I was think about this idea for a long time, I don't know if its done before so I'll explain it anyway, I know there are many problems with the plan but just keep reading.
I propose that we collectively work on a map, the the maximum a person can work on it is 24 hours after which they post it here, from then someone else takes over for 24 hours or however much they feel like. oh course the map need some theme so I propose an rpg. all you do is keep adding on to what is there and the things that you did will be stored in the comment of a trigger called "log". you can delete things other have done, but try not to as they probably like what they did otherwise they wouldn't have, if someone takes too long their work is forfeited and someone else continues from the last version. once a person is done they post here, its simple. so are you people up to it? even if you are working on a map this will be fine as you can work on it as long as you want so you could just add a unit and be done, hopefully this will turn out alright. so if you think this is a good idea go ahead and some one start post a a beganing map

If you do this, ideas will conflict alot. But use TFT if anything.

Interesting idea but the confliction of ideas could cause the map to turn out bad.

But I say go for it. Seems like it might be fun.

Instead of making a finished map why dont you try to make a game engine or part of one. Something like a advanced TD, AOS or RPG engine that ppl could modify into whatever they want. This way it will become a question of technical methouds not artistic taste. No terrain or modfying of units would be needed except for adding game functions.

It could include may of the most asked about functions like leaderboards and dialogs. So it could be used as a large tutorial as well as a base map engine.
