Intro: Welcome to Terra Recedentia, its not just random place to stake claims, its a place to write stories about how you make your claim and etc.

Mods for this rp are Azazia and Ottoman Khaif

Rules
1. You must be active in the RP in order to expand your claim and to interact with others. If you must take leave, please inform either Azazia or myself ahead of time. If you are inactive for a period of more than three weeks you will be removed from the RP and your colony will be treated as a failed state, or colony, and as such up for grabs. For those who select such a failed colony, they will be expected to take into consideration the ramifications of such a failed state.

2. Now on to the fun stuff, claiming lands for your empires or imperialist republics. Your starting claim will be one small box and you will be limited to one small box per week to represent growth of your colonies. Also Azazia will be updating the map at least once a week, with the latest growth for the colonies.Just a minor footnote, Azazian and my claims will not expand for a given period of time, in Azazia's case his claims will not expand all given the fact we decided to create large initial claims for, especially in Azazia's case, as creators of the map the hidden resources are not so hidden.

Here is a example of the plots

3. Now on to wars, the players are not required to fights war,if they don’t want to. Yet wars are allows on this rp, if both players agree to have one for any given reason.

And last but not least the maps for Terra Recedentia

OOC: Azazia made all maps for this rp.

so yes, please just edit the map and post your claims here, and when I have the time I shall compile them into one giant map that will be updated here.


Need To Know Information

I am rather pleased, I must say, with the amount of participation and most importantly the quality - several different ideas each presenting their own advantages and disadvantages. Very nice. However, while the group RPing remains small and - geographically at least - dispersed I want to take the time to clarify a few points that are not so clear in the above post.

1.) Not every inch of the continent is occupied by some relatively advanced state; hence why I am beginning to include on the political map attached those important "non player countries", otherwise known as NPCs. For now, they will be controlled by myself - they are not pushovers as many of them have well-established histories and political systems and such. Much like 19th century Africa had its own states and institutions well advanced until European colonisation. For now, if you should have questions on such states please feel free to ask here in this thread and I will reply as promptly as possible. Otherwise, these states have their own trading networks established and so on and such forth... try to keep that in mind as these RPs develop.

2.) Resources. There are finite natural resources on the continent. The list follows:

Iron
Coal
Manganese
Nickel
Cobalt
Uranium
Oil Shale (most difficult to refine, not always profitable)
Oil Heavy (difficult to refine)
Oil Light (easy to refine)
Aluminium
Tin
Lead
Silicon
Wolfram
Zinc
Titanium
Gold
Silver
Platinum
Diamond
Copper
Fish
Natural Gas

These are hidden on the map. However, if one pays attention to the posts I shall make every now and then, especially when they concern the indigenous peoples and NPCs there will likely be clues as to which nations control which resources - and then it may be in your nation's best interest to find some way to obtain access to such resources. There are, of course, resources not controlled by any party... and if said resources are underneath your territory, if you properly RP the exploration of the territory for such resources then you will likely find the resource and can begin to exploit it.

3.) As to the geography and the map claims and such. For those of you posting about small rivers branching out from main rivers just as they reach the coast, those are not fjords or deep inlets but the branching into a major delta filled with silt and sand. Thus far, people have been doing very well in applying the appropriate cliamte and biome data to their RPs - very, very well done. When it comes to claims, I do appreciate those of you who make your edits and save the files as .gif filetypes. I am using Photoshop for the map, and every colony and data type receives its own layer... my file is rather large and eats a lot of memory. .gif files are easy for me to cut and paste for new layers or to edit old ones. You don't have to, but if you could therefore do it in .gif I would be most appreciative. That and you are more likely to have your claims reproduced exactly... otherwise it's my best approximation for either better or worse. Those of you who claim blocks where you want your colony, that's fine but just keep in mind I won't be using blocks, I will be fitting the land nearby to your block... keeps it more realistic, I hope.

Thus far, I think that's about it... Oh, and if I don't respond quickly it's not because I don't care or have forgotten but more likely the fact that I work and when I come home, while I might read and catch up on what's going on, I don't have the energy to put the right amount of work into a post. And if I don't have that amount of energy, I certainly don't have the necessary energy to do housekeeping things... so please, just keep that in mind as well. I will answer all questions, concerns, and other messages as quick as I can.

