What font did you use? Its a really beautiful one.

[Rare]

Is it too late to join?

EDIT: What am I doing? I am in too many RPs already. Sorry.

[Wilted Rose]

No such thing as too many.

[Vilageidiotx]

Yeah, I just prefer using titles and stuff people know, it can be a pain in the ass remembering made up words, and you don't have to explain stuff as much.

@Kassarock

Usually context will tell you if something is a title. If you feel there might be some uncertainty, you can just explain it in the rp or refer to your title person as "The (title)" enough that people get the jist.

That being said, I think it would be a good idea to borrow things from other apps. The territory might be large enough to hold multiple cultures, but but as a general rule we should still be using similar ideas so it seems like we all exist in the same world at least. The more references you borrow or make, the more the RP will feel like a living world rather than a vague canvass for a bunch of random posts. Bonus points if you especially borrow from people who neighbor you.

[Kassarock]

@Vilageidiotx Tell that to the Indians.

[Vilageidiotx]

They aren't all widely variant and unrelated though...



There are similar cultural threads, and referencing each others posts while also borrowing cultural elements will help to make our world seem somewhat similar too. I'm not saying everyone be the same in everything. I'm just saying we should all make sure to show that all of our stuff is happening in the same world.

[Chapatrap]

I made an app. I hope it's acceptable.

Wilted, do you have steam? We have much to discuss.

[Wilted Rose]

Steam is for nerds who play TF2 and [Insert popular steam game here]

[Chapatrap]

I only use steam to annoy Aaron while he's playing vidya on that fancy American Internet of his.

I'll PM you.

The other factor too would be the influence of an basic regional domination by the Visha who use terms like Raja and Maharaja anyways, which are predominately Sanskrit words. So with that as a factor we'd have that to support some sort of lingual hemegony in that regard. Unless someone's an "invader", which I wouldn't be opposed to.

I'll also account for Chapa later today. But right now I'm already on late crunch time before going to class. I'm just waiting for my tea to boil.

[Vilageidiotx]

The only reason I am using "King" is because the monarchy in Poertia originates from a foreign invader (same reason its called Poertia). When I get more into the native lower nobility, imma start using bastardized versions of the titles the rest of you are using.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Also to answer the previous question: I'm using Kingthings Xander [Regular] for names.

[Dinh AaronMk]

So Chapa was asking for some additional details about the size of the map. Namely how big those little decorative squares I put in the ocean are. With some informal math and calculating I measured them out at being roughly 475.5 tall and wide, or with an area of 226,100.25 kilometers square. About 9 and three-quarters stacked makes up the distance between the 10 degree parallel and 50th.

On a map, the distance between the horizontal parallels (10 degree and 50 degree) is comparable to the distance between Terezigno, Italy and Mukalla City, Yemen.

Also IC is open, it's been open.

Knowing this, I went out of my way to do some comparisons to RL nations from the above linked map.
Svargiya is about the size of Tunisia.
Poertia is about the size of Yemen.
Angor is about the size of Bulgaria or Portugal.
As far as I can tell Manya-Samyaa is about 3/4 the size of Iraq.
And Vos is about the size of Syria.
And if you lump Corsica and Sardinia together you'd get Daria.

Hey Villageidiot, you wouldn't happen to be a Lovecraft fan would you?

Sweet; I have one that looks like this:

I wasn't sure if you choice of Sarnath as a name of a city was from Lovecraft or the actual Indian city.

What season is it? Summer?

@Chapatrap

This is actually a good question.

[Chapatrap]

I'm going to assume its the warm season, since thats when most of these RP's start anyway.
