Thanks alex! Unfortunately we are in the process of contacting a first group, but I've added your name to the list of volunteers who will be contacted if/when we need replacements or when we get a second team up and running.

All others are free to add your names here - we hope to get as many folks involved in this as possible.

gimil was preparing an announcement, but then he up and took off for a vacation. I'll try to post something shortly.

Oh dear, whitesatazn88, you don't wanna be on the B team with me.
I understand though what you're saying...

Hi mapper,

Despite the recent handing in of our CA badges, the two of us haven't ended our quest to make the foundry ever better in a continually evolving Conquer Club. Recently you may have noticed our plan for a map incubator experiment. We heard from many interested parties, both foundry veterans and new faces, who took an interest in participating. Unfortunately we couldn't take everyone for this first; we tried to put together a group that had a range of experience levels, ranks, and points of view. Those of you that didn't get picked still may have a chance to play your part in the future - either to replace members who need to drop out, or in future teams.

Now without further ado, here is the very first Map Incubator Team (MIT):

1. Oaktown
2. Gimil
3. The.killing.44
4. Sailorseal
5. Lancehoch
6. Bruceswar
7. Lokisgal
8. Hwhrhett
9. S3xt0y
10. GrimReaper.

The role of this team will be to follow a selection of map development threads within the foundry from start to finish, providing consistent and high quality feedback throughout the process. They will collectively discuss what it will take for a map to achieve its next stamp, and guide the mapmaker in that direction. The team will be working closely with the Cartography Assistants and Stampers to maintain the Foundry's high standards and expectations.

Should this initial experiment be successful we will look into expanding this experiment to involve more teams. We will also consider the possible advantages that such a team approach to mapmaking and feedback could have for the foundry at large.

So lets welcome our first incubator team!

Happy mapping,
gimil and oaktown

Oak if you're looking for B team members let me know I'm always willing to help out although I have no idea how to do any graphic stuff.

The question is which map is subject to the first Incubator? That's missing from the announcement in my opinion.

[the.killing.44]

Japan
Flanders
Goblin Tribes
First Nations

I think I'm allowed to say that?
.44

[oaktown]

Japan
Flanders
Goblin Tribes
First Nations

I think I'm allowed to say that?
.44

Of course - I mentioned this in each of the threads, but failed to include it here. Thanks '44.

I volunteer to help incubate! I have little to no experience foundrying and am lovely and supportive to all.

[sailorc]

I'll do it.

I'm fairly new here but I plan on getting more involved in the foundry. I'm getting photoshop 6.0 today, maybe after I learn how to use it I could help others

i suppose cairns and i would make a solid foundation for the b-team lol

That's nicely positive isn't it?
