NationStates Jolt Archive

Right, it was promised, and now it's here!

Firstly, the colonial rules.

Your claimed nation has a certain number of coastal provinces. These are provinces that have some part of their border bordering the sea. It doesn't matter how much, only that some of it does.

Secondly, you have a total number of provinces. Multiply the two. This gives you your total number of claims on colonies.

Thirdly, if you are a nation which has access only inside of the Baltic Sea (specifically the German Empire and Wolfestein, Arctic access does not count for colonies), you halve this figure before going colonising.

Lastly, if you were among the first five nations to sign up (disregarding myself, so the first six), you will receive a bonus. These colonies are exempt from the Baltic penalty.

2nd: 10 extra colonies
3rd: 8 extra colonies
4th: 6 extra colonies
5th: 4 extra colonies
6th: 2 extra colonies

Now, go for it! Furthermore, any claims made for new nations outside of Europe will be made here, as so no conflicting claims on land are made. Remember, first come, first serve. If the claim is made, then you can't have it.

And now, this is important.

Only claims made on the world map will be added to the game.

No describing, no request for certain 'areas' of territory. Rather, you must save the map to disk, open it up in Paint (or, should you possess a non-Microsoft operating system, the GIMP, or any Mac program that comes to hand), and colour in the areas that you desire. If a border is slightly off, and you colour in two territories with one 'fill', fix it, if they are obviously not one territory.


Colonial Population, and Management of Colonies
You gain a total of 20,000 bonus people per colony you claim.

However, this population does not have to be spread equally among your colonies. You can spread it out however you like (should you not make a statement regarding population in specific colonies, however, it will be assumed to be equal.)

Furthermore, although this system does not apply to the mainland (As ICCD and I are discussing a more 'formal' system of management for the economies), you get a total of 10 'points' per colony to spend. Each of the following 3 categories may have up to 10 points on it per colony. A minimum of 1 point of infrastructure must be in existence for each point of mining or production.

Note that you don't have to assign points to every single one of your colonies at once - however, if there's one in contention, or one you use a lot, it might be a good idea to do so.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure, railroads, roads.. essentially, 10 is European-quality, 0 is the rolling, open plains.

Mining: Metals, gold, silver, tin.. 1 is a beginning operation, a single lode struck, and ten or twenty miners there, 10 is a massive operation with trucks and mining equipment coming in every day. Mining is a category all of its own, as this includes coal and oil.

Production: From slaves to tea to tobacco, production of useful substances outside of Europe happens here. 10 is full-scale production, the useage of all resources in the area, whereas 1 is a tiny, starting operation.

Fortification: Another 1-10 unit, which is unrelated to the others. This one is especially pertinent - for every point you spend on fortification, that's one less you can spend on making money. However, every point you don't makes it easier to take.. 1 is basic trenches and the like, 10 is a fully-fledged fort, with 7-8 being a small redoubt or two.

My claim. China will grow larger!

I guess I should be glad you choose to post this today. If you had made this topic any earlier I would have been llimited to 15 provinces :)

A-yup. I'll add you to the list of nations in the signup thread now.

Awesomesauce.
I'll start making trouble for you western barbarians tommorow.

I would laso like to draw upon the precedent set by the incorporation of Luxembourg into Belgium, and claim the small provinces of Qatar and Djibouti (not yet marked with blue), and request that Kuwait (claimed) be incorporated into East Iraqi province.

Your first two requests are accepted - however, considering that Kuwait is approximately the same size as many African and American territories, it will remain as is.

Stumbled upon Baltic limitation rule. (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h91/ReLib/worldmap1914im3-3.png)

Added it is, then.

http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s30/lordmango3/?action=view&current=worldmap1914im3-3copy.png

EDIT Sorry didn't use updated map. And miscounted.

