Description A couple of weeks ago, brainstone described one of his maps, http://www.nmaps.net/194392 , as a 'sandbox'. The rationale behind this term is explained beautifully (and preemptively) by Sweep in his feature of maximo's float park, http://www.nmaps.net/10804. It is similar to my concept of a landscape, http://www.nmaps.net/194742 , yet less uptight - the goal is showmanship, not exploration. I don't know that this is the best example, but I think the term and the concept deserve more attention.
