We should hold a Blizzard Maps Challenge. Some of those maps are just insanely ridiculously poorly designed for modern play:

Power Lines + Show Spoiler +
Chain Lightning + Show Spoiler +,

Good god, I remember playing a "FFA" on Three Kingdoms, it was a fucking ridiculous game.

I joined a pubbie FFA on this game, and randomed zerg. The other two guys were both Terran. I went fast lurks and sent them over to one dude's base, and was raping his shit when I realized that the two guys actually knew each other and were allied. What basically ensued was me killing both their mains with sauron/lurk and them heavily fortifying the bottom main with tanks/turrets. I used some choice words to describe their faggotry in making an FFA which was actually a 2v1, but they spoke some other language, forgot what it was.

So I built guardians to crack their final base, but I was pissed so after i destroyed all their units i just pulled back and sent only like 3 drones to kill all their supply depots. Fuckers drop-hacked me shortly after.

Crappy maps.

when blizzard ladder was still around i remember having a ffa on winter conquest (or something like that?) and another island space map which was like 196x196 or 256x256. The winter one went just over 2 hours and the other game went close to 3:40 minutes TT

I won both lol, but God did it take a fucking long time.

ROFL! How the hell did yolu manage that?

The only thing I coudl guess is you turtled in quite well and they just gave up and left.

That would be great, though. I'd be laughing all day.

Raises another question, though: How the hell did you fall asleep during a SC game? O_O

at first I thought you came up against one of those "1v1 obs" games on b.net. Where it's UMS and the creator gets 99999999999999999 gas and minerals. I came up against one guy doing that, and kind of figured something was wrong when he wall-d in completely when i scouted him first but surprisingly won the game. (what a noob).

So fun with friends! What's especially fun is if you have an inhouse 4v4, and let you guys CHOOSE starting locations. Do you wanna split into parallel 2v2s? 3v1 and 3v1? Or all on the same side?

Actually my friends and I used to play a lot of large team games (5 to 8 players) and we exhausted hunters pretty quickly, so we moved onto a lot of the 6 and 8 player maps on panschk. It's a really good data base for playable melee maps.

oh man i spent so much time cracking up

me and my buddies used to play on blizz maps since they disliked hunters



I made only 20 tanks or so and the game was mine, I could play 1v7 vs them and still win rofl

oh god please don't remind me.

The first time I played SC with another human being was a 2v2 on Primeval Isles. We all had like 40APM. I was terran, my team mate was terran, my opponents were terran and zerg. The game went something like this:

me: "lol i remember dis stuff i used to use protoss and build a lot of dark archons and maelstrom when the comp tries to nuke me. nukes are so OP"
me: "lol i love mass siege tanks best strategy ever" (by mass at the time i meant like 10)
me: "lol wat i don't remember this game at all.. umm how do i tech to siege tanks?"
zerg: "get vespene and factory and stuff"
me: "k"
terran ally: "lol yeah me too"
terran opponent: "nukes are really good LOLOLOL"
*10 minutes later i realize that it's an island map as i'm starting to run low on minerals
me: "WTF ITS AN ISLAND MAP"
zerg: "ya duh"
me: "fuk"
*i'm frantically building a starport and a command center
*15 minutes in or so i get comsat. I scan randomly and see a zerg expo base
me: lol i found ur extra base dude
zerg: lol which one
me: wat
*20 minutes in i send a dropship with two siege tanks over to said base and it gets annihilated by a mass of mutas and spore colonies
me: wtf dude how did u get dat much zergs
zerg: lol idk
me: k
terran opponent: so wait how do you build nukes again? i forgot
terran ally: uhhhhh i think you have to get armory
me: no it's science facility
terran opponent: oh okay
*30 minutes in i'm looking at my expansion base and then suddenly "Your forces are under attack"
me: wat
*i look back at my base and something like 24 guardians and 24 devourers and 12 ovies are floating over my base. my antiair consists of 1 valk, 3 missile turrets, 5 marines, 1 goli, something like that.
me: HOLY SHIT LOOK AT MY BASE WTF HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT
zerg: lol i have like all the bases on the map
me: o
zerg: lol
me: omfg guardians imba
zerg: lol zerg is rly good yah

In my quest to beat this Zerg player I found boxer replays.

I've played this guy on west a couple of times recently who did this on a rigged version of Luna.
He goes T and you either have to go P or Z or he leaves the game.
All his buildings and units were free and his marines did 9 damage instead of 6.
Also he was fucking awful lol , went mass valks as a counter to my carriers when he had 3/3 metal but i guess when you have free units it doesn't matter? lol

I just played a game on Killing Fields. I won't bother with an image but just imagine a 256x256 8-player land map with expos all over the place. This was a "1v1 Noobs" game. (I'm a noob, having switched fairly recently from UMS.)

me: wow, never played this map
DeluxeNoobie: yeah i don't like getting rushed

I went CC first since I figured I was in no immediate danger, and proceeded to send out about 3 scouting SCV's and a floating barracks in an attempt to understand the geography and find my opponent. It turned out that he'd started in the position adjacent to mine. With my double gas I managed to produce a good-sized army of gols and tanks (he was massing wraiths) and a couple dropships and plunked my whole army on the high ground separating our mains.

DeluxeNoobie: you're not a noobie
me: am so
DeluxeNoobie: no you're a noobie hunter
DeluxeNoobie: you have maphack on
DeluxeNoobie: you can see the whole map
[at this point I had 5 goliaths, 3 wraiths, a barracks and an engineering bay scouting around the map; but it didn't matter because he hadn't even expanded.]

me: no i am a noob also
me: just less of a noob than you
DeluxeNoobie: fuck you noobie rapist
DeluxeNoobie: i am going to put you on my whore list

Then he nuked one of my 5 expansions and disconnected.
