Looking for Map makers and Map Testers for league page: 1 2 | ||
| We are currently running a new customs league, momentarily and looking for some league map makers and beta testers. Also Admins anyone have a question or would like to join it message me or email me at Bltide@hotmail.com | ||

| Who is "we"? And, what's a "customs league"? Is there no site/forum which has any real information about this? | ||
| 2009, 08, 09 13:33 | ||
| Well me and a friend is going to make a league and would like to use custom ranks, maps, etc. We are looking for some good map makers and beta testers. You will be rewarded. ^^ We will allow admin rights as well as access to the PvPGN server. Or if you'd like to become a admin. | ||

| When you say "custom" maps you just mean user-made maps, as opposed to pro maps like Destination, Outsider, etc? And this server, you're trying to compete with ICCup/The Abyss? | ||

| I'm interested in this, but only after more info. You got MSN/ICQ/Skype/QQ? | ||
| 2009, 08, 11 03:31 | ||
| Yes i have both MSN and Skype feel free to contact me. Skype: TrIgg3r1733 MSN: Bltide@hotmail.com If you are unable to get a hold of me there try my other friend who is helping with this league Skype: Iv-Viral MSN: ivviral@hotmail.com | ||

| I mean User-Made maps so people can enjoy them instead of evolving around what iCCup maps are there and such, we'd like for people to enjoy more than just those maps and play maybe some non pro-gaming maps as alot of user-made maps are just as good as pro-gaming ones. And no were not trying to compete with iCCup but iCCup to me is missing out on some pretty fun maps and were looking to play a fun competitive league and just would like to show the fun side on some well balanced User-Made maps. Because iCCup uses pro-gaming maps and we'd like to host a friendly, competitive league for fun gaming etc. Sorry for the delayed responses been pretty busy. modified by iV-TrIgg3r | ||

| I can help test the maps if that's what "beta tester" means. As as maps go, there are plenty of already made maps here at the site you should give a look. Activity has been pretty slow here, so odds of a good new map being made now is pretty slim from what I've seen. | ||

| @ NightmarJoo-- Hopefully by the time were done, there will be alot more activity here. My basic idea for the creation of this league was so that the real benefits of a map could be brought out. UnLike ICCup there will be less focus on Ranks, and more focus on fun. If you think about it, iVD is like "Training" for ICCup. You can play here for fun, and learning, and There for EXTREME competition. We are just more of a "Family/Freinds" oriented server. On ICCup (Excluding Teams) your just VSing random people. On iVD we hope to vs freinds. As for Beta Testing, it refers to the testing of maps to allow balance between each diffrent match up, so that one race doesn't have the advantage. Basicly refers to creating maps that are equally balanced, but still well decorated. You could probaly call "Beta Testing", "Map Creators/Testers". I've already browsed through the maps here and selected quite a few that have GREAT Potential, but hopefully by becoming "Site" Affiliates we can help BWMAPs get some more activity. Maps that I use will have the "Creators" name listed, credit will be given to them. Hopefully, I can get someone to edit the "Map Descriptions" to include "|iVD| A Custom's League" and in front of the Map Name |iVD|. modified by iV-ViRaL | ||

| lol yeah that's not a big deal, I already have to do that shit for iccup maps as is. If you give me a list of existing maps you're interested in from bwm I can write up a thing for what I'd be concerned with about each map, how the maps could be improved, if I thought they could be improved at all, etc, if you wish. If necessary, I can be involved in editing existing maps for the league, but I'd rather not actually make any new maps, unless you want boring (2)maps. Also, if you list what kind of maps you're looking for, I can try to help find existing maps you might want. Does your league have a site yet? I don't think your expectations on the league being "practice for iccu" are realistic though, iccup's ladder already gives a fair system for people to practice vs people relatively near them in skill. Aiming for a more fun based league sounds nice on paper, but nothing I've ever seen in my experience with sc and user-made maps suggests people other than perhaps map makers will go to a new server to play maps they don't know. Removing or reducing the importance of ranks removes the competetive aspect of the league, and that's what makes a league fun. That it's difficult to setup a 16 man tournament with a mappool of user-made maps is pretty strong evidence imo that this idea is not likely to go far. That being said, I'm sure everyone active at bwm would be interested in supporting your league to some degree. | ||

| @Nightmarjoo-- Well, some of your reply excited me to a great extent, and other parts crushed my hopes, but I am not going to give up on this so easy. I've already got several people just waiting until we are set up, they are already spreading the word. About your section on "Your Experiences" Don't you remember at the start of ICCup, isn't that exactly what happend? People went to a new server to play new maps, say "Excluding Python and LT". I am also considering starting a 3v3 ladder, I was hoping maybe you guys could put some extra work in on the 3v3 Maps you already have made, I really like the Twin Headed Snakes map, but we can't have a whole ladder off one map. Well this time, they will get a much better wake up call to what kind of maps are out there. About our website, it is currently in the growing stages, I don't want to release it at the moment, until its polished, but when it is completed be aware that you will be the first to know. You can download the maps I already put in the map pack at http://www.mediafire.com/file/ombknddydwj/iV_Season_1_Maps_Full.rar modified by iV-ViRaL | ||

| i could test maps for you if you want, i already did that when i was more active on this site and have a firm grasp of all 3 races. i am about B- with protoss, C with other races | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 19:34 | ||
| @Inept-- Sounds good, do you have windows messenger? | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 21:06 | ||
| lnept do you still play actively? And I'm B- zerg ~C other races, weak tvt though. Viral, abyss (iccup) caught on because people were desperate to find a replacement for pgt which had been dead for months, and iccup was pretty much shamelessly copying pgt to the dot, but that's what people wanted. | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 22:34 | ||
| im guessing you mean msn? interception@live.com and yes i do nightmar, i was playing in that kickball league(inertinept) i also play iccup a bit under NeO)Inept modified by lnept | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 22:34 | ||
| Hmm, I geuss when i first joined ICCup it was because I was tired of all the FASTEST bull shit going on @USEast, ICCup had many new maps other than Python/LT for me to play, same with my counterparts. + iV-Trigg3r started me on Low Money in the first place. modified by iV-ViRaL modified by iV-ViRaL | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 22:37 | ||
| Ah, I wasn't sure if that was you or not. Viral, well that was the nice thing about pgt too. | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 22:42 | ||
| If you ever want to come on the iVD server just message me or viral on MSN and we can talk to u about the IP, Zone, etc. | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 23:55 | ||
| @ScoutBWF If you hadnt had your info yet you can go ahead and msg me now while im available. | ||
| 2009, 08, 12 23:57 | ||
