Well, I don’t know enough about mapping to take part in this competition, but I can honestly say that it’s driven me to learn more. Making a 1024³ map is definitely less intimidating than making a larger one.

The amount of detail an mood is accieved fast and easily with the lights why not to have them?
Well that wasn’t really my problem since I really really wanted lights in there. But I was thinking 'bout making the map with lights which are the key-elements for the map.
Thing is that players can lower the details of the map so that hiding in the shadows don’t make sense anymore.
But since having moving lights in the map seems a bit too hard (moving lights that project their light at realtime) I’m diverting to another idea.
Then 'bout the LMS thing … I’ve not played this gamemode yet so a simple question:
Is it the last team that stays alive that wins, or is it treated for each person individually?
Problem would be the positition of the spawnpoints if it’s treated individually. Any idea?
Thx for helping me out!

I am relasing deadline next tuesday
Is this when we need to be finished by or when we start?
A small map is the perfect place to work with lights, as the maps small you dont need to worry too much about complie time, and you can get away with working with detail lightmaps with out to much impact on file size (unless you want to bumpmap the whole thing, was thinking about doing this my self, although I may just limit myself to some nice lighting effects)
LMS, its the last team standing that wins.

The dynamic lights are bit tricky and moving lights even more. 
In the LMS you have only limited number of lifes (or was it so that you have only 1 life, I think it is in the server settings)
The team that looses when it’s last player dies. No you do not have do anything on your map if the map objective do not require any class specific actions example the buildable bridge etc. because if other team must build something they have disadvance. I think the lms must playable with any set of classes. like all medic team.
So like I have bridge in my map I must create other bridge that is visible only in LMS mode and make the construction materials disapear… This is accieved in mapname_ lms.script see http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=2533&highlight=lms+script
EDIT: omg. What typos. I ate too much candy so my brain parts are out of sync.

Good choice HairyPlums
I’ve made a start on 2, 1 of which I’ll probably drop since I can’t get the framerate I want 
The other one is nothing special, just my attempt to get a proper objective-based map into such a tiny space
