Excellent review of the Oasis map.
It's nice to know people still like playing on it.

ATB
Bond
Chicane
Daft Punk
Darude
DJ Encore
Tiesto
Zero 7

...just to name a few of my favorites.
But these may not fit with this thread, cause you managed to leave out the entire Electronica/Dance genre from your poll, and thats pretty much what all of these are.

which section do I vote for if I want to pick Electronic/Techno/Dance music as my favorite?

I've got one and its pretty awesome. Its nice and warm and about as comfortable as a regular blanket.

My only complaint is that it is too long, so if I try to walk around wearing it I have to hold it up or kick my feet out so I don't trip over it.

If you're in college, get one that supports your ...

An hour? Jeez wca.

Well, the block of time I spent looking for it just now was about an hour.
But I had been doing plenty of searching earlier on in the game.

I win!

Is Lack at the house found on Route Nationale 98 at the coordinates 43°20'50.82"N 6°42'55.45"E?

I can't find the specific street address for you, because I don't know how to get street addresses from Google maps, but here is the house on Google Maps:

is Lack East of La Garonnette ( 6°40' 33" E ) ?

This will just split the area in half again.
Probably a good one, though I'm not going to second it … yet.

Maybe we've used up so many questions we need to ask if he's in Sainte-Maxime? Or perhaps we ask wca's question, then if the answer is no ...

I'm not sure. We're already on Question #13, and we can see from the picture that the body of water stretches out to the horizon. So I post the question:

is lack east of Fréjus, France (43°25′59″N 6°44′13″E)

Hmm…maybe is lack east of Cannes (43° 33′ 4.85″ N, 7° 0′ 45.91″ E)?

seconded.

Don't we currently have him east of 45°56'22" E (The west edge of the docks at Fos-Sur-Mer) anywhere along coast to Italian border?

You can read all the questions and answers on page 1.
He is on mainland France, somewhere east of 45°56'22" E (The west edge of the docks at Fos-Sur-Mer).

And right ...

To split the French coast in half, how about we ask
"is Lack east of 45°56'22" E Longitude (The west edge of the docks at Fos-Sur-Mer)?
that only splits the southern coast of france, it also includes all the east and northern coasts of france,
although it is unlikely that the picture is from the ...

Yeah, once I noticed that I deleted the post.

also, thirded Is Lack on mainland France

fourthed.

*waits patiently*

Just another clarification.
When you say 'he is not west of ______', does that include all possibilities of west, such as northwest or southwest?

So does anyone want to second "Is Lack in Italy or Spain" ?

Just a question to 72o. Not one of the questions, just a clarification on how the game works.
Is it safe to assume that islands in the Mediterranean are included with whatever country owns them? For example, Corsica is part of France. If we asked if Lack was in France, would Corsica be included in ...

I've done a bit of work on this, and I've come up with this picture.

First off, I gave every European country that has at least 10m people a red star on this map.
Then, I used street view information and put a yellow star on every country that has street view AND 10 million people.

This leaves us ...

Is Lack in Western Europe?
Colton, how will you define "Western Europe"? Will you define it as: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5d/Western_Europe_map.svg/280px-Western_Europe_map.svg.png
If so, seconded.

no! Don't do this question.
If you compare the street view map with ...

There is a pretty long-held belief in the foundry that maps that:

A. are simple symmetrical patterns.
B. have little to no theme.
C. are just of the 'here is a cool shape, go conquer it' variety.

generally don't do well.

If a map is symmetrical, or at least has many similar regions, the map will ...

This new version is very good.
Of course, the graphics still need some fixing up, as others have suggested, but the new style works really well with the rest of the theme and looks good overall.

Nicely done.

Next round please!
I want to give it a try this time.

*whooooosh*

Thats the sound of this tournament flying way over the heads of most of Conquerclub's members.

I agree with mibi.
Darker would look better.
You don't even need to go in and change each color, just put some layer effects to make everything a bit darker, which is probably what mibi did to make his example.
