Title: The Taijitu Map Revisited
Post by: St Oz on September 02, 2007, 06:32:42 AM
Map for RPers only

Welcome to the new map for national roleplay wh000! Beware these images are not for computers or connections of the faint of RAM/Connection Speed so please be considerate to your computer and prepare your computer for a very big load if it cannot carry it so well. Also, if you view this map and feel as if there's no place for you, then nonsense! Oz will always fit you in no matter the situation!
High Quality (http://map.taijitu.org/taijiturpmappolitical.png)
Low Quality (http://map.taijitu.org/taijiturpmappolitical.jpg)

Now remember the 6 things you must do to be on this map. Thank you

1. Population
2. Ethnicity
3. Preferred Climate/Geography
4. Agricultural Society, Urbanized Society, In-between, Raw Resource Society. (basically it will determine the size of your nation and whatever you choose is what you get, no switching from Agricultural to Urbanized so you get more land... Any notions of this will result in immediate removal from map)
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map." (I won't remove those who have done something and then go AFK, but I will remove those who haven't been active in their account for about a month or so unless informed otherwise)
6. Any other comments you want me to know

If you can find both of the two messages in my Map I'll give ya 25 Tai ^_^

Winner:

Nihilum means it's not really existing yet but it's pre-existing borders that Oz didn't want to erase.

 :clap: Danke! Viele danke!

I believe Saletsia was Hispanic, not Asian/Arab, while Feniexia was Japanese and wanted Islands (probably the ones directly south of the Asian continent). Beyond that, no changes truly necessary. Perhaps make DSA and CSSD smaller, move DSA north and put CSSD south of it, so the American continent isn't entirely taken in case anyone else join. Just suggestions I post so I don't forget to tell you tomorrow cuz you're sleeping now ;)

Population 300,000,000
Ethnicity Asian/ Aztec
Preffered geography Jungles with a lager mountain range and a dessert.
Climate Sub-tropical to tropical
Society In between urbanized and agricultural. ( could you please explain what a raw-resources society means?)
Position If possible could I be placed below Uichi Ryu and Sel `ia.

"I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."

Could I have at least one  coast and the islands in front of it?

Thank you

Sorry Oz.
I saw you put me on an island (or rather small continent, seems a bit large for an Island).
Could you please leave me there.
Forget about the desert and just put a mountain range in the middle running from Southwest to Northeast.
Also thank you and Brundias for clearing that up.
I think I will stay with what I have given in my description except for my position.
And could you chance "Pachamama" on the map in "Terrangar".
I will change my forum name to prevent such misunderstandings in the future, sorry.

2. European. (french)
3. Semi-Tropical/Temperate climate.
4. Urbanized society.
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."
6. If I'm allowed may I have this piece of land?

Hey Oz, since im going to switch over to Kailazerc when the new map comes, i might as well list its stats


1. 750,000
2. European (Scily/Crete)
3. Humid subtropical climate
4. i think its part rural and part urban.
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."
6. Where barakarin is, can you pretty please put Kailazerc on the land where Salestia and Aresel is. Not the Island north of it, but the main piece of land.
Title: Re: The Taijitu Map Revisited
Post by: Feniexia on September 03, 2007, 05:57:57 PM
1. ~3, 5 millions
2. Japanese; high percentage (~30% of european immigrants)
3. See picture. If possible, multiple climate zones, like in RL japan.
4. In between; a few islands + the main one are fully urbanized, the rest is mainly used for agricultural purposes.
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map." for surely. Good that you included this sentence.
6. As Varkour, I want to specify Feniexia's location and borders with an picture:

(http://eon-rpg.rdn-online.com/Feniexia%20position.PNG)

The big island shall be the large capital of Feniexia. Take as much islands as you think it is acceptable.

If you have libertarian everything, you have anarchy. My view of libertarianism is strictly economic and civil rights.

Quote
Libertarians believe everyone is the absolute owner of their own lives

Ownership indicates the support of capitalism, and the concept of owning your own life does not neccessarily mean you need to have the right to vote to own yourself.

And GC - that's just the political compass, I haven't updated it in a while anyway. On the World's Smallest Political Quiz I got 100/100, which is as far libertarian as you can get. Besides, Ron Paul isn't even in the Libertarian Right on the political compass, and it's not like he's not libertarian.

And, finally, Delfos. About "fascist Myroria" - If I do recall correctly...I think my civil rights are "Superb", and yours are "excellent".

      Also, the arpeggio spells something, what I don't know. I see a y, a sideways G, an o, a j,, a E and a A, a T, a m i, the OZ, naturally, a r and a few islands over a ir. Perhaps someone smarter can put those together, I'm just doing my part to help.

2. Ethnicity: Asian
3. Preferred Climate/Geography: Brazil like. i want alot of jungle. also need a large lake with a large island in the center. the island is for my capitol so its probably the most important aspect.
4. Advanced Urban for my capitol. yet most ill be third world, exploited workers so urbanized with a large part of the populace living throughout the jungles in slums and other such shitty places.
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."
6. realy just the island in the lake is the most important part.

