Just because something could be a map, doesn't mean it should...

I'm afraid you're doing the same mistake as many new mapmakers. You're looking at the world with CC-coloured glasses... you go around and see things that would make good CC maps everywhere. But would they actually be any good...?

You had much more potential in that idea of a nuclear power plant, for example. What ever happened to that project?

Before you spend time on a map, put yourself in this situation: Imagine calling up your friends to come over for a game night and then whipping out this map. Do you think they'd be delighted or wish you had a different game instead?

I'm curious. If you figured that this was going to be the reaction, why did you post the map?

Kicks and giggles. I think it'd be kinda neat, but I also thought that people would hate it, since the keyboard idea had such an enthusiastic response. I figure it'd either be hilarious or, by some slim chance, people would actually like it. Win win for me :D It didn't take me long to make so I figured what the hell, right?

Don't be so harsh. I would play all your ideas, but it seems people don't agree.
