[OOC] Empires of Sand

[Raptorman]

I had made a map as well that showed the extent of the Dominion, which flagg had approved what I had done with it, some were using that one as a base

@Raptorman

Yeah, but you painted half the map grey to show the Dominion's mutual defense pact, which isn't really pertinent to your borders. And it gave half the map a grey filter, which I thought looked really intrusive.

But again, the map I made isn't official. I made it because I was bored and no one was bothering to mark their nations.

[Dead Cruiser]

M1nt's map looks good enough for me, though the empire extends a good ways down the river.

[Pepperm1nts]

Feel free to edit the map to match what you're visualizing. If not, I'll go ahead and expand Azari claims further east down the river the next time I update the map, which should be whenever the other sheets are accepted, and/or when I get around to marking my own claim.

@Pepperm1nts

Maps look pretty good! I think most factions will have settlements outside of their 'borders' but borders in this game are not super important, as long as the settlements are marked.

[Pepperm1nts]

Yeah, that's true. Still, I think it's worth marking "borders" for the sake of helping people make their claims. And even if the environment means that most people will be in the cities, there is likely still an area these cities consider "theirs" and enforce their jurisdiction in. I think the more important thing to emphasize and remember is that just because you are laying claim to an area doesn't mean it's highly populated or secured, since the environment is harsh and uninhabitable. Nations like Azar might be the exception because they are on fertile ground and have the numbers to populate and secure their territory.

@Pepperm1nts

Exactly. 100% agreed.

@Raptorman, @Dead Cruiser, @Chairman Stein, @Darkmatter, @Arawak: lets see some intro posts, folks.

@Rhymer, @clocktowerechos, @Chapatrap still with us?

@Milkman my apologies for not reviewing your sheet yet, I will try to do so tomorrow when I have a spare moment.

@Pepperm1nts Stop procrastinating :) your faction is badass. A brief NS is fine. Jump in.

[Raptorman]

So... do I need to edit this new map or do I still use mine for my stuff?

@Raptorman

Use yours. I will have the 'official' map up sooner or later.

[Milkman]

I am looking forward to start posting in IC :D

[Raptorman]

I sent you a pm with the first part of the post flagg

[ClocktowerEchos]

Welp, my comp just derped and everything I was working on decided to shit itself and I'm not really in the mood to remake about hours worth of work so I'm afraid I'll be pulling out :\

Good luck to everyone else in the RP tho! ^^

@Flagg

Have you found the time yet to review my nationsheet?

[Flagg]

Hi team,

@Dead Cruiser, @Darkmatter, @Pepperm1nts, @Gorgenmast, @Chairman Stein, @Arawak Just checking in to say sorry for not being around, had a crazy weekend. Please, if you're approved, post ICly! Let's not let this die? If it does die, I'm going to recreate a version of it as a fantasy RP in the Advanced section.

@Raptorman sorry for not replying to your PM, will try to do so today

@Milkman sorry again for the continued delay, will look over your sheet shortly.

@Sigma & @Rhymer: still with us?

[gorgenmast]

Screw it, I'm double-posting.

[Raptorman]

Still here.

[Darkmatter]

Still here just mid-moving back to uni! I'll have a post up this week for sure though!

I really hope you will review and aprove shortly. I am filled with idea's that will build further upon what has been posted so far :)

[Sigma]

Still in this :)

[Dead Cruiser]

I'm generally having difficulty coming up with an opening post. I kind of feel like there is so much going on with my nation that it's difficult to narrow down enough of it to an IC post.
