I have a few propositions (small !) that I think would do a number of positive things for the WDL and Doom community at large
Basically, we are not realizing our potential by using only 1 wad and 32 maps. -- Doom CTF maps have been around for 15+? years now, there are hundreds, and we are limiting ourselves to 32. The 32 that are in have been deemed the "best" , "most popular". And dont get me wrong, they are there for a reason and are all top quality maps. But we know there are COUNTLESS other great maps that should see competitive play.
Im proposing that every season, 1 week should be played on a map OUTSIDE of wdl2016.wad . This could be from any ctf wad---
OR EVEN BETTER, any map that is proposed to the WDL.
The idea is to entice the mapping community into making maps for WDL. So we will
- keep our 32 map wad, and continue to make changes as fits
- every season an auxilliary map pool is made, call it "season 6 auxiliary map pool" for example. It would be a pool of maps submitted by mappers, or maps with popular support
- 1 submitted map from the auxiliary pool is chosen to be in the regular season
- maps that do not make it in the regular season are still available as homefield picks
and on a smaller note
- proposing the ability to CHANGE your homefield pick if you reach the Championship. So you made the playoffs eh ? Great job, pick any map you please.. Wait whats this? You made the final ??? Feel free to pick again if you so please you fucking sexy beast
Ideally you would have a never-before-seen, quality map(s) being showcased at the WDL every season. WDL WOULD BE EXTRA SPICY
Oh and you wouldn't even have to change server :) Odamex rules!
