Random Map Picker revised!

Dear Community,

In this update the Random Map Picker has undergone heavy reconstruction, partially to ease the difficult question "which maps are safe to play now?" and partially to expand the scope of our known map world. For those of u who didnt notice it yet, u can browse with your mouse over the map-preview to see which maps can be picked by the following sets.

The short story which maps are safe can be easily answered:

"Conservative" which includes all the maps u have known so far - safe.

"All" contains the conservative batch plus SOME HAND PICKED, EXTREMELY IMPROVED, NEW AND BALANCED MAPS. this means, this map pack is intended for LADDER PLAY, and is considered - SAFE.

The "Prototype" batch contains maps that were not exposed to the public eye much, and could need improvement, this is why they are not in the ALL map pack yet - we simply dont know yet how well balanced they are. We give the map creators a great opportunity to work on those maps so that they might reach safe status in the future.

In this context i want to point out that using any older (and other - those are ancient!!) map pack than "Random Map Picker 1.8.11" is not allowed. you guys want to win fair and square, so dont use the old versions to pretend fairness. It would be nice of YOU to tell people who are not up to date yet to stop using them.

Thank you,

Rigor
