They are currently only uploaded to the NA region but we are looking for volunteers to upload them to the other regions. If you would like to help please send an e-mail to iGrok: iGrok.motm@gmail.com

We want people to be able to watch games played on the maps before deciding the best. We will be sure to make a note of the vote in this thread. Stay tuned.

A question about the next Map of the Month Tournament:
How early can I submit a map to TL forums (to ask for help in balance testing and all that) which I intend to submit to MotM (#2) ?

You can post it whenever you like and the earlier the better! The more feedback and testing you can do the greater it's chances will be in the tournament.

I read somewhere that old maps were only accepted this first tournament, and the following tournaments should only allow new maps. Does this apply from now on? (ie. only maps posted/uploaded the last month can enter into the tournament)
PS. This is just to clarify for others, I have no intention of using any of my old (and crappy) maps.

That was something we had thought about, but eventually we decided that more testing is better for everyone.
Which brings me to my next point: If you're going to submit, PLAY YOUR GOD-DAMN MAP. Next month we will be disqualifying any map with messed up player settings. We had to properly set up more than 2/3 of the maps just so that we could playtest them. I'll be adding this and a few other rules to the OP soon.
Also, decline is back up and fixed

great! having the extra tank was a little.. different from my initial design  but is is like a proof that you guys (the judges) really tried around and checked everything everywhere like the siegeing of expansions, hehe.

Yeah. And I don't remember who asked, but we did in fact play games on every map submitted, with two exceptions.
#1 was Blaze of Glory, which we never recieved the map file.
#2 was Greserter, because... its Greserter .

flattered to be a part of MotMT in any capacity 
in the context of this cool tourney,
I volunteer 2 slots+ Show Spoiler +"Careful not doing typos on that word remember the last time!" on my eu account
this because maps not featured "crossrealms" (eu is the issue for now...) will probably suffer from it, the players and the vote must come first when thinking about this...
+ Show Spoiler +i'd expect my slots (darn) back for next month though
hope Zelniq is gonna provide the show (cause he can)
|
thanks baskerville, but we've gotthe EU slots covered. They should be up on EU by tonight!
|
cool
me needs my precious
edit: YaY thank you MotMT for EU LOVE

Alright guys, the new deadline is posted in the OP. Next month we'll only be accepting submissions between Jan. 31 and Feb. 4th.
In addition, I want to make this very, very, very clear. Play your maps with a friend before you submit them. If your map's player settings are messed up, we won't accept it. Thats proof that you didn't actually try out your map, and we're looking for higher quality than that. Remember that you'll also be DQ'd for not posting or emailing the map file or for cloning a map.
Looking forward to next month - only bigger and better things await

Are you guys taking donations to increase the monthly price?
I would definitely throw in 25€ so you can put 5€ on top of your 25$ for the next five month. If so plz post or pm a way how I could donate something.
I heavily admire the mapmakers on tl.net, I am always impressed with what I see being designed by the community.

Yes! We'll take any and all donations. Email igrok.motm@gmail.com and we can talk about it, of course anonymous donations are accepted also but we'd like to credit those who contribute!

I'm glad to see so many people behind MotM!

All of the MotM #1 Maps are now available on EU! If there's any issues, please let me know
