Maybe next time Blizzard will tell us that they're only looking for minigames if they're only looking for minigames. I should have made 'Flappy Mutalisk'....
I can't say it never occurred to me that copyrighted music would be off-limits, but I couldn't turn down such an amazing soundtrack! We'll have to see what happens.
And no bad blood if Airstrike can't be considered as a result :)
I also like to map on the wild side and map with copyright stuffs. I figure, these are amateur maps, the copyright holders couldn't care less. And thanks to the popularity system, chances are few enough people will see it to complain.
I wouldn't have put in copyrighted content for contests though.

I find it quite annoying that they don't at least grey out the button instead of having a button that literally does nothing other than frustrate and confuse people, but I do hope we get to see the results within the next 2 or 3 days, unless anyone cheated in terms of votes, then I would not expect to see the results for another week or 2 which would be quite unfortunate :( but I highly doubt anyone has done that.
Hey everyone, unfortunately Airstrike was disqualified from the competition due to my use of copyrighted music. I wrote down my thoughts on the subject here:
But the important thing to note is that it was my mistake and Blizzard's actions are fair and justified. Thanks for everyone who gave the game a try and good luck to all those still left in the competition!

They told somewhere that they are looking for "fun" maps + the 6 player thingy, I was kinda expecting this.
Lets make Flappy Nexus wars:D
Is this the only vote that's happening? The top 3 is it, right?
Congrats to the top ten!!
Perhaps an in-game ladder announcement would boost interest in the arcade....contest, map nights, new mods to play, etc.
Someone brought this to my attention last night so I made a video about it and had someone post it on reddit :)

This is pretty bad. Blizzard could very well disqualify the entry if they find out.

Well done. I like your previews a lot.
These are awesome! I love the format and how you explain each map from nothing.
So, appearantly the poll ended but there are no results yet.

Sorry to hear that rut, I hope you still keep rockin! :)
Thanks. If anyone ever wants me to make one of those for your map just send me an email at [email protected] or add me on Skype using that address.
