*** November 2012 Mapping Challenge: Maps as Misdirection ***

I personally am undecided about the new voting procedure. On one hand it's a good way for people to recognize the entries (although repping the entrants works just as good) On the other hand if people vote for each entry it could lead to "contaminated" results. I think we should try it for a few challenges and see what happens.

I think we should try it for a few challenges and see what happens.

And that's pretty much what the CLs thought. I think the hope is that it will still create a winner while also providing a more visible appreciation for the rest of the field. I think there have been some real blow outs in the past that look more lopsided than they really were because you only had one vote. If it just clutters up everything I imagine it will go away.

Also, I'm starting to feel like an adict jonesing because I haven't been able to do any artwork lately and I feel like I'm going to explode soon. I've been too busy with my day to day business and by the time I get home I'm just worn out. On the bright side I'm making good money but on the down side my artistic endeavors are being neglected. I hate it and I'm working hard to rectify that but we'll see how it goes.
