*Service Announcement*

I have edited the map to include the names of geographical landmarks. They are contained in yellow text.

(Note: they're the names my nation uses. If anyone else wants to use different names let me know)

Sharina: Granted. The "Citrius-Vastiva (Harlesburg)" means that the colony is called "Citrius-Vastiva" but it belongs to Harlesburg. I'm not sure how it worked out but I think the colony had a Vastivan contribution, hence the name.

As far as the deadweight deadline: I'll be clearing them out either tommorow night or Friday night- I'm not sure how my weekend is shaping so it will be around then.

Hamptonshire: Noted and granted.

The Lightning Star: The red are the mountains. Other than that, this is the rule regarding resources:



The idea is to encourage activity. The longer you stay active, the better your colony is- which makes sense, because the older the colony is, the more likely it will be developed. You're allowed to create whatever resources you want in that area as long as you follow that matrix. The continent is huge- 1.2 times the total area of the Earth's surface (including water)- so there will be plenty of resources to go around.

In the old thread we actually established that the NW corner had a lot of oil, but whether or not you want to keep it that way is up to you, TLS.

Oh, and I like your thread. Your involvement here should be interesting. Can I ask out of curiosity, what is your NS nation about?

Sharina: You're welcome. By the way, not to rag on you or anything but you don't need to update your thread here- all I care about is that there's actually a thread. :)


Ah, I see. What kinda geography is it, though? I.E. Desert, hills, plains, etc.

And the part about my NS nation...:

You ever read Dune? Well, it's kinda like the Empire in that, but, errrr, not. It's situated on an archipelago, and I have a bunch of cities and stuff. There are deserts, mountains, and plains, etc, so very different cultures have emerged. Hence the Great Houses. They are not their own nations in their own right as in Dune, but are still relatively autonomous.

And, of course, they worship the Sun God Helios(which is also the name of their capital).

Further expansion:

Desired Claims (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/hamptonshire/claims.png)

After a long period of tedious counting I came up with the amount of territory that I can claim in a one week period starting today. Finishing the expansion of my colony bordering Branwyn will be complete today. Expanding to the west of my current "River of Life" spanning colony (which is called ICly the Southern Military Colonies) will take the remaining six days.

Hamptonshire: The names in yellow- including "River of Life" are the names of the landmarks, meaning that's what the river's called- at least in my nation's parlance. Also, ICly, I will allow you to expand there provided you sign a NAP with myself and Praetonia, because in order to get those claims you need to get it through my colonial territory.

The Lightning Star: That's for you to decide. Generally speaking, however, the more inland you are the more likely it will be dry (because it's far from water), but how you organize your colonial geography is up to you (provided you follow the economic matrix). It's like the Europeans discovering Africa all over again- there's lots that's unknown and thus it's undefined.

...and no, I haven't read "Dune" (I think I can count on one hand all the novels I've read...it's sad...), though I've heard about it.

I used "River of Life" simply as a way to describe my future holdings. I have yet to come up with 'native' Hamptonian words for landmarks, but am working on it.

As for a NAP, as members of the OMP a "permanent state of Non-Aggression" already exists between our two nations. With that said, I would be more than willing to sign a formalized NAP with you.

Also, as a matter for the record, according to the map, my newly claimed territory on the west bank of the River may have a very, very small shoreline. I'd like your final and uncontestable ruiling on this matter :)

No problem. I just thought I'd put my names on it until we all come up with a consensus on the names.

Consider it signed.

I'll give you this coastline, but it'll be extremely small (it's a pixel wide on the map. Not sure that translates to), so you'll probably need my help anyway. We can work something out if you want.

My guess is one pixel equals something like 100 miles or so, considering Manium = 1.2 size of Earth.

Thank you once again, Rome.



Spurred by the efforts of RomeW, I've come up with the names I'll be using for landmarks (at least until there is a Manium-wide concensus):

RomeW's names are in bold, my names are in Italics. Translations, when appropriate, are listed in parenthesis.


Mare Maiestas- Midtsøgang (Middle Sea)
River of Life- The River Fremskridt (The River Progress)
Durin's Wall- Vastellen Mountains
Empire Bay- Golfe de Néo-Praetone (Gulf of Neo-Praetonia)
The Augustan Range- TransManium Mountain Range
Sheepfruit Island- New Falklands

You're welcome.

What language is that out of curiosity? I know it's Scandinavian but I'm just not sure what.

What language is that out of curiosity? I know it's Scandinavian but I'm just not sure what.

I used three different languages, each one reflecting the different major ethnic groups of Hamptonshire Proper.

Midtsøgang - Danish
The River Fremskridt - Danish
Vastellen Mountains - English (Vastellen is a combination of Vastiva and McClellen)
Golfe de Néo-Praetone - French
TransManium Mountain Range - English
New Falklands - English

Ah I see. I recognized (obviously) the English and I recognized the French, but I wasn't sure what the Scandinavian ones were (though I should know- my girlfriend's half Danish :p ). Though why are the languages used where they are?

I also like the "Vastellen" name- very appropriate if I could say so myself :)

The pattern to naming has to do with Hamptonian culture and the actual physical location of the landmarks. I'll do each name categorically.

Midtsøgang:
As the primary focus of commerce in Hamptonian Manium, the Midtsøgang coastline has been where Hamptonshire's upper classes have come to McClellen to settle and set up new business ventures. In addition, the Royal Armed Forces (RAF) are very active in this area. With a strong attachment to the Danish language and culture among the Hamptonian upper classes and the status of Danish as the second official language (alongside English), the "Inner Sea" was given the name Midtsøgang.

The River Fremskridt:
The same military and economic reasons for the naming of the "Inner Sea" apply to the River. However, since the Hamptonian territory along the river is under the direct control of the Ministry of Defense, the name was actually given to the River by the former Military Governor of the Southwestern Military District.

Golfe de Néo-Praetone:
French is still, to Hamptonshire, the traditional language of international diplomacy. Without direct contact to "Empire Bay", the only dealing Hamptonshire has had with that area of Manium is through diplomatic channels. Additionally, since the Gulf is entirely within Neo-Praetonia the usage of French allows the Gulf to have a culturally, and politically, (to Hamptonians at least) neutral name. Danish, as was mention before, is the language of the upper classes while English is the "Language of the Masses". French has no such class distinction.


