Yea, i like new ideas when it comes to melee maps, but this isn't a good idea at all, no offense. Plus, no one would play it because there's the money map newbs, who only play at the fastest possible ever maps, then there's the people that actually play real melee, and i dont think they would like this idea too much.
ihatatt just made the point that convinces me. All those "stop money maps" BS just make me angry, but will not make me change my mind. But the ebay-over-minerals thing is a real problem, you could just go 11 ebay and the game is pretty much over. I never seen that on fastest (I dont play them that often, but one or two public newbbashs from time to time), but that would work there the same way.
Only way to prevent that is by don't stacking the minerals, but just put them near the main. Well right now weather is too good to waste time making half-money maps;)
Rofl, I've seen that ebay over minerals trick before, and it was HILARIOUS.