Here is my claim: Claim (19-7-2006) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/hamptonshire/Lineart/claimterra.gif)

I'm writing the IC thread to start this off right now. Kudos to OK and Oceania for getting this off the ground.

Terra Recedentia claim and colony RP- What Once Was Lost Now is Found (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=492721)

Enjoy.

Where is this great landed mass relative to the rest of the world, i.e., what ocean and what hemisphere?

Roughly speaking, the continent is the size of Africa, in fact this entire setup was to recreate the wave of imperialism that carved up Africa for better and worse in the latter parts of the 19th century. For geographic purposes, when presented with the idea of a continent by OK, I also wanted to know where in RL geography the continent would fit. But after being given the outline of the continent, to which I added all the features and data, I realised that Terra Recedentia would not easily fit into RL geography. There is another map that places the continent within a set grouping of latitude coordinates (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/fbcatholicsfan/Latitude-Map.gif), but I feel that adding longitudal coordinates would base it to much in reality - as a continent this size would, I am quite convinced, have to have a significant impact on the current climatic patterns, biomes, and political situations in the remainder of the world.

In short, I thus thought it appropriate when naming the continent to call it Terra Recedentia, which, if I am not mistaken, translates roughly to 'Distant Land'... the idea being that the continent was inhabited by humans early on, though for whatever reason they failed to advanced to a state where they could go on and conquer the world. Instead, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and other nations visited the continent as explorers, sometimes establishing settlements and imparting aspects of their culture upon the natives. In effect, this creates a multinational continent with various cultures. The catch, however, is in the title... distance. The continent is sufficiently distant from the explorer nations that long-term permanent settlements were economically unwise. Only with the advances of super-large container vessels and aircraft has it become profitable to begin to exploit the resources of the continent.

Resources, by the way, there are quite a lot of. However, nobody save OK and I know where they are... any settlers must discover them for themselves.

Hopefully that answers some questions.

[OOC: Sweet. I may have some IC interest in this....anyway, Azazia, TG response please.]

Right, I'm in...I'll write up something, figure about tomorrow.

I'm in. I made a first post. A pirate is going to be the first to land, with the Commonwealth Armed Forces hot on his tail. Anyone have any shipping in the area that Captain Alex "Butcher" Henderson could attack? Or any villages he could plunder?

The thread is here: The Hunt for Dauntless (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=492895)

I will make the next post when I get up this evening.

The port city of Baroso, located in the southern edge of the UK's northern colony along the river delta, is the homeport of a large fishing fleet as the waters off the coast there are nutrient rich and thus home to large fisheries. Along the coast both north and south of the UK territory are native villages that make use of the fisheries to trade for a material they call Alel, a malleable and shiny, yellowish metal that the natives use for domestic purposes, both consumption and trade as a local currency. Thus there are both native ships and a few UK registered ships that could be targeted as well as the UK city of Baroso and native villages to the south of the border. Hope that helps.

This looks very interesting. I think I will get in on the action.

If one looks on the map, one will see two large islands to the East of the mainland. Look at the south one. On the North end of it, where the river branches out into three or four smaller ones, that will be the Eastern part of the eventual claim.

No! I was going to claim that exact spot! :(

There were three spots I was looking at, that just happened to be the best as it wasn't a desert nor was it bordering the UK. I figured it was a nice piece of real estate, which is why I decided to claim it before someone else jumped on it.

I wish my supplier the best of luck in their hunting for the next best remaining spot.

Or maybe there will be war :D j/k... or am I? :p

I might as well claim it now so nobody takes it...

My claim will be on the northern of the two eastern islands, just below the lower river (the one on the left).

I just caught that. If there is war, you can trust that Saint Fedski will be more than willing to help you defeat Captain Alex 'Butcher' Henderson and his pirates.

Ah... I did not realize they were pirates. In that case, there might indeed be war.

