I didn't want to derail Arctos' post more than I already did so I figured I would start my own. His thread is about people submitting maps - and I wanted to start one that talked about the format. (So we can have some segregation of discussion)
Some history:
-In 1999 trixter lobbied to change the league map and we all practiced on a different map for a bit. It didn't work, and people wouldn't accept it.
-In 2001 Sephiroso told the population to submit maps... guys like Arctos, hagetaga and Shuko all submitted maps. People practiced on them for a bit and people submitted their likes and dislikes. In the end it never ended up changing.
However, in the 2001 effort Operator suggested that league games rotate between two maps. One map being 'home' and one map being 'away'. Unfortunately, I think his suggestion was overlooked.
Here is the direct quote:
"<span style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;">Look at the schedule, and make each team have an even amount of home and away matches...
</span>
<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:Times;font-size:medium;">In home matches, the squad captain, at the time of the game, can pick which map the game is played on.."
<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:Times;font-size:medium;">
<p style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;">One of the maps could be the current league layout and the other can be a new one. OR we could take the current pro map and vertically flip it - so we have the same amount of structures and space but it still feels different. Additionally, if it was vertically flipped people could still anticipate things and know where they are but it takes an additional second or so to think about it.
<p style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;">
<p style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;">Thoughts?
