FFA stands for Free For All. It is an area where most of the maps on the server are. Currently, the theme is an airship flying above a lava-filled area, facing a ban hammer. All the maps are located in the sections below the main deck.

Additional Features
Below are additional features of the FFA airship that don't fit into the Areas category.
Map of The Week
Map of The Week is a small board on the middle-right side of the airship deck where a random map is featured every week.
New Maps
The New Maps board is located on farther right side of the airship's deck. It features the latest maps added that have passed through review and have made it into FFA.
Challenge Boards
The Challenge Board is located on the right side of the airship's deck. It features information on the Daily Challenges as well as a sign to join them.
FFA+
FFA+ is another area with maps meant to give spotlight to maps which are of exceptional quality and as such should be given better treatment than other maps in FFA. The maps in FFA+ maps are voted for every so often by Greens+ in ballots.
Ballots
FFA+ ballots are hosted every so often, usually by a server Admin. The ballot consists of two phases: nomination and voting.
During the nomination phase, ballot participants suggest a maximum of 5 maps to be entered into FFA+. Any map can be nominated, but a participant cannot nominate their own map, or a map that they've worked on significantly. Exceptions may be made for Community Maps as they are usually made by over 5 people at a time. Other participants may agree with the nominations, but not disagree as that's reserved for voting. Maps that have at least 2 nominations go onto the next phase, which is voting.
During voting, participants vote either Yes, Neutral or No for whether a maps nominated should enter the FFA+ area. Participants cannot vote Yes or No on their own maps and are instead encouraged to vote Neutral. Maps that receive over a certain percentage of positive votes (usually around 60%-80%) will exist FFA and enter the FFA+ area.