Fugitives from the law. They have this habit of making a raid, plundering the ships, plundering the village and either casting the crew adrift in their lifeboats, killing them or scuttling the ship, then disappearing from every kind radar, figuratively speaking. They are hard to track down. I have this loose idea where they run amok for quite sometime before engaging any actual fleet. There is a Chase Fleet hunting them down which will be their first engagement.

I'll let everyone know as things happen though.

Hey guys, could you please mark on the map( by posting your pic of the claim) where you claims are at in the map. It would it help us alot, if you do.

Yeah, I will eventually... I just wanted to state my claim so nobody else takes it (or at least so I can say I already have it). Once I start working on my post I will make an edit to the map.

This looks awesome, I think I'll go get a colony thread up.

I made my claim. It might be a little small but oh well. It hasn't even been settled by the couple hundred pirates in the area yet.

The major 'urban' area of the claimed land is called Nelson's Folly. It is represented by the red dot.

Aye... I will have my thread up today and then there may be some contact between us.

Here is my claim, marked on the map (The black square in the east, on the island).

The thread for it is coming today sometime.

The teal dot on the one of the Eastern Islands (the Southern one) is mine. I borrowed Saint Fedski's map to make the claim, to put things in perspective....if not, I can fix it.

Seeing as I was gone all day unexpectedly (well... sort of), I obviously did not get a chance to get my thread up.

However, let it be known that I will try to get it up tomorrow so that I am not just sitting there with a claimed piece of land and no RP to speak of. (Although tomorrow I will be gone most of the day also and then extremely tired when I get back. What I am trying to say is that I will have it up sometime... umm... by the year 2016 :p )

EDIT: Scratch that. I had a better idea. I'm claiming river in the Jungle on the West Side.

Maps have been updated as well as the guidelines/rules/framework for the RP...

Please refer to the second (2) post in the thread for the relevant material...

[OOC: Azazia, did you talk with OK about my idea with my Talos-class Module Set rolling in the area? Because while my government is anti-imperialist, they have been looking for an area to test the Southeast Asian space program out and facilities as such for that said program.]
Azazia - ????

sorry... you never mentioned to me anything about any module sets... but you'd be more than welcome to join... any colonies you could consider for IC purposes not as colonies per se, but offshore facilities for launching areas... as launching is best accomplished near the equator there is adequate room on the continent... mind you it is inhabited by natives a la the Amazon and Congo River Basin...

the coast, those are not fjords or
I decided to get a little creative there with the geography.

By definition a fjord is "a glacial trough valley now flooded with seawater to create a steep-walled inlet". It does not mention how high the 'walls' must be. I took a little liberty and ended the rivers a little upstream from the ocean in order to allow the branches to be called fjords. My pirates like fjords.

Edit: An additional note, just a small little point, Nelson's Folly is the name of the actual settlement. The claimed land itself has yet to be named. It will probably end up being Henderson's Land or something like that.

[OOC: Guys, is this acceptable (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a338/Singaporean_Liberal/myclaim.gif) to have a research facility of this size and the like? Because I don't wanna be viewed imperialistic ICly....]

SF: it's no big deal and for the sake of continuity, in your case, they're deeply cut paths into slivers of soft rock eroded out of a harder basalt-like rock. As for name, my apologies... when I get around to fixing the map next time I will fix it as 'Henderson's Land' or anything else you decide to name it.

SE Asia: that's quite large you know... on the first post OK posted a map I created that has the appropriate size for a first claim so if you're interested you'd be better off with that. On a more practical note, this continent is the size of Africa and a claim like that is, at first guess, maybe a sixth or seventh of the entire landmass... how big do you need a space research facility? If you really want a spaceport, might I suggest reading up on Baikonur, Guiana Space Centre, Plesetsk, and even the Kennedy Space Centre. They don't occupy a great deal of space and still perform adequately as spaceports.

