Let me know if this cancellation is your final decision.

I think "< you all" should be pretty clear.
you all" should be pretty clear.Well there you have it. idol seems to think everyone should treat him like some sort of god, and when he couldn't buy everyone's respect, he got pissed. A lot of people were thinking he wouldn't go through with it anyways. We could just quit the contest or replace the prizes with something else. It's up to you guys.
On another note, our friends over at Blizzforums.com are holding a new contest each month. This month the contest is map making: Click here for more information. Prizes are "recognition and bragging rights." There isn't anything stopping you from submitting your map for MM2004 to this contest, except, the contest ends December 1st.
Sorry for the late news item, I should have had this up 2 days ago ;/.

This is rediculus, Idol, you need to grow up. I think the map contest should remain in progress and we comeup with some diff prizes, or hell, no prizes at all. Having a contest will affect the community posatively pushing mappers to test their limits. I vote the contest remains! And I am DISGUSTED with Idols attitude.

I'm voting we keep up the competition, too. I'm trying to enter with a really detailed map, and I've got a feeling that if we call off the contest, I'll never be able to discipline myself to finish it.

Oh well, let's think of the replacement of the prize... How about the judges use their minerals as the prize ? 
Well... otherwise you can win triumph if you win the contest.

Great Idea, and map making skill set to Uber. Maybe a special section in the DLDB for that creators other maps.

You could make a map hall of fame, and have the winner's map be the first to be placed in it.
And the @staredit.net e-mails for the next to best maps.

A lot of people do not care about an Email address at Staredit.net nor, "Minerals" or "Uber - Level" because they wanted the cash involved. Did iDol ever actually show off these "prizes" so that we knew he wasn't lying?

That was very ing biased, Isolated, you didn't quote it all and you didn't even explain my side; alls I said was Salacious and others seem to get away with flaming others, yet I get into trouble, and if you would have handeld that problem, I would have been happy to keep contribtuing to the community, my point is VERY good and clear: why shell out almost $500 to a group of pricks? And you just blew it off like whatever. Well screw it, I don't/won't put up with this. I don't play StarCraft anymore and I dont care.
And besides, what the hell do you think PRIVATE messages are?

Sorry to see this happen.
When the contest was first announced, the community really bought into it, and everyone who thought he had even the slightest mapping skill was ready to give it a shot. Even if it turns out to be a stillborn attempt at revitalizing the community, it gave some people the impetus to really try to do something great. I support the idea of continuing the contest despite dimished prize packages.
I don't care if it was chicanery on idoL's part; it did the community some good. Show him some respect for starting it up. Sorry, but IP's quotes and commentary have a certain sickening degree of bias that compels me to side with idoL on this.

Actually the $500 would have gone to the winners of the contest, whether they were this "group of pricks" or not. So saying that your reason for not giving this prize money is due to people who may not win (or even enter) the contest is pretty ed up in its own way.
And sure, its a private message, but it was important that the community knew about this. It would have been much worse if a winner was declared and no one but isolated knew about your quitting, and when it comes time for them to recieve the prize money and it wont come then you'll look like even more of an . So I think him telling us was a good thing.
Oh and thanks for posting about our contest at BlizzForums, isolated!

Things like this are funny. If i were Salacious, i would be proud of pissing you off to such a degree. It only makes you look bad when you take the actions of so few, so personally.
PS. The contest would be a good way to bring back map of the month. Other than money, what motivates most mapmakers is recognition. Staredit.net is a very popular site and having a map publicly supported by the site is quite a prize in itself. Map of the month is a great idea, previously it was just yoshi’s pick but if we tried we could put up a monthly contest and judge the new maps every month.

Yeah quick question:
When idoL was in Oo. (as Oo.SnaKe.oO) he proposed a set of contests with similar prizes and the winner was Oo.HackeY.oO, only instead of sending HackeY the prize money after he won one of the contests, idoL started spouting HackeY's personal information (like his name and address) to everyone he could. So how are you so sure he's reliable for this one?
