Shit. Can I modify Empyrean (beta version) so it will be Staredit only? Have I "published" it yet? I was only looking for suggestions, hence the beta title.

gl modify that homosexually huge bridge to make it staredit  and if you remove it it will be like 100% a new map anyway

I'll also make it more balanced :[
Edit: Actually I'm not even going to enter that map. I just realized that most of the map was placed with Starforge. All of the ramps are illegal, as well as all of the cliffs :[
I should make a new map from scratch, but I'm too lazy (aka I don't know my CD key, which is required for submission) XD

wanna co-op?

I've actually had a map in the work since last week, and was planning on posting it this weekend if I can get some more testing done on it.
Luckily I saw this first (actually Troku found it first and told me), so I can keep the map private if necessary . In any case, I think I'll make a "backup" map and submit that too.
On the topic of the contest rules, I took the time to read through most of the official rules here: http://www.blizzcon.com/contestrules.shtml . Nothing really stood out to me. The definition of "previously published" isn't elaborated on. But here are a few extra facts that might be important to know:
o "Limit one entry per household."
o "In the event of any dispute, entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the e-mail address from which the e-mail was sent." Seems to mean that co-operative efforts may not be very welcome?
o "Prize Winners must execute an affidavit of eligibility before they can receive their Prize. Prizes returned as undeliverable or otherwise not claimed within fifteen (15) days after delivery of notification will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner." So don't get lazy and put off signing the papers that you'll need to sign and return in order to claim your prizes .
o "All maps submitted as part of this Contest become the sole property of Blizzard."
Oh yeah, and two more things that are pretty important to know:
o The prizes are 3 StarCraft action figures ( ), 3 StarCraft novels, and 1 Blizzard T-Shirt
o The period for submissions runs from July 25th to August 10th.
Lastly, I think you should avoid using trademarks in the map title or song lyrics in the map description (coughrequiemcoughparanoidandroidcough). It doesn't mention this anywhere, but it should be common sense  . If you did anyway then they'd probably change the map title/description to avoid infringing on any other companies' trademarks or copyrights.

startmenu/run then type regedit and exe. find sc and you got your key.. or perhaps not, but anyway

o "In the event of any dispute, entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the e-mail address from which the e-mail was sent." Seems to mean that co-operative efforts may not be very welcome?
Could always co-op on 2 maps and submit 1 each if that would be the case..
i think they mean that the map should not been used in any official event, and to be sure it would probably be easiest to simply make a new one.

Maps will be posted as soon as the contest is over and they've been picked, so well ahead of BlizzCon

Thank you very much, but I just sent a PM to starparty asking if he'd like to co-op and take all of the credit

Maps just posted on a forum thread for feedback won't be disqualified. Maps for leagues, previous map contests, existing very well known maps etc. will be.
Idea isn't to stifle ability to get feedback on maps, or 100% force creation of brand new maps, just to give BlizzCon a map set that is fresh and new.
