Default the new contest

hey. so i just realized something critical about the new contest.

how am i supposed to test my map?

it is supposed to be multi-player, so i would want to test it in a multi-player environment. and yet, i wouldn't want to include too many of the other contestants?

in other words. i need to test my map. and i don't want to host random Bnet games, but i don't think its right to test it with other contestants.

anyone got suggestions?

its not the bugs im worried about. its the legnth of gameplay the fun and how oftern certain interactions will occur that im worried about.

i want to make sure its also enjoyable/balanced and fun, not just bug free.

In that case you should either get some friends to play it with you, gather some clan members (aka contestants :s) or publicly host it on BNet. There really isn't any other choice.

To be honest I only played my minigame 1v1 with my little sister, to check whether it would be fun, and at least a bit close to balanced. I dunno what kind of map yours is, but usually you can check a lot with just 2 players.

I really don't think there will be much of a prob to test with contestants, minigames wil lbe diff after all and stealing ideas wont be too devastating
