[Soujiro]

a rpg about this forum? with each memeber as a character

One thing I've always wanted to try to do is use the "always display" box as a "code/cheat(in the game)" in the "display text message" action.
Display Text Message:
Bring your Protoss Scout to the bottom right for 50,000 minerals
(Always Display box is uncheck)

I dont follow you Master Virus.. could you emphasize?

Maybe you should have a combination of all the main genre's of maps; a bound, a RpG, a defense, and a movie. You could sepereate each area into four sections.

For the 1st part, or the bound, maybe you could construct the words "Battle Forums" using tiles, and then the bound takes place in the words. Each letter would be one level.

In the 2nd part, or the RpG, you could have the players select BF heroes, such as TheSummit, Jason., AxL, Akule, Cortalos, KillerMe, TrongaBonga, or whoever, and make it their goal to defeat "Negative Tweak," or the dark form/side of Tweak. Lol, I thought that would be funny..

In the 3rd part, or the defense, you could make it like any normal defense (Cloaked Bunkers, etc) and you have to defend against the Blizzard Forum minions =P.

In the 4th part, or the movie, you could basically show a brief, exciting history of the BF forums.

I think this would be a good way to design the map. The official BF map should embrace all UMS games =P.

I hope I gave you guys some good ideas. If you use this idea, give me credit =P.

Its a lame idea and never works.

 

[Magikarp]

You mean the entire concept of a BF map or the idea I mentioned specifically?

 

[Renzokuken]

It'd only work if it was a campaign. Or a series of maps. BF's history is too long/detailed for just one 256x256 map.

hmmm... maybe cortalos could be a Dark Templar
Crookedfoot could be a... probe :rofl2

go crooked probe >_>

I say that you pick which famous person from Battleforums that you want to be. Then, you have to fight bugs, like the Zerg are the bugs from the computer and the Protoss can be the Viruses. They have to battle through them to defeat the Master Virus or the Master Bug. Maybe not Master Virus because that's a name on these forums already, but it's what it could be about.

Hey! What about we have a map that is centered around a Forums section, maybe? Like one map for SC Forums, another for D2, another for WC3, and another for CS. And the big map in the end would eventually join the other maps endings into the beginning of a new story that centres around the General Forums.

I don't suggest making it too like our history, we'd have to tweak our history alot to make it actually playable. And obviously ditch the boring stuff

 

[Magikarp]

I say that whatever you guys do, make "Negative Tweak," the final boss. People would think that it would be funny it Tweak's dark side was the final enemy.

 

[Soujiro]

tweak has a light side? lol j/k >_>

maybe... master virus... is the evil guy... and tweak is his hench person!!!!

but i still want to throw in crooked probe somehow, maybe a sidequest!
