This is an interesting compromise. If something is completely original and new,
it has less impact on the existing site, and needs less rules to make it fit
in. I like this approach a lot, because it helps the cooperation and courtesy
goals, without compromising creativity.

Dave, I like this idea a lot. This is the kind of thing I was hoping for. I'd
just add that maybe if someone's map gets to a mature, interactive-supporting
level, it could be moved from the list of their own personal maps to the common
map, so it can be related to everyone else's creations.

Definitely. Again, this was the direction I was hoping we'd move in, and it
matches what I was originally thinking Castle World would be.

| (...) And just to 'third' the motion, I have to say in general, I agree. I think the original idea was great, but when it got down to the nitty gritty details, problems arose. And furthermore, it really needs to be designed differently. How? Well.. (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
