? quoting Gwil

Is there no-one kind enough to mail a CD full of the maps for Orph (if there are a lot of entries)

I'd do it but I get the feeling airmail is distinctly expensive for a man with no money

All jocularity aside. I can manage, as long as courtesies are observed. I have downloaded as much as 300 megs with 56k before. Course, that was before I had DSL and knew no better.

If people would keep their zips properly made and no unnecessary files added (I have downloaded zips with BMPs inside. Which was a bitch to say the least)

I want this to come to fruition and I'll deal with the files with no complaints (within reason)

So, how close are we to coming to a decision guys?

Post your wants and we will use the most common denominators for the good of the whole.

No, thats pretty much decided. The entire site will vote. I feel that publicly would be best but privacy is sometimes what people prefer.

The overseers will determine that each member votes once. We will more than likely have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place with possibly an honorable mention for a loser that lost by a minuscule amount from the top 3 slots.

IMO, the only two things we need to focus a decision upon is:

• when to begin.
  
• and how long till it ends.
  

I would also like to request that 3 trustworthy members who are NOT ENTERING, collect any and all beta versions to make sure that they fall into the prescribed terms of the contest. This way, No one making a map will be burdened with the time it takes to sift through them and to send a message to anyone who's map is not acceptable so that they can edit it a bit.

If we cannot find 3 members who are not entering, then we will resort to members who want the job, are responsible and can cope with building and overseeing.

Fisheye already stated that he will not be entering, but didn't exactly turn down the overseer position.

Anyone else? All I ask is, don't be offended if someone in the contest protests a candidate for overseer. Its the contest entr?es decision methinks.

Over a day and 1/2 and no replies... Not even derrogatory ones.

OK.... I posted this reply at Mapcore. I figure I can do so here too for anyone still fuzzy on the contest guidelines......

Without giving any details about my entry, the answer is basically "Yes" CJ.

I figure, even if I fail, it will show me how much I have yet to learn... And unfortunately, so will everyone else.

But essentially, yes, a room/area/zone of any size.
