***September Challenge Voting*** REVOTE

[Badger]

September's Monthly Challenge Has been set up for a REVOTE. Because of the previous limitation on the number of entries that could be put in one poll, I omitted entries that should not have been omitted. I apologize to those that were left out. PLEASE VOTE AGAIN based on these new entries, plus we decided since industrygothica was soooo close to the deadline to let him in. His thread can be found here http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=3010 so he won't be in the thumbnails yet.

We will be implementing a system of votes based on the 1/5 the number of entries. So this month we have 30 entries, so you can vote for six (6) maps. The poll is open, so everyone will be able to see the voting. The Guild thanks you for you patronage and votes as well as wishes all of the entrants a hearty GOOD LUCK!

This month's Rules & Guidelines:

We have produced a map attached below which could use some improvement (it was drawn by RobA after all). Your challenge is to translate the attached map into your very own style. Change the colours, symbols and text and make this map your own. Make it 3d, or draw it on paper: intricate or simple - it is up to you.

By way of explanation:

The big magenta hexagon is a city
The small magenta hexagons are towns
The greeny yellow smudges are marshes
The bright green smudges are forests
The pointy lines are mountains
The rounded lines are hills
The blue lines are rivers

North is at about 11 o'clock.
Each edge of the map is 100 miles.

We would like voters to vote for the map which has the most individual style in which all the elements of the map work together to form a pleasing whole. As this contest is about individuality, all contestants should list with their map any elements used which were not created by them.

Wow, even with 6 votes to use it's so hard to choose

Good thing that industrygothica was allowed in, his map is great and got one of my votes.

[Korrigan]

My votes are placed (how hard to choose !). I am now waiting for the next challenge, which I will surely have time to attend !

[RPMiller]

It will be interesting to see if the voting remains the same from the previous voting. I am curious if people will be influenced by previous comments.

[NeonKnight]

My votes have not changed from what they were before, but this time I did vote for RPMIller. I liked his Hex Style, but just did not have enough love to spread around last time

Wow! Thanks, and to think I didn't even enter.

I was reluctant to post a response in this thread, as I was feeling guilty that, Mmmmmpig was beating me so soundly in the last vote, and I was ahead of him in this second vote. Now that he's surpassed me again, I feel content.

The only difference to my vote, was I added JFrazierJr's Broken Coast as my number six map.

I only hope those who voted in the first bout return and vote again.

I guess it's only natural but my votes lean towards the style that I like to do myself...satellite-esque, so my votes stayed the same but I added Delgo 'cuz I loves me some old school ink.

GP, No worries, there are a boatload of entries that could and should win this month... why I can think of 6. Actually I was forced to only choose 6, there are more than 6 that would individually win most months' challenges.

Anyhoo... this was a fun challenge and made me work with a technique that I haven't even thought about before, but I do kinda wish the old poll was the official one
