    If those people think this is the only possible motive for box mapping, then they are hardly looking at things objectively. Your summary of the thread is also woefully lacking objectivity.

    But this thread is not the place for the discussion. The thread will probably be unlocked eventually, and that is the place for it. I'm just calling attention to the discussion because the people here could provide uniquely valuable insight. The timing was unfortunate because the thread was temporarily locked soon after I made the post. However, that is not an excuse to derail this thread further and use it to continue that discussion here, regardless of which side you take, if any.

    Once the other thread opens up we can continue there. If someone just can't wait, instead of further discussing it here, ask one of the mods to unlock the other thread.


    Exactly, let's stay to task, guys. If you have more boxes, please consider posting them instead of waiting for the maps. I can't tell you how valuable a box is with the guild icons listed.

    I believe you might not be able to see it because there is a post and time limit set on Community Issues. I'm not sure what the specifics are, but I think after 2 weeks and/or x amount of posts you will able to view the discussion (provided it gets unlocked).


    Fair enough. I'll try and keep an eye out for it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Maybe if we can get some of the box mapping enthusiasts posting it won't appear to be so ethically one sided.


    Also, Good news everyone! I am finished with Track B. I just need to check it against another list or two before I give it the 95% seal of approval.

    I'm fairly new to Magic and have never seen the work people have done on this before. I've preordered an entire case for Gatecrash, what sort of information would you guys be after specifically?


    We're basically looking for the rares and their positions in the boxes. Use the sheet on the original post to record their positions and any foils that you come across. As far as Case data goes, I think they are ordered:
    1 3 5
    2 4 6
    I'm not 100% sure on the case order of boxes, but mappers should be able to figure out the box order after we solve the rare map.

    Qwerty59 has also asked for common/uncommon information, if you are interested on doing the book keeping on them. It would be time consuming but exceptionally helpful for determining how commons/uncommons are distributed.

    Also, Qwerty59, thanks for the information about the foils. I went back and took a look at a few boxes, and your map holds up. Maybe with some luck we'll get more case data for gatecrash.

    I'm afraid I don't know the slightest about Belgium box mapping, other than I think they cracked Innistrad before we determined the U.S.A.'s map. Ross' book might still apply, but I would start with reading through all the RTR posts. That should teach you how to map the modern boxes.
