What 'clever ploy' are you talking about? This isn't a conspiracy. MrBenn thought it would be cool to have more maps that corresponded with the classic map for tournament purposes. RedBaron has been suggesting more city maps could be a benefit. People who play conquerclub like new maps. It's straightforward. I thought a contest might be fun.
The reason we're doing it with two stages is because I want the gameplay to be solid and balanced before an artist puts his time into making the graphics portion of the map. I don't want to say to the artist, "hey, we totally rearranged the bonuses and we need you to fix them now." Does that make sense? When gameplay changes the graphics must change... so the logical conclusion to make things smoother is to make the gameplay sure and then do the graphics.
Edit: after reading throught he first post like nine times, I see that I have both stated there will be a vote and that we will shortlist the gameplays. What I meant to say was that we will shortlist the gameplays and not vote on them. I think it would be best to give the artists the widest possible choice in gameplays, because who knows what will inspire them.

I agree creating more maps is the objective, although I can also see how contenstants takibng the contest mega-seriously might be annoyed.

I see - doesn't that mean the maps reviewed first are most likely to progress as an artist would have more time to work on them?

Lets move on ... fast
I'm thinking about / am working on the following map(s):
You may select up to 4 options
Map 1 - London Boroughs... 12... 20%
Map 2 - War on the Streets of London... 6... 10%
Map 3 - Tourist London... 6... 10%
Map 4 - Istanbul... 12... 20%
Map 5 - Dubai... 6... 10%
None of the above... 19... 31%

Indeed. My point is that the "none of the above" option should be removed...
