Towards the end of the QF drama, Scorpio made two posts about maps and new content in general that I agreed with on some points and disagreed on with others. It got me thinking about NMW, but I was disappointed by the one NMW PUG that was held. Maybe it just needed some different people, though.
I still have the group, my own mumble server, and a 14-slot server (so no highlander, sorry kids) that won't expire until the 3rd. I can't really give any incentives except some hats/craft metal for hats/a strange for people to come and play, so it would be a totally volunteer thing. Is there any interest in reviving New Map Weekends for either fun or actual serious testing (or maybe both)?

I would be so down,NMWs was one of my favorite things to do on the weekends. Always happy to play and give feedback.

I'd love to get it started again, I really liked playing NMP. Being able to see a map evolve around suggestions from games you play in is always cool.

2cidk what nmw is
Short version: my sort-of no-name open team made a PUG group around Season 8 called New Map Weekends designed around playing some custom maps with a 6s theme for fun and testing if any would be viable introductions to a rotation. Nothing really came of it because it was mostly mid/high open players playing and those who were above didn't give a shit about actual map testing and just wanted to frag bads on a 6s class that wasn't their main. NMW is not New Map PUGs or whatever it was.

Yes, they are different, but have the same idea. Both failed for similar reasons. But they aren't the same. I started NMP because NMW died and I wanted to get them going again. I probably should have never been involved in NMW and I probably should have never started NMP since I am so inexperienced.
Would love to see NMW started again.
