Might I suggest that you include a bit more detail about your scenario? What's it about? What makes it different from other scenarios?
Maybe a screenshot wouldn't hurt either. If you don't put any effort into describing your scenario then people will assume there wasn't much effort put into the scenario itself. Then people won't download it.
I don't mean to be harsh with that, I'm just trying to help you get more downloads :).

I am sorry, but this scenario was boring to say the least. Don't worry everyone starts at this level, even if they are not willing to admit it.
Heres some advice on how to make scenarios:
1. Use triggers:
Triggers make up most of the scenario, without them your scenario is doomed to fail. They don't take an eternity to learn so, go for it.
2. Eyecandy:
Make up quites a large part of the story you are trying to tell, there are guides out there to help you hone this skill, I will even post some links to help you out.
3. Story:
Pretty much makes up the final part of the scenario it glues it together. If it is a good story the glue holds longer. If it is a bad story...you catch my drift. Unfortunately, your story was common, and overused. Although I admit, that is what my first scenario was based on. There are no guides on story that I am aware of, but stories are only limited by the imagination of the creator and player.
4. Watch and learn!:
Download other people scenarios, particularly people like Oscar, or The Vandhaal. There are a few other names worth mentioning like Archeopatrix(Spelt right?)
5. Presentation:
When you put the file up for download make it look pretty, don't say " download and rate. because it is fun!!!1!". Over exagerate if you must, the more downloads the better right :p.
Thats it I believe. Good luck in your next scenarios! Oh, and don't forget to visit the forums, we don't bite...much... Don't be afraid to ask for help.
