I think the worst map stealer of all time was LoserNewbie. He stole my The Bait map, renaming it Protect BOB.

[CK Edit: Stop with the use of Homosexual Taunts or i'll raise your warning level]

Well Raging_Raptor stole some of MaThRiX(U)'s maps, and Archn did a lot of unprotecting when SCUnprotect came out. All map stealers are gay though. Especially those of them that rig maps like Golems or Zerg blood. I just plain old hate it.

the worst ones are anyone who steals maps..cause they are too newbish to even try and make something good, all they could think off was ripping offf someone's map and becomeing "cool" even though most of the sc populus had already played that map by the original

Are you the worst if your simply and idiot and try to steal stupid maps or don't cover it up. Or are you the worst if your a 'good' map stealer and people don't realize you stole the map and there are almost no traces of the original creator?

I think the worst is a map stealer who has gotten rid of the original creator's name and named it their own.

Then there would be people rigging your map to make it more "fair" or "better"

Then there are those who steal map ideas and remake their own map with someone elses idea.

He also stole Tux's Kill Me map i think. And lots of others as well

moved to garbage

Tux's Kill Me map was unprotected. You act as if you're surprised it got stolen.

lol, I wasn't. But all said and done, I'm glad I left it unlocked because people really learned a lot from it.

Maybe I'll do something balsy and leave A&O unlocked too! Not like anyone could really steal that since it's pretty damn well known...

If some one did try to steal your map then you damn well no that the person really did steal it cuase theirs no way hes able to make it himself. and with the tirggers so complicated so it would be stupid if some one really thought of it.
I mean come on like 65% of bnet ums users know about this map!

well arent the people who rigg maps trying to make them better for them?

Riggers are the worst map editors ever. I really don't see the purpose to rig a map. How is it fun when you just dominate everyone else without a challenge. They must just really like making people mad i guess.

The worst map stealer is Raging_Raptor

FLAMING

2 words...
Calm Down.

(Except on the raptor part)

You act as if no one else would be able to produce anything Tux could, and thats not true, he just has different ideas. If he left it open, i could view how the triggers work, and design a map myself, from the bottom up, using things from his map, and not effectively stealing anything.

But it wouldn't be my idea in hte first place for objects. Thats what he has done.

YOU DT_Battlekruser! WHY THE U DELETED MY DAMN POST WTF IS THAT?

Now that we know how to prevent hex stealing

2 words, you.

The topic's title is "the worst map maker of all time", not "what do you think about map stealers".

People who steal maps are idiots, period, I thought that was pretty clear for all to see. They personally have like no knowledge on how to make maps and personally I don't know where they get satisfaction for doing it anyway; I make my own maps to have others play it, knowing that the map is a demonstration of my personal skills and et cetera.

Bad map makers lurk in every nook and cranny on B.net, making maps that don't work at all. They're actually just newbs who don't know about SEN and other mapping communities and syphon our time from playing worthwhile games. Examples of poorly made maps... one that I played, called "Protect the Gate", lasted about 5 minutes at FULL HOUSE. The players had only 1 measly, sucky unit trying to stop an onslaught of Zealots who kill in about 4 hits. What's even more sad is that the creator of the game (not the map) named it "Impossible?" and kept remaking after dying.

Bugs in maps aren't exactly bad, sometimes even funny. I just finished playing "The Day After Tomorrow", basically the exact same as Volcano Run, except a bit harder. Anywho, I got near the end of the map, where the last remaining person pylon-hopped all the remaining obstacles and waited for me to finish. However, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get past the second-to-last obstacle. Seeing Zerglings pouring down, I noticed that they were all lined up to the right side of the passage. Seeing a chance, I ran like hell BACK where the Zerglings were, sticking to the left side of the passage. Only 3 Zerglings followed me, 2 then gave up, so I only had to worry about 1 Zergling following me; meanwhile, all the other Zerglings are destroying the remaining obstacles. So I ran back and after a while just made a sudden about-face and charged back toward the finish line again, this time all the obstacles cleared. Funny thing, all the other Zerglings were removed, and even though I almost died a horrible death... I won the game! ò.ô

Overall, I guess what I'm trying to say is... newbs are alright. Map stealers are the stupid ones.

MaThRiX(U) has the right to be in fury. His map that he worked really hard on was stolen. New rule :

"When talking about people stealing maps you are allowed to flame the person who stole a map"

Well there is one person who sucks at map making and I really hate him because he thinks his maps are so cool (Not SC masta) but, meh

The gayest map stealer was E(S)Psycho he took my bound saying it was his...I spent like 15 weeks working on that map just for some one to steel it and say its theres...Some times i wish i could go through the computer and kill them

i'ts "Whose the worst map maker or stealer of all time"

It was probabally edited.

The worst map maker would be me cuz when i was a newbie i always rigged maps and play them so i could beat them but i only play offline on them! And when i began learning on maps i has problems on triggers so i stole triggers and used them on my map to improve my map. I feel a shame on myself
