Edit again: Actually, thinking about it more carefully, it doesn't make sense at all to transfer probes from the main to a base that far away. You would want 8 peons at the main for max efficiency until they run out (doesn't take that long), and you would just rally the rest to your nearest expo, since you can't increase efficiency anymore at your main, when your main minerals ran out, it's only logical to send them to the closest base. Tell me if it turns out to be a problem in real games, but I can't really see how it would be with players thinking logically and trying to win.
Well, if you think of it from Zerg, since they have larva they can create drones WAYYYY faster than the terran or protoss will be able to with the fastest placement thing, so they will have a huge advantage and way too many drones than they need at that base - so I would transfer an amount when my expansion is finished because by the time my expansion finishes I had like 16 or 17 supply iirc so I sent about 6 drones and 4 of them got stuck.

Ugh. The last thing I want to see is a bunch of maps with large/small ramps, weirdass bridges, sprites everywhere, neutral buildings, neutral spells, mineral blocks freaking everywhere and other contrived "unique" features so separate it from the crowd. Namja Iyagi type islands? RoV ramps? 815 ramps? I don't want to see that crap.
It doesn't matter how "unique" your map is. If it's a good map with a good concept and is well balanced and beautiful, it'll succeed.

Oh, and I'd love to participate. I was never really very good at mapmaking, though :[

this is offtopic, but where do you get all the ramps? I have SCMDraft and it doesn't have any of those doodads :/
You make them.
Literally.

Hey guys, I'd really suggest you test out PsychoTemplar's map. Even if you don't like it, grab a friend and just go play a few games on it when you're bored or something, it's a really fun map. Seriously, it's like a whole new Starcraft! It's awesome. From what I saw there weren't many significant imbalances, it was very good and a great concept. No kidding, download it and play it.

It actually won't. Maps like that are a dime a dozen. If you have a big name you might be able to get it in some tourney, but really those maps don't stand out at all. The only thing for the rest of us to do is just make cool maps that we'll have fun on, cause nobody wants to play on a clone of pro maps (least of all me).

Can I use Faoi, despite it being in iCCup?

As with PsycHOTemplar's map, I am going to leave this one up to the other participants. I am not sure if that gives it too much of an advantage, or an advantage at all, over other submissions. However, if you have another that you are really proud of, I would suggest just using that one, but that is just a suggestion.

Now children, let's not turn this thread into a flame war. One more word and it is time out for the both of you.

I think given the spirit of the competition (giving maps that would otherwise never be played a chance), this would be stupid and selfish. Your map is going to get plenty of games just being in iCCup, probably even by some decent players. Be happy with that.