4. In-between, Kind of like America where farms and such are prevalent in certain areas, while their are many urbanized areas which survive off the farms.
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map." (I won't remove those who have done something and then go AFK, but I will remove those who haven't been active in their account for about a month or so unless informed otherwise)

Ryazania: No, as someone who lives in an incredibly rural area, let me tell you that the largest variables of wealth occur here and not in cities. Rural areas are one of the few places were you will find the extreme rich (large landowners, bankers, and food processors) and the extreme poor (migrant workers, people out of work, and just about anyone who doesn't have land) living side by side. I honestly don't see why you think having a rural population engenders equality.

I live in a rural area, Brundias/GC (it's hard not to live in a rural area here, I live in friggin' Maine), and we maybe have one extremely rich person in town, just because he owns a housing park. Everyone else, pretty much, is middle-class like my family or upper-middle class over on Main Street. The majority of people here are near-equal when it comes to finances. Even in Lewiston, the second-largest city in Maine, everyone's poor equally. There's a reason why we call the twin cities of Lewiston-Auburn "LA".

I'm just wondering, because, in Feniexian history, the clans built their keeps on those islands, and there were 8 clans who possessed surely more than only one island, so I really wonder why I haven't got more. With the population and armed forces growing, not only the capital growed larger, but also the strongholds on the islands became mainly towns and military outposts. Besides, RPing to colonize a few uninhabited (but maybe some few smaller animals) islands isn't _that_ fun...I mean, what is so much interesting in "23:42: finally, the fuel we need for our construction machines arrived. I think the first housing complex will be finished in about three months." I mean, there aren't even tribesmen, large animals who would endanger the workers or something like that.

Açores and Madeira Islands never had people living in before the Portuguese. Although they are small for a primitive autonomous colony, only sustained by someone else with shipping on and off the island can maintain it. and can't be that far from the mother land., if you ever to it, make in this conditions which are the most realistic.

Title: Re: The Taijitu Map Revisited
Post by: Xyrael on September 09, 2007, 11:57:32 PM
Um those islands would each have ~10,000 people on them, the chances that many islands are uninhabited is nearly impossible. They'd probably even have technology, like AK-74's, T-72 tanks, jeeps with machine guns etc. Hell, the larger islands might even have more, but I'll discuss with Oz the possibilities of fracturing your mainland, but it'd be unfair to give you all or half the islands.

With small, I mean, sized about a small agricultural or fishing village...and I think, in a large nation, there should be more of them. Feniexia might be very centralized, but there are small villages in every large RL nation as far I know...

Hm, maybe I will be RPing colonizing some larger islands...let's see. But I still want some small ones ;) .

EDIT:
@Bender1968: We don't really use much from the NationStates game in the RP section...it's just far too unrealistic. The only thing you must do when you wish a spot on the map, you have to promise you will be RPing. See the first Post in this read for details.

Osafune, that's easy enough to answer.  Instead of having unemployment, you draft them into the army.  The biggest reason India doesn't have the army China has, is there are too many diverse cultures and you can't communicate with them.  While China does have many different dialects, the written language is them same.

Well since we're trying to get things as real as possible here... The three largest populated nations in the world: China, India, the US, all have volunteer armies. China has a population of over 1 bill, and I believe only one of us here does, that means G-C's comment about countries with large populations having mostly conscripts does NOT stand. Most countries have laws that allow them to draft people, but that's usually reserved for war or when tensions are high and it looks like there's going to be one.

Population determines how large your nation is and people would prefer if you RPed the effects of a large nation such as 700,000,000. For a nation without these effects I would say less than 200 million.

The Taijitu map as currently constructed is understood as being part of a world.  Yes, you could reach the other side of the map by sailing off the border and around the world, but there are several problems with this.  First, the world is a big place, and if you try to circumnavigate it any conflict would probably be over before you could reach it in this manner.  Second, the other areas of the world belong to other regions, and they will use all the IGNORE power they've got to prevent you from sailing/flying/marching through their territory.

First, population is 1 billion.. and it's Empire, so you won;t have to worry about a dictator...

and i just want some desert, few highlands and mountains along with the lots/or little islands off the coast. for the desert, i would prefer it to be on the North West side, mountain/highland South West, and fertile good lands to East and coasts on the South and East... come to think of it.. it somewhat resembles China... well don't care about that... I conscript and make em serve for 1.5~3 years but trying to reduce the service time.

I also kinda hope u can gimme a big chunk if possible.(IF POSSIBLE< !IF! >)

and if u need to u can put me in some cold region... or get ridda desert. But i seriously don't want to be in hot place like Africa or Middle East like place. SO I hope everything can work out.

3.anyplace is fine except the hot places like Africa and such. prefer cold places like Russia, or Scandinavia, I'd like to have mountain on the West, some good piece of land to east and coast to east and south.

4It's highly urbanized, but place that are agricultural, is densley agricultural. So.... i would rather choose Urbanized than agricultural, but i hope the highland/mountain regions will be agricultural.

Um, GC, just because we have Asiatic populations doesn't mean they have to go in the "Asian continent" area.
Yes they do.  That's the whole point of the ethnically-based map: so that the ethnic distribution makes sense.  The only way that an asiatic population would end up on the European Continent is if you wrote a detailed (as opposed to cursory) history of how it got there and submitted it to either Oz, I-S, or myself.  Remember that the Taijitu map does not represent a globe.

On the old map, and in the Lexicon before that, we had European nations next to Asiatic nations next to African nations next to American Aboriginal nations next to Middle Eastern nations, and it made no sense whatsoever.