The reason we need a big spot is because we not only need a place to fire a rocket, but also a place to do some research on terra-forming and on a Mars-like location. Besides, Southeast Asia is near your country, which is located in the RL region of Oceania, an area with highly similar geographical and weather features, it isn't exactly the best place to do so, so you should know better. However, my country does have the ability to send a human into space, and it does have a highly expensive space tourist facility.

well I'm afraid that I can't let you claim that much land... you'd be more than welcome to take a small, small piece of that along the size outlined in the first post of this thread and slowly expand it, but to start at that size... I'm afraid not. Of course you're more than welcome to start inland, as Hamptonshire did... but then you just have to roleplay the fact that your aircraft are flying territory possibly own by others - in his case he's more or less granted safe passage from the east owing to the UK's colony. To reach the middle of an isolated continent would be a far more difficult and arduous prospect though.

[OOC: Is this revised claim (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a338/Singaporean_Liberal/myclaim2.gif) better? Expand from the coastline with a few military bases to protect the colony and those nations we have friendly ties with then go into the desert?]

It's still too large, look at the claims by Rosdivan, Tropico and Delesa on the west coast and those of DMG, St Fedski, and New Dornalia on the east... and at Hamp's in the rift valley... that's the size you're looking at, all the other larger territories are pre-existing states and kingdoms on the continent...

[OOC: Finally good enough (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a338/Singaporean_Liberal/myclaim3.gif)?]

much much better... just try to keep in mind the object of this RP isn't to have massive swaths of land but to tell stories about developing lands and resources and forging ties with other nations... and all of that would be for nothing if everybody were to start with massive tracts of land... but that is much better... so welcome

Excellent. Now it's just a matter of racing to the desert in time and grabbing as much land as possible while trying not to piss off the natives and get enough land that will be sufficient for my space research facility!

and then just bear in mind that when you're RPing the natives, the site you chose is similar to the Mediterranean and so you won't be seeing massive states as the environment is not one that can sustain such without heavy investment and development of an infrastructure. Further south in the desert you're more likely to encounter nomads with occasional sedentary villages and small chiefdoms centred around rivers and the occasional oasis.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v172/NSFlags/?sc=1&multi=1&addtype=local&media=image

My claim is the land around that northwestern delta. The area claimed is roughly 165 pixels, which is 60 short of the total area of the referenced plot box. Btw, what area does a pixel represent?

Oh, and what kind of native opposition am I likely to face in securing my claims? Are the natives likely to be hostile? I assume they'll have roughly modern gear (assuming the "modern" era equals post-WWII)? If there is any armed opposition, are the natives likely to field heavy armour or is it going to be cold steel for the win?

Sorry for the twenty questions, but I'm trying to establish a base around which to RP staking my claim.

@SF: I am hoping to have my thread up today, and I was wondering if you wanted to have a little interaction as we are so close (I have something in mind - we can talk about it via MSN/AIM or something if you want to).

This seems pretty interesting and i might be able to rustle up an rp for my possible colony as yet another expansion my empire.

That is way too large of a claim.

The original map has a part that says the appropriate size of a claim (it is quite small).

Mod note: Thoses nationstates you see in the latest map, that have odd names and are apparently not player nations, those are NPC native states, they are to be left own..claim else where for now.

And also, please read the RULES on claiming land, please note its one square per week....

Future claimers: Please do not just start claiming land. This is an RP. You need to RP your people finding the continent, exploring it for a nice place to setup shop and then make your claim.

Azazia and OK don't want this to be just another land grab. They want everybody to have a story of how they came across this land. They want interation, relationships, exploration, exploitation, and just good RP. I doubt they want just a bunch of people claiming land, and never RPing with it.

yeah i just did, but the people just coming inoto this RP need to see the plot size, so we dont have to deal with people starting with too huge or asking if its too big. And its 1 square per week.

Here is the claim. For some reason, ImageShack gave me trouble with the full pic in any image format, so I cropped it with enough of the other islands it can be pasted flush over an existing map in Paint easily enough.

As for the reason it seems larger than most... it's because it's all little islands that, quite frankly, hold very little use for things other than tourism and fishing. Initially, control is limited to only the largest island in the circle. Plus, added together, the land wouldn't be much larger than the other plots taken.

That wasn't directed at you or anybody really. I knew what you were doing and I know that Azazia would not add your claim until you had some sort of story to back it up.