The remaining areas are in English because of either their a) relevative unimportance to the Grand Duchy and/or b) status as charted/explored by the Interior Ministry as contrasted to the much more Danish-centric Ministry of Defense.

Interesting. Do the different groups use different names (i.e., do the English-speaking masses use only English names) or are they fluid throughout Hamptonshire?

Oh, and Sharina, I'm in the process of figuring that out :)

When it comes to names of locations, it's pretty much the first group to name it gets the name permanently. Most of the interior of Hamptonshire Proper has Danish/Scandavian landmark names while on the coasts English and French are more prevailent for place names. Once something has a name, it sticks.

It's actually even more complicated than it sounds. Hamptonshire is, ethnically, a Danish majority nation but less than 20% of the population speaks Danish. Most Danish and French names for landmarks have been "Hamptonianized", made into something a little more unique and therefore less "controversial". For example: Eeasen, Harrkona, River Ulnea, Ragaemon, Easlyn.

:eek: I'm guessing you have a lot of language fights and a lot of bureaucracy.

RomeW, I've just thought of something. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I think a couple of ways to make Manium more interesting....

1. Add distinct climates (jungle, desert, plains, boreal forest, tundra, etc.) to make terrain varied and more diverse.

2. Hold some kind of Manium event, like Olympics or something.

:eek: I'm guessing you have a lot of language fights and a lot of bureaucracy.

Language fights, yes. Bureaucracy, well when it comes to Hamptonian bureaucracy the debate and explication of Hamptonian culture and language looks like a children's story in comparison to the Bureaucracy.

Who needs bureaucracy when you have computers and machines do the work for you? :p

Sharina:

1. I've thought of that, but (1) I never really had the time for that and (2) I don't want to penalize the established colonies. What I can do, however, is leave the colonized areas up to the discretion of the colonials, but everything else I can map out "in greater detail". It'll just take me a while though.

2. I like the idea too. Propose the idea in a thread and see how you do. :)

Hamptonshire:

I wonder how you get anything done in your country :p . On second thought, that sounds a lot like home- no matter what us English-Canadians do, those Quebecois just are never satisfied. *sigh*

Oh! I finally figured out how many miles is one pixel on the map:

Square Miles: 222.07
Miles: 14.90

*Service Announcement*

Having figured that all out, I want to run an informal poll: is the claim limit too big, too small or just right? As it stands now, a country can acquire 64,178.51 sq. mi. (twice the size of the island of Ireland) in one RL day. If the limit is too small, I'm willing to go no higher than 1088 pixels (33x33 square), which translates to 241,835.28 sq. mi. However, if you do believe it is too small, keep in mind that these are colonies and they will need time to be properly set up, and larger colonies need more time and effort.

Anyway, please weigh in on this. Any changes to the claiming limit will not be made retroactive, and no one will be penalized for having "too big" or "too small" a colony if such a change occurs.

*El Bumpo*

I have also completed a prelimnary "geological features" map of Manium. It's based on what I think would be the "main" geological features of Manium, but the soils are not necessarily completely the same in all areas of the map (e.g., the desert is drier the further away it is from the coast, some "desert" areas may actually have some agricultural use, etc.). Please weigh in on this (especially considering that the features also pass into colonial territories):

www.geocities.com/dadothegreat2003/maniummapgeography2.png

(Note 1: this is just a draft and is not final.)
(Note 2: the features are just to define the main geological features only and not the soil in every nook and cranny of Manium. Thus, no colonies shall be penalized in any way because of the features- this is just for reference)

I don't know how you did it but you almost perfectly lined up your geological features map with the geological guide I use for my Manium territories. I do have one question, though. You've listed several different soil types but you haven't listed "Forest". While it could be assumed that "Forest" lies within "Plains", the soils and climates of those two different geological areas are quite dissimilar.

1. I would rather have desert in the NW corner, but meh.

2. Er, this will sound kinda noobish, but how do I keep expanding? I mean, I see other people claiming more land but how do I do it?

3. Aren't Jungle and Rainforest the same thing? :p

Hamptonshire: Maybe I can read your mind :eek: That's an odd coincidence....

The Lightning Star:

1. I can give it to you if you wish. That map is just a draft right now.

2. You can expand one of two ways:

(1) Every day that you want to expand, you post in this thread, "please expand me to X area".

OR

(2) You can do the same thing only that you can also say "I'd like X days' worth please" (up to seven days). In this case, you'll get your one-day expansion plus however many days' worth of land that was specified "reserved" for you. The catch is that reserved land isn't "officially" yours until the period of days specified is over (meaning others are still free to expand into that area), and you only gain that land one area per day. You will be guaranteed half of that area, but what area you do get is up to the discretion of the individual RPers.

3. I suppose- but I don't think rainforests have swamps and jungles do. Of course, I've never been to either, though.

2. I think the second thing is easiest. I don't want to go "And today I claim this land" every day for the next 2 months :p.

3. I live in a rainforest, and jungles and rainforests are the same thing. Swamps are just...swamps :D


Soooo...I guess I want to claim seven days worth of that little peninsula thing in the north-west corner. Starting with the coast, then moving inwards. If it takes less than 7 days to take the entire peninsula, maybe you could add some land to the coastline to the east.

(Please don't get annoyed with me ><. I'm used to just grabbing set pieces of land, I.E. in all those Earths and in the colonization RP's I've made. This system seems new and confusing...)

(Errr, RomeW, just outta curiousity...

What the hell is up with that picture of yours? Y'know, Twinky? It scares me.)

The Lightning Star:

I see you've discovered Twinky. I created him in high school from random doodles in my notebook (you can see how bored I got back then :)).

Your claims are granted- I'll upload them in a minute.