Oz has not put either of us on the map due to his personal dislike of both Osafune and myself, and has had the gall to personally ask me to bribe him 25% of my tai to get on the map whilst other people are on it who want to RP as much as I do.
I'll talk to him on MSN about this.  I'm sure that your request for an incongruous position has something to do with your not getting on the map.  I'm equally sure that Oz is not excluding you for personal reasons.  He tried something like that a while back, and it didn't turn out too well, which encourages me to believe that he learned some sort of lesson.

Post by: Quoveri on September 22, 2007, 01:43:55 PM
I hope I'm not too much of a newb to grab a spot - but if I can, here's the basic description. (I'm gonna be real specific with the geography, which you do not have to accomodate at all. I'll edit my geography text to fit all the neccesary changes based off the plot that you choose.

1. Population: 60 Million

2. Ethnicity: Caucasian

3. Preferred Climate/Geography:

Overview: In case you do decide to use the basic setup I'm going to articulate here (which would be divine of you), what I basically need is a country with an Western and a Southern coast. It would be incredibly awesome of you if the plot you chose was mainland.  :)

Climate: The climate of Quoveri is relatively temperate, its summers warm but not hot, with its winters shedding snow onto the landscape. Thunderstorms will occasionally visit their wrath upon the coast, but nothing like a hurricane. There has only been one tornado in history to accumulate their, and it lasted 27.9 second, killing only a cat. The ocean's air keeps most of the people healthy, and it rains once every two weeks.

Geography:
The West: The Western Coast is lined by the Knore Mountain Range, a stretch of mountains that runs from north/south, the highest peak being ten thousand feet. Running through the range is a river called the Gunry, which snakes through the valleys and runs northward. It is also known as the Western River. Nestled on the eastern side of these moutains is the capital city, Orville (population of 7.5 million), which slopes slowly upward onto Corone Mt. The Gunry river bends from behind Mt. Corone and scoopes into the city, supplying most of the city with clean water. Keeping the Gunry unpolluted is a huge and relatively successful effort made by the city's population.

The East: The Eastern half of Quoveri is seperated from the West by the Gunry's twin river, the Uster (pronounced Uh-ster). The Uster lies just East of Orville, and on its eastern side its bank is dotted with ancient fishing villages, occupied by the oldest of the Quoverian families. The villages, which are formed on the small hills that line the Uster, are known for their epic, charming beauty. Small, well kept, medieval-era inns host large amounts of tourists each year. To the east of the hills (known as the Notter Hills) lies farmland. From the sky it looks much like a patchwork quilt, with small towns every twenty miles or so, all from centuries ago. The main produce of these farms is corn, grapes (vineyards are a big business, with large, old manors gracing them) , and wheat. In the east lie two twin cities, Humwell and Cistell (pronounced Se-stehl), both financial centers, each holding populations around five million. Humwell lines directly north of Cistell, seperated by the large Lake Bure (32 by 14 miles). Humwell River feeds into Lake Bure, running south, straight through Humwell like a scar. South of Lake Bure is Cistell, which is identically halved by a river, this time being Cistell River, which runs north, all the way from the southern coast. Both cities represent different aspects of the country. Cistell is known for producing Quoveri's greatest artist, while Humwell is the home of Quoveri's stock market, being the financial capital.

The South: The southern region of Quoveri is focused on the coast, which is rocky. A highway runs along the entire thing, providing a constant, epic view of the obviously cold ocean. Along the coast lies Quoveri's biggest city - Port Charle (prounounced Port Char-lei). The city is a large seaport, its center perched a top a large hill,  with large, ancient stone piers jutting out into the sea at the bottom. Its body is on the slopes, old cobblestone streets trailing down to the water. It is represented on many post cards with its national landmark, the Ashton Lighthouse, an incredibly old lighthouse the runs to this day, guiding midnight arrivals into Charle's busy mouth. The population ranks among 8 million. The city is also famous for its delicious cuisine, being mainly seafood such as lobster and clam.

The North: There is not much to say about the north in Quoveri. It is located north of Humwell, with a small but tall mountain range which is occupied by the tallest mountain in the country, the eleven thousand foot Mt. Garvey. The prestigious Garvey Ski Resort is a government business that attracts large numbers of tourists each year. Other than the skiing, it is great mountain climbing, protected as one of the country's national parks (Garvey Park), marked by Garvey Castle, which is just west of the ski resort, a giant medieval castle that was refitted into the nation's classiest hotel. Other than that, the North is coniferous forest which are protected as part of the park, and are to never be settled, a haven for wildlife. Ancient dirt paths run through it for tourists, yet rules prohibit any cars that are not hybrid from driving through it.




4. Society: Quoveri is quite simply an in-between society. Its landscape holds four old, beautiful cities, yet it also has great, productive farmland. Focused on protecting its culture and landmarks, the government is relatively neutral on most outside affiars but when it does get involved, it is quite lethal. Another biggie is education, the education department's famous motto being "With the Future In Mind".

5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."

6. I understand this looks like an elitist nation. But there are weaknesses. Think of it as a less neutral Switzerland with more of a Maine-ish climate and a different medieval feel. More ocean front, too. I would really like a medium sized plot.  :-P Don't bother accomodating the geographical description too much if you can't. Just it would be godly if you gave it a mainland plot with south and western coasts, its east and north bordered by other countries. Thanks! A! Lot!

