Unlocking thread this thread is about fun... The mystery of what the game is and so on
Fun?. Really?. Really?
Mystery..Hmm.. Lets see. I dont think anyone gives a crap. Like Mozared metioned somewhere. Throwing mysterious names/symbols around with a lackluster show for it, Is foolish. Only you kids would still be amused on this "mystery". I mean, TMA, Is the name a mystery too???. Haha
I somehow doubt this God`s gift to the custom game`s list and I cant wait to laugh when all this intrigue and hype fails it. That picture on the front page. Right, Some heroes with some Zany names. Righto....@_@

Anyway. Have "fun". Lol.
foolish? foolish that its the only news posts that actually gets comments each time? Foolish that people are actually wanting to see a new map on bnet now while wondering what it really is and how good its going to be? thats not foolish at all. thats stuff we just dont see right now... foolish is being negative about something positive, which is this thread.
edit: plus ... I havnt even been on sc2 sense the patch hit..and before that another month+. I have no reason to get on the game itself, there are no maps that I want to play day after day like back in the day. I get on every blue moon when I see someone make a map that just looks cool. what sixen has done with this, has given me a reason to look forward to logging on sc2 at some point to try this game, bad or not. And it seems like its the same as other, Bad game or not, their type of game or not, people are going to be trying this just due to how everything has been handled with it, and thats great.
False hope. Simply put. People are going to be in for disappointment in my opinion.
I want to see the gameplay(pictures or videos) or a teaser trailer or anything other than stupid symbols and pictures and crap.
How do I know this map will even be in a favorite genre of mine?? Hmm??
Dota/Arena/Hybid/Rpg/Wtf?? Huh?
What type of map is it? Ooh...We dont know.. its a mystery and I must care...
Or is this supposed to appeal to everyone?. Hahaha. Thats where you people get it fked up. No map can appeal to everyone and its moronic to thus advertise it this way.
Nah. I dont have time to spend being curious and intrigued over such a ridiculous way of hyping an unknown map. Next big thing?...Yea right...
This whole thing is stupid.
I can see the point of both. People should still be free to discuss the topic, though, and if everyone gets back on-topic, this thread can be used for it.
He's got a point, all he has shown after all this hype is stock models that appear in just about every MOBA on the custom game list already, he just gave them cute names and made random symbols on a picture. There is no gameplay footage, screenshots, which would be the best way to hype it up. Not a mystery game with lackluster clues.

But thats the best way to get hype. if you show content itself, people that dont care for that kind of game, right away no longer care about it... this way even if its not there type of game.. the "questions" they have wll make them a bit more interested in going. Crazy mysterious viral video for movies worked this way for years, it works GREAT sometimes and fails other times, however, its already working in this case.. thats already a proven fact (hints the comments in all the news posts) this was a great strategy for getting the map out there, you cant argue that. How it will do in the long run..well yeah, thats anyones guess, but this is given it the shot it needs for sure.

Its neither mysterious nor viral, its just an icon slapped together in Photoshop (or GIMP, or whatever editor you use) with no meaning, no relevant association. If someone casually browsed across the internet and stumbled across a meaningless icon with "It's coming" as the subtitle...they'd probably go "huh? whatever." and close it.
Viral videos are viral because they offer some content that give people a reason to look at them.
This, is just ...well to be honest its nothing. The thread says "discuss TMA" but there's nothing to discuss. It looks to be an arena game. We'll see if its any good or not, but from the looks of the fact there's a small handful of comments on the actual reveal, no one is catching the virus.
Also this crab thing blocks the reply button, SC2M is becoming full of fail lately.
Meh, might as well post something useful. Names on the pic are deciphered, going in a clockwise direction starting from the top left
å“žå“ž ( This pretty much translates to 'Moooooo' ... really )

Well I do see some 'elements' in there, meaning it should still be a counter-type arena game
edit : All I'm wondering is why there're chinese characters on it and why the english names all have different fonts
Well congratulations, a dozen people are hyped up to find out what the mystery is. Keep in mind that SC2M's visitors are primarily just mappers, you aren't going to make a map popular by posting it here alone, especially if you're looking to hype it up. You want to target custom game PLAYERS. Not mappers.

lets see, he could have just posted the video here, and even those mappers woulda been like, oh, another video.
at least this way theres a dozen more people interested than before. [Also check out the hits per those new posts...].
Noone saying this is perfect...ect. the point is, THIS WORKED. as in more people than otherwise are now interested. thats all that matters, even if its just 1 more person, thats still 1 person over 0.

If you say so. I'd rather see a video, the picture just makes it less interesting to me.
Lets cook it and see what Ghostcrawlers little brother tastes like!

Locking this thread. Its original purpose is now forfeit.
If you want to discuss project TMA. Create a new thread.

So this thread has gone from 'What is it?' to 'Whats the best way to hype this mystery thing that nobody knows about yet'?

The OP changed the topic from what is it to "discuss project TMA" part of project TMA is its mystery and how it was hyped.
