Some very creative stuff. It's just a shame Vivi and Jalyah couldn't finish theirs.
This month's challenge was to "map the Guild" and show a cartographic vision of the CG . The challenge started slowly but was finally filled in with awesome entries!

Yeah, I was really hoping to see Vivi's finished... Excellent entries this month though. I'll have to give this some thought before voting.
Damn this is going to be very hard!! Have to think a bit on my votes !!

How do I choose? On one map I was given my own Tower Room, on the next I was given a Town, on the third I was given a whole species and not to be outdone, one named a star after me! While I cannot be bribed by such things, I don't mind if you keep trying!

I can't help it - i'm vain, when I saw my name on Azelors map I just couldn't help but give it to him.
That small fact aside, it's still an absolutely great map, it was tough to pick between them.
Edit: On second thought, after looking through these again this really was some tough competition, I don't know if my vote could of held up if I would of looked closer at some of them, like Diamonds and TheHoarseWhisperers. I can't give rep to diamond or Azelor due to previously repping them, but you have my congratulations.

After much thought, I decided to only give one vote, since there weren't very many entries. I had to give it to The Hoarse Whisperer, since I felt his entry showed the most imagination and humor.
...Aaaand I couldn't rep anybody except THW. Sorry guys; it's there in spirit.

There are some really great maps this month. Without wanting to sound arrogant (EDIT: something in which I probably failed), I genuinely do think my zoo is one of the best, but Diamond's nudges ahead of it (and it would be unseemly to vote for myself anyway). I'd give Azelor (a very close) 3rd place, Max 4th, and Cirias 5th. It really is a pity the other two entries weren't finished. I especially liked the progress on Vivi's Khartes.

For creativity and originality I went with Diamond and TheHoarseWhisperer (whose I had, somehow, completely not even seen previously). I love -Max-' tower, the final design (plus bonus guide on his process) was amazing, I just think the idea is a little too generic in comparison to the other entries and could have been any tower for any map.
