-The Map of the Fortnight map contest (**MoF** or, more recently, **MotF** for short) is a regular map contest that was created on July 21st, 2009 by [[offtopic:Scarecrow]] after a discussion about reviving the map contests which had occasionally been run on AH.com. Currently the MotF contest is run by [[offtopic:Krall]]. The current main discussion thread for the contest can be found [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=170373|here]].+The Map of the Fortnight map contest (**MoF** or, more recently, **MotF** for short) is a regular map contest that was created on July 21st, 2009 by [[offtopic:Scarecrow]] after a discussion about reviving the map contests which had occasionally been run on AH.com.

 Unlike previous map contests the MotF contest is not a one-off - a new contest with a new challenge is posted every fortnight, as the name suggests. There have been occasional breaks and exceptions to this rule, mainly when the burden of the contest's administration has been passed on to a new member and over Christmas, but the contest itself has never been officially disbanded or abandoned since its inception. Unlike previous map contests the MotF contest is not a one-off - a new contest with a new challenge is posted every fortnight, as the name suggests.

 On December 30th, 2015, Krall announced that he'd largely retreat from AH.com due to his dismay about its administration and handed over the torch to [[offtopic:Upvoteanthology]] who, on January 1st, 2016, opened a whole new [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/Discussion/showthread.php?t=377515|Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread]] and started her tenure with the very first round of the year 2016, MotF 130. On December 30th, 2015, Krall announced that he'd largely retreat from AH.com due to his dismay about its administration and handed over the torch to [[offtopic:Upvoteanthology]] who, on January 1st, 2016, opened a whole new [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/Discussion/showthread.php?t=377515|Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread]] and started her tenure with the very first round of the year 2016, MotF 130.

 The second was in MotF 56 where [[offtopic:Kaiphranos]] and [[offtopic:Iserlohn]] both received 36 votes. Again they were given the option of map duel or fight to the death (in this case a hot air balloon rifle duel), and the former was chosen following Krall's apparent discovery that making people fight to the death is illegal. The rules were to be that Krall chose a challenge suggestion for both the duellists, but unfortunately Iserlohn was unable to make a map and honourably forfeited, resulting in Kaiphranos' victory. The second was in MotF 56 where [[offtopic:Kaiphranos]] and [[offtopic:Iserlohn]] both received 36 votes.