1. Population of 238 million,
2. Mostly Iranic, or Germano-Iranic population, with significant Turko-Semitic and Hellenic minorities,
3. Preferred Climate of temperate to sub-tropical with a mixed geography consisting of a long single coastline, with a good mix of flatland and mountains/foot-hills,
4. Recently Urbanized Society still supported by an diminishing though well established (and wealthy) rural society
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map." (I won't remove those who have done something and then go AFK, but I will remove those who haven't been active in their account for about a month or so unless informed otherwise)
6.  I appreciate the consideration and look forward to developing my nation (and the land it comes to occupy) into something worthy of being in Taijitu.

1. Population: 459 million as of 09/26. See nation: Saradia al Ahsa (http://www.nationstates.net/saradia_al_ahsa)
2. Ethnicity: Arabian
3. Preferred Climate/Geography: (Sub)Tropical Desert
4. Agricultural Society, Urbanized Society, In-between, Raw Resource Society: I'm not sure what "Raw Resource Society" exactly means but it sounds intriguing. I'll go with that or "In-between."
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map." Indeed! I intend to start a thread regarding a civil war within my Taiji' nation.
6. Any other comments... I'm pretty sure that's about it.

Hey Oz, I want a country named Hadera right next to where you plan to put Saradia al Ahsa.

 1. Population: 15 mill
2. Ethnicity: Hebrew with an Arbic-ish minority
3. Preferred Climate/Geography: Arid and land-locked, bordering Saradia al Ahsa, wouldn't mind a river going through the middle. That's where most of the population will live, I wouldn't mind a relatively small nation.
4. raw resource I guess
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map again."
6. I'm Osafune. Hadera will be my puppet country for the purposes of the Saradian Civil War rp, I will not ally it with my main country of Collosea. If anything, Hadera and Collosea will be at war at some point kinda like I-S and DSA.

Population density is the key factor, all depends on the size of land Oz gave you (Oz are you giving us a number for the scale anytime soon?).  China has the third largest national landmass in the world and a well developed civilization, hence it isn't as cripple economically as other smaller countries.

In any case Kaleckton, I don't see how 900 million people could had poof up on some island landmass. Agriculture will limit such population growth and I doubt a well educated workforce will have so much kids.

1. Approximately 134,613,702

2. Mostly European (Mostly Central, Southern, and Eastern European with a some SW Asian and a little bit of Western and Northern European)

3. Has a  cool and wet climate along its western coast, which is dominated by a major river delta.  Also has a small dry and cool temperate northern inland region dominated by small amounts of taiga, lots of deciduous forests, a few small mountains, and expansive hilly grasslands.  The central and some of the southern regions of the country is a warm and somewhat dry area that is something in between temperate subtropical.  This region has with mostly flat grasslands with the occasional mountain or valley.  The rest of the south is a warm and wet subtropical area with rivers, lakes, thick deciduous forests and the occasional dirt road or secluded expanse of fields and arable land in clearings. 

4. A cluster of a few very urbanized cities with lots of suburbs, but also lots of agricultural land on the Eastern borders of the nation and heavy agriculture in the some secluded areas of the south; ultimately the area of Setiwiktra has a balance of about 5% city, 40% suburbs, 25% farms and/or scattered rural villages, and 30% forests and national parks.  However, forests are constantly being cleared, farmers are moving to cities, suburbs are sprawling into what was once rural farmland, and the heavy urban cluster is lurching outward, fueling the urbanization and expansion of the surrounding suburbs (thus, the nation is growing steadily more urbanized).

5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."

6. My county's name is Setiwiktra.  If there are any problems or suggestions you'd like to make, let me know and I'll adjust my application appropriately.

I have a problem.  I already have an RP on the NS forums which defines my nations basic geography (primarily, it must be an island and must have a peninsula on the south side somewhere) and, more importantly, my population, which is 200 million-ish (no, this is not using trackers).  I don't think there's any island on the current map that big, let alone with the required peninsula...but I don't want to just ditch the Cantr Wars from my nations history so I can fit on the map, nor do I want to ret-con my nations radically terraformed geography.

Also, what other regions are included in the world Taijitu is staged in?  If all other RPing nations are involved in the world our region is located in, then we pathetic little hundred-million man nations stand no chance against their monstrous 2 billion man behemoths with frightening economies to boot, and we also exist on a planet which is most likely similar in size to the sun.

Haradrim is the king of Geradin. Geradin was already put on the map next to the Asian continent, and Geradin himself hasn't posted in nearly a month.

I don't know if you bozos heard me say that the Heradrim Empire is sort of a Rival against the PI and the other "powerful" countries that have submitted land. Any nation it goes up against 1 on 1 will lose by numbers and military. However natural Benefactors such as impassable terrains and such as that will result in a victory for you but likely to be in the shit hole after the war because you made no attack on Heradrim.

Basically the purpose of Haradrim is a power balance against nations in PI and other organizations, I made it however I'm not going to RP it, I'll let someone else RP it but I will not name who it is and for what purpose except to keep a small balance.

I have a special request, oh great and powerful Oz. To complement your square island, could you please create Tritopea as discussed? An island that will fit 100 people should be acceptable. I do intend to RP it.

