JManV will now be taking on the US Map Night event and has given a little review on his thoughts and how the first event went. Despite some technical difficulties, it was a real success, especially for being the first night. EU Map Night also took place earlier that day, hosted by TheAlmaity. Map Nights are a great way to get your map some publicity as well as some testing if needed. It's a lot of fun and allows us, as an entire mapping community to come together for a few hours a week to enjoy ourselves.

Quote from jaminv: Go

Map night was a success! Many games were played, and we had a lot of fun.

I decided to do a live stream (having never done one before) a mere few hours before map night started. I suffered from a few technical difficulties, unfortunately, but we were able to stream live as well as record. However, I couldn't get the SC2 sound to capture, so the only sound is from my microphone. Also, I neglected to record until 3 games in, and the recording stopped after 3 hours. So the recording is a somewhat truncated version of what really occurred.

Still, I'll work to resolve these issues by next week so that we can have an even better event then! I'm gonna set up Ventrilo so people with a mic can join into the discussion.

As far as the turnout, it was a complete success! We actually had too many people show up, and some couldn't play for some games. We were still able to find a decent number of people to join the larger games, and as people left we were able to find others to join in. There was no shortage of people interested in playing. If this keeps up, we may need a secondary organizer to handle overflow games. If that person is willing to stream as well, even better!