I'd like to claim the rest of Turkey, the rest of Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijin, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan

OOC: again, computer's bad so I can't color it on the map, I'm going on the division of provinces

EDIT- http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u158/Haneastic_2007/worldmap1914im2-1.png

no borders, but shows what I'm claiming

Hyper u have yet to add me on the map :(

I claim Northern Libya and Algeria. Also if I am allowed it, the rest of Libya and Algeria. And if I still have room after that, then the rest of Egypt and Nigeria and that piece of Sudan touching the Red Sea.

I colored all of my hopefully allowed territory so you could see what I claimed.

I'd like to claim the eastern USA.

As a power not in Europe, do I still get colonies, or not?

I've already posted my cliam for that area with colonies, although since your claiming a country, and I haven't been approved yet, you may still get it.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Here are my claims (for the most part Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, and part of Iran), sorry the quality sucks I had some issues:

Bautzen, that area is already claimed by two people...

Bautzen, that area is already claimed by two people...

Indeed, Ilar and German Empire both have claims over that area

Indeed, Ilar and German Empire both have claims over that area

Ok, I didn't realize that, would someone mind terribly comming up with an updated map then. That way I can know what isn't claimed:).

or you could look at the various maps each person has put up... takes a bit longer, but the info's there.

Angerman im not added on the map :confused:

*shrugs* 'tis HT's map, and his job... i'm just on more often so i try to answer questions when i can.

i believe you did not claim a specific territory, nor post a fact book, if i remember rightly. both are required, though the fact book need not be all that detailed.

Wtf i have a factbook and was accepted in but my nation was not on the map

Wtf i have a factbook and was accepted in but my nation was not on the map

Timezones, my good man.
HST lives over in Euroland (I think, anyway). Last time I saw him on was ~3 hours from now, yesterday.

actually, i believe he lives out the the 'backwoods' of Australia, if I'm keeping my mental "who's who where" list straight :)

Kansiov, obviously, then, i am misremembering and thinking of someone else [thus the "i believe" element of the statement], in which case, all i can say is "ask HT"

odds are good it just got lost in the shuffle. he only checks things once a day [sometimes less often], and you guys post a Lot all at once sometimes :)

As Anger has correctly stated, HT lives in Australia, and is currently a bit under the weather as far I can tell. Give him time, gentlemen, and he will recover.

Righty-ho, Kansiov. You're added on the map. It's edited into the signup thread, of course. However, if you're dealing with the world map, dude, it's really hard to add tiny nations like yourself onto that, so you might just not appear inside of Europe - keep in mind, of course, that the world map is only definitive when it applies to outside of Europe, inside of Europe, the main map takes precedence.

Colonial claims attached. Assuming I read the rules right; the top left province has a fortification level of 5, all other values 3. (14 points) The four in the east bordering Illar have fortifications of 6, other values (production, mining, infrastructure) of 4. (72 points).
This consumes 86 points. The remaining 4 points are used on infrastructure linking the provinces at each end.

Let the games commence, &c.

have our claims been updated on the map? And how do I calculate infrastructure, mining, ect.?

Jagaro would like to expand into greenland. My first claims are as shown, let me know if I am entitled to any more.

Well, actually, you're entitled to half of that. 1x1=1.

Well, actually, you're entitled to half of that. 1x1=1.

I was lead to beleave that we got 2 colonialies for each province.

1x2=2

Your claimed nation has a certain number of coastal provinces. These are provinces that have some part of their border bordering the sea. It doesn't matter how much, only that some of it does.

Secondly, you have a total number of provinces. Multiply the two. This gives you your total number of claims on colonies.

Coastal provinces times total provinces = colonial provinces. Simple. Divide by two if your only sea access is in the Baltic. Therefore, you have one coastal province (Iceland), and one province total (Iceland). One times one equals one.


Also, Waldenburg and Caladonn, Waldenburg's claims take precedence (I'm a firm believer of first come first served), however, if, Waldenburg, you want to talk to him (and perhaps take only a bit of the coast, and more of the Western USA and Canada, perhaps), so he can serve as a continental ally. If you want to talk to him about that, feel free. If you just want to thumb your nose at him and take the colonies anyway, just.. well, post some sort of confirmation, mmkay?

