You made completely v1, I made a topic for it, and basically played publicist for the map. Hosting it all the time and teaching people. Still, it was very imbalanced and glitchy. Then you made v1.2 with mneox. It was awesome, but still incredibly glitchy. Then you made v1.4, finally made all characters playable. A game could actually be played and enjoyed with a fair chance of shit not breaking. Up until this point you engaged with the community, updated the map, and even played sometimes.
And then you died.
We went months without another version to fix simple things that were found to ruin the game. So instead of just letting this map with awesome potential die, moose started editing it, which wasn't breaking any rules since it wasn't protected or anything to begin with. He put tons and tons of time into fixing things, and eventually ended up rewriting almost every single trigger you put in, because your trigger work was VERY sloppy and inefficient. The M versions are refined to the point were they are ready for competitive play. So I host tournaments, making temple siege even more popular, and at some point the most popular UMS map on East. Unfortunately b.net players were always incredibly mean to moose, which over time killed his motivation to keep working on the map. For a little while after vMT, temple siege was dead. We turned to you, hoping that after a YEAR you might be able to set aside some free time to get back into TS. You failed, and just talked alot about v1.5. I couldn't believe how little you cared about temple siege. It's incredibly rare that a map maker gets their map to be this popular, but you didn't seem to care. I petitioned moose to hand it down to me, but he wasn't ready to give up yet. At the start of the new year, you and moose simultaneously got re-energized to be productive, probably because it finally hit you that temple siege was the center of UMS. So like a father coming back to his bastard son, you thought everything was cool with you being in charge again, and that we were really just watching it while you were gone. You wanted to make 1 combined version of temple siege, but moose really didn't need you for any reason, so he declined. The direction you were taking was just all wrong, you even wanted to have a hero called Ussop from your favorite anime One Piece and use all his moves, and you were suddenly concerned abut adding a story, and giving characters really shitty user generated back-stories. No thanks, gl with v1.5.
After M3, moose started going in pretty strange directions that I didn't like either. TS was splitting up in all different directions, with none of them looking good; people hated M7 & 1.5 and were forced to play MT with all its glitches. I till it upon myself as moose once did to give people what they actually wanted, and released M3.1-3.4. It quickly gobbled up all the competition, but I ended it and promoted M8. M8 was awesome and actually garnered an audience, unfortunately despite a tourny 3.4 remained in the lead. Moose recognized he didn't even have any time to devote to TS anymore and I was finally given my first legit crack at making TS. He also once again gave you everything he gave me, out of recognition that you did start this train. I announced I was making M9, with a modest list of features. It was just in time too, because also during this time Pigy_G re-stole M3.4, called it CHAOS, and just made everything deal 9999. At the same time you were busy behind the scenes. You announced an ambitious v1.7 that sounded awesome, but basically it was a relative unknown 'Flashbeer' doing everything. M9 was finished, and is now by far the most hosted TS, like 3.4 was. I'm getting the feeling this isn't luck, and I'm sure C1 is going to follow suit.
