[OOC] Fabula Elysia - Medieval Fantasy Nationgame

[GreivousKhan]

Also, where is @Talis? I really really need to speak with him.

[Shorticus]

@Shorticus Why does Iso have more land after dropping that area? Or did something happen I'm not aware of?

@GreivousKhan

@ShorticusWhere did my island go D:

Also why did tails take my land? That was khans to grab.

@Isotope

I might have made a mistake. I'll check it out. I have every old version of the map backed up, so I can revert things if I did a bad thing.

I'll check this out after my tabletop game tonight.

EDIT: I SEE. I got the numbers confused.

I'll fix it pronto.

[GreivousKhan]

@Shorticus Roger that chief.

[Dead Cruiser]

Considering dropping, mostly because there are too many fricking people to keep track of, and it's honestly making me feel kind of stressed.

[MonkeyBusiness]

@Dead Cruiser

If you feel stressed about how many people there are, there is a trick that I have. Try to just focus on those nations right next to you and just manage those relations instead of trying to get everyone involved. It's an easy way to stay managed without getting overwhelmed.

@Shorticus

Also, there is a strip on the mainland for the island nation at the very bottom.

A necessary location for me!

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@the nexerus mind relinquishing control of one of the Arctic islands?

[Shorticus]

Okay, I just woke up and I'm gonna editing the map.

[Shorticus]

Okay. So, a couple notes.

1. I think we have enough HUGE sized empires now, personally. I'm not the deciding factor, but in sheer land size there are three superpowers: 4, 8, and 19. I think we should keep new additions below this size.

2. Honestly, @Isotope, I think you controlling that ENTIRE island is limiting in that it keeps a late entry player from having any kind of territory in the southeast corner of the map. A new player can get involved in the north-east, the south-west, and the north-west presently, or even get involved in the inner sea trade by settling between 9 and 16. I'm not the GM, though, and I could see an easy solution being something akin to a Norman invasion. A player that starts with no land but a fleet of warships could be a great way to grind some gears in this roleplay.

3. I added #23 and #24 to the map. I still haven't gotten a chance to talk more to my nation partner, but if he decides he doesn't want to be settled at #23, I'll just move us somewhere. There's land left to be claimed.

4. What should we do with nation #3? The player has left. I'm kind'a thinking that'd be a good spot for a new player to join in at. Do you want me to put a big (OPEN) tag beneath the number?



And now I need to go finish some writing for my own roleplay. BRB.

@Shorticus

Did he say that in Chatzy?
I don't remember Golem quitting. Also why did you allow him to take the island? The two territories are rather disconnected from each other.
Otherwise I don't think there's an issue with the claim sizes. We have 25 players and it's rather obvious where the rest of the players are going to be if they join. So there's no point in limiting sizes at all. Unless somebody tries to be humble and pick much smaller portion the gaps left on the map are going to be filled one by one if a new player joins.

[Shorticus]

I don't remember Golem quitting.

@Willy Vereb

Previous page:

This is getting too big and clustered for me, I don't think I'll be able to keep track of what's going on. I wish you all an awesome game, but I'm dropping out.

@Golem

So... he did quit, sadly.

Also why did you allow him to take the island? The two territories are rather disconnected from each other.
Otherwise I don't think there's an issue with the claim sizes.

@Willy Vereb

It'll be easy for me to remove the island from #19 if you wish. I leave it up to you. I let him take it because I figured you'd let me know if there was a problem.

[Willy Vereb]

Damn our undeads are dying. That's never a good thing.
Besides the thing with the large playerbase that you only relly need to keep track of the players you actually interact with.
Albeit a banker nation could plausibly have dealings with all 25.

[Shorticus]

@Willy Vereb So to be clear, what would you like me to do with #3 and with the island owned by #19?

[Willy Vereb]

@Willy Vereb So to be clear, what would you like me to do with #3 and with the island owned by #19?

@Shorticus

Let's wait for @Golem to think it through.
I'd rather keep the island open for new players or as an area of contention unless @Isotope can give me a convincing explanation why he needs that island.
His original rain making worms idea doesn't seem to be compatible with navy at all. He said this straight before.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Shorticus is that a tundra I see on 3? Instead of cutting out of 4 I could take that.

[Shorticus]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

It's Tundra, yes!

[POOHEAD189]

Tonight after work I will do my best to fill out my nation's info. I'm tagging everyone who is connected to me via land, and if anyone would like to have a discussion on relations when I am finished, I will tag them as well when I post it.

@Willy Vereb@Sigma@GreivousKhan@Hyperdrive

Also judging from the chat, I think @MonkeyBusiness and I will get along as well

[Slamurai]

@Willy VerebWhen you have the time, I'd recommend updating the first post with the newest itinerations of the map and the list of players/regions that was made recently. It'd save a lot of headache for new folk deciding where to go and clear up some confusion overall.

[Monkeypants]

The name of my place shall be Farastine

[Shorticus]

Okay, just confirming that @Frengo and I are naming our nation at #23 Ardonia.
