I spent the whole day calling everyone on battle.net, posting in all forums and doing the impossible to play my map. The only time I gathered enough people to start the game, the starcraft crashed in the loading screen. I am very disappointed and if someone found out how the popularity system is working, please tell me. People hosted my map many times and it stills counting as 1 game played per hour.
I made the map and I really wanted to play, but the popularity system did not allow me.
The game is not recognizing that the player has left the game. Therefore, the event “Player any player has left the game with any” will not call the trigger if a player decides to leave the game. I’ve reported that to blizzard, but they didn’t answer.
I promise to host your map if you do the same to my new map "Debates".
Just post your map name and say that you are willing and I will host your map. If everyone does that with every map in this list, we will bump all maps from sc2Mapster, and that's what makes sc2Mapter an united community.
Post your map name here and I promisse that today I will host all maps in this list. In exchange, you host my map Debates. I advice the other map makers to do the same, so everyone here can bump everyone.
Please, try to bump every map in this list! Together we can overpass this terrible popularity system.
I need people to help me testing this map 1 AM this night. If you can help me, add me in the starcraft.

@jarltheafro: Go
I'm confused about what thought do you want. Should I keep "Blizzard can make good movies?"
I am checking all the "thoughts" to make sure they are all gramatically correct. However, I really think is a good idea to play some matches in private before releasing this map. I will need some people to test with me the "global ranking" on day 27 (in private). We just have to play a couple games before releasing this map. I also have to test if I'm giving enough time for the players to write their arguments. 30 seconds might be enough if the players already have their arguments in mind.
Right now there's 213 thoughts.
edit:
I PLAN TO RELEASE THIS MAP 10 A.M. on day 27. I will do a private test at 1-2 A.M. If someone could help me in the private test, I will be glad.
I will release the map on a starbucks. Someone knows if battle.net works on a starbucks?
•Pirates vs. Ninjas : very good idea. I'm just writing differently so it's easier to understand: "Pirates are better than Ninjas"
•Diablo 3 will be bigger than SC2 : I added "Diablo 3 will be better than Starcraft 2"
•The Warcraft movie will be good: I added "Blizzard can make good movies"
•Good graphics are necessary for a successful videogame: Nice! Added! "Good graphics are essential for a good game"
•There is a God: I think the map already have this one. At least is similar.
•Aliens exist: There's this one already. "Aliens do exist" and "There's aliens living around us"
•Dr. Pepper is chemically the best drink ever invented: lol. I hate Dr. Pepper. It sucks. I'm adding this one. "Dr. Pepper is the best soda"
•Blizzard vs. Bioware; who tells the best stories? Hmmm... I'm trying to think in arguments. I think this one is hard to argue because you have to know Bioware very well. Hmmm....
2 - One week before they release the game you show your mom all your worst grades.
3 - Search on google for a newspaper article that interviews a psychology saying good things about videogames and how it improves the kids' intelligence (there's lots of them on internet). Print it out and leave it on the kitchen's table.
4 - When the game releases, you do the laundry, clean the house, wash the dishes, and show to your mom all your best grades. Then, you ask her to have your christmas presents a little bit earlier. If she is still saying no, tell her that she does not recognize your hard effort (which is true).
hahaahah. I really really thought adding this one last week. But then, I decided not because people might find very good arguments against the map and convince the other players hahah. I will add this one later on, after a month.
But you have to keep behaving good; otherwise, your mom will ground you. And believe me, its a WAY better to DON'T HAVE THE GAME than to play just a few times and have your starcraft taken back by your mom.
I was thinking, when starcraft releases people will want to see ACTION. This map has no booms and bangs. Therefore, it might not be a good idea to publish it right away. I will publish my map Platform Defense (with a Debates advertise) and wait until the end of day 27 to publish Debates. I know people don't want debates in the first day of starcraft. They want BOOMS and BANGS. :)
I just hope the game has a new popularity system. Otherwise, I would not be able to publish it later.

@GromHellscrm:

I spent 3 hours to find 1 player to play with me, and then, my game crashed. That never happened in warcraft 3..

There's a short version of this strategy.
1 - Hide all your school tests and quizes.
2 - One week before they release the game you show your mom all your worst grades.
3 - Search on google for a newspaper article that interviews a psychology saying good things about videogames and how it improves the kids' intelligence (there's lots of them on internet). Print it out and leave it on the kitchen's table.
4 - When the game releases, you do the laundry, clean the house, wash the dishes, and show to your mom all your best grades. Then, you ask her to have your christmas presents a little bit earlier. If she is still saying no, tell her that she does not recognize your hard effort (which is true).
