Whilst a lot of the maps are nice I voted for the one (Diamond) I also felt best went in the spirit of the challenge with different modified maps instead of just a relabeling.

That's the beauty of art, it's totally up to the viewer to decide what they like. We've often said that in the end the voters decide how well you fit into the criteria.Originally Posted by Yospeck
I would like to defend myself however on the thought that my map is just a relabeling. It is in fact one map that I think would likely cause most to hike out into the dangerous wilds when in fact they only need go a comparatively short distance. I may not have given you that idea just looking at the image (which would be my failure, not yours) but there was a lot of thought into how I could make a map to mislead rather than just giving bad or partial information. The only reason why I show two versions of it was to show how it "Should" look once the riddle is understood. So, that's something for me to work on for next time, if I failed to get the idea across. Of course, if you did get that and still felt I wasn't really in the spirit of the challenge then it's all good too, after all we can't all have the same opinion.
I do want to thank you because I really appreciate it when someone states why the voted the way the do because it helps us (me anyway) to see where I can improve. It's also a gift because it takes your time to post what you felt and sometimes you can catch flak for it. I'm not trying to give you flak, just in case you wondered. I myself happen to really like Diamond's map, it's totally awesome and you don't even have to give a reason why it's being voted on, just look at it. In fact, I told my wife his was the one to beat this round and it still looks that way to me.
And here I was thinking Diamond had some important business matters to attend but no, he's in here posting up maps right and left and doing a right fine job of it too..mumble mumble.....something about a tricky little weasel!! LOL
