Map makers all have their rights, and those rights should be respected.


You say have "their rights" no you dont really.. If blizzard thoguht that "map makers" would need there rights" Blizzard would of made map protection THEN yea you have rights if someone took your map, but since blizzard did not invent the map protection the people did you dont have rights. You just want to stop people from learning and making a mockery out of your map and say you have right since you protected it...

Your all narrow minded and simple headed to not relise change happens, and sometime for good reasons.

Map making is like sex, its best when unprotected!

After the recent shocking even I'm starting to see certain connection between thinsg happening. Let's have a little summary about recent events.

  • #1 OSMAP released, big protection campaign started.
  • #2 Devilesk got banned for linking OSMAP.
  • #3 Devilesk started to fight with certain people on Bnet.
  • #4 People got banned from op sen.
  • #5 1st hack, Shocko's account. Signed by devilesk.
  • #6 Clan (U) recruites Devilesk.
  • #7 2nd hack, your and IP's accounts. Signed by devilesk.
  • #8 3rd hack, IP's account. No signs.
  • #9 Devilesk gains a high status in clan (U), he can now recruit new members.
  • #10 LW's confesion.

Now even without deep research I can see that all these things float around clan (U).

#1, LW was taking part in the campaign as a "protection" specialist. He used our trust in order to steal our new protection methods and update OSMAP.

#2, Devilesk got quite too far into this. I don't know why exactly but it sure looks weird.

#3, Now this looks like devilesk.

#4, As I stated before only 2 people should have access to the bot, Cheeze and LW. At first I though that LW couldn't done that because he seemed a trustable person. But now, it's like BOOM, it must have been him. Looks like he doesn't have problems with having devilesk in his clan either.

#5, Looks like devilesk had a certain problem with Shocko. God knows what's in between them.

#6, Considering that LW(probably) did team up with devilesk. He didn't have a problem to have him in clan (U). The whole terrorist faction is there. LW, MindArchon and devilesk. All high members.

#7, Well, as we all know if he do it once, he'll do it again. But this time he left a rather odd note about you. I don;t know what under it but he did quite some harm. This time it looked pretty much planned out. Also he deleted my anti-OSMAP toppic.

#8, This looked like completely different guy. He didn't left devilesk sign. But still he coused some harm with merging topics. maybe some guy just saw that it's hell of a easy to hack SEN. Who knows.

#9, Devilesk becomes a recruiter. I guess he is resonable enough to recruit new terrorists. tongue.gif

#10, I have no idea why did LW confess. But he certainly knew that he would loose his status. Maybe he couldn't take the presure. Maybe there was someone who knew about OSMAP and even about hacks and everything. Maube this person told LW that he will tell it to you. God knows.

As you see, this whole mess floats around clan (U). I bet you can get out some more info doing some deeper research. But in any way, keep an eye on them.

Oh joy! Now there's an idea! Let's help our already ailing UMS community by throwing out a quarter of it's best mappers on unfounded, circumstantial conspiratorial charges. Genius!

You know, even if it is true, it's thinking like this that's causing this mess. I won't presume to know how or when this anti-SEN sentiment came along, but seriously: Drop it. There's nothing to gain from this nonsense except to harm what's left of the community. Unless that's your excuse to cop out of it, then I suggest you find a better outlet for your frustration.

Devilesk has already been banned. LW has been demoted. Don't you think that's enough already?

(U) is almost a historical part of the mapping community. SEN may (should) have principles against abusive stuff like unprotection, but putting itself before another part of the map making community simply because of sentiments isn't going to accomplish anything helpful. Same goes for (U).


Just think back to that song. smile.gif

ADDITION:
*sigh* I'm probably just being a bliss ninny in all of this. There might be some injustice going on or legitimate reasons for things... heck if I know. But take a look at the bigger picture: UMS community thus far has been steadily diminishing. And with it, I'm sure people's patience as well. But think for a second: What's keeping us here then?

Continuity. Or rather, the promise of it. So far, we've endured over 8 frickin years of waiting on that promise. That alone is a marvel in and of itself. And now, it seems Blizzard may finally be about to do something for a change, if recent news is anything to speculate by.

I say we put this all aside, and wait it out just a little bit longer. When the time finally comes we get our promised continuity, SC will no doubt see a resurgence. Then our waiting will pay have paid off, and with new blood and new interest, things'll no doubt come back to life again like they used to. Maybe I'm being naive, but I still think there's a light at the end of this tunnel yet.


There's no sense tearing ourselves up before then, though.