A daycare with weed- it'd ease the stresses of workers, because the drug would calm their nerves and make the kids less hyper. Sign me up! :D

OOC:

I just got back from the hospital earlier today, and the operation went well. I'm able to walk around and eat, as I never got any dizziness or any side effects except for a slight numbness in my tongue. I'm just laying in bed, trying to recover and drinking a lot of water. I'm doing well, regardless, as I'm able to check e-mails and stuff late at night. I think I will be getting better and stronger everyday. I'm glad the surgery is over, and most of my nervousness is gone. Its a huge relief that its over, without any hitches.

I think I'll be able to check up here over the next few days. I'd like my claim to be colored in for today (Saturday). I'd also like to stake two days worth of claims (for Sunday and Monday). I'd like my Sunday and Monday claims to flesh out the gaps and such in the shoreline to my south and the gap to the east of my land.

That's great news. I'm happy for you. So, can you hear now or will that take a while to work?

(Side note: maps and geography map are updated)

I would like push my territory to the mountain range.

Consider it done.

Hiyas.

I'd like to expand my southern and eastern shorelines (3 days worth) and then 4 days worth of "interior" expansion (expanding westwards from my shorelines).

I'm requesting this as I may be on and off line this week due to my recovery period and RL family stuff.

Woops, sorry guys, went out of town suddenly, didnt know about it. As I can see I missed a few pages that I'll need to read to make sure I didn't miss anything. Dang being only a youngin... or else I would've been able to stay home....

Has anyone been able to contact Vastiva lately? Is he going to be back as a new Vastiva nation, or is he out for RL reasons? I haven't heard from him in quite a while.

Sharina: Granted, but check the map- I was a little confused by your requests (since you don't have much of an eastern coast to fill), so I may have what you want on the map wrong.

As far as Vastiva is concerned: he is off the hook. His case is still being reviewed but he's still active with puppets.

Brutix: No worries. All that's gone on is the map updates (for which we still have to get you back on) and a few arrival threads. No nuclear tests or anything.
Yet. :D

Perfect, RomeW. Thats exactly the expansion I'd like to go for. :)

I'm back. But i'm not on my computer, so I wont make a map. But can I set up like 7 days of expansion down south along the Roman and Augustan range border?

Also, Generic Empire is at my house right now; could he expand south along my border? Or would you prefer he log in and ask?

Well, to start off, I actually have a dissected map of the old Manium map. It'll show location of where the colony (possibly permanent Brutix Nation) was below Vastiva's land *here* (http://www.frontiernet.net/~nocashrefund/Old%20Sanctumer.png). So hope to be back up ASAP ;) Haha doesn't matter, I know you always update the map whenever.


EDIT: Quick note... can I be a different color then that fluorescent green? Thanks :-)

Brutix: Well, this is what I'm going to do: I'm going to place you somewhere on the map so that you can at least get started back here. Then, I want you to find the treaty you signed with Vastiva over your old land (as I asked you to do before), because only then will I restore your old land.

Borman Empire:

Land- granted. However, do you want to negotiate over this ICly? I don't want to be hemmed in :( .

Generic Empire- Have him log in and post that himself. I believe you that he's over at your house, but I don't want to set a dangerous precedent where someone else does the same thing and tricks me out of another's land.

Sharina: *thumbs up* Great :)

Ok, I'll tell him.

And no, I dont. I'm trying to use the mountain range as a border between us, so it would be harder to war and everything. But if you want to then make a thread, I may not be able to participate in it alot though.

Well for now expand the colony I have now at somepoint down the coast southernly. And the treaty to get back colonial Sanctumer... its the same one Vastiva used to take the land. Ask him for it since I can't seem to find any of my old posts containing this treaty.

I think I found the Hamerite Sancutur RP with Vastiva, and their interactions in Manium.

http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=341045

Yeah thats the one I searched through for the treaty but the only talk of treaties is between Nova Hope and Vastiva, the Hammerite Delegation had no dealings with treaties in that thread.

First of all, I'd like to say I'm sorry I didn't update the map yesterday- my brother and I were joyriding across Ontario and we didn't get back until 2:30AM and I was pretty tired. The trip was fun- I got to see Algonquin Provincial Park and a grazing bull moose, so it was worth it :D.

(and boy am I happy to know the moose was just grazing- imagine if it had been on the road...)

Borman Empire: I can understand your time constraints- I have them too. What I wanted to do was to simply ask the following (in order of preference):

(1) To split the land.
(2) Have an agreement giving both of our colonies access to our lands
(3) A non-agression pact (I like to have friendly neighbours :D)

We won't need a thread- an answer here will suffice.

Brutix:

Success!
Here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8552841&postcount=1154) and here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7200060&postcount=947) They were in the original thread.

You can have your old land back now (special note: the territories have been approximated since we adopted Praetonia's map for Manium).

Rome, what is the current status of the Player Purges? I only ask because, being the unashamed opportunist and capitalist that I am, I have already drawn up my plans for expansion (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/hamptonshire/4e49cdb2.png) into what should be now former Falastur territory :).

Hmmnnn...you're right, I haven't gotten around to that :S. Anyway, my stance is go ahead and do it- I've been meaning to excise them all from the map I just haven't had the time.

*Service Announcement* In light of this, the colonies of the following nations shall be considered "available" for conquest, although the normal claiming rules will apply when assuming their territories:

Yarfor 2 (on Cordensa)
The Water Cooler (I'm going to be going for this- I just don't have time to do it now)
Kiwipeso
Vistadin
Bonstock
Porto Calus
Executors
Falastur

I'll get rid of them tommorow- right now, I'm going to bed.

What about Harlesburg's colony of Citirus-Vastiva? I haven't seen him / her post anything in Manium (or this thread) in quite a while.

EDIT: What about Camewot, Nycton, North Augustin, and Taldaan?

How silly of me, I forgot to check the original manium thread :rolleyes: Oh well, thanks anyways. Since I cant expand the former Brutix colony, I'd like to reserve about 3 days (parents are taking family camping wtih some friends ntil Sunday, but Im just saying 3 days incase they dont let me on :-/) So if you could map out 3 days of expanding south on the Western Brutixian colony, thanks. (Oh like the nice gold NON-fluorescent yellow :D)

EDIT: Ill post my landing and colony pink slip obtaining when I get back, since it would be a miracle for about 1 generation after that doesnt even know about Manium to find it :P They weren't even going to explore, they would have remained isolated (note: The whole nation relocated, you can see they were quite pack in the isles then cant you haha)

Sharina: I'll get to them in the next few weeks. I just wanted to cover those who haven't posted at all in this thread.

