Staredit Network Best UMS Map Posts Contest




It is high time to remember and appreciate the ancient art of advertising maps in the old battlegrounds of Staredit.
Many topics are works of art that almost mirror the effort in making the maps themselves.
So today after more than 20 years we can leave it to the community to decide... the best UMS map forum topics of all time.



HOW IT WORKS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.) For the next 2 weeks people can comment / link their best UMS forum posts they remember. This starts on 7/15/21 ending at 7/29/21.
These forum topics can be from any time before 7/13/2021 and don't have to be completely intact, as 20 years can change a lot of things. You can not vote for your own forum topic.

2.) Afterwards early and late submissions will simply be ignored in the final count.

3.) The top 3 UMS map topics will be displayed and linked here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Top Prize is a custom Staredit Emoji based on original maker.

2nd and 3rd place will receive the satisfaction of somewhat winning and a hypothetical fist bump.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Rules and conditions are subject to evaluation from the Staredit High Council

Veteran Mapper

So, is this a mapping contest or an advertising contest?
(or in more specific terms: How does the importance of map gameplay compare to the importance of the post's design/content?)



"It takes far more than a simple ideology to map amazing things. Mapping requires a strong passion for SC as well as an even stronger devotion to your work. Avoid instant gratification. Set directions/goals for the map, and stick to them. Take pride in the work, be patient with it, and never settle for less."

Whatever map you choose needs to have an online source and or page (downloads break so they are not required) preferably from this site or a popular starcraft mapping site. This is a deep dive of the forums and the best maps.

Echo -- I might be moving out of private banking soon. I got a job offer from the US Treasury as an examiner. DOGE won't be able to touch them since OCC is self-funded

Yeah I feel you. I've moved quite a bit the past 5 years too.

Ultraviolet shouted: Oh_Man Not really sure what you mean part of it lol. Seriously doubt anyone here is plotting to kill insurance company executives. I dunno how to feel about the event. On the one hand, fuck insurance companies and UHC is one of the worst. On the other hand, vigilante justice isn't ideal. Definitely not shedding any tears for the fallen CEO, and most likely wouldn't have reported the killer if I had been the one to spot him. There will always be another stooge to take his place though.
"part of the zeitgeist" probably means "approves of"

Ultraviolet -- Themselves or each other? I guess both are true

RIVE -- If anyone's gonna get shot in the US, it better be the upper class. The lower class has been shooting themselves for far too long.
