Earth CXIV (OOC)

Yesh!! I am teh creetor of teh 104TH Earth! Like, OMG!1 Dis EArth is teh coolest on teh 104th planet and we R0X UR S0x. OmG like TOTALLY. I am teh coolest cuz I have a 104th Earth that nobody else can claim. I am immune to attacks because I live in a parallel universe in which there is only one nation on the planet -- ME!! Surprisingly, I know about all of you. *glares* But you cannot know of me!!

The whole purpose of Earth CXIV is to publically proclaim that I have no imagination. I am not able to draw squiggly lines in MS Paint to make an island or landmass. I am not able to invent up cities and water bodies of my own. I am the product of laziness. I have decided that the REAL-LIFE Earth is the only basis upon which my mind may rest, because I have no desire to RP in a creative manner.

May you worship me. I am the creator of the 104th Earth. I am the God. I made Adam and Eve, v. 104. I made the Sun v. 104. I made the Moon v. 104. I AM THE RULARRR!!!

Now, you are all welcome to ridicule me.

This has been an OOC announcement.

((PS -- This is meant to announce my disdain at the creation of new "Earth's". I think we're up to Earth V by now. I mean, personally, I feel it's ridiculous. So this is not to be taken personally under any circumstances, it's just my way of criticizing the many Earth's that now occupy our universe. Or..each of the five parallel universes that exist. :rolleyes: ))

Hee ... 19 too many. Way to go, Etaros. This ... made me giggle. ^_^

Ok, truth. Nothing says folks can't play however they like, but this idea of 'someone else has what I want and I MUST HAVE rl territory to flash around, so I'm gonna make up a new Earth for it' gets silly. I don't see why anyone has to have rl territories anyway, frankly.

However ... just because I think it's foolish and a childish sort of circular problem, doesn't mean other folks do. And whether you like it, approve of it, disagree with it or not, they've a right to play it.

As always people - ya don't like it? Don't acknowledge it. No one is forcing any of us to play with anyone else.

This made me happy. That's all I have to say about it. I would kill to have North Carolina though. Not literally.

I remember way back when Earth 3 was new, I created Earth 5 and gave myself total dominion over it. Then some bastard had the gall to try and "make" Earth 5 (after Earth 4, of course) and give it away to other people, even though I already owned it! :rolleyes:

This was with another nation, obviously. :P

I agree entirely - this "Earth XXXX" thing is rather silly. Why can't everyone just get along?

Also, I'm seeing people claiming territory all over the place - Chinese Communists in tropical Africa, for instance, just off the top of my head - without considering the difference in culture that would cause. China is not a tropical country, and temperate peoples tend to be susceptible to malaria and yellow fever, et al.

Cultures do change depending upon the climate; for example, during the Sixth century AD there were Teutonic peoples all the way from Scandanavia to North Africa. They were not culturally identical across thirty degrees of latitude; they adapted to fit.

However, I'm probably only noticing this because I'm a rabid world-builder ...

Anyway, with that little rant over;

Why would anyone want to claim RL territory when making your own is so much more fun and interesting?

I agree. In no way am I trying to tell people they can't play the way they wish, but I'm just putting my opinion out there in a rather sarcastic manner. ;)

Current count: 19.Bah. More. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=348544)

Besides, I like this many, many earths. This way, it is less crowded on my own. I might even be able to acquire rural areas! (And a Top- view on sol must be... Funny, to say the least. Like a giant, yet beautiful, traditional dance... Or a string of pearls. Now, to find the woman to wear them...)

The whole Earth IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII concept is pretty stupid since no one is even interested in the RP aspect of it, just so they can say OMG I OWN AFRIKA LOLZ OMG. That's my opinion on it.

Bye.

I still say it's of ill repute and rather wanky. But have fun on your Earth, and I hope the dancing woman pleases you.