(Tritopea the nation is in the RR right now and NS is having server trouble, but it does exist and will be in Taijitu shortly).

here's my nation: http://www.nationstates.net/tritopea

here's my 6 things (I'm not real familiar with the application process, so bear with me)

2. Triangular
3. Maybe some triangular mountains. and a triangular island, too.
4. i think I want an urban society, but a small city because I only want 100 ppl. Maybe have an economy based on manufacturing triangular trinkets or harvesting triangular shaped fish. Can I have triangular shaped fish, because that would be really cool.

Yo St.Oz man, spekaing of which, i read couple replies before... and realized this...

HARADRIM was my country's leader... So what's with the Haradrim Empire... Are you like suggesting or making that my leader was exhiled from my country and went over to some other land and created super large country? Last time i checked our former leader was under a house arrest and same goes for rest of Haradrim caln meember after the coup.

Is this somekind of Ironic coincidence or just plain copy off... If it is, i demand a answer immediately! In fact my message box was flooded with question, "Are you the one behind the Haradrim Empire" or "Are u the Haradrim Empire".

I demand some kinda explanation for this, man,  and some recuperation to the Geradin Empire's dignity.

Well if you people want to meet the Haradrim Empire so badly I don't see why you don't speak to him... I'm sure he'd be willing to answer, as for some things I can speak for Haradrim...

First off, Geradin, it was actually first formed by Eluvatar and the name is based off of Tolkien's fictional empire, Haradrim. So really, you're not the only Tolkien fan... woo.. hoo...

And good sir you do not know what a flooding is until you've met my message box..

It has nothing to do with your nation and it is not suggesting anything about your leader being exiled or any other generic horseshit. Haradrim is Haradrim, not Geradin and if you want more answers why don't you have a nice chat with Haradrim...

Honestly, I'm not going to fix it until I update the map again. So shush already... I was informed already of that mistake and I thanked the person who caught that mistake... I will fix it promptly and as soon as I can! Repeating it will only piss me off and you already know what happened to Govindia when he pushed me to my last button...

So I come home and I get a message that prompts me, no demands me to look at this page and what do I see? I'm not a dumbass Geradin, I can look at my own threads and you don't need to demand me to read something asap. I read what I read when I read it! What really offends me is that you're asking for more land than I gave you. Why don't you RP taking over something instead of asking me about it? This map is effected by the stories that you present to everyone, not by your kissing up to the "great cartographer". I don't think I'm a great cartographer so much as just a map manager. I make a map, I put people on it, I have to listen to all the bullshit you people put in my thread, and then I have to sort it all out! I don't care if you want this or that, that Haradrim is so much larger why can't I be that large, or the fact that there's two costernages by mistake and you want one of them because that all makes sense... I'm not condemning you Geradin, just telling you what I'm thinking right now, and that is the map is not the representation of your balls but of the stories that are generated by this map! I don't care if your the queen of england, the CEO that promises me money, my dream-girl, or my dear grandmother giving me delicious pancakes! You will create stories not just to invade lands but to entertain everyone! I don't care if you're as large as Haradrim or as small as Takasia, everyone would enjoy RP a little more if they sacrificed stupid ambitions for a great story. What RP is, is what you create, the image of a society, the image of people that lead this society, the image of your people's emotions, sufferings, happiness, blessings, honors, ambitions, beliefs! My god why are we cursed by our inept ambitions just so you can say how technological or powerful you are? Well to answer that rhetorical question so recklessly, Bullshit! And Bullshit it will always be! People are not little automatons that yell out "for the empire". Give them some thought, some feeling. Have that feeling, their wishes grant you the right of passage to entertain us. It's what you create, not what you spew from wild sources about numbers and phrases. I've heard it all, give me something else. Give us something else to read that's enjoyable and thought worthy.


... And for those who dare not read such a large post, let me sum it up. *rant rant rant rant rant* Why do most of you suck at RP and why do you drift your minds away? Also if you are too estranged by my rant, might you consider to continue your mindless violence and ambitions on video games than rather spewing out the crap that you write so blatantly!
Title: Re: The Taijitu Map Revisited
Post by: Geradin on December 03, 2007, 07:07:28 AM
Well, first of all, i clearly now see the reason why you are angry. well, i must say i have heard worse things before, and i know you are not out to insult me and such. But here are my points that i need to make out.

1st, "great cartographer", you said somethign about kissing up. Personally, i never kissed up to anyone in my life, believe it or not except my parents. Not that i care what you say. But I NEVER KISSED UP TO ANYONE IN MY LIFE.

2nd, i'm glad you got that all out, but here is my question for you. Instead of you exploding like that, why don't you answer faster about it? i'm sure you think i'm bother you with repetive messages, but did you know, those messages actualyl started about  last couple of weeks? maybe you can explain, or answer back about my question SOONER.

3rd, Haradrim Empire, i don't care about it, i don't care how big the size is. Neither do i want to be THAT BIG! in my statistics and news and every post about my nation i posted over 2 BILLION PEOPLE! so you think 2 BILLION people can live in that small a country? I HAD GREAT DEAL OF PMs COMING IN JUST FOR THAT! and, just for a note, i wrote down 2 billion before you even made my country. so maybe if i had a bit of more land, i thought they might shut up and leave me alone.

