Yeah but with Seven Kingdoms the major differences are no capitals and some additional territories or borders.  With the Pangaea contest, yes the theme is the same but, the maps are by all accounts completely different.

I have not come to a conclusion on this, but I would suggest that abstractly Five and Seven are the same theme, but they should be different boards.  My reservation for the contest is that we knew it would be setup this way from the beginning.

I feel like I'm missing a thread with a bunch of details. Where are we? Who will be voting and how will that all work out? I saw a thread where only one scenario gets submitted, so that detail is agreed upon. What if the desired number of players to be playing is different for each submitted map?

This is very exciting. I'm impressed that some heavyweights we haven't heard from in a while have come out for this. I look forward to seeing these new maps!

The it would just take more or less games.

I read in another post that ideally every voter plays each map and then votes on that. With varying numbers of players, this is going to be difficult to attain unless you can get exactly LCD(desired game sizes) many voters. Hopefully no one made a map requiring 7 players :)

Each voter has to play each map at least once.  You can play the maps more than once if you want.

Okay - I envisioned it as nothing but voters in a game, but you're saying that the voters go out and start games on these maps and they could play with non-voters so that it isn't a huge scheduling nightmare. That works.

I'm no mapmaker but am interested in playing these maps!
