It's OK. I sent you a VM. May I do the Power Plant? :o

Could I just put rocks instead of a mountain?


Sorry Bluejello, I honestly didn't read that D: *STUPIED ME*

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

My computer randomly shut down whilst I was doing the power plant. Now I need to do it again. @_@

Mountain tiles would be better - like BlueJello's outline in the Meteor valley.

OK, Power Plant is done. Uploaded onto Imageshack for better quality:

EDIT: All maps, with better quality / the way you wanted me to do them. :3

Marth, I love you. Will you marry me?

Also; I think you should add a desert to the URPG...

Here is that sky tower you requested, Marth:

Ooookay I'd like to make a suggestion.

Rather than this haphazard display of "you do this and you do this and you do this" that popped up in my absence I propose we do a proper announcement, the kind that puts a bigass notice at the top of the board that says "RECRUITING FOR CARTOGRAPHER SOCIETY" in order to draw people in. We recruit properly for a month, determining who wants to be a map artist. Then we make a bunch of blank 10x10 grids (2000x2000, so 200 Px for each block) and then determine who does what sections. Collaboration should be required to ensure they all fit together. Then we have a stickied thread of maps and have it be so that each square in the grid links to the individual person's map, and that map gets editted accordingly. Then, every month we (yes we, I can do overworlds too) send our new thumbnails to a desginated authority, who shall be titled "Mapkeeper." That way we get lots of map artists so the money doesn't get monopolized by a few people, we have a reliable timing schedule for payments, the maps are much more easily manageable, and it has some actual structure to it.

But the maps are already done, and the thread has been active for quite some time. The original response was poor, and it was only till BlueJelly and Gamedude showed up that it actually came true. Only Mt. Oktori is missing, to be honest, so they shall get paid for the job they've done so far.
However, if any other artist wishes to participate, we can give him or her one of the maps to edit, and so on, for I don't think we'll have enough artists to divide everything as you say. It's the same thing if 10 artists divide 10 maps in 10 parts each, than if each artist does one map, with the exception of map visitor frequencies, of course.

But anyway, I've spoken with the elites. The money so far achieved:
-Gamedude: 6k for two big maps: Gardens & Lakes. Do note that the Lakes are supposed to be a series of small lakes rather than one big sea, but the trainers will delimitate each lake accordingly.
-Bluejelly: 12 k for the remainder of the maps. Do not that Mt. Oktori has not been reviewed yet.

Then, we'll probably pay 500 for each addition made AND approved. We might create a photoshop account for these maps, so that both artists can colaborate on every map. But let's finish every map first.

I still don't personally believe we should limit it to a maximum of eight artists. Even if we're unlikely to get that many, there are no other jobs in URPG where it's mathematically impossible for more people to take it up except for Gym Leading and quite frankly I think that's the fairest way to do it. And while I agree that they should be paid for the work they did already, I still think we should seriously think of a better and more efficient way to do this that opens mapping to more people.

Claiming my 12k. Thanks Marth and the Elite Rangers. :]