4th, Yes, i try to have fun, but somtimes its hard to have fun when some people are ERASING MY POST! i now, had about couple posts gone. I'm not saying its you, or its your fault. Now i can bet to anyone, (ANYONE) that nothing in it was offensive or had a swearing word in it. i posted it, next day i come in, chekc for it, DAMN! IT"S ****ING GONE! WOW! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO PLAY RP WHEN SOMEONE'S POST JUST GOES MISSING?

5th, my Geradin Empire is only a Empire by name. Like a i dunno, some country that happens to be. United Kingdom is called Kingdom, but it only has a queen that does noting with politics. Plus I WAS THINKING ABOUT CHANGING FROM EMPIRE TO MAYBE SOMETHING LITTLE BETTER.

6th, i'm not asking you to make me big like Haradrim Empire, or Canadian Empire or whatever the other big countries are! I'm only asking you to make it more realistic. You seem to like realism in the Rping, well would you cram up 2 billion people in some small country as Syria, or Jordan and expect it to mkae sense?
Couple of days i'm gone and boom, hundreds of message just awaits you in mail box. ( To be exact, about 89 i believe....) Maybe that's what you get a average of day. BUT THAT"S NOT WHAT I GET AVERAGE A DAY.  ALL CONCERNING ABOUT FRIGGIN HARADRIM EMPIRE AND MY COUNTRY"S POPULATION

7th, I believe i didn't "Demand" you to look at it. i believe i wrote Plz, and thank you. I'm not demanding you to do ANYTHING!

8th to any of your replys or Pm have i, ever in any case used A MOCKING OR INSULTING WORD TO YOU? HAVE I? I MIGHT HAVE ANNOYED YOU, used a word demand OR SUCH THING AS THAT BUT DID I? BUT WHY ARE YOU MOCKING ME? "ooh!, i want that, and that and that!" I don't go like that, but it seems like you think i go like that! WELL I GOT A NEWS FOR YOU BIG BOY! INSULTING SOME ONE YOU DON"T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME, THAT I CONSIDER EXTREMLY RUDE! AND I NEVER INSULT OR MOCK SOMEBODY THAT I DON"T KNOW, UNLESS THEY DO THAT FIRST!

9th, I'm sorry about not posting such a great topics and etc. but i am preoccupied with a clan war, in my game. I suppose you don't devote everything in your life in to this. Same goes for me. I have other things to do that games and this, and if i have a time left over, i come and do this or my game. But with recent clan war going, i don't seems to have time for this, i already posted alot of excuses for that, but i CAN"T POST THE DAMN EXCUSE IN EVERY SECTION AND EVERY THREAD!

10th and my last section in my reply, i'm not going to hold any grudges or anything of such agaisnt you. Erase my country form the map if you want, in fact go ahead and do that if it'll make you happier. i don't mind, i can certainly keep playing Rp without my country being on map. i'll amke out coupel of points

-IF you want to give me hard times in things such as this, and etc, go ahead, erase all my posts, and etc. BUT KNOW THIS! IF IT COMES TO WHO STARTED THIS, ITS GOING TO BE YOU.
-I AM NOT HERE TO BRAG ABOUT STUFF, BUT persoanlly ever in my life, i have never lost a arugment/battle of logic. AND THAT IS NEVER, i have occasionally actually given up the whole debate, because opponent is too SELF CONCEITED and didn't accept any of new idead, but HIS OWN!
-(THis isjust in case you are a racist, just in case, and know that i'm asian) You maybe the white guy who was living in the North America before i came over as a asian immigrant, but you don't have the right over the land as much as me. It was the Aboriginal people's land, just because your nation came over and took it up, doesn't mean it's rightfully yours. HAve you ever thought about anything what North American country would be without Asians and black people? well, here's a example. if all asians and black people leave the North America, your labor force will reduce at least by 25%~50% depending on country and state you are livign in. with China gone to manufacture your thigns, the material price will skyrocket, with middle eastern countries gone to produce you oil, the oil price will also skyrocket. resulting in economical disaster. soon, asians aren't going to be around to clean your craps up, you got to do it by yourself. there will be people starving right off the street, there will be kids without their toys, because it's too expensive. Now thigns have gotten expansive, no one's buyind it! Since no one's buyind anything, companies are closign up. If they clsoe up, people get fired. if they get fired, no more steady income! you don't have much monye your self, than you end up in street, starving off to a death! That's whats goign to happen to North America is all asians are gone, (Now just to let you know, that was just in case you were racist, just in case)

-Personall,y i'm not mad at you for posting such as that thing to me, but if you want the fighting to be on, it's on. If a cat's out of a bag, it's out of a bag. If you want to be friend and we get alogn well after, well that's also fine, or if you still don't like me and etc, and go on with insulting, well that's also fine. No matter what your decision is, it's fine to me, you can choose to NVM me for all i care.

Now i know, you're old enough to know this, and you are probably thinking this and that, but i hope in a future, we won't have to explode on each other like this, and maintain a good relationship. WHo knows, maybe we will even be friends, but it's also your choice.