I was just directing at it people who thought this would be just a jump in grab some land, never rp anything and forget about it completely in a matter of days.

Is that too large? If so I can cut loose some islands.

no no im sure your islands can stay, i dont thnk we are including water zones, im bettign you can call all the water international until someone claims they put up a 12 kilometer zone or something.

No, I just drew the elipse on of fly to identify the islands. I'm not interested in the water, unless I get some flotilla sitting off my coast...

That is probably fine as long as you can think of a reason to land on multiple islands (which shouldn't be hard)

Alright for thoses who have been on this rp for at least a whole week and have set up a rp for their claims..you may expand one block, yet you must rp this expansion of your claim.

My second square. The Tropicans expand down the coast, after receiving supplies.

Its it alright if i move my next square to the island next to my claim? if so can someone do it for me.. im not on my normal computer and i cant find a paint program, unless someone has a web address that i can download one...

Saint Fedski, we need talk on MSN.

Alright, updated the map and the list to the threads, which I have been reading and replying to if it makes IC sense for me to... again, apologies for the slow response and all but I am rather busy... now to try and answer the backlog of questions and concerns... if i skip yours just bring it to my attention and i'll get back to you asap.

Scandavian States: As of right now, I have no idea what area a single pixel represents... for now, suffice to say that the continent is roughly the size of Africa. When I have time I intend to do a lot more detail and thematic maps, including designing a nice legend with a scale and all such jazz but that will require a great deal of time that for now I wish I had. About the local natives, in that part the environment supports a sparse population - the only significant population i envisioned for that whole area is concentrated on that delta so yes, i'd imagine that they wouldn't field heavy armour because they really have no major threats and there is therefore no historical impetus for such development. I envision such a population having aeroplanes for long-range reconnaissance of the seas to the north and the vast desert and scrubland in every other direction. As for the question of whether they would be hostile, it depends upon how you react to their presence... go in with guns blazing and they won't be too happy, go in peacefully and try to reason and negotiate your way into a colony and they'd be more likely to get along amicably. As for the twenty questions, not a problem at all... it might take me a while, but ask away and I'll do my best to accomodate.

Crimmond: your claim is absolutely fine... about territorial limits... that would be one of those areas i would like to see resolved ICly at some point, more than likely after nations begin to try to exercise their maritime influence... always good to have nice international conferences.

Delesa: i'd like to, but that would be unfair for me to map your claim for you. About whether you can move across to the island... no reason not to, go for it.

Think that covers it... map is updated and such... and so that covers it for now i believe

[OOC: Azazia, please correct my landing thread title.]

it's been abbreviated for the fact it's rather long, hence the ellipsis

Would it be possible to claim, as well as get some information concerning the native population of the area indicated here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/JC_Denton/5045608a.gif)?

Thier ethnic makeup, original cultural roots, perhaps? The types of dwellings they inhabit would also be of use - are these tribespeople living in mud huts, or do they have a more technically developed way of life?

If I'm not misunderstanding, Azazia, you yourself will be performing the roleplaying of the native "NPCs" of Terra Recedentia, but I'd still like to have some basic information regarding how the tribespeople of the area and thier villages look so that the impressions of the first DC persons to arrive may be properly written in accordance to whatever pre-existing designs you have.

Thank you for your time.

Welcome to the rp, the natives as you see them are like the natives of the Land down under..they have their unqiure culturals and etc. Since you pick a area of unorganize tribal lands, logic would state, they are just bunch of villages at best. And don't mind Parthini, he is just plain loony...

Parthini']Grrrr! That's my next space :mad:

Since you pick a area of unorganize tribal lands, logic would state, they are just bunch of villages at best.

In that case, would we be talking mud huts and wooden spears being the norm for the unorganized tribal peoples?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I just wanted to ensure that I don't screw anything up too badly.

Also, am I correct in my understanding that I should not RP the natives themselves, as Azazia will be doing that?

For the most part,yes..just a bunch of tribal people with wooden spears..and yes Azazia would rping as the natives if he has time..yet he can correct me on this matter..since he has more backgound on the natives, since he made up the NPC states and etc, so if you have anymore questions on this issue, just TG Azazia to get a better answer on it or just IM me on MSN or AIM.

