So how does online participation for the map jam work? I only got an email saying "Your RSVP has gone through and we will reserve your space for the event. Upon arrival, please check in with NYU security.
Thanks again and looking forward to having you there!". What do i do now? Whats the theme? How/Where do I submit when I'm done? :D

Hi! The theme will be announced soon on stream and we will also put the info right at the top. You will submit to a dropbox and we'll get you the link as well in the afternoon.

Cheers!

Clearly blizzard was in on that decision. The CSL was advertised in-game on the front page when you log-in.. Blizz scratches their back, they scratch Blizzard's :-P

We want you to explore the limits of destructible rocks. Maybe the answer is that they're terrible. If you think so, what do you do? Put a decorative rock in the center. Get artistic. Make a puppy rock so no one wants to destroy it.

Explore all geographies and see what you can do.

well i totally see your point, but mixing normal maps with the three 'fun theme maps' is possibly not really highlighting the creative potential and skill that is in the custom map (melee) community.

it was said on stream that the community is small, but it is not small at all imo, but kinda productive, not just very good in selling stuff to a wider audience.
the way maps are distributed in sc2 is one of the reasons.
btw: you do not download maps at some place in the internet, you go in sc2 and have to serahc them via melee custom or in the arcade mode.

but i wil try to come up with something.

What kind of food will be there? I'm trying to gauge what time I should stop by (as a player, not a map maker).

"Here's my idea, what do you think?"

"Wow! That looks like a really cool map! But...what if it's a Protoss?"

(after considering the fact that Protosses have cannons in PvZ destroys the fundamental idea of the map) "...... fuck Protoss. You know what, how about this: if Protoss spawns, destructible rocks all over their base. That's my map."

Signed up for the online part! Tomorrow is like my one day to sleep in this month, so I won't be coming down from the BX, but I will hopefully be submitting a map hastily thrown together in the morning!