-I knowthat you already knwo this, but don't have too high expectations fo people, and i learned this as an immigrant in canada, there are diver people in here, and i learned to accpet diversity of people.
 hmm, speaking of a dream girl, i have one, not too far away form my house. She isn't waht people would exactly call "hot", but she is pretty attractive to me.
Anyway, i cna leave all of these behind and start fresh over with you Oz, if you are willing to.

Sincerely, with regards, Ryan Armedellious Gregory Lee.

Anyways, regarding this "I AM NOT HERE TO BRAG ABOUT STUFF, BUT persoanlly ever in my life, i have never lost a arugment/battle of logic. AND THAT IS NEVER, i have occasionally actually given up the whole debate, because opponent is too SELF CONCEITED and didn't accept any of new idead, but HIS OWN!"

You already lost.

Also faulty is your comment on me ever being a racist. I'm rather offended by that because how do you even know I'm white, and how was I supposed to know you were ever Asian? You even said, "Don't insult someone unless you know them." Anyway, where I live I've grown up with Indians, East-Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and whites... Whites only make about 50-60% of the population of the city. As I say to everyone who calls me a racist, Don't you dare call me a racist! You're all not "Alone" or "special", I've been angered by many people such as Myroria who is obviously a cracker and others such as Govindia who is an Indian. You better be glad I don't act like my Prussian-Baltic background.

First, when i was writing it out in the capital letter i wasn't yelling, just tryign reinforce the point. and i already explained this, i met plenty of racist in US and Canada and hey, they could be everywhere. i even met a racsit that was teacher, police officer and etc. so personaly, i am sorry if you were offended, but i said "If you are racist". I am sorry if you are offended by this, but personally, i don't think i was treating anyone un fairly. Second, i don't care if you are black or white or some yeti living on top of mountain. All people have different idea, i respect it. i know a guy that literally said, all black are problem of america. Well, i didn't exactly liked his idea, but hey it's his. i didn't agree nor disagreed with him. As much as i value Oz's opinion and others, i wish you can do the same to me.

-And Go back to basic english class you asian? some one PM me liked that. and personally, i think that's more of racist than waht i wrote.

-Since cantr told me to be quiet, i hope he could have asked more nicely, i'll drop this entirely. not a squeak about this after this post, unless some one keeps on talking about it.

-I already lost? pfft... i beg to differ Oz. but if you think that way. Have it your way. In fact, i'll even post a official surrender form if you want me to.
-Pachammia, thank you for trying, i hope your friend gets the job
-Back to Cantr, You said i'm dying to write angry post back, but, i'm not angry at him. No not at all, except the guy who sent me a pm about go back to basic english class...
-And please, could you please use nicer language to a matter that is not involvign with you.

-And Oz, well i am sorry, if only 2 sentence were toward me and rest were to general public, well, i guess i made a mistake and owe a apology to you. But there are sometimes mistake in even the common communication, so i hope you will accept my apology, and my stance before hasn't largely changed.

Go ahead, erase my coutnry if it'll make you happier. but i am hoping we can get in better realtion that this, but friend or foe, it's your choice.

How did this suddenly turn into a debate on racism? Perhaps that's why you win all your debates; you bring up the word "racism" and you win because they're afraid of running into Al Sharpton. Blacks or whites or Asians can be racist; stop claiming otherwise. Perhaps you should realize that J.R.R. Tolkien's books are well read around here, and you really didn't RP enough to have one revolve around your leader after you left.

1. ~10-12 million is where I'm going to fix it at
2. mainly vaguely European but with large minorities of other groups
3. not that fussed about climate though nothing too extreme would be good location wise a small island or promontory/peninsula near some other nations would be good
4. Incredibly urban my nation will just be a large city with a few parks
5. "I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."

Sorry what?

I'm on a university network point, my brother was glomin he's also here at the same hall of residence so he used the same computer room, would this be causing the problem whatever it is? Glomin is going to fall apart so you can put it back to being not a nation, my brother gave me permission to do this as he can't continue with this as he is ill and we both have lots of uni work (he's in his third year so he's got a lot) so I'm going to do the falling apart of his nation.

yes he said he'd told people, some people seem to know about that I'll find the thread it was in.  I'm not llanydern though my brother might be as we went Llanederyn high school and he can't spell worth a damn. 

I'm on a university networked work station so that might be causing the problem (its the stupid system they like to use now its several workstations plugged directly into the network hub, its rubbish)  added to this I know there are problems with the uni network and certain sytems I think its something to how our Internet gets out of aberystwyth for example you can't post on wiki from a university Internet connection.

You mean it doesn't make sense in that there's no point in getting a colony if you're not even going to RP with it?  Because if so, anyone with a bit of megalomania will look at a map of Taijitu and wonder how they could get as much of it under their control as humanly possible (trust me on this one).

Or do you mean that the very act of getting five colonies doesn't make sense?  In which case, I really don't know how to make it any more clear.  He...got five colonies.  With just enough RP to get them and nothing else.

Hey, I'm back. After my long hiatus from the taijitu forums, I have decided to do some RP'ing to see what it is like.

Nation: Xaranistan

Population: 90 Million

Ethnicity: Russian/Slavic, but they all speak English as the national language to avoid having to learn to speak all of the 31 or so dialects.

Climate/Geography: Xaranistan has a mainland bordering some country, preferably two of them, and a similar sized island just off of the coast. Terrain is similar to Australia on the mainland, so it has semi-arid desert with the odd mountain chain, and a lush and developed coastline on both the island and the mainland. the mainland has mineral wealth, but the island is more developed and is also the location of the capital.