So does this mean that I should scrap my current goings in the Admonish thread and start over, or are they fine?

About the inhabitants in the tribal rainforest tropical jungle areas... they'd be fairly unorganised as the heavy and dense vegetation doesn't allow for easy lines of communication - even by modern standards. There would likely be a mix of mud huts and spear wielding natives to locally modern communes with the more modern peoples located along the coast or natural lines of communication and trade, ie rivers and such. For those more modern natives expect locally produced weapons along the lines of the venerable AK and of course Molotov cocktails and alike. They'd not likely have ammenities such as running water and electricity though i imagine a few communes together could scrap up the necessary manpower and capital to construct hydoelectric facilities and alike. As for the natives, I don't have the time to RP each and every native tribe and so I'd rather others RP them - but please do so reasonably, and thus far it seems like most are... i am rather pleased with what i am seeing so please keep it up. Just because i haven't posted in a particular thread doesn't mean I haven't read it or that i have no interest in it... but, for example, there are no IC reasons for me to post on what's going on the far side of the continent...

hope that helps

I think I have a decent enough handle on things.

Thank you for your assistance. I'll get on making an IC entry into Terra Recedentia right away.

Hello all. Ottoman showed me this, and I must say it looks pretty cool. If you don't mind, I've gone ahead and drawn up a claim; I'll started on an IC thread and hopefully have it up later tonight or tomorrow.

[OOC: Azazia, can you please role-play the native response to my landing?]

I am not going to need any help with the natives for a bit of time (ICly and most likely OOCly) because I don't plan on having any contact with those four tribes above me... however, I will eventually need someone to take their handles.

Alright, D.C. referred me to this RP, and I'm pretty interested. I was thinking of that river delta southeast of SEA's current claim, though at the moment it seems he'll likely be working towards that area.

Instead, I think I'll take a plot on the river that's west of SEA, something like this: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j118/ChevyRocks/TerraRecedentia.gif

I'm currently working on an IC post, hopefully it will be up soon.

I hope it's OK that I've RPed the sub's captain as spotting an oil slick on the surface of the water due to oil seep from underwater. I don't intend them to be setting up oil production right away, of course, I'll be sending teams to explore the nearby land and determine if there is actually oil present, or whatever other resources may be there.

If this isn't OK, I'll change it.

it'd be a problem because there is no oil in that area... sorry...

by the way, everybody else thus far, your plots are fine... i've just been very busy at work as of late... sucks when one person quits and another is fired... my schedule gets all screwed up... maps and such will be updated soon

Alright, no problem. I'll go back and change it.

Actually, I think I'll incorporate that into my RP: the exploration teams expecting to find oil but not finding any.

i do believe I have updated the map to incorporate the most recent claims... if I have missed anything, again, please point it out and I will attempt to rectify my mistake as soon as possible.

As for the idea of saving your time for one large claim... I don't see why one should not be able to do so - just try to RP it well. Again, I am quite pleased with what i am seeing and I don't anticipate on that being a problem.

For DMG, those native tribes you allude to are actually developed states with functioning governments and militaries... the only real 'tribes' per se are those around the equatorial belt where the environment and geography has hindered economic and political development. For those states on the island you inhabit and along the eastern coast of the island opposite said states, you are looking at individually weaker states that are strong through a tightly knit federation government. each state maintains sovereignty over its domestic affairs, but they work cooperatively for military defence, foreign policy, and trade relations - thus as one unit they are relatively powerful.

Regarding other people's claims and their attention... I imagine that many of us have busy lives and especially as the summer wraps up in the northern hemisphere, many of us - including myself - will be returning to hectic schedules of educational institutions.

yeah and it should pick up after summers over and people are settled in

It doesn't seem like that many people are continuing their claims or paying attention to this RP [series] at all.

I plan on RPing still, I've been a bit busy as of late and haven't had much time to add on.

I'm thinking of joining up...not sure what to claim...

Im in, Ill claim a strip of land inbetween Rosdivan's Claim and Ottoman Khaif, in a part of the unorganised tribal land strip. Northern Savannah Area... will get claim IC post up as soon as I can.

