Hey!
(They deleted the post somewhy...)
I put a thread to iccup forum about BWMN. I mostly talked about adding our maps into mots. I represented few maps of ours, and they liked them. I told about our maps being mots in PGTour etc etc.
Well, the main thing is that one of the "big" admins from iccup sent me a pm:
"Hi
Im ICCup.Yello-Ant, project director of ICCup.
I look on maps what you show on forums. They not really balanced. But i think we need talk in icq mb about others maps. or Build some maps only for ICCup."
So, now I have his msn, and I can talk with him. I would like to deal this thing with ICCup, but if admistration desides that they want to talk with Yello-ant, I guess it's fine ;P.
But think; we now have a great oppertunity to get atleast few of our maps to be played!
For the team I reccomend, in no particular order, Testbug, Flothefreak, Nastymarine, Nightmarjoo, and uh RaDiX.
I reccomend myself because although I'm no good mapper, I'm decent at playing sc, so I can help with testing, and can theory craft all night long along with some testing :)
I reccomend flothefreak because he's a long time mapper here, has good ideas about mapping, and a lot of experience, and I know he's active.
I reccomend Nasty cuz he's been here a while too, he's ok at sc, and is a decent mapper too.
I reccomend Testbug because he's good with designs, and has a lot of good ideas with mapping, even for being such a new mapper I think he understand a fair amount about mapping.
I reccomend RaDiX cuz I think he could also help with testing, and he likes doing innovative ideas, and he's the gosu who got iccup recognition.
Also, all of the above are on friendly terms and are active.
Radix could you give me/us his msn?
Scout lol, aside from the racism, I would have to agree that the admins don't seem too great, but that iccup is the new pgt, so getting more bwm maps there would be great.
Radix did I mention you're godly? :)
Please update us on the map requirements so we can start thinking up shit already.
Now he wants ~4 maps. 2 (4)player maps, should be "classic" (no spells, no inverteds, no neutral buildings). Should be good for 2v2, ok for 1v1.
And 2 (3) or (4) player maps balanced for 1v1.
PS: the maps can be old maps, and he is very careful
with balance, almost every map i showed him (10+) were bad, only 2 of them were good "with many modifications."
Radix show me the maps you showed him. Also from scanning the database with testbug we found very few maps we thought were halfway decent even with massive modification lol.
I showed him every (4) player map's from trcc, and starparty (except maps like sattarchasm, arena etc.)
He only "liked" Obession 1.1, and The lost halo...
hehe i also talked with them aobut same thing :D
just it was in the day when the antihack was released and we stopped talking cause they were in trouble because of all the bugs and the people flooded the admins channel to start whining ^_^
8 minerals main, 6 minerals nat = imba
all expos with ~6 minerals = imba
90% of bwmn maps = imba
as i allways told u ^_^
the most players want to play a map which is easy to understand, like luna, tau cross, longinus and python. everything which isnt common ("backdoor ramp" to the nat @ gaia) makes it difficult and players dislike it :D
yes there are alsoplayers which like maps like peaks or hitchhiker, but they are only 10%
nightmarjoo, u said, that u should be in the team, because u arent the best mapper, but a decent melee player. so, why dont u guys make a mapper team, with 5 decent mappers, and a testing team, with at least 3 ppl, 1 from evry race?!
First of all i wanna say, that radix is great!!!
Mappers for the team:
- flothefreak
- testbug
- ProtosS4ever (for real!)
- Nasty
- dunno, think all of the other members are at the same level.
Think he doesn't want any map. If you don't use inverted ramps, the most maps get pretty unbalanced. You have to make no highground for perfect balance. Like the idea, but not the jury. :/