Amen. We must forget our stupid "You're not thinking the way I am". Sure, those who support protection may hate LW now, but let's face it: He did it only because he wanted to help. Why did he harm your interests ? Because he doesen't think like you, thus, he is not you. Face the simple truth: all humans are different. In other words, you hate him just because we all are different.

So just forget this crap and do what you did for 8 years:

Hell, I wanted to release the truth about OSMAP earlier. Why? Because reading threads like this cracks me up. Actually, we ended up telling random people about OSMAP: Devilesk, Kenoli, etc. Legacy probably told the truth for one of two reasons:
  • He likes funny drama
  • He lost faith/wanted to quit SEN

Honestly, I think its the second one. All of you are morons.

Blatantly stating random positions on OSMAP, about how its "good" and "bad", linking (U) to terrorist organizations? It's neither, its a god damn program.

All of your points on whether unprotection is good or bad are completely void. Why? Because honestly, whether you protected it or unprotected it, it will not make a difference. How many public "mappers" on battle.net will open your map IF they downloaded it and played it? How many times will it be stolen? Or rigged?

Almost none.

People on SEN might however, but in most cases the map will be unprotected or the data will be available to the public? Hell, I LIKE open source mapping, but it is honestly not necessary. OSMAP is generally NOT used for learning. Wait, if it wasn't designed to steal maps, learn from maps, or to rig maps...

What the hell is OSMAP's purpose? Think about it.

I don't protect my maps (when i do complete them) i dont care if someone wants to steal my work and say it as there own. Infact that would make me feel good to think someone likes my map and wants to call it there own or just to open the map and learn from it (If theres anything in there they want they can have)
Sounds, Music, Triggers, Anything its open for them..

So LW made this OSmap thingy? Why get your nikkers all in a knot? It was bound to happen sooner or later IF NOT by LW by someone else maybe not even from SEN then where would you be?

Im only saying my view but thats what i think...

Also I would like to add that most people who are against protection, have not made any big maps. Like LW, yoshi, devilesk, Captain will or those random hobos. None of them are real big mapmakers. They don't know what is it to spend months working your ass off to make a decent map. they just don't know how it is...

Some people don't give some money to a homeless person on the street thinking "I worked my ass off for that money", while some give money freely and don't bug their head with crap like "I bend my back at work every day for that money".

If a person wants to steel your map, let him, and laugh at how pthetic he is. Probably he is a child and it will be easy for you to humiliate him publically.

Oh and about "working you ass off". I made my first ever to be released map (Lightning Bound) within 3 months. It was huge work for me because I was a noob that had to learn on his own mistakes all the time. So if you look at the work done, it's like this:

My bound = Your GTA Classic. Funny, isn't it ?

Some may work for 1 month and be pissed when somebody steals their map, but others may work for 3 months and not be pissed when somebody steals their map.

I'm making a map (as you might know) right now. And I fear that some noob will make it disbalanced. But I don't care if someone steals it. (Oh and I will protect it also to compress.)

And you know what I don't care about it being stolen ? Because people that will play the stolen version will not have ANY effect of my life, and they are nothing to me. And if they like the map, well, good for them and good for me.

It all sums up to this:

If you care about morons on b-net and what they think about you, support protection. The only place where your work will be rated is SEN or any other map-making site. And the DB serves and ultimate proof that you made the map.

The point is that when maps are rigged people lose intrest in them. I said this before but if I could upload my download folder the majority of things in there are maps that have been rigged (not by me but by others). For example.

Cat N mouse is the biggest off set map in the history of map making. Were ever you go, whatever you build its the one that is rigged. There is NO FAIR version there just rigged by people who want to P*ss of people.

Also Hero Arena. Is the biggest target of all. Every version has a rigg. It should be in the guiness worlds record for the most Rigged units off all time.

First it was Dominoe (vulture). Then it was Genji lvl1 (reaver) and then even Ninja (ghost) and all the others. Go on to Bnet right now and download a hero arena ffa version and play with the full house. There is a rigged unit in every version.

So were does protection come in? If the very first or 2nd version of hero arena was protected we wouldnt of had over 25 versions of the dang thing.

Also madness games are the last one that is the biggest Rigged Genre of Starcraft.
Play family guy madness Peter or stewie is rigged. Play super smash madness mario or ice climbers are rigged or even futurama madness were amy and the professur have 9999hp.

So think about this. Without protection our favourite maps would go down the drain just as we know it. If uber Arena is rigged then life as we know it would just fall apart but thats why Moose and DT_BK said submit maps to different websites so when instantly someone riggs it and someone joins the game they would know that map will suck.

(wow people must be making a profit of minerals in this topic biggrin.gif)
