Don't worry about it. remember when I posted earlier that I was going to lose. Well I am gonna lose. And both maps (whichever wins) are far superior to mine.jiminski wrote:good grief that is a tough decision!
I am sorry widow but as much as i love your piece of art (and it most surely is a work of art!) it is just a little less clear than the other 2 options. Indeed that is its charm and what makes it so beautiful but in practical terms beautiful women often don't make the best wives

The less restraints on a competition the better. I want everyone to have fun on this doing the map the way they want to do it with as much creative freedom as possible. That is why I left people to make there own decision on what size to use.

If I only had a week to submit a large and small, I wouldn't have enough time. Creating a small (or large) isn't just a resize. It's a lot of work to make sure everything looks / fits well. I would say on the next revamp, 1 size is specified, that all map makers would have to follow (preferably large).

I agree with ed. That is why i did my map small. If you can make a good looking small map, the large map will be even better.edbeard wrote:RjBeals wrote:edbeard wrote:I'm not trying to get into a big thing here, but if they have to do it eventually, might as well do it right away.

I'm not saying to make both. I'm saying make everyone do the small. small is where the issues come about. most of the time, the large map is a breeze when it comes to legibility and spacing. these are usually big issues when it comes to small maps. instead of there being speculation (oh this one will be crowded or illegible) just make 'em all start on the small. everyone will be on the same playing field.
if anyone cares to continue this discussion, let's make a thread in foundry discussion
