Hey everyone!
Recently on stream, I was proposed the idea of starting a series along the lines of "Map(s) of the Month" for tf2rjweekly. In this series, I would be making a teaser video for each map (put into one video), accompanied by a map pack with all showcased maps. This series wouldn't be limited to being a monthly format, as I'm not entirely sure that our community of mappers is consistently prolific enough to allow for a set monthly maps. Issues/questions like these are part of why I made this thread. I'd like to gauge what you guys think about the prospect of it, how it could influence the community, and tell me if it's something that you guys would like to see.
Another more long term addition to this could be making a video for a "map of the year," which could either be added onto a "maps of the month" series or be standalone.
On top of this, another thing that was suggested during the original discussion was to allow non-rjweekly editors to get their own showcases of maps on the channel, which I think is a really good idea. My current idea is that if it's of at least passable quality (ex: the showcase for jump_ouryoku), then putting it on the channel is fine. It could help bring up new editors and allow for greater community engagement, so I like the idea.
If you guys like these ideas, or would like to contribute to them, please make a post in this thread!
