hell id even go as far as trying to get nexus wars as the first map of the week just to get it to the top.
Leaving that anonymous, but no, I am not the only one who thinks that.
The SC2Mapster community, I think, is not a reliable source for information on what is a good map. I am sorry, but it is the truth. "Nexus Wars Sucks" is a common notion here. Is it still on the front page? Yes. It clearly does not suck.
As for the rest, you need to look at this from a wider point of view. If the map doesn't get to the front page, then it doesn't matter what the map is. The first map MUST be one that is already popular, or at least has a TON of hype, and I am not talking about just on SC2Mapster.
But at this point, I just say throw Battle Planets out there. You guys win. Whatever is determined, I will support it 100%, regardless if I agree with it or not. If it is successful and makes it to page 1, which is very, very possible, I will be overjoyed! If not, well, we can figure something else out.
I am still keeping my vote at "We are rushing this", because the map doesn't have enough hype yet, but if you guys want Battle Planets, I will (as I said before) 100% support it. Contrary to popular belief, all I want is for this thing to succeed.
There was one mod that thought there may have been some kind of tampering. The poll was removed because of this suspicion. We have confirmed that suspicion to be false, however. There has been no "shady business" at any point.
Perhaps we can make a new poll, advertise it on the news to get a lot of votes, and see where it takes us? I have nothing against battle planets, by the way. I haven't payed too much attention to this thread untill now.
After two polls that were largely in favor of Battle Planets, this one still comes even. Taco said somewhere that repeated polls are more accurate. He couldn't be more wrong.
not to be argumentative (again... cough... cough...) but if 3 of them support or tie with the same map, they must be rather accurate
I'm not aware of what's going on, but I want to give "an outsiderĀ“s" opinion here. I've read the topic in SC2 forums when this project started. The idea is awesome and I think it will be great because people will get to know several maps they wouldn't know. I for sure don't go out chasing new maps, so it would work for me.
But it looks like there's some problem to get it started. Why is it so difficult to pick a map and use it? C'mon it will be changed in a week, voting can't take longer than that. Also, I'd like to suggest a poll on first page constantly, this way people (and I'm one of them) won't forget they can vote for this project.
:-) Good site, good ideas, and congratulations to this community.
thanks for the inspiration, but we've been trying to sort out how we're gonna start this thing
. could take a little while longer, but i'm expecting a great outcome
keep posting people! and compete with the niceness of that last comment
Has anyone actually gotten anything started? I've seen a lot of conversation going on but no action. I'm starting to feel like Rodrigo just wanted to troll the community or something. Why hasn't this MotW been put up? I would actually support it though I don't think it will change the original map's rating even if they get a group of people in a channel. I would only play it because it's at the top so I won't have to wait and I know it'll have a good map on it. But I feel like it's fallen into a developmental hell sort of thing.

Sorry, but as I said, I'm too busy right now. I'm not having much time for Starcraft. So please, I ask the sc2mapster moderators to continue this project just for a while until I get my time back. I'm not the publisher anyway, just set a pool for a publisher and we can start this project going... I haven't set one yet because I don't know when people actually want to since there's a lot of problem going on about the first map of the week.
Oh must have missed your post on being busy. Anyways I thought everyone agreed that battleplanets should be the first map? Seriously he's been working hard to try and get his map popular and it's actually really fun with a full group. I remember earlier this year I was making a vid after playing it a couple times.
the poll is still saying battle planets, so i guess it is the first week's map... we just need to change it to a publisher poll and clear that up
perhaps taco will show up and magically add the new poll? or perhaps a parade of pumas will tear down my door and maul me incessantly. maybe the earth will get bored and explode. perhaps my computer will turn into cheese. many things can happen, but time will tell which one shall prevail.
ALRIGHT WHO JUST REVOTED AND SCREWED BATTLE PLANETS LOL
right when it looked decisive
EDIT: anyway, i figure i should use this post for good, so i'll just ask anyone and everyone who knows how to work the editor and has plenty of time to spare to pm rodrigo about becoming a publisher...
(preferably if you're in Europe, as we only have one publisher for europe, and he doesn't respond to pm's)
(re-vote) Should Battle Planets be the 1st week's map?
But, why Battle Planets? I like Battle Planets, and I know Battle Planets was the most voted map in the previous poll. But that poll wasn't meant to choose the first MotW map. Furthermore, that first poll didn't even have all the maps suggested for the MotW project.
Thats why I think this process is being rushed.
PD: You forgot to add me to the list of mappers. :(

people are always going to submit more maps... srry but you needed to have yours ready before the first poll
still, those who join late will always have opportunities to catch up, like for week 2 and week 3
as for not being added, you should have probably pm'ed the living hell out of rodrigo, or tacomanstan since he's a mod and is frequently on this site... speak up and be obnoxious (with an o tacoman, if you remember than dilemma)
and, finally, i'd hate to be an ass but i'm gonna ask ya if your willing to be a publisher, since our only publisher on EU doesn't respond, is never online, and probably forgot that sc2 exists

yeah IliIilI was here at the start. and dogima is on here every day. just because he doesn't reply to pms doesn't mean much =P
I agree with IliIilI though.. but at the same time dont..
This needs to be already going.. but due to the way its being run atm.. its being rushed at the same time -sigh-

sadly, yes. i'm happy that dogmai is actually online, but i just never see him on this thread or get responses on pm's so i was worried. after we get 1 more EU publisher, we can probably switch the poll to vote for EU/NA publishers... i'm guessing battle planets is gonna be map #1, but we gotta sort out 2 and 3
so many polls, too much time, yet not enough, but plenty all the more.
I don't think putting an already popular map as the first map is gonna work. The community will just deem the Map of the Week as someway to split the community or some ripoff trying steal popularity.

Great to be back and part of the community again!
HELLZ YEAH lol
dear god... he removed he due to the trolling option #3
TROLLING OPTION #3!!!! NOT THAT!!!! NO DEAR GOD NOOOOOO!!!!
what do you mean exactly, besides general douchebagery?
is it trolling and douchebagery to the third power?
not to be argumentative (again... cough... cough...) but if 3 of them support or tie with the same map, they must be rather accurate

@Keyeszx: Go
the only REAL development problem is the number of publishers, which we're trying to clear up
after that's resolved, it should roll pretty smoothly
I vote for Sixen to be the uploader.
