I think we're all aware that whichever map wins, it still has to make it through Final Forge. If a cartographer doesn't bring their best effort to the competition, then they probably don't deserve a second chance.
In any case, I don't think that the 4 maps currently in the lead are going to need major changes. Some people have expressed possibly one or two things that are questions about a particular map, but nothing so glaring as to turn off large numbers of voters.

Seems a little presumptuous to assume that no one thinks about their vote before they cast it. The foundry seems to be frequented by a number of people who take the process seriously. I certainly looked at the creativity and originality of each map, as well as the changes and the potential before casting my vote. In addition, that first impression is the same once the map is available for play. I'm sure many people just glance over a map once before deciding if they're going to play it.DiM wrote:exactly. in revamps it's all about first impressions. that's why i earlier said wm's alien thing would have surely won. people don't vote based on analysis.
the best solution for a revamp competition would be if all maps were revealed but no voting option. they would just be displayed for public comment. perhaps each with it's own thread. then for a week each of the cartographers (anonymously of course) would respond to the feedbacks and do modifications. only after that we would have a poll.
as i said the first impression is too important.

I think that the excellence of all of the maps bears out the fact that the current process of voting on revamps is working.
