| Ok, as anyone with eyeballs and a refresh key could have noticed, bwm's in an inactive loop here. As an attempt to encourage activity, me and Nasty were talking about re-implementing Map of the Week, in conjunction with the current Map of the Month. Part of the issue at bwm is that it takes a month for a map to win anything, so fewer people make maps, and less time/effort goes into them, and the MOTM contests become jokes with one or two gems in them. One of two decent maps a month is ridiculous and way below our standards, we're perfectly capable of making great maps more often, if there's a reason to do so. So the proposal is to re-implement MOTW, give people a few days to add maps, a few days to vote, and then bam MOTW is decided. That map would be added to the motm list as "MOTM 1.01" for example. Then, the map that wins second week of January would be "MOTM 1.02". In the beginning of February a vote opens up for MOTM 01, and you guys vote for one of the four maps that won MOTW to be MOTM. All MOTWs get some attention in the newspost, with the MOTM being the primary guy in the spotlite. This makes it easier for more people to win, without degrading the quality of MOTM at all (if that is even a possible situation). If only one good map is being made a month, then that'll be the MOTM still like normal, but there will be more turn-over and more opportunities for people to win a MOTW. I propose this to go into effect starting January if you guys like the idea. And yeah, the MOTMs will be all posted in time. | ||

| will it be posted in the 'news' weekly? I'm down for it and will be making maps soon since its winter break...sounds good. oh and im guessing that all those new people such as largarse kinosjourney randomdragoon and other people left cause they barely get comments on their maps... modified by coV | ||

| Haha, yes, the idea would be posting the news weekly as well ~~ | ||

| But still with 5 months of lag I would assume? :p It's so annoying that each day has only 24 hours, I would much more active here if it were twice as much... | ||

| Nightmarjoo, the result today is a lot from your actions/abuse in past... If you still haven't tought about it ;) | ||

| What's the point of bringing this up, LGI? Your post either does nothing or causes a new flamewar. | ||

| LGI you are talking about a 10 year old game here that will soon be replaced by a newer version that will make this map database obsolete for good. This web-site has been dying for a long time and has just been kept going by the efforts of some individuals like Nightmarjoo. The problem is that he effort/reward figure to bothering in making maps and improving mapmaking skills just doesn't justify putting any effort into mapping here. There are not enough people to appreciate your work. The occasional new mapper that shows up every now and then figures this out after a few maps and then is gone. When SC2 comes out people will switch to playing that and playing SC1 will make as much sense as playing the earlier Starcraft versions using marines with no medics. All our work in SC1 maps will be history and history is a subject that not many people are interested in. Hopefully some individuals here will be able to transition into SC2 mapmaking and ride that wave making great maps and maybe even remaking the old SC1 maps into the newer format. So good luck to you all. Lancet | ||

| Ok I have really no interest in managing MOTW. Does anyone want to manage MOTW on their own? I'll try to cleanup the MOTMs and keep that going. I may or may not post January's motm at all; might be better to just save-up the maps for February and finish up the other MOTMs. Thoughts? | ||

| Lancet said it properly. | ||
