Names of groups must be unique, and due to a previous group and a name change, The Map Factory already exists.

Plus some confusion due to The Map Machine.

To clear up things a bit...

I tried to get some people together to make some maps.
"The Map Factory", was the tentative name that I chose.
Sailorseal offered to help set up a clan group for us, but...
He went crazy on us, and set the group up, with HIM as founder and leader.
After about 2 min. of his Hitler routine, he had all but killed the group before it even began. and all of my hard work to get some talented people together was wasted.

John, I, and a few others, would like to try again, so, here we are up to date. 8-)

Okay, so jp already told you guys what's up. Based off his suggestion I sent a new e-ticket, and our temporary name is "Mapmakers Guild". If you come up with something cooler, then we'll start a poll or something.

Lol. An acronym might be nice as long as it makes sense and isn't obscene. :lol:

The forum is open now (how's that for quick service?) so let the posting begin. 8-)

can we take a vote over it?

I'd like in if you've got another spot. I've always wanted to give mapmaking another go, and maybe this will be the right way for me to be able to do so.

Good luck to this group, it has great potential for the site.

Oh yeah, ...So is this our groups home thread ?

John, I had an idea on how to get the ball rolling. We could use this thread to talk about new prospective map ideas. Once the idea has been accepted, we can make a separate thread for each map that goes into production. Anyone can feel free to post in this thread, any ideas, pictures, and comments.

I would like to be able to post pictures, and see if the talented folks among us can make a playable game out of it.

I am going to throw up the Calendar sketch pad again. I think that it will be a nice project to start.

Also, I want to get back on the "Food Chain". I would love to see it be our first quenched map. It would be cool if a turtle was represented on our first quench. (I am sure that lack will appreciate the thought.
