As I'm noticing more folks starting up their own review team, I'd like to throw out an idea I've had for a long time: a review team.
I Need:
5-7 individuals who can be online to play custom games with me. You can already have a review channel/thread or not, doesn't matter.
The Plan:
Step 1: pick 2 custom maps
While a schedule isn't nailed down yet, the goal is to review 2 custom maps per session. Doesn't matter what maps we pick, but they can't be on Page 1-5. We are going to find those hidden gems and show them to the world >:D
Step 2: play several games
I'm not much for the "first look" type of review. While that will be addressed in the review, I want to get to know the map well enough to explain it to others. We're going to be picking relatively unknown maps so it's important we shine a bright light on it so that people know where to find it in the attic.
Step 3: play a review game
While I'm going to record everything (just video, no voice chat), the bulk of the video will be a brief walkthrough of the game. This is where anyone who wants to make their own walk through can do so because everyone will be "following the rules" to allow for quality review material.
Step 4: post-game group review
The last thing we'd do before wrapping up would be to record a conference call where we quickly summarize what each of us liked/disliked. After quickly giving our thoughts we'd answer a list of questions (Example: Would you play this game again? etc) and then give our personal rating for the map. The average of our scores would be our "group rating" for the video. I'd then provide links to your channel/thread where you can post your own review in your style.
The Video Format:
Intro > Map Info > Review Game > Group Review > Final Verdict > Links and Outro
Requirements:
In order to take part in this you need to meet the following criteria:
Access to NA Server
Have Skype AND can talk with mic/headset
At least 18 years old (For serious yo!)
Active member of SC2Mapster
Willing to share personal information (Your actual name, possibly phone number as well)
Final Words:
If you're thinking this is just some fun thing to do from time to time, I'd recommend you start your own reviews. As I've been saying for a very long time, I'm not happy with the current popularity system. This is one of the many ways I want to help alleviate some of the problems caused by it. I'm looking for serious people that will be reliable and are wiling to work with a group for what could be a long period of time.
If that's not you. . . then GTFO mah thread!
If you are interested, shoot me a PM with the subject:
I've been wanting to join in on something like this. Hit me up. My work schedule is changing to 1P - 12A but I'll have tue, wed, thu off. I have a mic and am well over 18. I really want to get something going, so even if it's just me and you Prozaic, I don't care.
If this works out how I'd like I'll be purchasing a 2nd copy of SC2 so that I can sneak on over to the EU server. The NA limitation is only because I can't access EU's server at this point in time :*(
Then we could make a new team or just add you friendly folk to the roster ;)

"I Can Haz Review Panel?"
Hi I can be the guy that says everything sucks. Every good review team needs one.
I can be the guy that says that Mephs is a retarded troll and ask him to shut up. Every good review team needs one.
I can be the guy to positively contribute to this.
@Vexal: Go
I can be the guy that demands flying flaming cars that explode...... every team needs one...
I can be the guy.
I wanna be the guy
*epic facepalm*
Clearly you guys really don't want your maps to ever make it above page 5 lol
I tried. . .
Bump for 2nd chance. Don't disappoint me :P
I do not have a mic, but I would lend some time to this endeavor.
I have a mic and would like to be on a panel.
I meet all of the criteria. My microphone isn't the greatest now but I can fix that by buying a new headset (I need one anyway.)
I can has panelz?
BTW, I can see this being successful in podcast form as well (without video.) Just a thought.
Me.
You get Me, Mephs and Rodrigo in the chat channel together and then see the fireworks.

Seems us Europeans will just have to make a bigger, better, stronger review panel.