I'm thinking he's reading "multiply the two" as "multiply by two" ... probably.

Fine then just northern Greenland.

Also
Infastructure 2
Mining 2
Production 0
Fortification 6

And my math should be right on that one.

I was the sixth person to claim, and I think it was ignored. So here I go again.

I claim the coastal provinces in LIBYA, plus the two provinces below the coastal ones. I was the original sixth person to post, so I think the extra two colonies.

And how do I add up teh stats for mining, infrastructure, fortifications, agriculture, ect.?

my colonial claims

That's your factbook.

yea copied wrong thing.

Big empires are unrealistic? Go tell that to the British. Or the Spanish, for that matter.

Now, keep in mind Brink, since you didn't claim all of your claims, you can claim overseas provinces as home provinces (a population that needs to come from your base 13 million, admittedly), as opposed to colonial ones. This will also increase your number of total colonies (assuming both your claims are coastal, 36 colonies as opposed to 16). Of course, you don't have to do that, but I'm throwing it out there as an option.

Correction. Turns out since I have three provinces, all coastal, I get nine picks, along with my two extra one for being the fifth one (Not including HT) to claim. So I pick All of coastal Libya, the two areas below those in libya, and the piece of Tunisia that is left unclaimed and the easternmost coastal province of Algeria.

I didnt mean to come off as rude. I understand large empires are more then realistic but it seems for the sake of this RP that said empire might be overkill. Though I wont be saying that if said empire is on my side.

I suppose I'll add a little bit more land if that is the case. Though Would it be ok to call the added territories colonies?

If not claimed I'd like to add the Philippines as a home territory and just refer to it as a colony.

If not claimed I'd like to add the Philippines as a home territory and just refer to it as a colony.

leaving aside that such a claim would be ... slightly silly, geographically.... [and, you know, it's Legitimate silliness, but I'd love to see the IC explanation for it! *laughs*]

this leaves me with but one option....


.....


....

evil laughter.

here it is:


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Can anybody answer my questions?

Can anybody answer my questions?

would those be about the colony economics that HT explained on the First Page? [possibly even the first post :S]

[though, admittedly, his original explanation was a Little murky in a couple of places]

Okay, i understand that now, can my claims be confirmed yet?

Then on the first come first serve basis I would like to still claim my colonies as posted earlier.

Your sarcasm saddens me. I'll do just fine, I understand the geography but i simply want to see where i go with it.

I don't know, I think *active* large empires are more than acceptable. Anything that large is perforce more interested in maintaining the status quo than expansion...and think of the vulnerability of 100-odd colonies with an average of 20,000 people...it is quite fragile. That means it can be beaten, if you're careful, and there is much to be gained from so doing.

Your sarcasm saddens me. I'll do just fine, I understand the geography but i simply want to see where i go with it.

errrr.... is that referring to my earlier comment? i wasn't being sarcastic.

if you take the Philippines, you're kind of smack bang in the middle of my colonies... as in, totally surrounded 'cept possibly for a bit where there's just ocean between there and china.

not to mention i control panama [at least at the moment].

Aw. You mistake my intentions. I always have a plan.

Aw. You mistake my intentions. I always have a plan.

mmm. 'no plan survives first contact with the enemy' ... and often the enemy is simply reality, not a genuine foe.

.... i want to say things here, but anything i could say gives away things i can't afford to give away... so sad....

Again you mistake my intentions for something like ambition. I encourage what you plan to do.

Correction. Turns out since I have three provinces, all coastal, I get nine picks, along with my two extra one for being the fifth one (Not including HT) to claim. So I pick All of coastal Libya, the two areas below those in libya, and the piece of Tunisia that is left unclaimed and the easternmost coastal province of Algeria.

Ooh, I now sort of understand what you mean. However, given that you've changed your claim, what I now understand you as claiming includes territories I've claimed that I initially thought you weren't asking for, and that I claimed before your revision.
Can we talk about this, with reference to my claim at the bottom of page two?

