Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

[Upvoteanthology]

For the new challenge could we do a union of two semi-autonomous/autonomous regions from OTL who become a country?

Sure.

Shame. I was just about to finish my entry. I assumed it would end on the 21st.

Ah, I'm sorry. It said it on the thread, but it's my fault for posting the original thread so late. If you'd like, I could extend it. Your maps have always been amazing.

Nah, don't make an exception just for me. I should have read past the map parameters.

Alright. Hopefully this is the last time I mess up like this, and hopefully this doesn't turn you off from the contest.

What counts as 'verge of destruction'? Does the method of annihilation have to be present on the map?

I mean, that's up to interpretation, but I'd say that it doesn't have to show any method of destruction on the map itself. Like, if I was making a Cold War gone hot scenario, I wouldn't show the locations of the nuclear bombs, but I'd try to show the geopolitical circumstances that lead to the bombs being dropped in the first place.

Interesting discussion here.

It appears that the map with the most votes did not follow the rules and is thus subject to disqualification.

More opinions about that are welcome in that thread. Thank you.

Seems a little immature, mate, given that you just so happen to be the person who "won". No need to bring that over here. Don't try saddling up a posse just because you're unhappy at losing. I've lost the MotF every time I've entered, and I'm okay with that.

I don't understand you, sorry.
I did not lose. I won.

Alright then. If that's what you want to tell yourself, I see no need to continue this discussion. Just keep this out of the Map Thread, we have enough pointless non-arguments over there as is.

EDIT: Oops, somehow thought this was the Map Thread. Either way, mate. C'mon.

Zagan is going about this quite childishly, but I do think eh's technically correct. I'd rather hold a re-vote, though.

Of course, by this point I think he's dug a hole deep enough (the discussion thread for that round is...interesting. He's demanded upvoteanthology's resignation) that he won't pull in many votes.
