Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Done! - RJbeals wins]

[edbeard]

well then, widowmakers, I'll just have to take over rules making and hosting duties for the next revamp competition.


not that there's many other maps to revamp. British Isles but gimil is doing that. Australia but Keyogi wants to do it himself I think. Arctic? Africa?

[iancanton]

asia. it's one of the worst on this site, with unclear attack routes and spelling mistakes galore.

Hmmm, conditions for the revamp, I think I have said this a ton of times already, lol...

• At least 1 Brazilian symbol, like flag or coat of arms.
• I keep the right to veto anything on the artistic side...Some things I will veto right now include placing signatures in Brazilian flag (someone tried it already, lol), and putting the title in any colour that is not in the flag.

Well... I PM'd marv a while ago with no answer. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what he thinks. I did use the banner above the title so it's just barely a Brazilian symbol... But... I did use colours in the title that are NOT in the flag. Honestly, the flag just doesn't mix well with the colours on my map. Sorry Marv. I did use colours in the title that I felt represented Brazil however.

Added a news feed for Round 2 Voting to the Home page. Lets hope it draws in some views and votes.

andy, u need to do this for all revamps. i totally forgot about this and didnt vote for round 1.

luckily, i love rjbeals version of brazil. very well done. oaktown's was great too, but the whole book thing is kind of distracting. as for widowmaker's version, dont feel too bad, having the guts to experiment with new things is what brought mankind from cavemen to modern world.

[AndyDufresne]

Dont' worry, we will do it for all REVAMPs. A lot more of Foundry issues and topics will be displayed regularly. It was not used for Round 1...because it wasn't Live yet!

And just an update. When I created the News Feed around 2 and half hours ago, we had 15 votes. We know have nearly 80.

yup, the numbers speak for themselves. now each time i visit the site, im always remind to check in here to see how progress goes.

[tubaman]

Wow only 2 votes for widowmakers? I like the look of it, it just think it's too small. It definitely deserves more than 2 votes.

Is is supposed to be small. It is the small map. And teh reason there are only two votes it that everyone knows I will lose. There is no point in voting for a loser.

I did not even vote for myself.

[AndyDufresne]

The numbers do look good...

[oaktown]

The numbers do look good...

Indeed - we already have more votes than the first round netted in a week! Who knew anybody actually pays attention to the headlines?

[gimil]

wow, this has been up 7 and a half hours and it already has more votes than round 1. The poll is set to run for a week!

Its almost like christmas for me

Goooooooooo B!

Yeah, I know, rj's map is an aesthetic wonderment (as always), but oak's map is pure unadulterated brilliance.

[yeti_c]

Tricky decision for me - I went with B - But I really like RJ's A too.
WM's C is only a close third too - the only thing that turned me off that was the legibility.

C.

[djak.]

My favorite would've been the combination of:
B's cleanliness of the actual map
B's readable font
A's "continents" bonus map
A's dark and clear non-crossing borders
B's lack of ALL CAPS
C's small size but with the stuff on the left also cropped off
B's trivia, but not the placement of the stuff on the left making the image bigger than it needs to be

[rebelman]

rj's map as always is gorgeous but i opted for oatown's - all I can say is wow she's a beauty and I'm amazed its not winning that said what rj has done looks class (as always)

[gimil]

I think we can safely say that this has been the most successful competition to date in the foundry.

[fireedud]

I liked A better with the lines around it, but I still voted for it.

[Optimus Prime]

Well, I suppose Headlines works, wouldn't you say, Andy? Dang.

[RjBeals]

Uh oh... B is starting to catch up...

[InkL0sed]

Mods, don't get too excited about the success of Headlines... most of the votes are my multis...

[SWeko]

Goooooooooo B!

Yeah, I know, rj's map is an aesthetic wonderment (as always), but oak's map is pure unadulterated brilliance.

True dat. oak's got my vote.

No matter who wins, the ugliest map will become one of the most beautifull.

[Bones2484]

I also voted for B (and I really like C), but A would not disappoint me either. It's extremely well done.

[Kilazul]

I have to say it was hard to pick. All of the maps are amazing looking in their own right.

Nice work to all of those who put effort into this!!!!

[whitestazn88]

so i haven't checked in a while... all the maps improved nicely, but my vote went to oak.

hopefully you can pull it off oak!!!

[RjBeals]

Oak you seem to have quite a fan base. It surprises me that you are not in the lead.