(After careful consideration, I've decided to allow Harlesburg's territory to be open for conquest)

Brutix: Noted.

*Service Announcement*

I may be away from my computer for a while- probably until the 24th, after which I won't be able to update the map until the 2nd of September.

No problem, RomeW.

I was wondering if we active Manium players should go ahead and reserve expansion spots for the time period between tomorrow and September 2nd when you will be back for updates and such? In this case, a 14 day reserve (14 days between tomorrow- Aug. 20th and September 2nd).

Or should we declare our expansions when you return on Sept. 2nd? Just wondering, as some of us are pretty interested in expanding in Manium, like Borman Empire, Hamptonshire, and myself.



EDIT: One more question.

If I do try to conquer Harlesburg's territory on Sheepfruit Island, will I gain the whole thing upon a successful conquest, or will I have to "partition" it into 1 day claims?

RomeW asked me to update the map while he's gone, but I too am on vacation. I have acess to internet and a computer, so I may be able to do so, but I'm not promising anything.

Um...no one has marked my plans to expand into Falastur's former territory. Not complaining, just making sure no one else takes it.

Need the land to make more...um...golf courses. ;)]

"Hi Morgan. A bill that would have granted independence to the Sarzonian colony of Branwyn has gone down to a filibuster led by Liberal Imperialist Delegate Connie Jacobi of Somerset. Here's Jacobi now explaining her opposition to the bill."

"Tracy, what you're seeing in Branwyn is a government that still hasn't demonstrated that they're ready for independence just yet. After the Quasi War against Sdaeriji ended in stalemate, the Sarzonian and St. John Hospitaller militaries were able to strangle the last of Branwynian resistance. After that, we just didn't see any signs that they had evolved enough to stand on their own."

"Political Scientists at Joe Gibbs University say there's no word on when or even how Branwyn could be considered ready for independence, but a Parliamentary source who spoke on deep background said it wouldn't happen for another 15 years at the earliest. Reporting live from Woodstock, I'm Tracy Johnson. Back to you in the studio."

"Thanks Tracy. Turning now to financial news, the stock market ended a volatile day of trading down about three shares to close at 34,294.4..."

I don't have a lot of time here so I'll make this short and sweet: the map can be done one of two ways:

(1) We find someone else to update the map while I'm gone with the person selected TGing me so I know who it is

OR

(2) You each update it yourself and make sure that the "new" version is available for the next person to update. The claim limit is pointed out on the map so this shouldn't be difficult.

Whatever you decide will be fine by me as long as the map gets updated.

I'd like to expand southward parallel to my existing border from the furthermost edge of my border to the border of the Bormanian colony.

I would be more than happy to take up the responibility of updating the maps. I really want to support Manium, and I'm usually here on NS 2 or 3 times everyday (unless RL issues pops up). I can fill in expansion claims, so I'll start updating the claim expansions from last Friday (2 days ago) as it appears that was when the map was last updated. I can keep on updating claims every night until you come back on Sept. 2nd, RomeW.

I'd like to expand southward parallel to my existing border from the furthermost edge of my border to the border of the Bormanian colony.

How many claim squares do you want? 1 to 7? (1 will be filled in, the rest will be "reserved" and be filled in one square a RL day)

Actually Rome, I'll do it. And here's today's map (http://usera.imagecave.com/obsterray/Manium.PNG) so far.

Hamptonshire, lemme see if I can find your post about Falasur's territory, and then I'll mark it.

EDIT: Fixed map

P.S. Going to beach now, be back in couple hrs.

Could I get some more planned out space going down the coast by Kiwipeso. Thanks!

Alright, sure.

And Hamptonshire, I cant finde your post about expanding into Falastur. Could you direct me to it?

Claims (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/hamptonshire/013646f0.png)

I announced my claims on the 19th but they have yet to be marked by other maps, so I marked them myself.

http://usera.imagecave.com/obsterray/Manium.PNG

I would like to expand 7 days worth of claims south along the coastline (going west if needed, I want my claims to follow the shoreline).

I want to claim the rest of the empty land dernit!

Wow, all of this expansion makes me want to expand too! Soooo. . . over on the continent of Cordensa, I would like to expand two spaces along the cost to the east and two along the cost to the back, and three spaces inland. Yep, over on Cordensa. Bye!

A few things:

(1) In case I haven't made it clear, for the time that I am away (until September 2), Borman Empire is your official map updater.

(2) I will be able to be online while I'm away, but I won't be able to update the maps. Therefore, I can answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you.

Okay, RomeW, I have a couple of questions for you.

1. Can we continue to post expansion claims in your "absence" until Sept. 8th? I have asked for 7 days worth of claims yesterday, namely to expand along the southern coastline, up to Executor's territory.

2. If I go conquer Harlesburg's territory (and Executor's or Porto Calus's territory) will I have to annex it 1 square per day, or do I get the whole thing in one go (Pending good RP of course)? In addition, if my territory is extended right up to their former territory, then I invade, then will it be more reasonable to get the whole "former" territory? I'd like to know the policy on this.

Thanks in advance, RomeW. :)

Seeing how my 7 days of claiming have finished...

I'd like to claim 7 days worth of land along the northern coast between me and GE.

(Actually, I'm away until September 2)

1. Yes- Borman Empire will do it in my absence.

2. You will have to annex it one square a day. Claiming rules still apply to "dead" colonies.

I don't want to be a bother, but by know I should have all of what was formerly Falastur's territory. I know the situation of map updates has been a little hectic as of late but there are some RPs developing and going on that feature my ownership of that land as substantial minor plot points.

On a more serious note (and how's this for a role reversal)- Borman Empire, can you keep me expanding north past the mountains into former Water Coolian territory? Thanks.

