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.
