impossible I guess, even so SC has 12players in the editor, it is impossible in the game to choose those anyhow.

Then why the hell are so many players added? I undarstand the purpose of the neutral player (player 12) but player 9+10+11...?

I've heard Blizzard had planned to make StarCraft games up to 8+ players at once, but they decided to make it for only 8. That information isn't official, so I don't guarantee anything.
BTW, the 12th player is neutral. That player owns all geysers, minerals, animals (birds, tigers and so on...). I don't know what kind of work players from 9 to 11 do. Maybe they're just unused.
I've also heard they can be used for buildings (computer only) because they're not able to move their units. Again, that is unofficial information.

So players were able to play Starcraft Beta on bnet right? I remember like some months ago, well is it possible for them to run a mod on bnet too? That way they could mod SC for 12 players.

would be kind of cool if you could actually play with 12 players. but youd probably get map max pretty fast :/

If you want UMS, get SCMDraft2.
Otherwise, it's not possible.

This hacker I knew could make every new player 'dissapear' when in game lobby and the same chat could have even 20 players... Though the game was buggy when the game started, and he never bothered to push the experiment further.

In theory, it might be possible but it needs advanced hacking and quite a bit of work.

Isn't it just because there are no maps that have 12 start locations?

Though this might not be it, as on Iccup one day I tried playing a game with someone, but I forgot to turn it to "One on One" instead of "Use Map Settings" and I started on bottom right of the screen... In python.

I guess that's because of observers' locations. ^^

#13 yup.

and starting locations is not it, its pretty much inside starcraft that there can only be 8 players, (probably only 8 start locations too) and thus you need hacking to get more. Really advanced hacking.
