AiOS Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Seems like the expert has come to save us....I was the OP and cartographer for an open RP that ran three years straight on Nationstates. Our map: http://www.gothamloki.com/nconmap.htm Sadly ended when a bunch of newbies demanded RP rule-changes to off-set the fact they needed to start off small while there were many big established nations already in the RP. The OOC debate got so heated it destroyed the RP. But this is totally off topic. My bad. Edited March 18, 2016 by Tyro Leif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukuda Kazuma Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Well, no one's keeping you from trying it out here. I think some of us would gladly have you as our cartographer, after the dozens that failed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda caused me to want to start creating my own maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fukuda Kazuma Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I have to warn you though, there's a certain player who is definately going to be against your rules since it'll do the complete opposite of benefiting him....

Chapsie Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I believe that, we should have laid out rules for our RP, and start the way that the cartographer wishes. As they're kindof like the DM of the RP. Hahahah Quote We have seized the means of production. Though union, and self-governance, we have organized between all peoples of the land.

AiOS Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The problem with this is two-fold; The game allows people's nations to be placed practically on top of one another, as well as nations to be thrown into the sea. Also, to point out another flaw with this otherwise alright concept; The game employs continent-specific resources. This means that if you want to occupy another nation in the roleplay, you're hurting your actual in-game nation's economics or resource exploitation if it's on another continent which houses resources that you don't want to mine/etc. Either way, though.. I don't know a proper answer to this issue, other than to in my iteration of the map 'be reasonable'. I'unno. I think part of the problem comes from the fact that it's a world map of Earth, as opposed to a map of something fictive. You can deal with the "continent specific resource" issue by just assigning a player's actual in-game resources to whichever territory he/she occupy on the RP map. OR create a new planet with continents with their own mix of resources. (That's if resources will actually mean anything practical in the RP, for example if the OP rules state you must account for resources, then they are important. Otherwise, they are just RP fluff and it can be assumed that players get their resources "some how".) The best bet would be a non-Earth map that basically "resets" what territory is truly valuable in the grand sceme of the RP and what's not. The premise of the RP could be a near future colonization, forcing each player to "start from scratch" and keeping the tech level within understanding.

O look, it's the tiny nation that was fond of up-declaring on bigger nations only to lose everything. Yes. I'm sure he will be a valuable contribution to your RP.
