Sounds good. We need someone who's good with advertising a map. Which is basically setting up images and details on the map. Which will actually be kind of hard to do since the images will be from other maps. I also have a video of BattlePlanets if you need to use it in advertising.
Husky is streaming right now he was playing melee but now he's just playing some nexus wars. I don't think other casters would stream custom games. So ya, I think husky would be a good bet for getting a custom game to be advertised.
List of things that need to be done before starting the MotW events:
Make a poll to choose the map for the 1st week. This poll should contain all the maps suggested in the map pool.
Make a poll to choose the map for the 2nd week. I think its a good idea to add some information in the current map about the previous and the following MotW map.
Make a poll to vote for EU publisher.
Advertise the project in major sc2 websites.
Start boosting the map up to the top10.
Add me to the list of mappers.
Maybe we could add a trigger to link together all the maps in the MotW project. When a group of players end a game, they are asked to continue playing some of the maps from previous weeks.
first of all we need a mod to add you to the mapper list, then we need to decide on EU poll
GUYS PAY ATTENTION: alright, so we only have 2 EU publishers, but if we're convinced that both are reliable, we should take our pick.
i've heard that dogmai is usually reliable, but he doesn't visit this thread much
Exaken is on this thread recurrently, but he has less reputation
and here's the kicker: if we want to get this thing rolling, we should just vote for one of em and forget option 3 unless you REALLY doubt the publishers
(UNTIL I HEAR SOME ARGUMENTS ON EITHER SIDE, I"M GONNA WITHOLD MY VOTE [not that 1 vote counts])
perfect... since i see him on this site so often i'm voting for him
EDIT: also we already made 3 polls for week one, but people keep arguing against the results so we're indecisive now...
as for everyone else.... VOTE FASTER DAMNIT
as for motw, here's what we've got so far
1) first week's map was voted battle planets on 3 polls, but mods and premiums argued on behalf of mafia (since it's already popular and will help the project get a huge initial popularity boost) and there were also multiple votes for "we're rushing this" and "no for battle planets" which when added up effectively said no for battle planets, but it was also a multi vote so it's confusing at this point
2) Sixen is the NA publisher
3) So far Exaken is the EU publisher, unless votes change
4) rodrigo is busy, so the mods, me, keyesx, IliIliI, and a few others are discussing the current issues and updating polls and candidate lists
5) chocolate rain
5) whoops typed "5" again
3) damnit now what am i doing?
6) ok back on track, we're focusing also on advertising methods, the issue with the first map, and how fast or slow to work through these matters

Why not just make a final poll if mafia or battle planets should be the first map (after everything with publishers etc. is settled). If the decision doesn't come from polls anyway, then meh, why did you make them? To create the illusion of actual participation?
Just a reminder: Taking a map against the will of a lot of people might cost you the few supporters you have.

As it says, this poll was just to rate maps, not to choose the map for the 1st week.
Why battle planets? Why not any other map from the map list? Although I think battle planets is a great map for the 1st week, I think this poll was completely rushed.
I still miss a poll to choose the map for the 1st week. I mean a poll with all the maps suggested in the map list. Correct me if I missed some poll while I was on vacation.

believe it or not, that final poll is something i'd support. As long as there are no "we're rushing this" or "rodrigo sucks" options, then i'd be happy with a fair mafia vs bp poll
although i do trust exaken, so we'll see if you need to save the day with your awesome mod powers (I assume they allow you to fly, cook popcorn with laser vision, and earn popularity for maps)
you changed ur signature... i think you mean "I am a sc2mapster expert", might sound better than "an"
we really need to press forward... first of all change the thread name to "voting for EU publisher"
after that we should make an advertising poll to sort out which methods are most important, so we can get them ready by order of importance for when motw is going to be launched
COME ON PEOPLE this project isn't dead!!!! we need someone to set something up... imma pm molsterr now
none of the mods have responded to my advertising poll concept.... DONT MAKE ME CALL DOWN THE THUNDER (and by thunder i mean sixen... who will definitely help, but i'm hesitant to busy him any more)
i need at least an answer about the advertising method poll...
we shouldn't have 24 hour gaps between comments... just saying. this entire project, and all of the bickering and arguing i've instilled in it, will be wasted it it's released 2 months before HOTS.... how can i manage to visit this thread every day, address as many issues as possible, pm all the mods, submit both of my maps and submit myself for an NA publisher, yet no one else can post one more comment... do i have to troll to get attention back?
maybe i'm just panicking in loneliness, like a man stranded on an island, with a bottle of whiskey and a 3 month extensive internet gaming community project that will set off an atomic bomb if he doesnt complete it before the deadline... strange metaphor... like i said, whiskey

@Keyeszx: Go
lmao i got it!!! let's make a motw map!!!
an entire map made of pop-up ads (which you'd ironically only see if you were already playing motw)
lol ima kill myself for that idea
lol

@Keyeszx: Go
sounds good, how do we contact him? just pm him and ask if he'll stream motw when it's up?
@thepumaman1: Go
That's what I'm hoping, but you won't be able to get him on sc2 since everyone and their mother pms him.
similarly, i haven't been getting any answers from the mods about anything... must be labor day weekend screwing everything up...
DO YOU HEAR ME MODS!!! RESPOND TO MY PMS ASAP OR I WILL EAT A PERSON.... not sure who... or how... or why... why in God's earth would I?
nvm... i'm just gonna conclude with, we need to get a few things done, and i've expressed this via pm... help out if you're willing
EDIT: YES!!! somebody added exaken to the EU publisher list... thnks, i'm guessing either taco or molsterr
molsterr, i'm still waiting on a response regarding ads

Exaken is our oficial streamer in the EU Map Nights. He is doing very well and he seems a reliable guy.

This project has lost its momentum. Are you really that surprised?
yes, not because of the momentum, but because you responded
last thing i expected
