Just here for the activity... well not really

Now that the game loads from multiple places (see https://www.reddit.com/r/broodwar/comments/gk3vt1/so_where_is_all_the_maps_folders_located_for/)

What folder do you use for manually downloading maps to?

The user folder or the program files folder?

Also, is there no way to add polls in v5?

I run the game on Linux, so, the it is installer on my home directory and run via Wine/Lutris, so, '~/Documents/Starcraft/Maps' is a symlink to '~/Lutris/blizzard/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft/Maps'

So, technically, I store everything in the Program Files folder.

We do a little trolling

I just use the same old maps folder I always used. I think new maps are downloading to the documents folder automatically. I guess SC merges the results from both folders.

There is.. but I remember it being terribly counter intuitive to make work.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
