Tried to add as many reasonable candidates as possible.

Very tough call...

nice thread.
I wonder who will win.

edbeard · Post by **edbeard** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 11:45 pm

oh. it's a "I'm not allowed to change my vote" poll. I don't like those.

good thing I voted for wm right off the bat (though I could easily change to a few other people).

Oh, I'll edit the poll, I didn't play with the settings much...

EDIT: There we go

Might be a mission for you, but it'd be good if you could list each map each person has created graphics for. A lot of people (like me for example) don't know what maps some of these people have created. Therefore making my decision kinda biased.

I agree.

But that would require work

edbeard · Post by **edbeard** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 11:57 pm

yea. it's a tough call.

some people might say RjBeals has the best map (Iceland).

some people might say wcaclimbing has the best map (Oasis).

lots of other great graphiticians on that list. I apologise for not mentioning them all.

I just look at widowmakers' portfolio and see tons of great looking maps. there's a reason he's done most of the revamps

Agreed. I don't love all of his maps, but overall Wid has the strongest body of work.

Oh, and no voting for yourselves people!

Really, who did you vote for oak

(not saying that you voted for yourself, but then again, who could prove it)

Seeing as no one voted for him...I don't think it's likely he voted for himself

I want to select more than one person

wha? Oasis?

I would like to point out that Age of Realms, Feudal War, Oasis, and various other drafts are all disciples of the Trojan War school of map making. Just felt like pointing that out

I have to say i agree, AoR: Magic has the best gameplay and graphics for me, joint best on the site, but i think the graphics HAVE to go to mibi.
I mean, look at these:

They're professional looking.

no qwert....i acknowledge i don't have the best graphics. WM has the best in my opinion and i voted accordingly.

I was just using examples of what I've seen people say. I've seen people say that these are (or would be) the best looking maps on the site. I didn't know Oasis, AoR and FW were influenced that heavily by your TW tutorials (I know that Haiti is though (which may or may not infuriate you))

And, while I agree with tom about Iraq and TW, I don't see Supermax as being in that top tier. Yea it's easily in the upper echelon of maps but not in that top area.

I'd retort tom's post with such maps as

Canada Revamp
Circus Maximus
Rail USA

I could go on and post three more maps which is my point (as I said before). The pure quantity of maps combined with the quality puts WM over the top for me. mibi's no slouch and if he had the number of maps that WM has, I'm not sure I could pick.

I voted for my main man RJbeals who is badly under represented in this thread.

I agree as well.

Rj has a style that is very simple, elegant and clean.
I love Iceland.
Brazil will be great.
And Charleston is awesome. It gets back to that simple, elegant, solid good looking map.

I still like the old impassables better

Keep it up RJ.

I voted Mibi in the end - but WM or RJ could've very easily got the vote...

I was surprised too. He got mine. It's a tough call, but cairns deserves to be up there.

WidowMakers · Post by **WidowMakers** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 4:36 pm

I do have a question.

Can we compare maps that have not been quenched?
While I agree that mibi is one of the best artists, using his Trojan War map is not really correct.

I think the poll should reflect only quenched or close to quenched maps. Otherwise people can just post any artist work.

If i am being to stupid and picky, please slap me around.
But just asking

WM
