Sierra Club is an environmental lobby. NRA is a "Gun rights" lobby.

That's fine then. I had just looked at the latest image and thought it looked strange being right aligned. Ideally you wouldn't have one block on its own line like that, but to change it you would need to do a single row for all 7 places.

Good Idea! I'll check if it can be done single row.

[quote="Marvaddin"]Beyond the bonuses of the parties being a bit low...[quote]

Yes, bonuses. I would appreciate some feedback regarding them. Any suggestions as to what levels would be appropriate?

by **qeee1** on Tue Jan 09, 2007 12:36 pm

I think bump the party bonuses to 7, leave all the others.

I really like the left right divide thing, gives the map something to distinguish it from other maps, allowing for nuances in strategy, don't open another border.

Also change title of map to U.S. Senate, there are other senates in the world. :wink:

qeee1 makes a good point for what you were trying to say.

add a jay on the red side.

great job on the map and all but i noticed ur print media and tv media colors need to switched lol great job though

It isn't really a huge deal to me but I agree with those that believe the United States spelling of Defense should be used for a U.S. senate map. :roll:

More importantly if you keep the podium the only left to right access it is going to be very hard to hold and I'm not sure if the bonuses reflect that.

What color?

As for the CC Seate Idea youve been quite alone in voicing this opinion. Personally I like it, but I like even more to feel that I'm messing about In the US Senate. (yes, the last two elections left me a wee bit frustrated..)
I hope to see this map become very popular during 2008.

More voices about CC senate, people?

If you will make me senator, lol, well, I hate republicans because Bush is republican (by the way, I hate Bush). And... Clinton government seemed much more reasonable to me (although I dont know how it was internally).

i kinda like ur idea.....

but what i was thinkin, was for the names of the seats use names of people on CC....

like, Jay could be a republican senator.....etc., etc. of course u'd need permission to use those names.....

Ok, this could be a cynical way to gain favor for this map from people. "Get your name in".
The name Kyle was used in reference to Kyle Broslowski so it was already in the map. No prob to move it (especially since Rev Kyle was one of the first to belive in this map).
Mrvaddin is one of the most active in this forum it seems. His sometimes harsh but wellgrounded criticisms force you to rethink some ideas. I think a blue 'Marv' will soon be seen. :wink:

hmm...Andy. Time to immortalize that name as well?

by **P Gizzle** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 3:52 pm

well, i just thought it would be funny....

there are a lot of conservatives on this site

but, there are a million times more liberals, so, it would be funny to take over Jay's seat, or Kyle's seat, etc., etc.

by **qeee1** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 5:49 pm

I'd recommend a jay as he's the most outspoken republican in the forums.

Thanks for the name change btw.

BOO HISS etc on the opening of a new border.

Also don't delete your previous versions. Need comparisons.

by **Fitz69** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 5:59 pm

Opened a border between the Lobbies. A back door is needed for gameplay(and as in real life, the loobies have more than one back door).

Changes the name; US Senate.
Implemented US spelling.
Changed bonuses.

Best place you could put it.. because lobbies are actually where there may be common ground.. that being corruptness.

by **Guiscard** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 6:41 pm

Only a small point but west security and east security are different. The west horizontally aligned with security but the east isn't. Does that explain it? Anyway, otherwise looking like a great map and graphically its really fresh. Good going, keep up the good work.

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 6:56 pm

Some people to find out names for that I suggest not to make it seem like people are trying to gain favortism, more for entertainment to CC people because they see this.

VTMarik(blue)
Heavycola(blue)
Backglass(blue)

Jay(red)
happysadidiot(red)

etc..

by **AndyDufresne** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 7:03 pm

I'd actually prefer...simple 'Joe-schmo' names. Just my opinion.

--Andy

by **Sam Jam** on Wed Jan 10, 2007 7:15 pm

everything looks great, execpt that in the red area, the country between eric and pam doesn't have a name

besides that, everything is good, keep up the good work!
