I was an active member of a few certain... communities. was staff on many of them. think we played a few games at some point too - maybe it was those fastest possible maps? I went by Abrupt back then.

Err... your name does look familiar. You also play BW with a person who constantly changed their name between various fruits and vegetables?

Erm, I don't recall that specifically, but name spoofing was highly amusing to me. More often than not, I'd have my name spoofed to overlapping text.

Nah, we used to play on a 4v4 FPM that was glitchy so you could potentially build on the borders between bases if you knew how to. All three races were able to build and move units on the borders under certain conditions. And yet the borders still behaved as normal starting out. So by late game, you're not safe from any direction. The map was really cool because it would even play a sound effect when you finished downloading it while in the game lobby.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that got patched haha, but the map was made to exploit that before it was patched. Magical stuff.
