Nvm, If you put evil dimwit, It would only be long, and it would make sense because, you would be stipud at bing evil! :idea:


In fact, I chose this name because I like irony... what's wrong with implying that I'm smart?

No
1. chinastan sounds dumb
2. Kids hear about Iraq all the time. Irakistan is more likely.

Don't change irakistan... I laughed loud enough to embarass myself in front of the peeps in the computer room when I read that.

Yeah, I think I'll keep Irakistan as it is. And More Russia.

That's if I can finish the map... my usual computer's down with the Vundo and that's the only one I have Microsoft Photodraw on, and I was using the crayon effect from that program. And, ashamed though I am to say it, I don't have the Paint Shop Pro know-how to replicate it. And I hope I don't lose the unmerged files. 'Cause that would just be a pain.

Certainly better ways, too, but I'd still very much like to have the non-flattened originals.

I love the idea of an 18 territory map and I also love the idea that the map has been drawn by a 6 year old kid.

My only complaint is, while I quite like the odd continent names, some of them dont fit in with the 6 year old theme.

West Nile and East India are the main ones that I would change, as they are just a bit to factual and straightforward to fit in with the theme.

Other than that, great map.

West Nile is named after a virus, and is in fact quite far from the actual location of the Nile. East India is a corruption of East Indies. If I think of anything I deem particularly hilarious to put there, I'll change it.

Come on, Africa isn't all diseases. How about "Safaris" or "Drums" or "Elephants" or Lion King references (Hakuna Matata)? Pigmys? Deserts? Plenty of things for a 6-year-old to be enthused about.

You should clear the writing with Dim before you publish it, if he hasn't seen it yet...

i have no problem with that. as i understand he usually goes by the name of DIM just as me. so he can use it, especially because my nick is DiM with a small i. so no problems here :)

i trully appreciate the intelligence of the above poster. his constructive criticism is unmeasured and he's a great aid in the foudry.

go to flames and do something useless as normal. or better yet, get a life :wink:

weather i like it or not is of no importance. but instead of just saying it's crap i think it would be better to put some effort into helping the map maker improve his work. explain what you don't like and how you'd want it to develop.

and no i'm not stalking you in flames but after seeing your numerous spam posts in which you invited people in flames forum i assumed that place is kinda like your home.

I appreciate your concern, but no one's making you play any map. Or even look at any map. Perhaps if you're so concerned about quality you ought to craft a map of your own? I, for one, would give it a try.


Incidentally, is there any procedure for getting rid of certain posts in a topic? Perhaps on the grounds of obnoxious, flashing signatures? This would be generally appreciable information.

I don't like most of the maps beeing done. I never posted on them, since I know a lot of people like them. I just won't play them.

You should do the same. You don't like this map, don't play it. That's it.

I love this map. The 6 years old concept is genius ( contradictory..uh?) and I beleive you wouldn't have even come as close as good with a concept than Evil DimWit is.

Oh...I agree with DiM once again. Go to flame wars, where you belong. or better, get a life.