Oh, sure. How should we sort it out? If you want to keep that cliam, I suppose I could repost the clim for the rest of the Libyan Coast, The other piece of Libya below that, the other piece of Tunisia, the rest of the Algerian Coast, The big piece of Algeria touching Tunisia and the easternmost part of Algeria not touching the coast.

Sorry, wrote something then saw your response.

If you're happy with that, that's fine by me. So, to clarify, you're saying:

(map to follow momentarily).

deal.

And with colonies sorted, it's time for *things to start happening in Europe* mwoohahaha.
Excuse me. Anyway, new thread up shortly with details, I'll link it to the hub.

i actually already claimed the algerian coast and the large piece touching tunisia in an earlier post.

Well, could you and Candistan possibly talk it over between you, so we can have an amicable solution and don't need HT to decide something that no-one's happy with?

Well i dont want to be a hassle but i did claim it first, using a map and all.

Ok, if you really want a Mediterranean territory, given that Illar controls both Gibraltar and Suez, how about the attached.
I don't know how many colonies you're entitled to/wanting, but what I've done is shifted both Candistan's and my claims eastwards so you get a significant coastline from which you can expand inland.

To both you and Candistan, is this acceptable, or are we going to have to come up with something else?

Fine by me.

any chance we can get a fully updated map?

Incognita, I'd be okay with it. I just need two mroe territories added since I was the fifth to claim. I'll take Whats left of Algeria and Northern Nigeria.

Ok, since people are apparently incapable of reading, I will help them.

No describing, no request for certain 'areas' of territory. Rather, you must save the map to disk, open it up in Paint (or, should you possess a non-Microsoft operating system, the GIMP, or any Mac program that comes to hand), and colour in the areas that you desire.

This means, very simply, you edit the map. It doesn't have to be the entire world map - you can upload a localized bit of it which contains your colonies. Candistan, you uploaded a map of such incredibly fucking tiny proportions that it would require a microscope just to see where you claimed. This is why your claim was not accepted.

Furthermore, I don't do descriptions. My knowledge of European geography is decent - and Europe is fairly small, so descriptions there can be done. Descriptions here, however, cannot. If you're not going to post a map that I can easily look at, you won't get you claim. If you continue to bitch to me about how your claim hasn't been recognized, you simply won't get any colonies. At all. Ever.

So, here's what you're going to do. Any one of you who wants a claim, and hasn't already got one. Firstly, you are going to edit your claims into the map. You are then going to upload it - this can be done at photobucket, tinypic, or any other number of free image hosting sites. After you do this, I will put your claim on the map. This will generally be once or twice a day - unless, like today, I'm home all day.

Incidentally, I'm glad you're working these things out among yourselves. Because my 'compromise' is likely to favour the people who have annoyed me the least. So, yeah. Once you've worked stuff out, post a map regarding all of your compromised claims, and I'll add it to the one I've been updating. (And will upload today, as soon as I add the last few claims and whatnot onto it.)

If an attached map won't do. (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t94/Terror_Incognitia/claimed.png)

Alright here are my new claims:

EDIT: Ignore the attachment it is hard to make out where you are looking at, go here:

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/Bautzen/MyClaims2.jpg

Ok, I've discovered I've been a truly stupid boy and honestly can't look at a map right; I have two coastal provinces, the one corresponding to Slovenia, and the one corresponding to Croatia.
This makes me eligible for twice the colonies I had thought; however I would like instead to say that the population of the ones I have already claimed is doubled.

Also, I would like to apply some extra points to these colonies; i.e. apply the investment that would have gone on other colonies to the ones I already own.

my claims

Note, Incognitia's map is more-or-less official, as it makes things very easy for me from now on. Keep that in mind if you're claiming territory. That's how them things lie now. Or something.

But it may conflict with one or two people's claims.. I'm not too fussed. Just claim somewhere else if that's happened, mmkay?

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/Darth_Sin/worldmap1914_v5.png

my claims.

Here's my claim.

