I thought this is about terraining? All I see is "Find the marine in a bunch of units"
Victiln and Exaken being nice exceptions with an actual terrain and just a few units (beautiful! especially Victiln, I am really impressed about some of your shots ;) - pretty easy to find your marines, though :D -or maybe I was just lucky)

Have you ever seen a Where's Waldo?
It's usually a mess of hundreads of people, sometimes thousands, depending on the difficulty, and all you can see is usually a giant crowd of people and you have to find this one guy in red and white stripes.
I think this was just a fun idea to mess around with Starcraft 2 and not serious about Terrain. Also this isn't a contest so who cares? I did have a terrain but by adding all the units it takes away from it, which is the point of this WTE, it's to distract you from finding the marine (aka Waldo).
I do agree with you though, Victiln has some good Terrain there and if you can get away with just using Terrain then good job, but I did find his pretty easy as well. I did like the darkness trick in the first one, however it only works for a couple seconds.
My final "Where's Wally" is very different than others. You have to find a marine out of 3 screenshots. 2 screenshots have no marines in them. The other has only 1. Find him. Each one is also unique in design. Ex: Screenshot 1 is a character close up, while screenshot 2 is a 1st person view, and screenshot 3 is a battle scene. Good luck! And have fun! :D
Ahh, now I see it Ex. Yours is definitely the hardest so far if you ask me, and I reckon it counts - he really is more than half visible. All the other so far are easy tbh, I've found all of them within 10 seconds except two or such, which took me half a minute. Vic - you need to stop putting the marine around the middle of the screenshot :P
Bronxsy's spoiler ruined Akkiv's terrain for me, as the red circle on that thumbnail was too obvious to miss. I will say I probably would've had a somewhat hard time finding that though. On the other hand, people have started hiding P14 marines in trees, so the ruse becomes a bit shallow - and seeing as there's only 6 trees on your terrain...
Vic's terrain wasn't spoiled for me, and it took me a good minute or such, but I did find him there eventually.
Sorry about that Mozared, wasn't trying to spoil it. I just had a hard time telling if that was actually a marine or not in Victiln's lol.
So yesterday I decided to make a playable map for this WTE since it seems more of a game. However I did some Terrain work in the map so it still fits the case, but it can seem cluttered at times.
It's called Where's Wally?
The host chooses from 3 difficulties, Easy, Medium or Hard. Each one increases in time limit, size and number of decoys. Randomized decoys, buildings and Waldo placement so each time you play it will be different. Has a timer to see how long it takes you. Challenge others in a race or play solo to beat your best time.
Easy has a 2 minute time limit. Medium has a 6 minute time limit. Hard has a 8 minute time limit.
Depending on the randomization it could be a lot shorter or a bit longer and also depending on how many people you are playing with.
Just search for Wally or the whole title in Battle.net Create Custom Game to play it! And if someone wants to make a YouTube of the gameplay to show it that would be appreciated.
Just a thought for next week's exercise. You could have some kind of amusement park as the theme. I was just playing Sonic colors, shame its better than Unleashed but not really that great. The whole atmosphere is really great in that game.
Well, here's my idea for this. I did the same scene twice with two different placements. I hope the quality is alright, it seems low to me. Can anyone help with having better quality? Lol, while i was making this, I thought of a phrase: same scene, different 'rine. Pun!
I realized afterwards a lot of people are from the EU servers so they weren't able to see the map I published for this WTE. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attach it at the time and now I lost (due to harddrive crash) the original copy of it so I am unable to try and publish on the EU servers or attach it for learning purposes! I am trying to recover the original copy but for now I was able to get the playable SC2Map that you get when you download it. It doesn't open in the editor but will work from the SC2 command line. So I will attach it for anyone curious on what I made for this WTE, it's funner with more people but unfortunately I am not able to publish it on the EU server until I get the original copy. Well check it out if you want, for fun anyways... There's some decent terrain in it!
To play it just download the .SC2Map file and put it in your StarCraft II directory. Run StarCraft II.exe from the command prompt with this line after it: -run "%CD%\WheresWally.SC2Map" It should look like this:StarCraft II.exe -run "%CD%\WheresWally.sc2map"
OR for an easier way you can download the attached batch file and copy both files (the .SC2Map and .BAT) to your StarCraft II directory and run "Run WheresWally.BAT" and it will load the map for you.
Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope to get the original recovered so I can attach it for any learning purposes. Enjoy for now!
Couldn't help but go crazy with this one, good luck!
Get's harder with each picture!
@Mozared: GoI've made marine red now. Should be more visible now. (I hope)
I found every marine in every picture so far. Just tell me, Mozared, when I can reveal their locations. You're very welcome. :D
New Where's Wally Hide and Seek picture is here. Try and find this one. :P
Edit: An here's 1 more.
You guy's really wanted hard? Okay, here are two more. I think they will bit a bit harder, I hope. =)
And yes, the marine is at least 50% visible in all of mine.
Good luck!

I did enjoy all the terrains, though.
This should be hard enough for Mozared
To easy ey? ill take into consideration.. TASTE THIS!
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT
@Victiln: Go
@Akkiv: Go
Correct?
@Bronxsy: Go
very much so!

I'd like to see a spoiler for Bronxsy's second Where's Wally picture...I'm having a VERY hard time on that one. :P I have everything else though.
@yukaboy: Go
I can't seem to upload anything so I can't show you but I can tell you they are both near the middle.
@Mozared: Go

I think I have everyone's spoilers now except for Bonxsky's 2nd one, so I think he won. (If it were a contest) Here they are!