Can you reserve 7 days worth, expanding me all the way to kiwipeso and starting to go along vistadin and camewot.

Yes- Kiwipeso and Vistadin are both considered inactive, so you may claim those territories (using the claiming rules, of course) if you wish.

EDIT- Borman Empire: can the first area I expand into be across the mountain? Thanks.

Also, if I didn't make it clear, you're doing a great job. Thanks for your help. :)

And can you go to colonial war with an active nation and take their colony faster than one thing a day?

I don't know about this. Thoughts, everyone? I also ask since I want to create a rule regarding conquests.

Well, an idea for colonial war, would be to have discussion between the warring colonies and an agreement reached if its successful and how much land he/she gets for that battle or what not. Also then I guess ill start expanding into Kiwipesos territory for now untill fully annexed :D

...What about your previously set up claims?

And I was thinking you'd RP it like normal, and along the way update the map to what you're taking. And the other person agrees, and then if one side gets victory over the other colony, maybe the entire colony is ceded. (SP?)

I personally think that the map should only be updated once, and that is after the war. During the war the frontlines may change every hour- or, heck, every minute- so that would make a lot of work for the map updates.

(There is nothing stopping the warring nations from using their own maps- I'm just not sure if the official map needs to be updated more than once.

As far as conquests go, I think that should be up to the individual colonies- they tell me (or whomever is updating the map at the time, which is in this case Borman Empire) what's been transferred and I update the map. I'll admit, I'm a little hesitant in allowing that active colonies can be completely conquered (because resistence implies a "forced" RP, which is something I want to avoid), but, again, as long as the two colonies agree to that then I'd say it'd be acceptable.

More thoughts?

That sounds good. And Sharina, maybe its because I attacked and conquered your colony, and its trying to protect you by not letting you see.

Or it could jsut be some error that Ill try to fix later. (Beach and airsoft now)

EDIT1- You guys may want to have a look at this:

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9535479#post9535479

(It's an urgent message to the colonies of Western Manium- though I want to say that I don't want anyone to do anything to their colonies that they might not want to do)

That sounds good.

I'll enact that then.

Also, The Lightning Star's name has been wiped out from the map- he has the colony in the top left-hand corner.

EDIT2- This is the new rule on conquests and land purchases. Please weigh in on this:

18) Conquests & Land Purchases. These shall be handled differently than regular claiming: because territorial changes in this regard come in the form of treaties and involves previously-claimed land, it is up to the parties involved to work out the land swap (which can be any size as long as the two parties agree to it and it only involves previously-claimed land) and then let me know about the transfer so I can put it on the map. The map will only be updated after the final land-transfer is settled. This means that it will only be updated (in cases of war) once a war is finished, because I don't have the time to update the map every hour as would be required during wartime.

Also, no active colony can be completely conquered in a war unless the user agrees to this provision. This is because allowing the colony to continue as a province of another involves a "required" RP and I want to avoid that. Plus, I want to avoid some of the more negative aspects of RPing- namely, when it becomes a (no pun intended) bloodsport competition instead of what it's supposed to be- the story of our nations. So, in short, if you want to go to war with someone, talk to them about it and agree upon everything, including how much land each party is willing to lose.

I know, I meant for it too be left out! MUAHAHAHA! Joking. I took it out because I had to keep taking it out while he expanded, but I think I can put it back in now.

Also, FYI Manium is the face of war now and may be the face of more war.

Pantera is launching an invasion of Sarzonia's colony (link if you want)

And there are colonies from both of the opposing sides of WWVII (AKA: Operation Hellfire) and so war may come to parts of Manium.

Ah I see now. *nods and grins* I just noticed TLS' name was missing.

Yeah, I'll need a link to the Pantera-Sarzonia conflict since it involves Branwyn (the Sarzonian colony).

Hmmnnn, I may need to figure out where I stand in all this...

EDIT-

21 hours ago: The Republic of Lanquassia ceased to exist.

:eek:

This *completely* caught me off guard, considering how active he was in the past. Anyway, what this means (as much as I'd hate to do it, but the rules are rules) is that the Colony of Alioth- Lanquassia's- is up for grabs.

I lost track of how many days worth of reserved claims I have left. I do remember I asked for 7 days worth of claims last week, but I forgot when I did so.

I like the feeling of sucking up a former nation... *slurrrppp* haha

I'd like the get the rest of the coast that I don't have(like where my territory is, not all of it is touching the coastline). I'd also like to expand south a wee bit. So that I have more of an oval shaped country.

I believe my 7 day reserved claims should be all colored in and annexed by now, as I made the 7 day reservation last Tuesday according to RomeW.

Thus, I would like to extend another 7 days worth of claims. I'd like to expand westwards along the northern coast of Sheepfruit Island- I want my 7 claim "boxes" to hug the coast in 1 "box" increments if possible. Thanks!

I'd like to expand my claims for 7 days along the northern coast of Sheepfruit Island, 1 square "thick" at a time. Hopefully that will be enough to expand into the western coastline of the island. If needed, I can try to make a map of my claims. :)

Never mind. I just made a map of my intended next phase of expansion.

You could make it orange with yellow stripes or vice versa and call it a disputed territory, thus giving me and TLS an excuse to start shooting at each other.

Quick Update:

No, -Vastiva- is not inactive (Just in case you were wondering again, Prae). I am, however, irl dealing with Katrina's aftermath (I work in medicine, and am working with the Red Cross peripherally at the moment). So my involvement will be spotty for the moment.

Thank you again.

Generic Empire: I can do that, but all I want to know is who made that initial claim.

Vastivan Alaska: Noted.

I would like to advance south to the river thing, please.

Generic Empire: I can do that, but all I want to know is who made that initial claim.

Vastivan Alaska: Noted.

Errr.... No one did. That's the thing. We were both advancing like crazy.

((OOC: Ye, we both said to keep exanding along the coast as long as possible and I suppose Borman never filled in that last square once our borders touched, so I suppose it really is disputed territory.))

