Iron Mapper Challenge

To an extent, I was hoping this approach would leave things more open to interesting interpretations, to be honest I pondered long and hard about adding goblin to the list as it almost rules out a futuristic take on the challenge.

From the list I suggested you could have a range from woodlands through to 100% urban all sharing the same items.

One of the things I really like about this idea is the "title" of it.

We're working on the Lite Mapping Challenge concept, and I think it will please you all...the Iron Mapping Challenge would be another neat addition...but I dunno...will require some thought

I like the name but how will the eventual challenge be different from what we have now?

Smart names are a great thing but so is keeping a good tradition alive - no matter the name.

If you want to tip you hat to the name have a few monthly challenges in this idiom.


If you want to do a 'light' challenge how about we come up with some community map elements. Compass roses, trees, etc... make them a week per element and all the results some sort of progressive license (CC, Gnu etc...).

Not that I am saying the format has to match the show, but for those who have no idea what Iron Chef is, here is a short explanation.

A challenger chef is selected by the producers to "compete". He is brought into the arena and either he(US version) or the host(Japan version) chooses his opponent from a pool(2-5) of "Iron Chefs" who are "masters of their art" The host then reveals the weeks secret ingredient, of which each of 5 meals must consist of said ingredient. As soon as the secret ingredient is revealed, the contestant and his Iron Chef opponent (and their 2 junior chefs each) are allowed exactly 60 minutes to prepare their 5 meals. After time is called, each chef address the judges to explain each of his 5 dishes. Then, the judges rate the entire meal based on use of the secret ingredient, originality and presentation by giving up to 20 points per chef (10, 5 , and 5 IIRC) for a max of 60 points (20 times 3 judges). Winner has the most point total.


EDIT: Allez Cuisine!

The November 07 Challenge kind of worked that way. Yes, it was a "Create an Old West" map, but required a specific list of objects to be included on the map - mountains, hills, butte, cactus, railroad tracks, etc.

So, in a way, we've done a challenge that had this type of setup involved.
