It isn't just Andy that feels that way about the borders.

The problem is the current ones don't look like one of the three brush examples.

cairnswk and I can persuade the big men that you don't have to make these changes, but everyone will be happier if you do. You just need to find a program (photoshop 8 should do it exactly as shown) and go over all the borders with the brush style.

Andy its these a ignoring stage for these map?Its pass 7 days and you still not answer to mine last reply.

Still you dont read what i wrote,you are a big boss and if you dont belive me that all borders is same,you can demand that i show you enlarge part of PLAN B with some other part of country. In these way you just strech proces on these map.
I repeat you have two option:
1.You dont belive me and demand to see enlarge part of map with Plan B and some other country border.
2.You belive me and we move to next stage.
I hope that you finaly answer directly and we will finish these job.

I hope that these going fast like in yours Battle of Actium Map,but i dont belive,do you know how many times andy ask Small and large image and xml,and after several days without any feedback,Andy still not quench map,but in Battle of Actium Andy ask for Small and large image XML,and after two days he quench map.

Now im double suprise,before you become CA,you have yours words and yours opinion,and now you
change yours opinion,what hepend

========================
Qwert, I think you are misunderstanding what Coleman was doing. He wasn't saying this 'Needs to be done or else', he was suggesting a way to clear up the borders, addressing the issues raised by myself and a number of others. It was a method to do so, not a demand.
========================

withI still don't see the problem, qwert doesn't see it either

Its look that what Andy say,you must comfirm,even you not agree with that.
First i must say,that i dont see any improvment with yours examples,even more you ruin borders betwen Continent(you erase hem)

========================
My C.A.'s don't have to agree with me...they often do not! And that is alright. If I wanted to choose people who always agree with everything I say, I would've created some C.A. multiple accounts.

As for it not being an improvement, you do make the valid point it ruins in the continental borders, which I liked. So from my perspective, it seems the best way going forward would be to keep the borders as they are (but in future maps, it may be handy to try the method Coleman posted about, as it might avoid all this border debate. )
========================

Its look that Andy want to everybody forget what is real issue with border(what he create) and these is that he belive that borders in Plan B its not same with others country terittory borders.
I see these like new prolonge of these map.I know that im right and Andy is wrong,and i hope that now Andy will be objective for all map authors.

========================
This isn't about you being right and me being wrong, Qwert. It was all debate in regards to the best way to present a quality and polished map.
========================

Cairnswick say that he development everything what people say,me to,but he then wait two day and map be quenched,i waith 7 days and nothing,insted these i give Andys opinion that borders in plan B not same like others terittory,i give hem explanation,and he never come back,and even now he ignore topic.Also borders style in mine map is problem,but in indochina is not problem because when WM say something,then people dont discuse anymore after hes one post.I explane 10 times maybe more,and Andy still dont belive me.
I only can repeat what i say before,and dont get explanation from Andy.

Andy its these a ignoring stage for these map?Its pass 7 days and you still not answer to mine last reply.

I hope that Andy(if i understand from Coleman and Cairnswick post he dont have problem with mine borders style)will apply these border style,and if dont then i will put these map on vacation to wait future time when some new CA will fight agains any subjectivity and give same right to all map authors,and not to few who can create diferent border style and be quenched after two day,and not waith two month.

========================
I think most of this could've been avoided, qwert, if rather than arguing about whether it should be done or shouldn't, it was tested, as Coleman did. As we can see, it actually makes the map look worse. If we would've done this earlier, it could've been avoided. As for equal rights for all cartographers, I know I'll never get you to think everyone is equal .

If you read all of my first post you'd see I still don't see the problem, and like andy said this was just a method suggestion that would likely have removed all opposition to your map. Chances are your map will be quenched with all the others soon.

WM
Because if I made a map with borders like this, everyone would complain. I like blurry maps. I s that OK?

I think the main issue with qwert is his unwillingness to attempt suggestions. If someone suggests changing a border to a brush instead of a pencil, he complains complains for 40 pages. Then people say "it is his style".

His style is good and I do also like his maps. It just amazes me that he would rather complain about making 20 minute changes for 3 weeks instead of making them and then comparing the two.
