That way if you get one you will be excited.
which we dont know...or im the only one left in the dark
*looks around quickly*

Actually, as far as I know, it will be a matter of *if* you are notified, not when. These guys rock, and would probably respond to each and everyone one of you during normal conditions, but they're a tad busy lately, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a response. If your level is picked, you'll certainly know about it. Until then, just assume it didn't. For the sake of sanity on both sides.

Well, some of the maps that have been chosen to be playtested still have not been playtested. There are at least 2 maps still to be tested (though both map authors are already playtesters, sorry), and there may possibly be more to come (though not definitely).
I think that, more than anything, you need to look at this is a different way. The standard for NS maps has been set really, really high. Much higher than any other mod I've ever seen before. As a result, just about all of the maps that are being playtested and have been chosen to be playtested have been in the works for many months. NS is also a very difficult mod to map for because of the numerous layout considerations that need to be taken into account. I know that it's hard for someone to try and make a map layout without playing the game, and I agree. But it isn't impossible. Relic and Merkabe both succeeded in making magnificent layouts without ever having played the game themselves.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is it takes a certain something to be an official NS map. I'm sure you're all good mappers, and I'm sure you could make great maps for NS (and anyu other mod for that matter). But even in the Olympics, not everyone gets a medal.
