I was chatting with Kaldaris on AIM, and remembered one idea we once had of creating a SC madness game (if you don't know what it is, it's one of those where units keep pumping out and you atack). The theme was, exactly, BattleForums. For example, I was a Dark Archon (predictable :p), and coRt was an Ultralisk, with his Ultra-uglyness and his coRtamination. Or was it a defiler?

Meh, anyway.

The objective of this contest would be to make one or more maps (yes, it can be a campaign), under the subject of BattleForums. It could be an RPG, a madness map, a bound, anything.

Nevertheless, we also need someone to write down the History of BF (rollback included), so the users can guide themselves.

About keeping the many maps we would recieve, CrookedFoot may handle it, I believe. A way can be found.

The winner would get a prize yet to be discussed, but as it has to be a, at least, nice thing, it can't be just 150+ posts or a different title.

Has to be something big.

Of course, the contest would have two winners, the StarCraft, and the WarCraft.

If we could spread this out, it might bring to BF even map making clans, who would then, if everything's normal, atract a legion of followers, if we hope a lot :)

Well, I actually would like to have this made (the deadline could be in the last week of American summer break).

So, what sugestions do you have?

I think this could work, maybe even make something similar to this on an anual bases.
Imagine people on Bnet playing the Battleforums Library of games.
Blizzard would really hate us then.

Edited: Me and kald had a madness map created a long long ass time ago.... it may be on my moms computer but i beleive its on my old one that blew up :( i can try to find it though it was pretty nice/simple. I also got a BF rpg i started called BF Legends. I got the map plotted out and am in the scripting phase, again its on my blown up computer. I'll try to get it off...

It's geared for the SC forums, but it doesn't sound like something the actually good UMS talents would go for, so my guess is that it would be a mediocre disappointment.

I don't make maps so I can't help :( and as I have only been here for little over a year I don't know the history, though that would be interesting to read.

[COLOR=33DD33]I like it. It would be tough to think of the reward, and it would have to be something that ONLY map making winners of BF could have... Like a group on BF of good map makers or something I dont know, and it would have to be done often so that slowly the group would grow.[/COLOR]

Yeah, how 'bout no. Hacks violate the EULA, Blizzard would have no right to shut down a website just because it contains hacks.
