But Arab (theme used mainly in the maps in jam 2) isn't Persian. Saying that would be like saying English are the same as Italians. :P

Nah, a bit of trolling from my part aside, truth is that no one can win that one, ... if someone would ever want to ... : an architectural style in a given time is the mix of several styles taken from all the cultures a culture had contact with over centuries, and isn't either something concrete that applies to most buildings built in the same area at the same time by the same culture. Even on religious buildings, where the architect knows that his neck will be hanging out in the gallows if he isn't close enough to it, that didn't usually happened.


make it like a particular style of architecture
Errr ... Kinn ..., you are defining jams 1 and 2 to a big extent, jam4 to a lesser extent (is about gravity too), and ''retro''jams (Zerstorer is more about ambient than architectural style, in my opinion). But i'm not talking in this case about defining them for their rules, but the maps submitted themselves, the rules didn't enforced the style that was on the maps.

An exception to that ... maybe sm175, but that's probably because was half speedmap pack.


Autoquote: not for their their rules, but the maps submitted
Now that i think about it, its something that happens a lot, like what some teachers i had in college said: show the students an example of what they can do for the subject's work, and at the next class they'll bring works cloned from it.
He was right, that happened with most of them in every generation, and the rest were clones of previous generations' works, which is the same.

Because of that issue, this thing i said before (Autoquote:Third, even if the theme were the same if it is interesting enough, why not repeat it?) is a very bad idea. 

Is http://jessevandijkart.com/ the same as the Jess Van Dijk who made https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/rdefull.html ?
