CLASSIC CITIES: Moscow [22.2.13] V31-P24 BETA Ready

[koontz1973]

cairns, with the two gold rings that isaiah pointed out, some things can be done quickly to improve them I am sure. But my only thing is why is the one at Presnensoe look different from the others? It looks smoother and darker than all the rest.

Honestly it's almost X-mas and I should be more relaxed and happy than how I am right now. Part of this is not related with CC, just I have a difficult and uncommon situation at home these days...and it is exactly for this reason that I would like to log in CC and have fun.
Instead it's some time that almost every single day I have to hear something really annyoing.
What isaiah40 asked was said to me, there's a pixels party on your golden rings and also you have some things on the map that have no sense to my eyes. (e.g. xml can't be shortened, what the .... is an abbreviation for another one?)

Anyway, we have a system to do things, the system is used for everyone here. When a CA change to sticky a topic, he also makes a call in our private forum, so all other CAs can give final suggestion for that stage.
As said the suggestion come from me, isaiah is only the man who is speaking for everyone in this case.
This is not a last minute change, I don not see graphics stamp on this topic.
So you don't want to change graphics after the stamp is given, you don't want to change graphics before the stamp just for the sake of not changing them (when there're concerns and the graphics are not up to the standard). You rarely listen nolefan because it's new....at this point I'm wondering if you want we all leave our positions and you can rule this place....
Please, draw maps, follow what CAs say....and if there's something you don't like please try to explain to me what you don't like.
But stop to rule this place just because now you don't have exams. Don't make the rules, don't set the timeline or limits, this is not your job here.
In that way you will see CAs will be able to do their job properly instead to have to deal with unplanned things that "steal" time from our normal duties.
If their normal duties are not enough to cover all your maps, probably it's because you should try to draw less maps in the same time...no one is here to steal to you a map project.
The foundry doesn't work on your time.

Sorry for the harsh words, but i think that my Team has enough of this way to act from you.
Nobodies

ps. probably It was better to use a pm, but in this way everyone can read...so we're all on the same page.

Last Call

If anyone has any other comments on graphics, now is the time to speak up! If there are no other concerns within the next couple of days, this map will be moved to the Final Forge!

isaiah40

This creates expectation...

One would hope that if you have concerns tnb80, you'be able to speak up for yourself, not get your elf to do your work for you.

Where you have the XM for nole, tnb means to have it read XML

Ah...what about GG how do i get gameplay and graphics in there too.
XM was to keep consistency of two letters with the other two letters on the other side.

[isaiah40]

I think that just having GR for graphics would suffice, as I don't know of any mapmaker that puts game-play on the map unless someone else worked out the game-play.

Isaiah40. I'm sorry, but there is no room for creativity is there, anymore.
One must confirm to the standards, my goodness.

Atta boy, cairns.

Thank-you FT.
Now i just hav to wait to see if the rest of the "judges" determine if the changes are OK for the small, before propogating the large ready for XML.

Firstly well done on the rings, I know what these last minute changes mean to us all, they can be a drag but I am sure you know, they must be done.

Saying that, one last thing from me which I only noticed now with the new rings as it became really apparent. Your lighting source for the map is of. You seem to have many different lighting sources depending on which part of the map I look at. Title is from below, gold rings is face on, frame is right to left. Can I ask for the lighting to come from one direction please.

No, ....
And besides...this will mean re-doing everything again.
The frame is a bevel process, not done in gold.
The title you previously approved of...is done via a different process than what the rings etc. are done by.


PS. lighting was not one of the effects i was asked to correct in the swipe above.
