Cartographer's Guilde
« on: March 27, 2009, 01:33:27 am »
Found this link on another forum (oddly, the ShadowRun Dumpshock forums).

http://forum.cartographersguild.com//index.php

They make maps!

Check out the current contest.  Using the provided map (I can't download it without an account) fill every square with a watercourse.

So, does this mean we'll get non-rouge maps, because, that would be greater than War Carps, or the idea of Giant Burrowing Wasp.

No idea.

I did however screw around and make this:


A few impossible peaks (but when has that ever stopped DF?), and one world gen even gave me a world that lasted almost 400 years before ending (but not the one I decided to use).

Yes, that's what cartographers do.

Really, though, I don't get it.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

Well, I think of the forum the same way I think of a Con Lang forum: these weirdos do this in their spare time.

Wait, really?  There wasn't anything deeper than that?  I thought my sarcasm would get an explanation of some sort.

[edit]OK, perhaps a tiny explanation is in order: Everything I do, I do for fun.  If it's not fun, I don't do it.  This includes work and dealing with annoying people, odd as that may sound.[/edit]