Southern and Northern parts of Siberia.

My claims.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/Darth_Sin/worldmap1914_v5.png

Mmmkay. Tell me, Turbikistan. How many coastal provinces do you have?

None, but we can use railroads.

Mmmkay. The colonization rules at the beginning of the thread state that you multiply your total provinces by your coastal provinces to get your colonies. Thus, in your case, 2 times 0 is.. well, 0.

I'm rather happy today, so I won't go crazy at you for making the mistake. It's cool. Just keep in mind this is more to do with realism - nations without coastlines didn't get colonies, or, if they did, they didn't retain them very long.

I'm sorry, I must have misread.

S'ok. Just focus on your army, and when the time comes, rampage across all of Europe like a rampaging manbearpig of DOOM! Or, yeah, you could trade n'stuff, and make good alliances. It's all good.

Is this the case, can someone refer me to the thread that I got stomped?

If I'm not and it is just an abjuration on the map.. what is left.. can I pick up some of east africa's coast? about somoliland etc..

Yes that was bad coloring, and you weren't active for a long time

Ok i have been absent for a LONG time, reasons being i am VERY busy at work and have been for the last little while making it nearly impossible to post on NS. I have decided to give complete control of Osteia to the "Anj Reich", meaning EVERYTHING will be at his disposal. I do not wish to cause conflict in the Rp and this is the easist way to avoid it...sooo with that said i am really sorry i cannot take part and i regret not having the time to play as i have looked over the Rp afew times and it seems to be progressing rather well.

Now i leave this to my long time friend, Angermanland...

My very best reguards and wishes,

Albert (Osteia)

Best of luck to everyone, have fun..

Yes that was bad coloring, and you weren't active for a long time

ah, well I was checking in when the board wasn't down, but I didn't really notice much movement (i.e. no new posts) was also busy with finishing up some school.

I'll be sporadic again starting this saturday (will only be able to post if so from school library as I'm going up north to NIppising/Canadore in North Bay for an Official Languages program to improve my French language skills.

I'll put priority to responding to emails and TG's.

I may have appeared in active but have reduced my posting to responding to posts with my nationstates names or titled with EU1914 etc.. anything else will slip under my radar cause I don't have the time to troll the NS forums right now. I can only be lightly active this means, checkign in a few times during the week at most and posting up anything I've written offline. (come May) If the board crashes when I log on (which happened fairly often this past month) and I miss the window it will be delayed.

The EU1914 has not appeared very active to me, so I don't think it should be much of an issue.

As for claims, if the other person made the same claim then can you show me what you were interested in this bearing HT has the same answer.

It did appear that you must have assumed I wasn't active.. thing was there really wasn't much happening that I've seen.

So I'll see about checking back.. but I'm not disapearing just yet.. email or TG me if you are wondering what's up or you are looking for RP content. I have a few RP modes (a wwI and my main nationstate and potentially a couple other things on the go) In march and early april I was heavy with doing my final exams and some classes.. I've been accepted to the anthropology program (and met my conditions of admission and managed to get the 85+% scholarship I was looking for.. so now I'm fairly open for the summer. but have the french language program which I got into via the lottery (before it filled or probability) from May to June .. I'll be back probably to the 16 or as late as the 26th or 28th of June or so.. but am going to attempt to get to the manitoulin Island as much time as I can over the summer. I'm away or not accessable with high probability from July 19th to 22nd and other then that I'm not sure. I'll probably have time on and offline over the summer. So I won't be online everyday with time but I should be able to get in time to respond to posts ever couple days, that is until I go to the manitoulin.. where I'll likely be camping out with basically no modern conveinces, should it happen for a few blocks of time during the summer.

So I am reachable. If there is actually something going on then i ask you TG me. I've only had one TG show up for this RP and no emails. I'm able to be reached on MIRC if you set up a meet time, but I am not spending a lot of deadtime on nationstates right now. (not that you could tell by the length of my posts.) I am interested in this RP though as I like the mindset i have for The Conference Anatolia and Crete.

