Ralle · Feb 24, 2016

Notice created. I might be able to join.

StoPCampinGn00b · Feb 24, 2016

Awesome!

I'll likely be there. I'll also put the info in an announcement message in the Clan THW channel so we can get more clan members to participate too.

Footman16 · Feb 25, 2016

I may or may not be there, all depends.

StoPCampinGn00b · Feb 28, 2016

And the time I posted completes the event. Thanks everyone for coming

Maps played:
Soul Island
Forest Defense
Ice Escape
Uther Party
Spider Empire
HeroCraft
Battle Tanks
Footies

Ralle · Feb 28, 2016

Would have been fun to be there. I was not feeling too well.

Cherrymage · Feb 28, 2016

How about this for the next evening?

Infinity Anime v1.00

Sh4kE · Feb 29, 2016

Im sorry I couldnt make it, did someone record it, would be fun to take a look at it

WaterKnight · Mar 2, 2016

Have saved most replays: http://moonlightflower.net/wc3/FA/

Warseeker · Mar 2, 2016

Too bad I wasn't there but thank you WaterKnight for the replays.

Sh4kE · Mar 4, 2016

Ye thanks for the replays, but without having the map we cant watch them and I have problems finding the right versions.

WaterKnight · Mar 4, 2016

Yes, that's the problem for me as well. The versioning partially requires lots of required space and the file names are not necessarily bijective. Only uploaded the maps of the last event for now, though you still need to put it in the right folder.

Paillan · Mar 20, 2016

but what about fun map challenge? I liked that challenge, the idea of making a map in 24 hours.

Wietlol · Mar 20, 2016

I think the quality of a map can dramatically increase if you polish it up the second or even third day.
48 or 72 hours would in my opinion be a better practise.

This could also work due to the fact that we are a small community, and that people are old and busy. I remember that when I joined those contests, already half of the time was gone, and I used like 6 hours to make my maps.

Frotty · Mar 20, 2016

The idea of the 24 hours challenge (I actually came up with that shit and water published it) is a fire & forget fun project meant to not be polished.
We want to see quickly created prototypes that reflect the genre/keywords and usually incorporate something that the mapper wanted to try out anyways, but which doesn't fit with his "main" project.
Which is the main reason I wanted to do it - I have my major projects running slowly and not much to show. With this challenge you put out something playable and then you can forget about it. You don't need to maintain it, polish it or even publish it. For me it was a fun thing to get my thoughts off my usual stuff and then start fresh again after the challenge.

Now, if you schedule your plan a bit before the event starts, you actually get to work ~10 hours on the map and maybe test another 2 hours. Then this can very well work out. So more an issue on your side Paillan imo.

But sure, we should give a longer duration a try before ruling it out I suppose

Kino · Mar 23, 2016

Id be happy to jump on a 24hr Map-Madness anytime.
(Though, preferably sooner rather than later

)

Cokemonkey11 · Mar 28, 2016

I may be there this time

A]mun · Mar 31, 2016

Coming again with hopes high to play less specific maps (i'm looking at you icy escape and consorts).

WaterKnight · Mar 31, 2016

So you want to play "icy escape and consorts" or not? What do you consider specific?

Ash · Mar 31, 2016

April the 2nd! I will be there (I'm actually adding this into my calendar, too).

Meatmuffin · Mar 31, 2016

Will try my best to be there, don't know if I'll be able to.

StoPCampinGn00b · Mar 31, 2016

I'll try to be thar.

EDIT: Updated Clan THW's announcement for this!

WaterKnight · Apr 2, 2016

Ralle · Apr 3, 2016

What maps did you play? I was sorry not to be there. It's just so late in the evening for me.

TheWhitePianoKey · Apr 25, 2016

I found a disk in my home (a CD disk

) with wartcraft 3 maps on it. So Now I know the names of all my favourite maps!
Would love to play some next time that we have an event.
Orcs And Elves
Enfo's team survival
cube defense
stronghold (or also called stronghold kyad).

Would also love to play battle tanks once again

Aww yee see you in a couple of hours!

Ralle · May 11, 2016

I had a blast. This was so extremely fun.

Paillan · May 11, 2016

Please tell me you have a video or else I will give you negative REP (just kidding).

Ralle · May 12, 2016

Nope. You have to be there. We were talking on Discord while playing all the great maps.

Only replays, see end of first post.

Paillan · May 12, 2016

Kay thanks.

SuperScruffy · May 27, 2016

Omg this looks awesome. Can't wait for the next one!

A]mun · Jun 6, 2016

Looks like a nice selection of different game styles, judging from the replays.

In for the next event then!

Hi WaterKnight, is this event free for all? UTC == GMT, right? I always get confused about this.

Ash · Jun 16, 2016

Just added it to my calendar. See you there!

No, the event is exclusive to sea critters, tasty sea critters.

Discord discord discord?

Oh, and are you able to add a notice for this on whre the "transition help" such are?

Will add an announcement on the Clan THW channel when I get home.

IcemanBo · Jun 18, 2016

Will probably be there.

Ash · Jun 18, 2016

GAME NIGHT, GAME NIGHT, PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT.

StoPCampinGn00b · Jun 18, 2016

Starts in 25 minutes!

Personal map suggestion:
World Domination (strategy map that could be non-competitive and lulzy. Not sure if it fits though)
Uther Party
Elimination Tournament

Statharas · Jun 18, 2016

Ele TD, that Ent map, Werewolf?

Ash · Jun 18, 2016

I wouldn't mind Gais Retaliation, I've never played it before. However, that probably limits the amount of games we can play so maybe we can do that some other time?

StoPCampinGn00b · Jun 19, 2016

Thank you @Ash @kari0003 @WaterKnight @Noctosphere @GeNeViEvE @IcemanBo @Statharas @MiniMage @Pinzu @TheGoldenGoblin @McFace @Wareditor @StoPCampinGn00b and whoever else I missed for coming.

It's pretty much ended with 3 left online. Those were some fun discord shenanigans too =)

Maps played were:
Legion TD
Pain's Party
Orcs vs Elves
Worm War
Elimination Tournament
Battle of Flags
Heroes and Empires
Stronghold TD
and a map or two that I missed.

Wareditor · Jun 19, 2016

It was really fun but we lost too much time to Heroes and Empires. I think a better idea would be to prepare a list of maps to play before the event so we don't loose time between games and we don't stumble into hours long map that can leave behind some players

Ash · Jun 19, 2016

It was great fun! Heroes and Empires went on for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time, three hours. Weow.

Looking forward to the next one!
