Two reasons: First, the game doesn't tell you a goddamn thing, so you're expected to search every map like there is one, regardless of their presence or not (and a majority of the maps in the game do have one, so that paranoia is warranted). This "blind" experience is the exact thing I'm trying to simulate, and what's the fun in putting up only maps that have monsters?

Second, even when presented with the possibility that there are no monsters on the map, people have guessed 16-6 in favor of there being one. Maybe it's because we're still early, but if that sort of ratio continues throughout the game there won't be that many points given out for no monsters, and in fact, I expect it to decrease when they don't have the supposed benefit of me pointing out there might not be a monster on the map.

At any rate, the update is recorded so submissions are now closed.
