbnail whether it's an n-art or not o_O

That. Although if I see a map that has a great rating I'll check it out to see what's up.