Expand mine up north around Gyrobots territory so if they want to expand past me, theyll have to either launch an attack or negotiate a treaty... :D Evil me haha. and if there is still enough expansion reserve, keep sucking up Kiwipeso, but priority lies with boxing in Gyrobot. Thanks rome.

That square was supposed to go to TLS, but I like GE's idea better.

Brutix: The rules don't allow for an active colony (who has less than seven days' worth of land) to be surrounded, but in Gyrobot's case, they are inactive. So you can take over the colony if you wish.

Borman Empire: Thanks for the clarification, and, in light of the wishes Generic Empire and The Lightning Star, it shall be divided between the two of you.

Interesting point, RomeW.

I have noticed that Manium has been quite inactive lately- with the exception of your Dinosaur thread and the Sarzonia - Panthera War. We need to introduce some kind of simulant or "electric shock" to revive Manium, and provide incentive for increased RP activity.

What fun is it if Manium remains static, or so to speak?

Also, I forgot to add that I just scanned the rules and stuff in your first post in this thread, RomeW, and I don't think I've seen the following (or something like it)...

"New Expansions must be RP'ed out".

Perhaps this is why people think its not necessary to RP out new expansions. However, if you believe people should RP out new expansions, what kind of RP do you want people to do?

(Not to brush you off or anything, Sharina- I just want more opinions)

I dont RP as much at the moment since I am quite busy getting all ready for my second year of high school so, its quite hectic. But after I settle in to school again I should be able to RP more. And I do have a friend who might be joining up. Oh and about the Gyrobot Colony, that would be fine to annex since they are inactive so. Thanks RomeW. I agree with Sharina.

EDIT: If anyone ever wonders (for future refernece) where Brutix achieves its budget, youll notice that it gets it monetary reserver from an off-shore banking account of which Hammerite Sanctur stored all it crap in. Currently a rebellious group found an isolated island full of around a few billion people to conquer and rename Hammerite Sanctur. This is a wealthy nation with the old Hammerite Ways, it supports the Brutixian way only as a state of Hammerite Sanctur ONLY. Brutix soon hopes to change that around and control that of Hammerite Sanctur to be free once again. If possible anyone willing to help? (I know its a puppet, but could ensue for some interesting RP?)

Well, all I really want is a five-second post about how things are going, nothing more, though if it's really a problem for you then I can let it go. Like I said, I don't want to hamstring anyone.

Hi, I would like a colony on this continent next to the new colony of Brutix up north near where he is expanding into next to neo-praetonia

and an arrival thread will insue after a bit

Hey Rome, could you rename my colonies? If so, I'd like my western colony to be named Brutix National (how original) and could you put a capital named Neocon on the waterside for a soon to be harbor. Then my eastern colony if you could name to Old Sanctumer (for old times sake) with the capital of Heme. Thanks RomeW!

I would like to request my next 7 day phase of expansion. I would like for Sharina to continue expanding south along the western coast, then into the former colony of Porto Calus and Citrus-Vastiva (along the coast).

I will post a RP post or two tonight or during the next couple of days. :)

I guess me and TLS are going to have a colonial war soon over the disputed territory, but I just started school again and won't have alot of time for really active RPing, still it was my intention to get a good description RP up with some info on native peoples when I freed some time up. Hope that would be alright.

*Service Announcement*

(1) I won't be able to update the map tonight. I will tommorow.

(2) To Brutix- I will grant your name changes. Also, I'll be editing your "reserved" claims because I realize I forgot to put in Nebarri Prime, who wanted space in your area but didn't get it. You'll still get everything you asked for, however.

STOP TRYING TO HANDCUFF ME! JESUS!

Joking.

I'm starting Sophmore year, and my Physics teacher is some nut who assigned an entire unexplained chapter of work to us...on the first day.

SO I may have less time for RPing.

And I just assumed we didnt need to post about expanding cause you know, mercantilism "Bigger colony= more chicks to make love to...er...=more money"

Ill try to make one when I get some free time

Like I said, if there are extenuating circumstances, such as school or work, I won't bug you, because I don't want to hinder anyone either. If you can RP, great, if you can't, tell me why (like you did) and I'll let it go.

On less official matters...where is your school? I'm sorry to hear it's difficult, but I hate to say it but it may never get easier for you. As for me, I just started my fifth and final year at York University yesterday, and boy was it hectic. They placed my first class in a completely new building! Oh well...so far I like my courses.

And Columbia (Maplewood, NJ), I hope I and others go to my physics teacher and just say "WTF is wrong with you!?" And talk to him and get lighter HW and stuff.

Alright, G2G work.

Thanks for the map.

Yeah, I hate it when I get teachers like that too. It's high school right? How many pages do you have to write/how many questions need to be answered?

Oh, and I'm wondering if you've seen this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_High_School_(Maplewood,_New_Jersey)

I dont see any entrys. But no I didnt know there was a school thing.

Yup, High school. I have to read 25 pages, do 3 section reviews and one practice. I dont understand at least 5 of the pages I read, and he hasn't taugh us anything yet.

Luckily I just finished, with some answers just having randomn shit wrote down to looks like I got it, I honestly tried for it all; but it was too hard.

The link didn't work? It should. Anyway, the Wikipedia entry said something about the school trying to crack down on "religious symbols" in a fear that it would offend people and it apparently drew national attention.

Though that is a little rough. Do have to do it in one night, because if you do I too would be screaming "bloody murder". Besides, it's his job to teach you about the material and I would be making a stink if he's not helping you in this regard.

I posted a new RP segment in my colony thread. :)

Yeah, I remember that. We've been in the news (My School+town) like 4 times, once because of my mom fighting Political Correctness BS.

It would be in one night, but we dropped him, so we got two.

I think im gonna start complaining.

*Service Announcement*

The map is updated, and I won't be able to update it for the next day or so. I'm sorry that the updates have been slow this week...school has made things quite chaotic.

Must be quite the combatitive town and school there...does it get annoying? I would find it so after a while (in fact, York is full of them and it bugs me. Not that I hate fighters- I just don't like being in the middle of a verbal warzone). Good thing that you're fighting for your assignment though- not even I'm sure I'd want to do it in two days! :D

The only thing that gets annoying, the the BS PC rules made which people have to fight.

