0 votes for #1 … ouch.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but when does voting end?

HEEELLLLOOOO!

I agree. There should be updates allowed. Then as the maps change, people can adjust their votes. Just 1 update per day per map. It would allow for feedback to really be used and to see which map makers can take the input and apply it quickly and properly.

I agree, too. With some editing my vote can easily change to #3.

Interesting idea to allow updates mid-vote... why couldn't somebody have brought this up a few days ago? #-o

I disagree that mid-vote updates are a good idea. This is an awkward time of year (at least in the US and I would imagine much of Europe) to be giving potential advantage to a cartographer with few day-to-day commitments over people who have finals, holiday parties, and various other types of Shit Going On Around This Time Of Year.

considering that I've brought up the idea of everyone being allowed an edit on more than one occasion prior to this, I find your post annoying, Oaktown.

not exactly the idea you're talking about but I don't see how this one little thing someone said pushed you over the line of being in agreement of the idea to allow a second version.

Anyone else have comments on how to improve the maps? Ed and Rj's posts were very useful.

by **whitestazn88** on Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:36 am

this really needs to be put on the front page or at least as a sticky in all forums like the brazil revamp competition....

by **oaktown** on Thu Dec 11, 2008 2:31 am

I'd be happy to discuss further the idea of allowing updates mid-voting, but let's do it back in the original Competitions announcement thread and let folks use this space to talk about the maps, eh? Thanks.

I really want to comment on the maps guys, but I'm refraining from commenting and voting as I'm one of the entrants. There's a lot of talent here, and if any of these maps were put up as first drafts, they'd definitely get support and exposure. Every map has something in it that is good, and while they all need polishing, they also all demonstrate the level of talent on this site. Hats off to all =D>
