[Abandoned] - The Hamptons

[shakeycat]

The latest map is this one:

[bigimg]http://www.atomation.com/~thazzard/fun/hamptons/hamptonbeach.gif[/bigimg]

I played with options to bring the territory count up from 27 to 32 today, but to no avail. The additional 4 territories are the little boat houses for each club. My options for more territories are breaking apart the land - there IS room in the green and blue areas for an extra territory each. There's also the bottom right corner, but I'm not sure. While a pod of animals, partially submerged, would probably look the best .. I wonder.

With a nautical theme, we could even go the direction of fishing instead of yachting, but I do not know if the area has such activities.

And since we are being told again and again that there is no need for a small map, is it worthwhile to continue?

great

[bigreuben]

if you can make it bigger, then I have an idea how to add territories without adding them actually...
make it one boat per club, but make the in boat as a playing field, with captains, workers, ppl on vocation and other thing that you can think of (or ask someone who actually understand something in boat because it ain't me ).
Or you can do the same with the clubs...
give small bonuses on holding the whole boat (or the whole club) bigger bonuses for the continents...
just an idea...

We have been thinking about dividing up the boats and I think that is what we will do for the next version
Thanks

i know you are already far into the idea of this map but one idea might be to have all of long island

something like this

[bigimg]http://www.tvsc.org/images/MapLI700.gif[/bigimg]

if you were to do this you could make all the land not part of long island grey, but keep the shapes of them for graphics. Also you could keep the same layout(without roads or anything (not like this map) and just keep the major areas) or you could and some highways in the map like the map of New York City and add more territories to the map that way.

Just one idea,
tlane

We have already voted against that idea sorry

Kill come on, you know I working on this map with shakey

[the.killing.44]

Yes, I do, but I mean that you have what, 20-something terts, and you really need more, so maybe you should re-vote, or make a poll.

The next version will bump up to 32

2. The graphics, while better than where you started, are still a far distance from that of recently-quenched products. If you think you have what it takes to improve, then I'd suggest finding an idea that has a broader fan-base of appeal, and working on that - unless you can convince me that this idea has wide appeal (the overwhelming majority of the 171 posts so from only a few commentators).

Now 188 posts and still no significant signs of support or aesthetic leaps forward

Not to seem to out there or rude: but who would those people be?

I really don't think a 5 territory ship will solve our problems ...

Can we just try it anyway?

Hi,

This map is going nowhere I'm sorry to say. I probably wouldn't play it.
I'm sorry to be so harsh but I think you need to hear the truth.

I have already commented that you need far more territories than you have and it seems those comments have been completely ignored. The number of territories is not enough and simply adding a "mega yacht" is simply not going to wash.

The graphics in my opinion are poor, I think you or the graphic 'artist' needs to go away and learn Photoshop from the ground up and get some basic skills onboard.

You say you voted against the inclusion of Long Island, when was this?, because I think that's exactly what you need! Adding Long Island will increase your territories and it's an area that people of actually heard of outside of the Hamptons! This would increase the number of interested people and raise the level of support.

Have a long hard think about what I've said. I'm not trying to be rude or dissuade you from continuing but you need to think about this maps future.

All right I will see if we can add the rest of long island...

I say I am foeing u and Jake now get off my map please...

That's the attitude to get more supporters!
Now, in all seriousness, this map needs to get off its ass, get more terts (Long Island), and have something special in the graphics for it to get anywhere.

make it look more like an actuall land mass, and less like a bunch of brightly colored blobs and sailboats