Anyway I'm not too concerned about colonies cause I hadn't really worked them into my country.. but I'd be open to picking up any islands or some part of east african coast (as close to me as posible) I don't picture them as being overly colonial, but some type of trade agreement.

To the person that was interested in the same area, which ones were you interested in can you paint them on the map, and send me a link or post it up.. I'm curious.. I think unless I'm wrong I would be able to get up to 8 colonial squares?

important though if you think I"m inactive contact me or use the tag ICCD otherwise I won't see the spot or concern that i'm inactive.

Hanseatic is it ok that I'm back to my territories?(not that i really left) and perhaps you can put up for some colonial squares in absence of lydia?

most of the activity has been in "the shot heard around the world" a thread i can't remember the name of regarding Jagaro and Waldenburg and.... a little bit in the alliances thread.

hint: new posts in the hub thread Usually mean a new thread to keep track of. unfortunately HT hasn't been keeping the front page of that up to date last i checked.

Now that I've got a coastal province,I assume that entitles me to some Colonies?

I edited the map to include my colonies,I know they are in an odd place,but there isn't much left to choose from.

If there is a problem with my colonies or how many I have or anything else please tell me.

The Waldenburg-Jagaro incident thread is called the "Unlawful Annexation" Thread, I would suggest reading it, if for nothing else other then how fascinating it is turning out to be.

Here is what I was thinking with my 8 squares (rough painting but you should be able to see what 8 by it. (basically sudan and ethiopia)

p.s. I'm currious how HST got so much territory was it just how much HST felt like having or was there a formula? Was it based on it being the founder of the RP??? where the first people got 10 or 12 extra so what was that the territories + 14 or something?

asuming this goes forward

I'll have about 100k of the colonials bordered around the coastal areas with the other 60k spread inland, mostly at resources areas.

I'm not fully sure how the point system is going.. but I'd like to have a couple ports / harbours

I'd divide it 3,3,2,2 for point basis

I'm curious as to why you didn't read the first post, personally. I mean, the entire thing is explained there. But I digress.

Oh, and as I've said to numerous others - the map of Europe in this map is terrible. I've more-or-less wiped the provinces Bosphorus off the map, so that it can be shown more clearly. I haven't really bothered with colouring in little islands, so yes, you, among five or six others, are not on this map. But this is not the definitive map for Europe. It's subordinate to the map on the main thread.

You'll notice that it hasn't been updated for newer nations - that'll happen when, frankly, I get round to it. This map is horrible to edit inside of Europe, and I'm not really thrilled with the idea of updating it with every little change on the map whenever something happens. We have the main map for that.

HMMM that mass of gray makes it look strange and I can't tell if that's Europe added or not. Cause I did request for some land near there. HMMM.....

HMMM this map is subordinate to the main map so deal with it HMMM.....

In other news, I will not be updating the map tonight. I will be entertaining myself in other ways. Ones that don't involve reading a backlog of people bitching about the fact that they're not on this map. Please, this is the colonial map. I included Europe so there wasn't a gaping white hole there. I'll get around to your claims sometime soon. In the meantime, I have exams to study for, exams to study for, and also a few more assignments that have been tidily piled upon my beast-of-burden-like back so my teachers can have them in.. before my exams.

Chill dude, you can study and get yourself an education. We're good with that; process my claim this year or next, colonies are when you can get around too it. This being Europe 1914.

Hey can i claim the three top parts of Africa left...I'll be the Socialist States of Sahara. Ill begin to work on a factbook if a get accepted

If you post a scrap of a factbook, about two paragraphs stating your army size, capital, history, and other national oddities it helps infinetly with selecting you, Also a map really helps with that although usually HT can dechipher what everyone means. If you do that you'll probably be in by tommorow afternoon.

Alright thanks ill get on top of that, my painting programm is acting up tho i think he knows what i mean.. Sure ill begin to complie my info

Keep in mind all limitations on claims due to population within Europe also apply to those outside of Europe.
