[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Dinh AaronMk]

Iso's App - On review I only really came to one thing that I had issue with, though small. And I had to bring it up with Hugs and Byrd and we sorta came to the conclusion it wasn't major in itself but worth addressing; if as a reminder.

The Great War would have at the end caused a economic depression, in some way adding to the American-based depression since we're rolling with America kept up its production rates and practices irregardless. The sudden cut in war-time spending ending the mass production of a lot of things as well as Europe having sapped most of its resources would have worsen an already potentially significant international depression.

It's not wholly massive, or not as big as it could be for you. But it's something to consider in the future. Otherwise, we decided you're good to go.

Also, I think 'Eduardo' is pretty much exclusively a first name.

I should read Iso's app now.

Also Hugs, you haven't posted IC in almost a year. Go post, you had plenty of time.

@Dinh AaronMk

I say that he will post...

in another year or two. The least amount would be around six months :)

[Byrd Man]

It's been 11 days since your last post. Sweep around your own porch, bright boy!

[Dinh AaronMk]

A'm workin' on it.

[Isotope]

Oh? I can edit that in real easy, gimme a sec.

Also yes it totally is Hugs, however i ain't know crap and just grabbed a bunch of names off a list and rolled with them, you you know Chilean last names i could use that would be cool.

Nice thing about Ethiopian names. People just use their fathers name as a surname there, so I don't have to think too much.

@Isotope

One thing you can always do is go to the wikipedia page for your nation and scan through names of people who come from there. Take your favorite pieces from several names and you're good to go.

That being said, for Chile I found this. Personally, I like Sepulveda.

[Isotope]

Wow, saving that list!

Thanks vilage! Honestly I like that one too, gonna so use it.

[Jeddaven]

What's Serbia's flag?

[Dinh AaronMk]

Check it.

[Pikachu]

Can I join this or am I to late?

[Pepperm1nts]

There's always a spot. Tell us what nation you'd like to join as and we'll see if that nation is open. If it is, you're free to write up a sheet/app and we'll review it.

Japanese East Indies
Spanish Africa
Pan Africa Empire
Slavic Union

^^

[Dinh AaronMk]

Three of those are basically taken, one is on hold.

Try again.

[Pepperm1nts]

The colored bits on the map are mostly taken. There may be some errors here and there but if they are colored, they have a player.

[Dinh AaronMk]

With the exception of Comintern nations not China.

[Pepperm1nts]

I made a new version of the map. Use it or not, I don't care.

Version without names: http://i.imgur.com/FJRC2Qu.png

Changes:

- Uses softer, less vibrant colors. Color prettiness will always be subjective but I thought some of the colors the other versions used were too bright.

- Painted France and Persia gray because they don't have players.

- Painted NPC Comintern countries gray. Painting them different shades of red like they were before is confusing to anyone unaware of the Comintern, which is pretty much everyone looking to join.

- Made up a symbol for countries in alliances. If you look closely at Comintern countries, you'll notice they are tagged with a symbol the same color as China. That means they are in an alliance dominated by China. The same goes for countries allied with Spain. This way, the countries are gray (eliminating any confusion). The symbols showed up smaller than I thought they were but they are clearly there if you zoom in.

*If India's player is gone, then it should be gray. I left it colored in case its player comes back, and also because I had no idea what shade of gray to use because it's surrounded by all of the shades available.

Sudamerica has multiple spots still, only Brazil, Colombia and Chile have people who are playing as them or are currently working on their app.

I'd think it would be interesting to see a nativist Bolivia.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Zoomed out it's piss impossible to tell Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, or Korea have symbols.

I also don't know if we should mark Mexico or if we'll leave that up to me and Revan to explain.

Also wasn't France in an alliance with Spain too? Maybe not a member of the Iberian League but I could swore they were. Likewise the icons for the the Iberian League are just as small, and I think Ethiopia has an ally in Africa somewhere, but I don't know who.

@Dinh AaronMk

Like I said, the symbols turned out smaller than I intended them to be. Anyone who wants to edit them is free to do so. But I think the symbol-system should remain because the shades-of-red system made Comintern countries very confusing, and made it look to outsiders like all of Asia was taken.