I take it SafeHaven2 isn't considered inactive yet?

Safehaven2 hasn't yet passed 28 days of inactivity. I shall send them a TG though.

Republic Hackers: I can give you that territory but I want to know if you want somewhere different instead, because it's getting crowded up there. Vistadin's and Bonstock's colonies are available for conquest.

The only thing that gets annoying, the the BS PC rules made which people have to fight.

I agree- they're stupid; and I can relate to that. In my first year of University I had a don who didn't allow anyone to hang anything "religious" on our doors lest they offend anyone (including Christmas decorations) and went so far as to give a different, "neutral-sounding" name to the Secret Santa program we did that year. I mean, I can understand not allowing a naked girl being affixed to your door but Christmas decorations? Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to the freedom of expression these days...

I'd hang it anyway, and tell someone he touched me.

Lol, im evil.

Hey!! I want SafeHaven2 (if they become inactive) haha. And you didnt rename my colonies yet :P haha, no rush. Oh about Republic Hackers (hes my friend in Nebraska) Im helping him begin to RP, along with his brother who'll eventually ask for some land too. I could suggest you put Rebublic somewhere by Vistadin, his nation is a underling of mine. I protect him along with my hammerite funds :D Ill have him put his final say on here though. Im only an advisor.

EDIT: Anyone interested in joining the Bruitx National Conference (Iteron Commonwealth) go to the link in my signature or here Brutix National Confernce (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9614726#post9614726). Hope to see someone else from this continent join up :-)

Nah, I need part of him.

We could make a deal between taking certain parts of it, since it is my passage into the north. Wanna do that? If you really want it though I can let you have it, I'm generour :D

YES!!! ALL FOR ME!!!

J/k, splitting it would be ok, but we should wait till he's inactive.

Yeah good idea to wait for it to be inactive haha. How do you count inactivity? By posts or on actualy nation states accounts? If it was posts safhaven2 is done today, and so is the colony of Tannemmille... (over a month of not posting) soo could you set it up for me to conquer the tannemille and lanquassia colonies? Oh and Borman I'll TG you so we can discuss splitting up the land.

vistadin would be a good place to colonize if you'll let me

and i'd like to thank you for thinking it over and letting me know if it's ok for me to colonize there or not

I haven't forgotten about this, its just there isn't much going on around Manium other than simply expanding my colony which I don't want to do as its big enough. I had though of starting something with Prae but hes a bit busy so that idea has to wait. Other than him I have no neighbors.

Hot damn, your still active :(. Haha, well wouldn't matter if RomeW lets me conquer the northern colonies, since then I would have northern access. Anyways, glad to have an active member near me. Maybe you could join my commonwealth or we could do an RP together?

Can I advance south to the river, please?

Heh, I was planning on having a colonial war with him on account of the AMF thing. And we'll soon be neighbors. That's why I wanted to expand into your territory, so I could get access to Praetonia.

What the hell? :blink: How did that massive bit of Hamptonshire get there so quickly? And I wanted that small bit of river coast line as well! Ah well.

Rome - can i keep expanding into what's left of the extreme East of my colony, and then can I have it go West directly underneath the Safe Haven claim?

Can I get a spot on that map? I'm a city state and I won't really take up space, I'm also a coastal city so something near the coast too. Do you guys have a region too?

My god damn head. I walked into the garage door.

Agh http://usera.imagecave.com/obsterray/Manium.PNG I updated

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/Praemap.png <- you can have the light pink dot near the mountains if you want, and for a flat rate 1.5% income tax to Praetonia you can have military protection as well! I also makred on my next week's worth of expansion (other pink bits).

EDIT: At VE's request his bit will be jsut down from where it is now, so that it's coastal but still overlaps the mountains. Sorry but I cant be bothered to redo the map.

Woo

Rome (or whoever is doing the map updates now), my claims for last week have yet to be marked.

Hamptonshire, you're never on MSN anymore! I see you still have a social life... ;)

Sorry, I posted the map of what I wanted to have, not how it actually was. Lemme change it.

I don't know what happened to Rome, but I'll update the map.

This map (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/hamptonshire/Maniumb.png) properly reflects what my territory should look like by now.

Can I get a leg extending to BOnstock for eventual annex? Thanks mucho.

*Shrug* Hamptonshire. I actually posting moving into "your" territory before you returned to this thread, but fate has decided that we shall join in this way yet again and I really dont have the energy for it.

Can I get a leg extending to BOnstock for eventual annex? Thanks mucho.
I'll be wanting some (most really) of that too, y'know. How about we make a treaty concerning who gets what in case of Bonstock's nation dying?

Sure, good idea, IM me using various platforms, MSN (death1757@hotmail.com), AIM(grimreaperosouls) and Y! (MadBasser8734)

I apologize this didn't come earlier:

Since school has started my schedule has gone all crazy, so there will be days where I can't RP and those where I can. I pretty much just go home to sleep now (which stinks :( ) so that's why I haven't been able to update the map as often as I used to. I will say that I will promise to update it at least once a week, but after that I'm not sure.

Today, I have updated the map (thank you Borman Empire for your help). I hope to get to it once more this week. Please tell me if I have anything wrong and I'll change it.

Hamptonshire: You didn't get everything because Praetonia also wanted that area. What I have decided to do is split it half between the two of you. If you two want to work something else out, let me know and I'll change it.

Borman Empire: Yes you are evil. :) (Though mind you, that sounds like a pretty good idea...)

YOU MUST SAY SORRY WITH A SACRIFICE OF 1000 VIRGIN SOULS!

Er...that was the uh...tv.

It's ok.
And yeah, why don't you just try my idea? What's the worst that could happen?

P.S. I just checked the map to see how my world domination, I mean expansion was going. And just FYI, you didn't change the maps. It's happened to me before, I post the new link and it's the same old one, just thought you should know.

YOU MUST SAY SORRY WITH A SACRIFICE OF 1000 VIRGIN SOULS!

