[Official] Brazil REVAMP [Quenched]

[jiminski]

Perhaps if Marv were to relinquish his veto RJ might be more predisposed towards rejoining the process.

no offense on all the others but it looks like this site has lost its greatest map maker, this could easily have been avoided. The blame for this is not marvaddin's - it lays solely with team cc for the way that this and other events have been handled - hopefully rj's actions will be a wake up call although right now i am fairly pessimistic

hmmm i have been resisting replying to this, as bickering is not helpful in resolving this! But what is to lose really... some of the most beautiful and progressive maps ever to grace these forums have been taken away from us... and likely will not be back!

So, although the set-up of the competition (Agreement on veto etc and also the taking of the images to a broader vote) may have been a fairly major mistake.

If you give a jealous lover a gun, you may share culpability when he shoots his beautiful wife!... But the chap who pulls the trigger should take his share too!

Something Has Happened to the pictures

Yep, Rj took them down because he has stopped the revamping for now.

Sound bit like a vulture call over a fresh dead body, not very delicate from you Mjinga
At least could you ask the question without putting the image!

I thought it might seem that way, hence why I said:

I realise that this may seem like an unfeeling moment to say this, with respect to RJ, but...

and gave the reason why I thought it should be said anyway:

As I really really do not like marvaddin's one... no offence to him.

I’m not circling, I just see no reason why someone cannot take over for RJ. I presume he means what he says about leaving over with maps. If I left the foundry, I would mean it, and not come back. Therefore, why not get someone else to take over as soon as possible? It’s efficient.

if we're going to go with a different one, might as well use one of the other two finalists

I absolutely agree with you: I would rather see Oaktown pick it up than me. I did, however assume from his post that he was unwilling to work with the marvaddin veto and was therefore unlikely to try. I am willing to work within the veto, and I humbly put forth the opinion that this map, however inadequate compared to the other finalists, is better than the original.

I have an update almost ready to post. I've reworked the borders so they are flat. Marv wanted me to use this skeletal map, which I did. I hope to post the update soon, just been really busy with work.

Christ - the map veto knows NO bounds.

We've been communicating via PM. That's where he asked me to change the borders.

Does anyone know if the accent marks on Brazil territories need to be there if the letters are all capitalized?

Like that little "c" with the tail in Foz do Iguaçu
Would the little tail still be on the Capital "C"?

[yeti_c]

Is there such a glyph available?

I would suggest that it is not needed - as the accent should still apply capitalised of not?

Not sure how accents work in Portuguese, but you'd keep the accent in French for sure.

Ç
Latin capital letter C with cedilla
U+00C7

Don't know what the convention is, but the character does exist.
