Map Ideas
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:50 pmCould someone name a single map which was an idea in the foundry by someone who did not even post a draft, that was made into a map because of that idea
It seems to me that any idea that goes anywhere from the drafting room is one that was posted by someone who originally planned to make the map themselves.
I would personally never embark on a project that a person took great care to map out territory by territory, and then not even post an image. If I did, there is a .01% chance I would use the specifics that poster stated.
Seems like those posts are just dead space since people like making maps in the style they work on best, and if they come up with an idea, it is usually something they can visualize, not just
"utah has 5 territories, one in the far north, one in salt lake that borders the far north and the west, which borders colorado, and the south, which borders new mexico and the southwest, which attacks arizona and nevada"
Who would actually follow that? Any opinion on these posts which seem to arise every 5 seconds?