Asking for 1,000 virgin souls is like asking a Jehovah's Witness to stop knocking on your door, it'll never happen. Ever. At all. It is futile. Oh and, CITY STATE SPOT NOW!

(cough)

Im a porcupine...

Why ask them to stop? Just do like I do, shoot 'em with a shotgun and bury their bodies.

What? That's against the law? Oh...

Why does no one recognized that I want to go south?

Done.

Why does no one recognized that I want to go south?

Because...you didn't submit your request in writing? Oh wait, that's right.

You didnt submit your request in the Proper form. Joking, I may be able to update map later tonight and add your claim, otherwise Rome may be able too.

can I still get that leg extending to bonstock just i insure my nations interior instead of someone colonizing right next to me?? pretty please with sugar on top? :P haha

WHAT THE HELL!? I'M ALLERGIC TO SUGAR!!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, KILL ME!?

No but seriously, that would suck being allergic to sugar. And if I update map tonight Ill include it.

ironic no? wait... irony doesnt work here... AHHHH!!!!

Sugar or map, it's different for different people (http://usera.imagecave.com/obsterray/Manium.PNG)

instead of sticking thos three squares into bonstock could you put them coming down from the northeastern part of my colony to bonstock in the direction of southeast towards bonstock? if so thanks!

NO! Well, ok...Here (http://usera.imagecave.com/obsterray/Manium2.PNG) you go.

I decided to give me an extra couple squares for my work. :)

Now after you see that and go "WTF!?" Here's the real map (http://usera.imagecave.com/obsterray/Manium.PNG), with no extra squares...but those squares weren't a bad idea.

The new map doesn't have me expanding south O_o

And why is the water funny looking?

Yes it does, those 5 squares underneath you.

And the water looks fine.

I loved that "Pysch'ed!" joke. :D

Ah! It appears the squares were a technical problem.

But the water still looks funny. I guess I never noticed it before, but why is it the same(or almost exactly the same) color as RomeW's territories?

This is the 100% correct map of Manium.

Don't forget Edaphi is supposed to be on the coast.

Don't forget Edaphi is supposed to be on the coast.

Are you going to RP both as different parts of the same nation?

Edaphi is going to be a city state with no relation to TIOR or New Roska.

Reminds me, I gotta do that RP one day.

My colonies still aren't labeled there new names either... O.o kill.... things... :D

Edaphi is going to be a city state with no relation to TIOR or New Roska.

Well, I hate to be a pain, but I can't allow that. I made a rule a while back (when I removed my puppets) that there can only be one nation per user here. Check the first post and this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9192048&postcount=104).

Bah... I'll look for another place then. Thanks anyway!

I added Rome's claims to the map I have, but I'm too tired to host it.

And Rome, I dunno if it's just me. But it looks the same map still. Maybe you aren't adding the new link, but just keeping the old one.

I'm not too sure but...

I think my 7 day claims period ends every Thursday, and a new one starts every Thursday night until the next Thursday. I may be wrong though.

Nah, a while ago. But we finally just saw a doctor and got an X-ray. It's fractured at the joint. So I have this weird temp cast. And I'm getting a real cast for a couple weeks in a couple days.

Ouch. Did your doctors tell you how long before it'll be healed up completely? (or at the very least when the casts come off)

Borman Empire: I think what happened is that I made the map and simply forgot to upload it. I must have done it all in a rush. In any case, thanks for the updates.

On more official matters, I'd like to set another colonial boundary- I get everything to the west of The Water Cooler Colonial Wall (marked on the map) and you get everything to the east, because of my dinosaur thread (though I should mention that in the thread I've also discovered dinosaurs to the east of the wall).

As for your hand: I'm sorry to hear that. How much longer do you have for the cast?

It is that time of the week again. :D

You forgot to fill in that last square (should be for my 7th and final square claim to be annexed today).

I'd like to continue expanding eastwards along the coast, and link up with my Eastern coastline with the usual 7 days worth of land. Let me know if that'll work. :)

I can't allow you to claim the entire coast until you claim the whole island, because there's still some room there for other potential colonists. Raginsheep tried the same thing and I stopped him too. I know that in RL the coast would be claimed first, but I'm trying to keep this as inclusive as I can.

Do you want my help dealing with the dinosaurs? Oh and I never got any say on anything about Alioth or Tannemille? Can I have those or no?

Alioth- and now Tannemille- are free.

As far as the dinosaurs go, I think my colony has it covered, but I've discovered some outside of The Water Cooler Colonial Wall. So there may be some dinosaurs in Brutix (if you want)...

Can I have both of thos former colonies then? if so Thanks :D

I went to hospital and some rnadom dude told me I'd get a cast for a couple weeks. I havn't been to orthopedic dude yet.

Brutix: You'll have to RP/expand for them. They're quite big, and the rule with old colonies is that they simply go back to being any regular unclaimed land.

Borman Empire: When will you visit the orthopedic doctor?

A question about bullying, what can I do? Can I tell people not to settle here because I've claimed it, ICly of course.

Borman Empire: When will you visit the orthopedic doctor?

A day or two.

A question about bullying, what can I do? Can I tell people not to settle here because I've claimed it, ICly of course.

You can do so ICly- that I don't have a problem with. I will only have a problem if it gets to the point where people feel like they can't claim new land on Manium. What this means (basically) is that if you're going for a particular territory you need to be actively moving to claim it, not just leaving it be and threatening anyone that moves within a mile of it. This also means that you can't be egregious with what you're "claiming", not just because it'll be next to impossible logistically to militarily claim something like the whole continent in a short period of time but also to make sure that others can expand into the masses of territory that is still available. I realize that is more of a judgement call, but I really need to make sure that what people are claiming is within the bounds of fairness.

As far as your hand goes: good luck. I hope all goes well.

2.) Me too

1.) Oh ok. I CLAIM ALL LAND LEFT ON MANIUM! Any expansions into it will be met with 0MG Hy00ge 1337 n00kz!!!!111one

Thanks for clearing that up. Also, is it possible someone can claim a bunch of land, but know that realisticly they couldn't militarily support those claims. And so when other people started expanding or settling in that land, they could like ignore it to save themselves from war?
