Map descriptions[moderated]

[natty dread]

I think you're only supposed to post maps that are already in play...

I'll post mine when I get around to it, I'll have to count the territories of each...

[DiM]

and the point is?
i'm sorry but i'm not wasting time compiling some data just to see it sit for nothing for years and years.
when i see something concrete that this will be used for map classifications or a new interface based on map categories, then i'll gladly update the info for my maps.

I'll have to count the territories of each...

Don't care too much about number of territories, I can count them easily with a special tool i have, what I really need are descriptions and, eventually, special features.

and the point is?

trust me DiM, there's a point.
If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed.

it's not that i don't trust you tnb, it's just that if there's one thing CC doesn't lack, that's promises. we've had lots of things promised to come "in the next update", "at the christmas update", "in the next X months", things that eventually never came and there were always petty excuses like "not enough time", "maybe next time" or "we decided to not do it for god knows what reason". so yeah, maybe you know something we don't, maybe you were even promised something but don't tell me you still believe in santa
so until i see his fat ass coming down the chimney i'll remain a skeptic.

I'm going to back tnb80 up because he does have a point, and I know that point. He can't finish his point if mapmakers don't help out and provide this basic information.

if the point is to gather all this info then come up with a plan and a suggestion and present it to lack asking for map classifications and categorizations then all i can say is: "good luck but i'm not gonna waste my time for something doomed from the start"

We will see....some are already on this thread. The missing ones, i think we can write them together as soon i can easily understand what are the descriptions we miss.

No,trust me that isn't the point.
Btw if you had used all the time you spent to write the last posts, you'd already finished the map descriptions!

not really, but even if that were true, it would still have been wasted time, whereas my posts had the purpose of expressing my thoughts.
so it's not about time per se, but rather about the way that time is spent.