Society: Urbanised on the island, semi-industrialised on the mainland, which is mainly mining towns and open land with clusters of built-up cities on the coastline. Generally speaking, it is in-between a raw-resources society and an urbanised society.

"I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."

I will make a wiki page sometime as well, just to put all of my nation's info on it.
Oh and this is an area that may be best for me:

THE ECO-REPUBLIC OF GIBIESK

Population: According to current NS statistics, Gibiesk has 258 million inhabitants.

But: I prefer to think of Gibiesk as a country of 60 million on 1-636-20677 M° (= 575,303 km² = 222,138 sq mi).
EDIT: Sorry, there was a miscalculation in the scale of the map. If the map is 5 km per pixel, Gibiesk is a country of only 1.53 million on only 22-5457 M° (= 14,558 km² = 5621 sq mi).

Ethnicity: African

Climate: Tropical (wet and dry season)

Society: Urbanized

I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map.

If possible, I would like to have volcanic islands shaped like this:
(http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1037/gibieskmapsmallwt1.png)
scale: 1 px = 5 km = 3.1 international miles = 2.8 Gibiesk miles

And this map shows the landscape:
(http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/8480/gibieskmountainsac5.png)
The green areas on the map are flat, up to a height of 4 throws (approximately 150 m or 500 ft) above sea level. The orange areas are the low hills, 4-7 throws high (ca. 150-250 m or 500-850 ft). The brown areas are the higher hills. The highest "mountain" in Gibiesk is 8 throws and 28 steps high. That's 314 m or 1030 ft.

Well, it is not like a few inactive nations aren't alright, but there are far too many (including some with names no RL nation would pick, like "Darius Kissenger" :/ )...besides, given the case I try to invade some of the inactive nation, the RP would be rather single-sided; I don't think RPing military actions is so much fun when you are your own opponent. RPing a civil war might be fun one time, but it will get boring if repeated frequently.

At least, I think the inactive nations should be marked as such, if not removed, though I'd still favor a second map purge.

Post by: Xyrael on January 28, 2008, 06:38:28 PM
GIMP is used to create the landmasses. Fireworks 8 / Cs3 are used to draw the borders and write the names. I'm pretty sure photoshop could do the same, but there are more tools available to Fireworks. Ask Oz!!

Although, I talked to him over the weekend he said that he would update the map but that his password to the image hosting server provided by Eluvatar was incorrect (or so I believe he was referring to the server and not his account). Hopefully this problem is remedied shortly.

4. Urbanized Society

Umm, yeah, Bustos... Oz has kinda gone AWOL. We currently don't have anybody to update the map.

I'll give you the same advice I gave Geek Girl, and that's to just pick an unclaimed territory on the map, take a screen shot of it, and update your national stat page so everybody knows where you are.

FYI, most of the capitalist nations are on the Aurorean continent, the one where the nations of Myroria, Collosea, Delfos, Varkour, etc are. You could also stay close to PUR if you wanted this way.

Title: Re: The Taijitu Map Revisited
Post by: Xyrael on February 23, 2008, 12:26:35 AM
Colonies provide no material benefit. The reason for G-C, Moacia, and Oz being my colonies was a pre-RP plan for RP in which they agreed to RP movements for freedom, which was agreed upon by the rp mods. As of late G-C and Oz have quit RP, and I have annexed Moacia (agreed with Oz, we have more rp planned should he return).

The "colonies to the south" I'm referring to are national territories that I call colonies, according to my former national statistics I 'colonized' them in my history, much as Corsica isn't a part of historical France but is part today. As of right now they are the last vestige of my country, along technically with Moacia which has seperate statistics and an economy vastly similar to the Gaza Strip.

Calm down Xyr.

Costernages Is no longer on line and he has lost all interest in the Taijitu RP.
I can assure you that he will not fret in any way and actually I think he has no problems with you taking his land.
I can ask him but I am sure he would tell you the same as I do.

No yet but in the near future my land may also be free for the taking.

Okay...

Population: 250 Million (if this number is meant to be linked to my actual NS nation's listed population on NS.net, I'll change it.)

Ethnicity: Multi ethnic, primarily Caucasian.

Preferred Climate/Geography: Sub-tropic is fine... honestly, as long as it's not something extreme like arctic or desert, I really don't care. Odds say that all the pollution is going to change my nation's climate anyway... As for geography, I'd like a mountain range running right down the middle, but besides that relatively 'flat' is fine.

Society: Hyper-urban, almost all land has been built on.

"I promise to participate in National Roleplay and understand that if I do not I will be removed from the map."

Other: I'd really like a good stretch of shore (maybe 25% of my border?), and an offshore island.

Thank You!

3. A single large mountainous island, its not hot, but still has rainy seasons because of its island status, it does not snow though, or snow is very rare.

RareMetal is Sea and Undersea Going, any warfare conducted is primarily Naval and Areal, fishing is also a large industry. They are excellent in Technology and Manufacturing, so most of their exports are based on taking the raw materials they buy and selling them to other countries. They are lacking in lumber, coal, and meat products. Nuclear materials are used in Nuclear Power plants and some warheads.
