It is still in the conceptual stages. Sixen and Vj apparently just got permission to heavily customize this site and we'll definately be seeing some website layout changes in the future. Sixen and I also agreed that the way new members join teams should be more direct (like a recruit button or a resume box) sent to team leaders.
So big things like Mentor system and small things like the team functions will be fixed/added.
I thought about this myself. I was also thinking about map makers creating their own custom achievements that can be displayed in game like some kind of top score on their maps or display certain awards if that player is presently playing the map.
I am currently organizing a simple map project called: Drawing Contest. It is a remake of an old map. Its purpose is to bring out nostalgic memories and humor. It is also the 1st map project that im organizing for my Team and others.
The objective of drawing contest is to recreate 1 of many minimap picture of dots that is presented on the minimap. # of individual players are given a large flat area to build pylons for the drawing recreation. For 5 minutes, players will analyze the picture shown in their own minimap and try to create that minimap display using pylons. These pictures include outlines of a Smiley face, shapes, symbols, etc. A Judge is selected in game to award points to players who accurately recreate the minimap picture. The person with most points wins the game.
Rodigo had shed some light on how popularity works. I agree this brings insight on how the the popularity works but I disagree with the statement at the end implying that we are encouraged to attempt to create maps to BE popular.
I think as map enthusiasts, priority should be as follows: Personal interest > Gameplay > Popularity. If you want to create a 'well crafted, meticulously designed epic adventures' that last for hours then make it. Don't let the idea of popularity get to you. If you want to create a Rick roll map, as long as you get personal enjoyment, then make it. You're map enthusiasts, not popular seekers.
Back to bnet popularity, yah that graph seems accurate depiction comparing length of game vs popularity. Thanks Rodigo
Ahh, a Diplo fan. I bet you were one of those players that would only play Diplo Infinity, rage against other map vers like Diplo 7.7 and doesn't know how to play Temple Siege (the DotA for sc1) lol. I am currently making a Diplomacy map for Starcaft II. Its an original map terrain so no real life nations.
Map terraining and map unit placement and additional game concepts is what im looking for. If you can set aside the desire to see a Euro-asian diplo map and work on something more original, then message me.

I have a unfinished map version on sc1 if u would like to see it. It has all the 40 nations with the mythological names and a basic terrain.
Have you guys notice that the custom game list is filled with games of the same name? Seems to coincidental to have 10 versions of Golems all in one place that have 3000 matches last hour
and old ones, six and vj. Your hard work and dedication has given map makers of sc2 a place to share/discuss. Thank you guys; the community of sc2mapster appreciates it.