Sounds good. Makes for a better/more interesting story where there is an actual war. (I am going to be using low tech equipment, so it will be quite even if in fact the natives don't have an advantage).

Curse you Jag, you screwed up my story!

How so?

I was planning on having an expedition go down there and investigate the place, but he beat me to it!

I think I'll join this, if you allow me to. I'll be taking the area around the river entrance that lies between the UK area to the south and the Ri'tu lands to the north. This lies in Tribal lands. I'll get a map up as soon as I can, either tonight or tomorrow. RP post coming soon.

Ah, hence the military support from the 'security' forces MierTech owns - being the only defence contrctor for Phoenixius they have the best equipment, and conversely the best training too. And later the Phoenixius Council may get involved some how.

Eh, Nelson's Folly is across the waters and is going to be 'busy' soon (though not all of its forces).

Actually Nelson's Folly is busy right now. Mister Henderson is sailing over to Alexandria as we speak...well once he picks up Mr. Quaker.

Just a small warning, I move in today to college--so my time will be spotty this afternoon and weekend, as UCONN insists on holding special ceremonies....having said that, if I get on, I get on.

Cotland, I think that spots been taken already. Check out the current map on the seond post, about halfway down.

While I've primarily RP'd in E2, I'm in no way restricted to E2. I haven't RP'd that much outside E2, but this looks like a cool RP and I want in.

As for whether the area is taken, this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/fbcatholicsfan/Political-Map-19-08-06.gif) shows that that particular river outlet is available (native trives excluded).

Of course that will happen after Henderson takes on a massive Oceanian freighter and after Henderson plunders Alexandria.

@SEA: Do you still have any interest/need for the TG you sent me?

DMG: Sure, help from the Supreme Ruler of the Dominion shall be appreciated.

Saint Fedski: They've just landed, and are going to be journeying to the desert to find a spot. Not yet sure, still thinking about that idea. Try your luck with those forces from Crimmond who have established a presence in some archipelago near the New Dornalian colony, and you can try your luck with New Dornalia as well.

Crimmond and New Dornalia: Sorry to toss the hot potato at you guys!

So, is there any life left in Terra Recedentia? If there is, I'd like to restart my writing efforts, but if not... well, it'd be a shame if there wasn't.
Terra Recedentia is still running..its appears inactive, because most of us are busy with school and other stuff. So yeah the rp is still kicking.

I'm gonna try and get more involved in this, since I don't really have much else (anything else) in NS that's going on.

Anybody got any ideas of what should become of my space facility thanks to Kraven?

My interest in this has been rekindled. I shall whip up a thread regarding the beginning of my imperialism here and edit in the link.

EDIT 1: What sort of tech level would the small kingdoms of the eastern area (Brimati, Artul, Ri'itu, Cirovata, Olo, Korol, T'ata) have? And you RP them, correct? In that case, for my intro, could I make use of a few to start me off?

Do you have any other info about these little places? Language, culture, population, etc?

I want in on this, but of course I can't draw worth a damn. Can someone help me and plop down myfirst box on the shore right next to KLM's border?

Could you be more exact on the location...the KLM has two colonies on the top and bottom..

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but are there actually only two people with claims so far?

You're wrong. There are many. The updated map (as of a while ago) is on the second post as well as links to several of the RPs based around those claims.

Ah. Thank you.

Now, would this (http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aesonicclaim3gm.png) be an acceptable beginning claim?

*Near the southwestern coast of the the tribal lands*

Just a quick question. About what level of technology can I expect the native to be at? Scavanged weaponry and crude firearms?

Ah. Thank you.

Yes it is...feel free to set up a rp for it.

... Darn time warps.

OOC:I've been shown here by Southeast Asia after posting about over crowding in my nation.I would like to stake a claim however I am not on windows and the Linux paint type program is confusing .I'll try to describe as best I can where I want my claim to be.Southern part of the mainland,north of the green area,to the south of the first river along the coast.As soon as I'm accepted I'll post my colonization thread.

[OOC: Is this role-play dead?]
