I would be willing to mock up a sketch based on what I know Craigo was
doing. And then perhaps the idea could be presented to all CW interested
persons for a decision before a final map is developed. I could probably
have the initial sketch done fairly quickly -- say a few weeks.
As it stands, I *could* even present Craigo's sketches if it is thought the
sketches were intended for CW, as I feel they were. I have a hard time
deciding such things on my own though. I know Craigo was doing this work
for everyone involved with CW, at the same time I don't want to disparage
his continued participation in CW in any way. Anyone who knows the idea he
had about the maps knows also that it was/is brilliant. Should I or shouldn't
I...?
Not that anyone asked me, but I still see CW as a kind of framing device for
individual balladeers to tell their stories from a central linking site. I
don't like the idea of telling anyone else how they should or shouldn't tell
their stories whether the issue is guns or magic. I figure if cannon can
appear in the canon of Arthuriam literature, we can tolerate that and more
in CW. So to with the map, to me it ought to be intended as a framing
structure, not as some kind of limitation or hindrance to the telling of a
good story. Heck, in addition to a known map, there can almost certainly be
terra incognita. Those not wanting a parcel of known land, can opt for
that. Terra Brickus Incognita anyone?
I guess when Nathan McDowell mentioned the anniversary of CW a few weeks
back, I lamented Craigo's absence as well as the absence of a CW map as was
originally envisioned. I'd love to get the CW fire burning again...!
Any thoughts? I am calling upon all CW regulars for replies in addition to
the expected reply from "Big Daddy" Nazarewicz.

around like they were dead cats...

| (...) I for one would like to see the maps. I also think it would be great if you could step in and help out with the map, you know more about it than most of us and how to implement it.
