OOC: Rodinia is a roleplaying region. For all interested, apply below.

Official notice:
At the request of Uiri, the nations of Rodinia kindly request that any nations who do not wish to apply to Rodinia not post here, but instead direct their problems to myself or Uiri. In short, Stop spamming.



Rodinia (from the Russian for "motherland") is a vast region located in more temperate climates. The large size of this region (running from the equator to 40º N and from 140º E to 180º E) allows for its diverse nature, and the great variety of the people who inhabit it. It spans a large continent, with several outlying large islands. The climate remains cool, but, the great size of the area means that the temperature and weather remains diverse throughout the region.


Rodinia also houses a growing population of nations active on the international scene. Our current residents both take part in many international occurrences and incidents, and are very diverse in their populations and their governmental styles.

Our goal is to provide a community for international incidents regulars and newcomers to find a kindred group with which to RP. Rodinia is a community to all kinds of MT RPers- from dictatorships to democracies, from communist to capitalist, we're glad to take them all.

Name of National Leader:

In case you are wondering:

STOP SPAMMING; I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR MAPS.

It seems my concerns have been addressed. As such this post only serves that there used to be an icky treaty you must agree with to get into the region and now it is gone. Oh and...

IT IS FIESTA™ TIME!!

*Uiri starts the fiesta

One free fiesta with every joining.

Another notice which I am putting here...

The temperatures and climate of each country should be negotiated with neighbours and in general the region runs from the equator to 40º N and from 140º E to 180º. This creates three timezones. +12 UTC is from 172º E to 180º E. The other timezones are +11 UTC which runs from 157.5º E to 172.5º E, +10 UTC which encompasses the rest. Daylight savings doesn't make sense below 30º although if you want to you may use daylight savings (which would be in effect now.)

Rodinia is open and accepting members as we speak!

*joins Uiri in very small fiesta*

Guys, leave Faxanavia alone. He's trying to start a region, not a spamfest. Now, I admit that I participated with one post, but this is just too much. Especially on the forums.

Please. As Stoklomovski said, this is not a map contest, and Nosoreppazzau, I am frankly somewhat offended that you'd use this area to ask to join another region. If you wish to become a member of Rodinia, we woul be happy to accept you, but please, this is not the Havenite thread. As for the rest of you, please, direct all map questions to Uiri.

Also, NE, thank you very much for your aid. I am somewhat new to invisionfree, although I did not expect the utter juevenile actions I witnessed there. Be assured, I will think in the future before I allow people of the likes of Kampfers or Praetonia to view said board.

What is more juvenile: wearing a "kick me" sign, or following up on the instructions contained in said sign? Food for thought.

Following up on the instructions contained in said sign. lol. Seriously though please do not spam up this thread unless you are in/would like to come into the region.

Thank you, Uiri, for nailing that down. Bretton, while I understand your anecdote, I do not see how it justifies respectable nations spamming my boards with ridiculous nonsense.

Yes sir. Fixed sir.

Well, if you must know, my thesis follows that acts of vulnerability on the internet tend to be rewarded with spite and trolling. This is natural and shouldn't be considered in bad taste: the trollers get some laughs, and the trollees never make that mistake of vulnerability again. Thus I wouldn't specifically call it juvenile.

What's the space limit?

I'll have to discuss that with Faxanavia. Why, what did you have in mind?

I was just wondering if population would be a variable. Anyways, I was thinking if I could be situated in the two islands in southeast of Faxanavia...the one that kinna looks like New Zealand.

OK, why not. I was kind of hoping it would be two nations on those islands but I don't see why not.

Keep in mind the scale is 1 pixel = 10 square km

Thanks

Megalithon and Neo-Great Russia, you're both approved. I'll TG you the password ASAP. Uiri, as the map maker don't feel the need to consult me on map descisions- I leave them up to you.

OK, Faxanavia duly noted. IRC channel is up and running btw.

Right. IRC is up and running, for all members of Rodinia. You can find the IRC information over on the boards.

Bump for interest.

I am interested in one of the islands in the south, more exactly the middle one (since Megalithon asked for the south-east ones), but I would like
-to make it look like this (http://www.revterr.bravehost.com/geography.htm): (sorry for the horrible graphics), instead of that potato-shaped thing
-to move it a little to the south, (not much, just enough so that it will be the southern most piece of land -don't laugh, is for RP touristic purposes).
-since the level of technology was not stated, I think is normal to ask that I would like to keep some "near future" stuff that I have:
*jetpack is a standard equipment for enforcers-paramedics-troopers;
*I can launch and I have launched satellites;
*if you remember reading about that idea of launching a satellite in orbit to receive energy from the sun and to send it back to Earth as a laser/microwave beam, to fulfill the energy requirements? I RPed the whole process, and I cannot get rid of it.

