ROTFLMAO.
So, 3/4 of the maps are oriented north to the top, but, that's apparently not a majority?
This has been, without a doubt, the most bizarre argument I've ever had on En World.
You folks are arguing that despite the fact that most (as in nearly all) maps you will see for the past few hundred years, are oriented north to the top, there is no actual standard for doing this and it's not unusual to do maps that aren't north to the top.
Wow.
Hey, whatever floats your boat. This all started from a rather off hand comment from me that I didn't like it when fantasy cartographers orient maps other than north to the top. Particularly when they are doing it for no justifiable reason. But, again, whatever you want boys and girls.
I'm just sitting here, rather aghast, that this is such an important issue to folks that they'd actually defend it.
