top side and back rib are already part of very difficult bonuses. move their stars to shell steak and top blade instead?
OK will move them to Ox tail base, and Shell Steak. Going to leave it in the neck position.

the standout gameplay feature on the map is the special offer. however, it will ...

OK that only really effects me I think.

*how easy is it to read neutral player values on the special offer?
Guess I should change the background on that one.

*the left legs don't have any region names - are we supposed to deduce the names of each part based on the matching component of the right legs?
I will put them in, just want ...

Thanks,

I changed the title, no problem.

Hi all,

It's been a crazy summer for me but no that it's over I am ready to start working on the cow again.

Still rough around the edges, but I want to nail down the game play before I make it all pretty.

I've taken on board most of the suggestions, dropped the loyalty points, and hopefully made ...

Silversun6 I got three points on that last game giving me a total of 6 points which should give me a high enough score to get into the next round. Does this mean I make it into the next round.

Think there is still one game left in round 5. It looks like All I need is two more points to maybe stay in? Who knows what will happen.

How do you get one of those second chance passes, in case I don't get enough points in this round?

Best Wishes,
Dana

in please

I noticed the scores are out of date.
My group has finished round 4. You must be very busy silversun6 with a lot to organize. I know I wouldn't have the time.
Thanks for setting this tourney up. It's fun.

Best Wishes,
Dana

I do plan to continue, I've just had a lot on at the moment. Hoping to make another pass this weekend if I can get some spare time.

Life keeps getting in my way.

Best Wishes,
Dana

OOOPs that's a typo. Thanks for spotting it.

Very nice dana.

Mini map is out. Using coloured chalk would work but not sure how easy it would be to see with the current colours. You could change the colour of the writing on the poster to match or add a coloured glow to the names.

Will have a look at the GP aspects later today.

Thanks for ...

Here is the latest.

Still needs work, but I thought I'd post this now to show people that I am still working on it.

I dropped the meat counter because, to me it was just using up to much space.
I plan to color code the prices to match the bonuses.
Need to label the new legs and put them on the ...

Graphically speaking, the photos you have used for the meat and counter will not get the graphics stamp as is, so start looking at the ways you can improve these now. No need to wait for later. Also, the font for the legend/prices needs to have a more for a written feel to it. Less neat but not ...

However why "4 Star Meats"? is there some connection I'm not making? where did this title come from?

The title has no special meaning. Basically wanted the title to be the name of the Butcher shop and small companies like to get their names in the front of the phone book, or these days the online ...

Hi all,

Still lots to do but here's the latest. I decided to concentrate on a general layout that helps establish the theme.
I probably don't need so many chalk boards but you get the idea.

Also think I may need to cut down on the artwork around the playable area, so the map is more compact ...

I agree to make the map balanced I need something like the fly swarm, cow pat, and grass. Someone mentioned replacing the grass with a sale sticker, I may do something like that.
Perhaps several special offer stickers will do the job.

I like the idea of blood stains but that goes against other ...

Natty, as open minded as I am it is impossible to work in everyone's comments, and you are not the only one with comments, but I'll do what I can, and I have no expectation of being able to make everyone happy. All in all it has to be something I'm happy with.

In terms of your comment on the title ...

Wow where to start.

Natty Dread: I will fall off my chair if you ever like this map, because at it's core it is a simple dissection of a cow that tells people where their meat comes from.
But maybe one day I'll meat your approval. "No pun intended"

let me state clear that I have also talked ...

Hi all,
Here's the latest work in progress:

I've made it into a poster on a white tile wall which you see in a lot of butcher shops.
I've roughly painted in some extra fat barriers to see what you all think. Once we're happy with the game play I'll clean up the graphics.

The idea is that this is ...

Looking forward to seeing how this all turns out...

Do we get to see the scores of round one, so we can see how close we were to being eliminated?

Hi all,

Thought I'd let you know what I have planned next. Talked to "thenobodies" and we discussed going back to the original butcher map and dropping the island. What is going to change is the setting. The map will be put on the wall of a butcher shop making it clear that the map is a poster on ...

What the hell is that stupid Christmas map

That is a map that didn't go through the foundry process. The way I see it, it's not a "real" CC map.
But presumably the people who are saying "cow" is unacceptable are the same people who approved/made "christmas" correct? Why the double standard ...

He could rename the sections to different blood sucking sections. Blood supply 1, blood supply 2, blood supply 3 etc. Change the names to fit how a cow looks from a bats perspective instead of a human.

Thanks for the suggestion Gillipig, but I don't think the powers at be would not be happy with ...