I know that there is a lot of "I want" in this post, but I actually think that you would want to know this from the start, rather then finding later. If "near future" is not what you had in mind, I understand.

That being said,
Full Name of Nation:The RevTerran Alliance

I can make it further south, I can give you that island but I will not change it into a tota- well, my island is a perfect circle so who am I to complain, but still. Volcanoes are circular by nature. I may change it but not to such a rigid shape.

Actually the level of technology was stated. If you had read the title you would know it is MT. I apologize if you are new to nationstates and do not know what that means. Here is a quick run down...

PT = Past tech
MT = Modern Tech
PMT = Post-Modern Tech
NFT = Near-future Tech
FT = Future Tech

So, no, near-future isn't what we had in mind but I'm sure you can have satellited which take pictures and what not. Although I'd think it better to check with Faxanavia before usin any of it in our region.

Not that it matter, but my join date says otherwise about my presence on the NS :D Still, I admit having a problem with the definition of MT, since most (well, rather everything) i ask for is demonstrated as being possible, albeit expensive (Yes, I know, that applies to Star Trek too.... )

Hence, the "up front" approach: your world, your rules. :)

OK, do you want the island in that bay thing in what looks like an upside down australia or the one which is just below that land bridge type thing?

I think I'm gonna take the bigger, below-the-landmass one, since, by bringing it more to the south, it would make it somehow isolated, which would better fit RevTerr's profile.
Thank you
:)

Map updated. Any changes you request will be done at the next update when I find the time.

Revterr, I've taken a look at your requirements. Besides the jetpack bit, it looks okay. If you're willing to do away with that, then you're approved. I'll TG you the password.

Faxanavia watch out. In a couple posts you'll have a 1337 post count. Try to preserve it ;) Oh, and I used that seal maker. Here's my new seal:

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/Uiri/seal.gif

Oh, yeah, I'm on IRC.

Looks nice. Also, I plan to note whichever lucky post gets number LEET with an edit.

I am sorry, Faxanavia, but I cannot get them out, my internal affairs are conducted around the fast time response of JetPackers, either Enforcers, Paramedics or Firefighters.
Thanking you and Uiri for the chance, I'm pulling off. Happy gaming!

Well, if that's how you feel, then your welcome and good day.

I'm glad to hear it...now the only thing is, we need more nations...

and o yeah, one question..does the size of the population in the region affect the size of a nation?

We definetly need more nations to come and join our incredible and great and awesome region. [/advertising]

To tell you the truth, I don't know. I don't belive so, but its possible.

So do i have a size limit? cause that would affect by desired spot in the region

Depends on what you propose. Don't, for example, take up a quarter of the map. The best thing to do would be to draw your proposal onto the map, and send it to Uiri, who's the regional map maker in charge. He'll give you the all clear.

ill keep that in mind next time:)

Just a heads up- major update to the look of the map is coming soon, so be prepared.

New map is coming soon, just as soon as Megalithon finishes up his edits to it. Its now gone around three people.

i got a quick question...what doe II mean? I just noticed it in the title. And as for the map I've decided to eliminate the colors distinguishing the nations. So you'll just see the nation name and the border lines. I think it shows more of the geography. Are you guys cool with that?

It stands for International Incidents.
As for the map, that sounds good. Just post it whenever your finished, and we'll have a look at it.

A new map is finally up. After three of us working on it non-stop, we've got new geography, and a new political and geographical map. Thanks to Uiri, Megalithon, and of course myself. It'll be up as soon as Uiri can edit his post...

The all new political map is up!

uhhh...yeah.

Dunno if you noticed but it's been up since about 50 minutes after your last post last night.

I think Great Neo-Russia is dying and that besides you and I, and perhaps Megalithon (perhaps), everyone has lost interest in the Gourmondinia civil war thread.

Sorry about that. I just realized it now...
True. GNR seems to have lost interest, I guess. We need to get more interest in the region... As for the Gourmondinian civil war, if Megalithon got that trojan horse bit going, we'd be up and running again.

Only it would be you v. Rebels, Meg and I. I don't think Gourmondinia as you know it would last very long. Unless you can survive Op: Trojan Horse than there is know way for you to win, pretty much because now there is the Gourmondinia canal and that means that you must cross the canal and Uiri would probably land 5 km away from the canal on the west side and close the gap because before there was no canal.

EDIT: Maybe we should discuss this on IRC?

So Uiri, when u posting that geographical map?

We's got ourselves two new members- Miamoria and Talentay. Big hand for them.
