Alright, thanks! Any chance of an extension?

Hi, long-term reader and lurker with a folder full of half-finished maps here :) I'm a little confused about this challenge: should we be depicting a world where a revisionist/ahistorical/pseudohistorical theory (like say, a conspiracy theory) has gained mass acceptance with the public and/or...

Wait, why are there now two different MotF threads on two different sites? :confused:

Guns of the X sounds cooler.

I like Nix the Notion of Nation.

As the person who commissioned this map, I'd just like to thank Bruce for doing a bang-up job on this scenario! The original comic has always frustrated me, on the one hand being very believable and realistic due to Chris Weston's beautifully detailed artwork; yet on the other hand it's...

Personally, I would prefer a week's extension. Or, if that's too long in the opinion of other people, maybe two or three days?

Can the deadline for MotF 113: Tickled Punk! perhaps be extended? I'm working on a pretty sweet map, but I'm not sure I can make the time to finish it in the next couple of hours.

Tickled Punk!

Well, personally I think there's more to it than that (it is after all a large scale secessionist movement which has reached civil-war levels of soldiers/security forces being involved and seen a vast area of the country transformed by villages being razed/people being displaced), but I...

Kurdish-Turkish conflict absent from maps Having just raided both this thread and the wiki to create a new, multi-layered (70 and counting!) Basemap for myself to play with, I am as always astonished by the level of detail you fine folks strive for in the historical base maps. Kudos! However...

Stick with the current system.

So, let me get this straight: the object of this challenge isn't to portray a world in which the 'ideal world of a historical figure' has come to pass, but just a depiction of said ideal world, no matter how farfetched and untempered by any adversity, chance or opposing forces. In other words...

Boo! Bad restriction, doubleplus unfun challenge. Also, I count as much or more support for True Believers and one or two other suggestions... (EDIT: ...but If I Ran The Zoo is fine, really. I just hope the other ideas we've been spitballing these past couple of days don't get lost in the shuffle.)

I don't know if that's necessarily true (I think too much about the why and how of every map I work on anyway), and in any case, I believe that drawback would be more than outweighed by the fun of being able to deviate wildly from the norm. Also, we could narrow the challenge by specifying that...
