Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning.
I'm not gonna make a poll for two reasons...
1) I don't know how to.
2) It seems strange to take a poll on a suggestion like this. Just take it as a suggestion.
Anyway... with the time of year and all, how about a Christmas themed map? (If it's already been done then ignore me).
It could be a map of Santa's Grotto, or a map of the north pole showing where Santa's Grotto is located.... or maybe a map showing the route that he takes to deliver the presents.
I reckon it could make for quite a fun challenge.
Thoughts?

Cool idea. How about a map of the terrain under the tree...complete with train, town, and presents? A North American (or elsewhere, of course) defense grid with Santa's progress? The journey of Mary & Co and those wise-guys, donkeys, drummer boys, etc. as they make their way toward Bethlehem. Probably lots of ways to go with it.

We had a Christmas challenge last year but I don't remember who won. I know I started one but ran out of time because I was working on The Island of Misfit Toys map, which I never finished either. I always like the idea of Holiday theme challenges or seasonal challenges...helps me get into the mood early.

I remember trying to get a Halloween Challenge last year, but got very few votes. I do remember Redrobes Island of Misfit Toys, but am not sure if that was for an official Holiday challenge or not, I forget what the premise of that Challenge was - or when? It wasn't December last year or November, I remember both of those...hmmm.

PS: which ever one we decide, it better be soon, since it already the 7th of December, we need to get a challenge going soon.
