When would this happen? I'd probably need to play a few games with my brother to polish up my skills, because I haven't really played at all for the past few months. My 1v1 skills have always been pretty shitty too.

Count me in.

I can attest to this statement.

I might be in... Does Starcraft have Observer options like in WC3? I'd probably go down in the first, maybe second round, but I'd still love to watch. =P

I think we could record the games, and then laugh at them afterwards.

for observers...don't know. I think you can just join in as a part of the mach and suicide yourself. Hopefully it doesn't boot you out of the game once you die. Otherwise...as 42 said, theres record game.

Make it so.

Well Fifth if I were to make that map it'd probably take about 8, probably closer to 16, of the largest scale maps to fit it all. If you have a favorite continent or island chain I could probably fit that on one map.

I'm totally game, but I would like customs more. I'm not very good at WC/SC in their actual RTS element. But I could try and I would definately join in.

(Make note: Reinstall StarCraft)

Edit: Silly MajorBlood and his silly avatar.

He said he had it first. D=

Ok so I've got an idea to make a 256 by 256 map cut into squares of 32 by 32. Now if I'm remembering my triggers and switches right I can not only make you teleport to different locations as you transition from one to another I can also make it so that if you've been teleported from a location the next time you teleport from that location you will end up somewhere different. This would then reset so that if you got there again you would be teleported to the location it first teleported you to and so on.

Basically, to navigate the map with anything other than blind luck you'd have to know what locations teleport you where when you've passed into them an odd number of times and the different place you go when you've passed into them an even number of times. This should make it hard enough that a very very large amount of time would have to be spent figuring the map out. I'll look into trying to randomize it somehow, maybe by flipping the switches at certain time intervals or when certain events happen. I might even make air units teleport to different locations from the same location as their ground unit compatriots.

Edit: Yes I am truly evil, but I'm much better at map design then actually playing.

There are observers in Starcraft. It's how they broadcast the world championship games.

CelesJessa · 06-09-2007, 07:56 AM

I would possibly be interested, since I think we finally got the internet working with some sort of regularity at home. Even though I suck majorly at it (plus I haven't played for a long time) I still think it would be fun (and now everyone else that thinks they suck can join because they'll probably be better than I am at least. =D )

Now to find my copy of Starcraft again...
