aoczone didnt help when they dint make DM part of their tourneys.
I think DM will live.. but might not flourish until the above is rectified.
I regularly play DM at GR and have a nice group of 50-60 players who come out and play on and off.
Anybody is welcome to join us
learning DM is good for your RM skills. If all RMers knew DM, imp games would be much better played than it is now (atm even some 19+/2k are "noob" at imp compared to someone who plays DM too).
Maybe do more DM maps : take some FR maps and do it DM style, with all green, no sheep/hunt etc, would help to bring diversity
Ten years ago could you get all kind of fun maps and settings, now its 90% michi 20 min cut

11. Really? 20 minute cut in DM?
I agree, we need to incorporate it into our tournaments. It should have been in WCL. Not to include them in the community, but to chuckle at them behind their backs when they get beaten by RMers at their own game. And it's a fun setting which is different to the norm.
Touche !!! DM needs some new interesting maps designed for its game play. Its tiring to play GA/BA day in and day out. (though, I still love it )DM has been abandoned because there is little variety in the gameplay these days I think, so usually quite boring to watch.

I think the only way would be to add a small percentage of DM games into an RM tournaments. I know it didnt happen in WCL 7 despite 50% of the community voting for it to happen, but just try to bring it up again whenever a tournament is announced on aoczone. I think it is the only way to get lots of people to play DM, unless you can make your own tournament with a significant cash prize of course.
