Well, as I own a router for several weeks now, which in turn owns me by denying me the ability to create games in the battle.net, I have no possibility to test/play my own (or others) maps. (this is why I can never add ingame experience in map discussions)
So I thought about a new thread here, where people that are willing and want to play maps from this database, or just their own maps, can write down their battle.net-akas.
So we get a list and hopefully there'll be some more replays to be uploaded here. Of course it'd help to imrpove the maps because of more ingame judgements.
I'll start with my akas and maybe there'll be a few responses. Maybe we even can establish a little list of active BWMN-players in a subsection, like under articles or anything.

But I think about re-activating my old (already deleted) account named "flothefreak". So I can finally use it again, and it definetely gives more identification to my tributes to the page :)
On Europe B-Net server my account is Rus.i-Zerg, like on PGT. Want to play with you on these maps ^_^
It will be nice :) Usually hanging on broodwar-rus1 channel
Well, after the SCS site went down, everyone started to migrate away and eventually forgot about SCS, so most ofbthe PCKJers are back to their home channel.
Is anyone of you online most of the time anyway? (I know people who never shut down their PC^_^;)
Maybe getting a bot on europe who has a list of all b.net accounts of mappers and new-map-willing players might be a good idea to make games on user maps more common.
But after my experiences in the last days, you really need to pay more attention to making your maps _playable_ and not only pretty jpgs. I've seen so many bugged observers versions, expansions where you can't build CC, horrible pathing, wallin trouble where it was not intended, players that are not "user-selectable" (race) etc, esp. when I try to play with non-mapmakers, next time they want to play LT again...
Well solar dissaray obs version was just major homosexual. But to blame pathing on storm is kinda low since exactly no-one else ever complained about it and it is 100% more entertaining than playing lt.
PGtour: InfectedMind
Headoff: LGI (Bulgarian server)
U.S. East: bf~gosu (in 2002 now mayby delete it)
U.S. West: seaker.bad (in 2002 now mayby delete it)
But i am wondering. Why we don't make our own free server for playing in battle net. This server can be made spacialy for testing the maps we made. Even the statistics won't be importnat.
I am sure there is someone who knows how to make server, and have the techniks for that. Well i hope there is...
