    So many people stepping up, I love it! A whole bunch of great teams too. This is going to be, or hell, it's already a blast!

LOL, you all can bite me! My beginnings always look so terrible, only after pushing things around for a goodly amount of time do they start to resemble what I'm after.
    I relate to this on a very personal level For years, I've been mentally ranking mapmakers and their work in this simple five-step scale: you have your Weak, Average, Good, Excellent and Screw You

    And yet you are definitely a "Screw You", Kellerica, so it's all good.

    Looking forward to this challenge now. It's been a long time since I did a map for the pure pleasure of it. I think this will hit the spot just nicely.

    Ramah, my old friend!

    It's been a long time and I'm glad to see that you're back in the fray. You may not recall, but it was your map Vaniya? that inspired me to join the guild and start map-making, maybe ten or eleven years ago.

    Anywho, I don't really have time to compete, but if I wait for that to happen, it will never happen. So I'm throwing my hat in the ring. My commission will simply be "hall of maps." Anyone want to partner?

    Of course I remember, man. It's great to see you again and I'm really glad you'll be entering this madness.

    I actually visited the forum this afternoon and saw your name at the bottom as being online and I was like, "Ah, cool! Immolate still comes on here!"

    Actually, every map I do I remember you and your colour blindness and think to myself, "Now, musn't have red on green unless necessary." And then totally ignore my own warning and place red markers on green fields. Hehe. Well, it's the thought that counts, right?

    I thought it was funny you still had the same old quote in your sig.

    That has to be one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me!

    Oh, and cool to see you posting again, Immolate. I've seen your name around the older threads here and there, but I don't believe you've been that active around the time I've been here? A pleasure to make your acquaintance

    Nice to meet you as well. I have to say that I like your work. It appeals to these old eyes. Your use of limited color palettes is also pleasing. Being colorblind, overly diverse palettes can turn maps to mush for me.

    Oh, why thank you! I can't say I've ever thought of my color use from the color blind perspective, but I've always found limited color schemes extremely pleasing.

    I just realized why your name immediately rang a bell - I stumbled across that Wheel of Time map of yours not that long ago. Great stuff!

    Oh no, I feel pressure not to "break" the Ramah.
