Anyone interested in a colony "region"? [NOT A REGION AD]

Hogsweatia
07-11-2005, 21:15
I was thinking about it, and I really need somewhere NOT in haven to place my colonies, other than just an island. Remembering that Manium doesn't really exist anymore (well, there's noone IN there) So, with that in mind, I thought;
If people don't need to remember about it, it will continue going and there will always be a map for people to find their colonies on. So, rather than making a gamewise region, if I just make a map for it and allow people to ask for numbers on the map (was thinking max 5) that would be more effective and I would continue updating it here or somewhere else.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I can also, on request, add a few cities/mountains/rivers.

Spots taken

I already have a few Colonial Nations that i placed near my main island. But this does seem like an interesting idea. It would be a new thing that i don't think anyone has done before...
Sarzonia
07-11-2005, 21:26
I think people are still in Manium and RP still goes on in there. Having said that, if this is going to lead to new colonies and a colonisation RP, I'd be interested in doing that.

I might even have the ISS Hogsweat lead the way! ;)

I'm drawing the map atm ;) YOu may see some of it inspired off RL, but nevermatter.
Saint Fedski
07-11-2005, 21:43
I'd be interested. But because I'm new to the colonization RPing, how would colonizing this place change my population, my economy and my other stats?
Hogsweatia
07-11-2005, 21:46
It wouldn't. You'd divert some of your main population to the colony. Say you have 540 million citizens, and your colony has 40 mil, there are 500 million in Saint Fedski Homeland and 40 in the colony.

I'd be interested too. What the hell, we can always use some more outposts in foreign lands to spread democracy. ;)

Good idea. After all, I do need a penal colony.

5 numbers only ;) One supposes I can expand that later. Aaanyway. It's not finished, I will add two more landmasses.
The Silver Sky
07-11-2005, 23:05
For some reason it looks like a very butchered map of asia, europe and africa.

If we can claim now, I'd like to claim 8, 9, and 2.

I'll come up with names later. :)

Add number 27 (Comona Repbulican Colonies)

And for colonies 8, 9 and 2 I'd like to name them Silver Sky Republican Colonies
Isselmere
07-11-2005, 23:28
I wouldn't mind 11 (Wentworth), 12 (Cerovia), 26 (Beresmundy), 28 (Marespontia)
Sarzonia
07-11-2005, 23:29
Provisional name for the colony: Acasta

And all parts are under the same name.
Otagia
07-11-2005, 23:34
My place will be named Phaethos (23). Oh, and add 17, 18, and 19 to my tab. They're Phaethos, too.
Czardas
07-11-2005, 23:40
I'll take #24 (Tverias) and #25 (named Piryné) for starters. And while my allies are taking territory in the region I'll have #10 and #13 (Makidan) and #30 (Florians) as well. ;)
Saladish
07-11-2005, 23:46
Could I get 29, 30, 24, 25 please?

The names shall be Zyxyx for 29 and 30 and Drumbril Front for 24 and 25
The Silver Sky
07-11-2005, 23:47
Sarz already has 5, and I'll get rid of colony number 2, which leaves only 27(Comona Repbulican Colonies), 9, and 8 (Silver Sky Republican Colonies).
Czardas
07-11-2005, 23:48
I have #24, #25, and #30. You can claim the other one though. ;)
Czardas
07-11-2005, 23:49
Actually, I'll get rid of #13.
Ato-Sara
07-11-2005, 23:57
On second thought the annexation of Riah won't take long and Ato-Sara is crowded as it is. But I think Ill wait till territory on eastern side becomes available.

13, 15, 16, 20, 21, and 22 are still open.

Not immediately, but you can take those and then try to take over your neighbors.... :D
Saint Fedski
08-11-2005, 03:31
I guess I'll take 13 (Girardi's Land), 15(Upper Uktuk), 16(Lower Uktuk)

No for now, 1) cause hoggie didn't say anyone could claim them, 2) They aren't numbered, 3) They'd probably fall under the control of 24, 25, or possibly 27.

Not only that but I'd just kick your ass back to the big bang, and you what's funny Czardas, my nation is nearly half the size and has half the GDP of that nation and I still have 3x bigger defence budget.
Izistan
08-11-2005, 04:49
Well, if no one minds an Izistani presence, I'd like to establish myself in #21 and #22 (assuming I haven't missed a claim somewhere). I can't think of a name for the territory at the moment though.

That is weird. It must be OMG MOD BIAS!!!!111one ;)

I could use this one (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Banduria) as soon as Jolt decides to validate it... It's got 2/3 of your defense budget, 1 1/3 times your population, plus the armies of a number of private corporations that the government pays off with the commerce budget to fight for them.... :p

Ok, that's probably enough puppet-wanking. Let's stop hijacking this thread, shall we? ;)
The Silver Sky
08-11-2005, 04:57
Izistan, I don't think anyone will mind, seeing as most of the areas are under control of WoodStock Pact members, that brings the number of Woodstock Pact controlled colonies to 17/30, and to 21/30 if you count Czardas cause he's my buddy. :p

Thats good to hear. Anyway, I thought of names for my lands; #21 is known as Forel, and #22 is called Peral (both are names of early submarines operated by Russia and Spain respectively).
