MAPMAKERS GUILD

Aspiring mapmakers can get overwhelmed with the task of creating a map all by themselves. Others just don't have time to keep updating a map with every detail requested by the Foundry. Still others don't have access to a good image editing program, or do not know how to start.

If you are interested in being a part of map creation, without the responsibility of an entire map hanging over your head, this is the group for you! We are a collection of part-time cartographers who will work together to produce some of the most mind-blowing maps that Conquer Club has ever seen. Our goal is to be, essentially, the Foundry equivalent of The Society Of The Cooks. We make it easy to get involved in map making by getting your feet wet, without jumping into the Foundry headfirst.

To join this group, go to Control Panel - Usergroups - Mapmakers Guild, select it, and click "Join selected" at the bottom. It may take over a week to approve you, so be patient. Membership requires the approval of pork and me, which you'll get as long as you aren't a complete jerk. ;)

The rules of the group and the reasons for its creation are detailed below.

The Map Machine is a good moniker, but it is NOT as descriptive as, The Map Factory. ;)

Also, I run a social group called Medal Heads, it all about getting your medals in CC. I put a link in our forum to this recruitment thread for anyone that is looking for a map group.

I'm interested in transferring here from the sinking ship you all jumped off. Just a warning, if this one falls apart like the last one did, i'll just drop off the radar entirely and go back to hanging out in the foundry. good luck!

Thank you all for the great response! Soon I'm going to send in the e-ticket for the group. Once it's started, the membership will be by invite only, where you will have to request to join the group to be let in. Sorry, but we need a way to control spammers and multis (there have been a lot of those lately). ;)
