Map Requests

 * ALL maps must be in full size (i.e., the biggest possible resolution. Maps that are too small get messy and ugly easily)
 * Question the maps for any errors
 * Use "thumb" instead of "frame" when editing pictures, and try to make the map size around 600px.

Mapmakers
If a better base map can be found then use it, but this should be good for now.
