Opse! Thanks, I exactly didn't see the bold part where you emphasised! :D 8-[

To be honest, I had to reread it a bit to find it. It would have been easier for us post skimmers if that last sentence was right next to the first.

Industrial Helix, Did you received the maps I sent you yesterday? I know you did read the PM but I asked in PM if it's possible to reply so I know you got it, but you didn't reply so I wanted to make sure you got them, thanks ...

I can't wait to see the maps that come out of this discussion. I wanted this to happen two years ago, or something very similar at least but alas I have no graphics talent. Good on you guys! :)

One more day for the deadline... actually I think anyone still working has until the end of tomorrow. I will do my best to get the entries up and voting going on Sunday.

Can you put up an announcement on the Home page to let people know the voting has started? I've been trying to guess who did which map, and I think I know who did the one I voted for :P

I personally can not update anything outside of the foundry. Andy is the man we want, and he's usually on top of things so i don't expect it will be long.

Why does the poll allow 7 options?

Number 4 needs some border fixing, but they aren't too bad. #3 I think is the best of them.

Okay, I'm confused. Why would it not allow 7 options? Do you not see 7 entries?

Why would you want to vote all 7 entries, it would effectively be the same as voting none.

Oh, okay. I see what you mean now. Apparently, I'm an idiot. I thought you meant that you didn't see all 7 entries.

They changed it to 3? I see, "You may select 1 option". Maybe they changed it again. I haven't tried to vote yet. Having a hard time deciding! I thought 1 was good, then I saw 3 and 7. Wow. Actually, they're all good, those are just my favorites. Congrats to all the mapmakers, these are some really fine entries.

Yes, when I saw this yesterday, you could pick up to 3 of the 7. Now it is limited to a single choice. Do these changes to the poll reset the counts?

So why is 3 different game play than any other map? Seems odd to me.

There are a few different spelling/border issues in most of the entries, this can all be hammered out in the Final Forge. The poll is to just pick which graphics style is to be used.

I did the original XML for this map back when it first tried getting through the foundry and Industrial Helix asked me to do it this time as well. I have the original, approved + Forza checked XML saved to fix up the gameplay/name issues later on.


Good luck to the entries.
