Classic Art

[ParadiceCity9]

Is it permanent? I quite like it so I hope it is..

[Kaplowitz]

I like shapes better

[Fruitcake]

I like it as well. The thought of Hockney beating up Lichtenstein, or Picasso invading Dali is quite amusing.

[Optimus Prime]

I think they are probably both going to stay. That's my guess at least.

[Incandenza]

Duchamp is weak!

[The Wall]

It's an improvement on shapes, at least it has some character. So now I can play sort-of-Classic again. Nicely done.

they were all as bent as a nine bob note. any invasion is going to be one way. one in the pink, two in the Kamchatka.

[hwhrhett]

yeah, very simple, i like it also and hope it gets to stay.

and i think it counts as a new map for your record keeping endeavours...-0

The latest addition to the classic map series gave me an idea, probably already posted by 10 others, but here goes. I suggest that we have a large series of classic maps with the same underlying game play. For Example:

Political classic with different political isms for each continent, i.e., capitalism, Marxism, pacifism, anarchy, despotism, etc. Each sub territory could be famous proponents of each ism.

Galaxy classic with different galaxies for each continent, with important planets for sub territory.

Gender classic with different twists on gender for each continent, 'nuf said.

Political party classic with different political parties for each continent, i.e., greens, republican, democrat, libertarians, socialist, etc., again with famous proponents.

There are probably at least 10 different maps using the same underlying game that would be interesting.

Maybe a bad idea???

the bad idea is posting the same idea in multiple threads...-0

Just trying to find readers and get a reaction. I looked for one main thread on this topic and could find none.

[owenshooter]

Just trolling. (paraphrased)

ahhh, that makes perfect sense... and i am with fruitcake on this one!!-0

[mpjh]

You lie, like McCain.

[owenshooter]

blah, blah, blah...

[mpjh]

LOL - especially when its an idea that we've been talking about in the Foundry for two days! It's a great idea in my opinion, but I'd say mapmakers should wait and see how things play out before we start making 'classic' maps.

But I'm thrilled to see there are at least a few Classic-Art fans out there. I dig it... it needs a bit of polish, but at its heart it is fun and it makes me chuckle.

One idea would be to have an example of each person's work as the "box" that represents them now. That way, it isn't just boxes that are arbitrarily named.

...actually, on second thought that would probably be a legal nightmare. Ignore the above suggestion.

That would also get a bit messy, along with the legality issue..

I don't and I hope it's not permanent ; we need a world map more complex than doodle and less than 2.1

Where is this being discussed in foundry?

We were kicking different ideas around here...

But like I said there, any discussion of creating a new classic or hosting a competition is premature. Right now we just have to put our trust in lack and play Shapes or Art. In Lack We Trust.

[mpjh]

OK, I dropped my idea there. Doesn't seem to be much discussion going on.

Trust is earned.

can you clarify that? do you mean with the art work clashing? hmmmm... that would actually be mega cool.-0

[mpjh]

I do agree with the legality restriction. Art work is usually copyrighted and not practicable in this case. I suggest many different maps on themes that are not copyrighted.
