Sounds good to me.edbeard wrote:A contest, like the canada revamp, would be a splendid idea. Except, there should be a a secondary (and possibly tertiary) phase where after feedback is given, the 'contestants' resubmit their work.

Nope it was not me. I asked lack to do it but he contacted the original artist and it was corrected by them.DiM wrote:from what i understand the file for classic is available. why not make that file public and whoever wants to tinker with it is free to do it. then each person submits his version.
conditions:
change only:
a. position of armies
b. positions of army circles
c. colour adjustments where needed
or better yet ask wm to do all that privately with no contest and we're done. from what i know wm already made the scandinavia england connection so he can do the rest of the issues.
no point in changing the classic.
OK. reposition names, circles, and make numbers easier to read.yeti_c wrote:WidowMakers wrote:Plus the current map needs to be a choice in the final.
I think this should be a "retouched" current map...

Whatever is decided needs to be approved by the majority of the site. Having a poll in GD alone, might not be enough. I suggest if we do this once the rules are defined and the entries are in, a mass PM/email go out to direct everyone to the poll.
That way people cannot say they did not know that classic was potentially changing. Plus the current map needs to be a choice in the final.

I agree this is the easiest if the original artist wants to redo and submit the work. But if there are still concerns, they would need to do it again. And again. And again....DiM wrote:WidowMakers wrote:Nope it was not me. I asked lack to do it but he contacted the original artist and it was corrected by them.

i assumed it was you since you're the one that does the work around here when it comes to gfx for the site.
then i guess this is even better. ask the original artist to move circles and terit names and make the blue a bit lighter. 5 minutes in photoshop and the map will be good as new. no need for revamping contests mass pms and stuff like that.
easiest and best solution in my opinion because graphics stay the same and all the issues are solved

We need make sure it fits the current requirements of the foundry.
From what I know it took a while to get that little change made, much less this entire overhaul of the circles/numbers.

I dare say there will be a lot of opposition to messing with THE classic map. Shouldn't you guys be waiting for an "official" word on this before deciding on a contest? Gimil req'd for the GD discussion on this to end, so I assume that to mean nothing is currently happening? Don't know for sure of course, but maybe we should hear from a carto on this?
