Welp here's mine:https https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit? ... 177763&z=5.
After the torando in 2021 some parts of the county still thought they did not need sirens saying they were "unnecessary" and "too noisy". but the rest of the county got sirens old and new and some from WSS

Um, I think when he set the time to 2021, he meant for everyone to use sirens that are likely to be from that time period, not old relics. The name says "fantasy," but I think you may have taken that a little too seriously.

Oh sorry did I not post an info blurb? but I forgot to say all sirens in the system that are old were refurbished and put back up. Thunderbolt well using more maintenance cover longer distances just think it probably for a city that large
it probably cost 300,000 dollars for half that system. it probably cost 3x that if you used shorter ranged sirens.

You need to do more research. There’s a lot more to it than you think.

I agreed.

I don't even expect to win I just do it for fun.

THIS is how it's done, JACOB.

If you saw what Jacob did then you might understand the map a little better.

Going to be perfectly honest: Jacob can make any kind of map he wants, and he should in no way receive this much flak for it. The whole purpose of the Fantasy Siren Map Challenges is to express your creativity, and I think that he is using it as a great outlet. I mean, sure, maybe his maps don't deserve a top spot in the rankings, but dammit if he didn't have fun doing it. Hell, he even said so himself. I'm sorry, but you all lashing out at him for the "quality" of his maps, or for his maps being "unrealistic," is just shallow-based and downright ridiculous. Both of those things, and many of the other reasons for complaint, are entirely relative. His maps aren't the problem, you all are creating it. That's all I have to say.

As for you, how about I judge your map in a biased, one-sided method:
Half of the county is under covered, the other half is too dense, the pins seems hastily placed resulting in a large portion of them being located in the middle of the road, and the choice of T-135's (132's in your case) is rather unrealistic considering most cities that go with American Signal choose solely T-128's.

But do you want my real opinion? It's a pretty nice map. I can see that you worked at least somewhat hard on it (hopefully not to entirely humiliate Jacob), and the placement/choice of sirens is fairly realistic, regardless of there being a few gaps in coverage here and there (but that can be expected, even in real world situations). What I'm saying is, have an open mind. While one's creation may not fit into your preconceived notion of "the perfect map," it's still something that they put time and effort into making, and I think that should be acknowledged. There's no need to call someone out like that in front of everyone just because you don't like something they made. And this goes for everyone, not just Jared. Hopefully you all don't take that the wrong way and instead take something out of it.

Ok heres my take: I agreed what 4J25 said, as what Spencer said Chattanooga has decommissioned their system. After a deadly EF5 tornado in 2021 so it takes place in the future which means it might of remade the sirens. So i will be in jacob585 side.

so whats the next challenge?
