Anyways, I think it would be cool to have a top 5 video, not too send to TB, but just for people to see in general. You just have to be a little careful with ranking things if you decide to actually rank them in order. People tend to get upset if they don't agree with your rankings and others will take it too seriously as the be all end all. Just make sure you specify that is your ranking... I don't even know why I'm talking about all this - you know what you're doing.

Why rank them at all? Why not just have a video called "5 awesome Arcade maps" or something? Most Arcade maps are so different from each other that comparing them really is kinda pointless and as such a ranking wouldnt make any sense anyways.
Apparently there's an issue with ranking, which I've pointed out people would not like for a long time now. It's simply about making it clickbait-y by titling it "5 Usermade Campaigns You Have to Play" - this was never a best to worst list idea. Realistically, people will still just assume it translates to "Jayborino's Favorite Campaigns" regardless of what it's named so I don't see the point in debating the semantics of it.
My channel has been nearly all campaigns hence I'm making one for campaigns as that is what I have experience to speak on and it's not really up for a group vote on whether it should include other things beyond that. I encourage others to make something of a different flavor that they're more experienced with like group maps on the Arcade. I did want to float the idea of who will be unhappy with a list of this fashion and it sounds like at least a few people.
Maybe I'm misreading, but people responding in this thread seem to be slightly on edge, though it may be because the idea was miscommunicated from the start, so I'm just going to hold off on making this video for now as I've been teetering on even wanting to put the time and work in to doing it in the first place. I am not a savvy editor and my 90 second channel trailer took me two hours, yikes!
Visit my channel where I showcase custom content! Send me a PM or respond to my YouTube thread if you'd like to see your map/s on my channel (eventually!)
Ah bummer!! I was going to promote the shit out of that video!!
What about all the campaigns that are "completish" as the defining characterisitc:
Perfect Solders
Subjection
Hand of Humanity
Odyssey
Marauders
Narudek's Compendium of Campaigns
Antioch Chronicles
Prime Resurgence
Bio-Tech Company
I feel like that is a good list to promote with the critical lense of Jayborino!! You could also showcase all the "In Production" campaigns with just a quick snapshot. Phew! Now it sounds like a lot of work, but I do think this would help the community a lot. If it brings people to us, then it helps everyone even if your campaign isn't spotlighted!!!!!!!!!!

Spot on! I'm just postponing this and I'll do it some time in the next two months rather than ASAP.

I am all for this video! I hope you didn't think I was on edge!
I for one would think it would be cool if at the end if you ask everyone to list their 5 favorite in the comments. Just to see what people's opinions are. I know mapmakers are going to be bias to their campaign, but most sensible people would understand if their respective campaign isn't the absolute best out there. There is always room to grow and no campaign or person is perfect!

Why only arcade? , I've seen many awesome custom campaign here at mapster.
They also deserve some lovin'.
And why have to rank them? It can be very demoralizating for some map maker.
They might even decide to "fuck it i am done with sc2" or something like that.
Just sayin' it is something to consider.
