I agree that Duck and DukeNukem are qualitatively more silly than Hooked.

I think that it is fairly common opinion that Quicksilver/Mercurial, Banana Republic, and The Hole are not silly despite their acid/lava/void water mechanics. Certainly I would expect a game on any of those maps to play out in a far more "standard" manner than Hooked. So modified game mechanics (up to a point) are not inherently silly.

I aspire to make a map with Hotstepper-style tidal lava mechanics that is not silly.

I
think
that
there
is
a
not-totally-unreasonable
definition
of
"maps
that
should
be
tagged
as
silly"
that
does
not
include
Hooked.
I
just
don't
prefer
that
definition.
I
am
biased
by
an
incident
a
few
months
(
?)
back
in
which
somebody
was
manipulating
their
rating
by
playing
a
bunch
of
games
back-to-back
on
Hooked
against
a
much
lower-rated
opponent.

Even

the

were
a

closer
to
a
coin
flip
than
if
the
two
of
them
played
on
a
"standard"
map.
