Okay Chilly,
Judging by your last sentence of last post, you were putting things together rather hastily so in skimming fox-orion's words, you put together something which isn't... that his meme is a "deviantart meme", it states this nowhere in his notes on his page (deviantart not mentioned except for instructions on how to search for it at that site where it is posted) and the only use of the word deviantart in his instructions on the template is just part of his homepage address and that is separated from his meme mention by large spaces and a vertical bar.
It is fox-orion's idea, he's not putting a brand name on it and I think it's a considerably larger idea than dA. I credit the man, not where he posts anymore than I'd credit EC for that Frazetta cover that's the first image on my inspiration map. Wait... did I say "my inspiration map"?  Oh yeah...here 
Again, I expect that in your haste, you might not have noticed that I had already thrown down the gauntlet a few hours earlier in the gallery. I had already challenged you and everyone else to do an inspiration map.
Personally, I think it's a fine challenge as is... I think everyone who does it will like the results, I think you will be surprised how much those elements which make this site uniquely HM will be exposed by submissions. I also think we'd learn something about each others art. That said, I'm not much of a "letter of the law" kind of guy, more the "rules as guidelines" type... hell, I didn't even follow fox-orion's instructions myself! He calls for specific numbers of specific tile types and I didn't feel like it so I ignored it. I think your twists on the theme are hilarious! I'd love to see you do either of those although if you chose Non-influence Map, then I would caution against attacking other members of our community as apparently riding the n00bs around like ponies is frowned upon in this establishment. I know I'd like to see you do a classic HM influence (maybe with links?) as it's something I think you're very knowledgeable about the matter and could probably do a better job than anybody else on it. Mainly, I just want to see you step up and do one... whichever route you go with it, I know it'll be uniquely you and damned cool too. So we could contemplate the possibilities for a long time or we could start doing stuff! Sounds like you've got a lot of great ideas for challenges... tell you what, you pick the next one and I'll submit something but first, you've already been called out.  BTW, Starchild will be stepping up.
