In one of the closest races in current MotF history, congrats to @Quel2324 for winning MotF 280: News of the World with their map of The Verge of the War on Booze. One week until the close of MotF 281: Valedictorian.
Yay! Thank you all and congrats to the Reformer, that map was amazing.
Dark humour is because I didn't get tagged and assumed my map wouldn't be counted, I didn't vote...
But congrats!
Highly encouraged. If the person is no longer active here, let me know and we can chat about it. Otherwise, you should be asking permission.
Congrats to @Quel2324 for winning MotF 281: Valedictorian with their map "Study Medical Sciences with the Order of Malta". Don't forget to submit for MotF 282: Homage.
I've been trying to publish my map for a while now, but it's too big. I don't know how to reduce its weight without ruining it.
I recommend uploading to DA or Imgur and then linking the photo.
Bit of a rush-job, but managed to get something together. Reposting some suggestions in the meantime.

You realize this makes me want to subvert the cue by displaying the colonisation of a meteor after being struck by an impactor ship?
I am honored you did an homage to one of my maps! Thank you!The Frozen Continent: Europe in the world of Ictoria
@rexnerdorumMotF 202: Dust to Dust
MotF 202: Dust to Dust The Challenge Make a map showing the world in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event. The Restrictions There are no restrictions on when the PoD of your map should be. Fantasy, sci-fi, and future maps are allowed. If you're not sure whether your idea meets the criteria...www.alternatehistory.com
Also, your map looks good! I like the hand-drawn style.
I have some ideas for Hey Now, You're an All-Star, Only Shooting Stars Break the Mold, and It's a Cool Place and they Say it Gets Colder.

@rexnerdorum know that I'm a big fan of your map of Ictoria, which still inspires me and which I share with friends IRL.
In fact, it seems to me that it was the last thing that motivated me to sign up for AH when you made a dedicated thread to talk about the chronology of your universe.
And I'm also the unfortunate one who had close by a mod the thread by posting on it late.
I really appreciate your work @RedBeret which extends it. However I'm not sure what was written between "The Towerlands" and "Lands of sled drivers".
Did you create a lore around it or not?
