This week will be my last week as host of map night. :( My life has turned crazy-busy and I can no longer make the commitment to host map night every Friday night. Hopefully someone else will step in so that Friday night can continue unabated. In fact, someone might be capable of setting up a better stream than I had and/or have more time to post the VODs, and perhaps map night will be stronger than ever.
I will still join when I can, I just can't host any longer.

I'm sorry, but something very important came up, and I will be unable to make map night tonight. If someone else wants to host in my place, that would be great.

I was going to do this before, and I forgot, but I'm moving map night back an hour to 9pm eastern, 6 pacific. I'm doing this both because I think we will get more players initially if we wait an our for the west coasts. Also I'm doing something tomorrow, and I can be certain when it will end. I should be back by 9 no problem, and we can do up some map night. Last week we played for over 8 hours.

I'm trying to get Sixen to correct the post: Map Night is at 8pm EST, 5 Pacific.
I have doubled my upload bandwidth so we should be able to utilize Ventrilo once more without causing lag. Have your microphone ready if you think you want to participate.

Map night tomorrow night! 3/17/2011 at 8pm Eastern.
Never week (3/25/2011), however, I will not be available to host. If
someone would like to take the reigns as the host for a week, it would
be greatly appreciate. I'm also willing to reschedule if people are
interested.
If no one has volunteered yet I can host tomorrow night. Not sure I can
get the broadcast all setup right but I'm def up for game night this
Friday!
You're more than welcome to. Thanks for the support!

I'm sorry, I've had a very busy week and haven't had a chance to cut the VODs. The uncut VODs are available from the stream page under the "Videos" section. I will cut them as soon as I get the chance.
Busy as my week was, I have Friday night set aside for map night! I'm excited. Let's have some fun!

We will be using Ventrilo for in-game talking tonight. I have found a server (sc2mapster's server is down). The stream runs about 30-60 seconds behind, so talking to viewers would be very confusing. So I'm going to give out the ventrilo information in channel so that only players have it. If you'd like to join in on Ventrilo, please join "sc2mapnight" a little early so that we can get everything configured and tested.

I propose that we have this week's Map Night on the PTR. This means that
we'd need to make sure that enough authors stick their maps on the PTR
for us to play them. I know there's at least 3 on the list that are
currently on the PTR (maybe more).
I really like this idea, but I think that if we do this both the player pool and the map pool will be diminished significantly. I don't think we'll be able to get enough players to join us, and I don't think we'll be able to get enough maps up to really make it worthwhile. I truly like the idea, but I think map night's a little immature as of yet to move to another location and expect people to follow. Perhaps in the coming weeks if the patch has still not fallen and we can get more players to post maps specifically for this purpose, we could do something like this. I don't think we're ready for it just yet. But thank you very much for the suggestion. I will continue to keep it in mind through the next couple weeks.

I'd have to say the funnest map we played was Identificationary, LOL. It's simple and fun, hahaha. It's just too bad that with a full group of players that you only get to go once and there are no time options.
There actually are time options in the lobby that I didn't notice. Because it's such a crowd-pleaser, and because we missed some fairly important game options, we're gonna give it another go.

Haha yes. The case of the missing probe. :P It was a lot of fun, wasn't it? I'd love to see you again this week.
Please note that I've changed the chat channel to "sc2mapnight". You can still idle in sc2mapster as well, but "sc2mapnight" will be the primary meeting place for map night participants.
I'm excited! I can't wait until Friday...!

hey, formatting sucks a bit (well, a lot actually, map list is
catastrophic), and EST is definitely not GMT + 5. India is GMT+5 or
something like that, and thats in the opposite direction of NA relative
to Greenwhich. I think you meant GMT -6 :) (Hope i didnt sound rude,
didnt mean to! Just pointing out mistakes ;) )
Btw, why the new thread?
And i'll update mine now with the new info about the US thread.
EDIT: Ok, you fixed formatting
New thread because I am taking over as the host of map nights in the NA. QueenGambit works on Friday nights, and will be unable to attend. Therefore, I need to repost so that I could be the OP of the thread. Sixen will sticky this post shortly.
Sorry about the formatting. I hit "Post" when I meant to hit "Preview".
Also, do you have the steam address of the EU live stream? I'd like to post that here. [Nevermind. I guess I could have looked :P]
Map Night is a weekly gaming event where all sc2mapster members can come together and play fun custom maps all night. It gives people an opportunity to try out new custom maps in a casual environment. The goal is to promote custom mapping by increasing awareness. Map nights will be streamed live to sc2mapster, or the stream can be accessed directly at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jmanv. Video recordings of the event will be available the following day.
People that want to participate will login to starcraft2 and join us at chat channel: sc2mapnight. This has changed. We will be using a seperate chat channel specifically for map night. This will handle overflow, and allow players who arrive late an opportunity to play. As players leave, or if we need more players for a game, I will invite any idle players in this channel. So if you don't get a chance to get in initially, stick around, play some games while you wait, and hopefully we can eventually get you involved. If there is a large number of waiting players, we may start a second session.
Most maps will be selected from the list below, but suggestions will be welcome as well. If you join us and mention your map, it will almost certainly be played. Once a map has been played, it will be removed from the list. It may be re-added to the list at your request. However, if you map has bugs, I will ask that you fix those before adding it to the list again.
Please understand when playing that some games will be of poor quality, be unpolished, or difficult to play. In order to find diamonds in the rough, we'll need to look in the rough. Please be patient and willing to give any map a chance.
Information:
Next map night will be held on Friday, April 8st at 9pm eastern time, all night.
Mandrilx has offered to host map night on Friday, March 25th in my absense. Feel free to join him in sc2mapnight.
