Preliminary Reviews

Postby MrBenn on Wed Feb 25, 2009 2:33 pm

In case you missed it, the Drafting Room and early stages of map development have been hammered into a more solid shape. With the tinkering, and to bring more clarity to the preliminary stages of development, I have decided to phase out the use of the [Advanced Draft] stamp. With this in mind - and on the back of Oaktown's idea of introducing final reviews for maps at the end of the foundry production line) - I would be interested in soliciting more input from the CC family at the point when a working draft is launched into the heat of the Main Foundry...

Therefore, I plan to set up a preliminary review mailing list... Anybody and everybody who would like to be involved in the initial review of maps as they are put on the production line will will receive a PM linking them to newly promoted map(s) once they have been stamped with the foundry brand!

If you would like to be included in future public review announcement PMs just post here in this thread, and I'll put together a mailing list

I would prefer that the differentiator not be removed. The Newsletter has always managed to shed light on newer maps while not ending up with a slew of to-be-discontinued maps to worry about, and it's made possible by being able to objectively say "Advanced Draft is criteria". If you could keep the same idea around but retool it for the "preliminary review", I'd be most appreciative.

So this is a main foundry thing? I guess this is more my style. You can add me to this list Benn.

Not always. Anyway this system seems to be working very well, as there is a large influx in comments on any map linked in one of these PMs.
