[OOC] The New Empires

[LancerDancer]

I'd just be happy to see people post some stuff in the IC, rather than spend their time criticising nonsense.

That's right byiatches, I went there. BOOM.

[Peace Keeper]

Well, I'm sort of plotting waiting.

Yeah, I get ya. I just PMed CorinTraven, basically saying if he's too busy to post we should try and work something out. Unless if you are waiting on something else.

[Goldeagle1221]

I'm working on my post, it was put on hold the last two days due to life.

[Goldeagle1221]

Okay this is probably the worst work I have ever written.

[RisenDead]

Still taking on new nations?

[Dinh AaronMk]

I believe we are.

[TheSovereignGrave]

I'm pretty sure we're still accepting new nations.

And I'll get a post up tomorrow. I'm gonna introduce you all to Hanartha's Warden of the East, and he's not going to be happy about Marmon's new expansion.

[Goldeagle1221]

I don't know many people who are happy about that.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I decided on curiosity that before I begin work on my next post I would go in and look at the length of all the posts in the thread so far, compile a words-thus-far total, and then average it out for words per post. This isn't anything practical or to say anything against anyone. Just merely a bit of curiosity. So, on that:

FIRST PAGE
First post: 1941 words
Second post, 440 words
Third post: 1584 words
Fourth post: 1645
Fifth post: 2,387
Sixth post: 1127 words
Seventh post: 1079
Eigth post: 1510 words
Ninth post,: 1720 words
Tenth: 1044
Eleventh: 1017
Twelfth: 1419
13th, mine: 855
14th: 1097
15th: 1395
16th: 988
17th: 1669
18th: 1318
19th: 916
TOTAL: 25,151

PAGE TWO
20th: 1124
21st: 1092
22nd: 1790
23: 843
24: 610
25: 413
26: 2402
27: 1074
28: 1292
29: 916
30: 1141

TOTAL: 12697

Pages total: 37,848 (40065*)
Average words per post: 1261.6 (1335.5*)

(*Totals reached when pasted into word counter as a whole and not compiled in a table post-by-post)

The longest post in the thread thus far was written by myself at 2,402 words. The shortest by good Feigling.

Anything in spoilers did not go to the total words counted, because I wasn't going to click around extra for a couple hundred words. So average and total is accurate within roughly a hundred words or two.

Other data-mining pieces:
Characters: 222,137
-- (No spaces): 182,680
Sentences: 2,359
Paragraphs: 868
Average Sentences (words): 17
-- (Characters): 95

Most used words:
Man - 104 times, 1% of RP
King - 85 times, 1% of RP
Niyo - 79 times, 1% of RP
Eyes - 76 times, 1% of RP
Lord - 72
Face - 70
Long - 63
Men - 62
Marcus - 57 (~1%)
Looked - 56 (~1%)

[Goldeagle1221]

Very interesting, thank you I enjoyed this.

[RisenDead]

Accept me

[Dinh AaronMk]

And knowing Risen I can vouch for him, if that means anything.

[Goldeagle1221]

Flesh it out a little more, please :)

Edit: If Dinh agrees with it, then it must be alright (no sarcasm) I like it, it just needs some meat.

[RisenDead]

I'm going to need more than "Flesh it out". What do you want more of?

[Goldeagle1221]

I dunno, it seems raw. What does a militant elf carry? anything special about their weapons or fighting tactics? how have they remained so isolated in the center of a continent for so long? Where do the majority live? What kind of crimes are rampant?

Just basic stuff to make the reader feel more intimate with the creation.

You also just named a lot of stuff a lot of other people here tend to leave out or forget. Or over generalize.

[Goldeagle1221]

Hey, I'm not gonna argue, whatever works, works.

[Williwiw]

Interested!
Please, tell me where in the map the rainforest is ( I wonder is the ir in the south of the desert of the eastern continent) and wether you are still accepting people and I'll submit my kingdom.

I promise I will make out of the jungle a scary, dangerous place.

We're still accepting. And I imagine it'd be there too, somewhere along the equator. Or the eastern coast of the western continent.

If you're going Aztec or Mayan - judging by your avatar - then I'd like to point out it looks like most coastal regions are dominated by pseudo-Europeans. Particularly in the north.
