Yep, New York is EST which is of course totally unrelated to the location of the person that will be doing the closing....
*lol*... but of course, wouldn't think of you favoring your location torstan... and as it happens, I have allready added NY to my iphone as I have two friends living there - so couldn't be easier

Actually that does bring up an important point. As the US does daylight saving differently to most of the rest of the world, EST is currently GMT -4 rather than GMT -5 as normal.
*lol*... well, as long as the time is fixed to NY, I guess we just have to adjust our watches accordingly

Half my electronics come from home (UK) so it took a lot of care to figure out what time it was yesterday morning...
So, you're not a native to NY?
I've changed countries too, from Denmark to Sweden - so not that big of a change - and my company is still in Denmark so I go there often.

Nope - I move around quite a lot.
Moutarde did a lovely illustration of a myth, complete with source materials and what appeared to be a nice fantasy research context. Lovely picture of a scroll that might be described as a map, technically well executed and integrated with the context. But it just didn't seem well suited to the purpose of being a map.
Greason Wolfe went to the other extreme, opting for what appeared to be a fully geologically accurate illustration. It was very photographic and well executed, but it seemed to me to be lacking "mapness".
tilt did what best matched my mental model of a "map" of those presented for the challenge. It showed the important features of a place for the purpose of describing a myth. Was it technically the best executed from a technical standpoint? Probably not by the current standards of most of the guild folks. Did it look like a photograph? Certainly not. It had a few of the external flourishes that would mark it as a picture of a map (some of the shading on the map appeared to be trying to invoke a parchment-type background and it was clear from the symbol style that it was intended to look like a picture of a woodcut from an old book), but those flourishes were all very subordinate to the map.
