I'm certain that Verteig is the only one who wants this to die.

This is not dead, just ceased. Not deceased, either.

There's an explanation in my sig. Basically, technical difficlties, in more than one way. My scanner isn't up and running at the moment, and my pen is broken as well but that's easier to fix of course. 
Fear not, this isn't dead, just trying to claw its way up a gravelly slope of difficult.

OK, so here's the situation.
The scanner is a bit out of date and won't run with Win7. We're probably getting a new, much better scanner/printer, but the timeframe for that is several weeks on the inside. There are two ways I can deal with that in relation to this NES.
- One, put it on hiatus until the new scanner. Estimated time until restart: 7-8 weeks.
- Two, finish off the map myself, write one much larger update to wrap up this phase, get it scanned elsewhere as a one-off, post all that, finish off the ruleset and start the NES proper. Estimated time until restart: 1-2 weeks, with less input from NESers but at a point where we can get the proper thing going.
I'd like input from you guys as to which of these I do, since I realise the second option does deny you all a lot of your say pertaining to the map. Thoughts?

Do you have a non Win7 laptop, or a friend that has one for a quick one-off?

I don't think so, but I can get it scanned at either of my parents' workplaces. That would hardly work as a regular thing though.

Win 7 is a computer virus. I have a windows 7 computer, what are you asking, Terrance? My vote is for the second option.

Windows 7. If he can scan it once every 2 weeks, we can get 3-4 updates in as he gets his new scanner.

Windows 7 is an operating system, it doesn't gaurantee a scanner? I guess I am confused. Nevermind.

Naw, I saw this thread and checked but... it's just dead.

No, I meant that I saw somebody had posted, and that Optical had also posted.

Ah no!
