Pataari OOC thread

Feel free to openly comment on any of my current or past IC actions or threads OOC, or use this thread to scheme with me outside of the PM system.

Speaking of scheming, I could use a Nation that holds a minority population of pataari people who ended up displaced from past wars. If anyone signs up for that role they will not be placed into a position in the war unless they want to. Instead, the Pataari minority is good way to have the PY on your side, but you have to have my ooc consent.

Chazaka would be willing to host a number of your people, as refugees from war/famine/whatever.

completely off the wall but your sig seems to be close to the 8 lines limit(which includes spaces)

I just recently changed up my Sig, it was brushing up against the size limit as well, all right, I'm find with your nation having a Pataari minority. I know I have not taken the opportunity to explain this exactly, but this is what roughly I imagine the pataari people look like, but I didn't see that much good images.

Mongolians/Eskimos basically?
Ulanpataar

Essentially, for the basis of alot of the vocabulary for the language I used Inuktitut.

*wonders how Eskimos would hold up in the tropics..*
Sure we can find some open land for them to settle that should fit them just fine.

Fatatatutti has refugees from all over. Some of them are probably Pataari - though they might not like the tropical climate much.

Sure, Fatatatutti, the people probably won't like the tropics, but it beats Ulanpataar under ZaKomianist or Rebaltion occupation. It could liven up some posts "Pataari Throat Singing at the midday heat of the Coffee Plantations" just makes me laugh thinking of that.

I think the area around Carmenta (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj31/chazsapphire/CitiesChazaka.png) would be good. Its in my central plains, so its cooler than other areas and its wide and open enough that they can expand outward nearly as much as they want without hitting much else.

Closer look up of the area (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj31/chazsapphire/map1203384249.jpg), Carmenta would be 10 km south of this area though lake Iole could be a slight problem to the northeast, it floods nearly every spring.

In grass skirts and leis.... I can see outrigger canoe races with a throat-singing Survivor-type theme in the background.

Wow, that made my day.

I am thinking of just dropping my conglang and using Inuktitut. I used Dena for a while, I plan to use Inuktitut with maybe with a few alterations, even though I will have to change a decent amount of names. It'd make things interesting.
One word sentences are awesome -- qangatasuukkuvimmuuriaqalaaqtunga / ᖃᓐᒐᑕᓱᐅᒃᑯᕕᒻᒧᐅᕆᐊᖃᓚᐊᖅᑐᓐᒐ

What do you all think of that?
Chazaka
01-03-2009, 19:12
either way, I won't know a thing your saying, so whichever one makes you happy/is easier to do.

qangatasuukkuvimmuuriaqalaaqtunga / ᖃᓐᒐᑕᓱᐅᒃᑯᕕᒻᒧᐅᕆᐊᖃᓚᐊᖅᑐᓐᒐ - I’ll have to go to the airport. Heh, despite my effort on the conlang I think I will be siding with simply using Inuktitut.

Should I just consider the majority of nations have ICly voted for 'Largely ignores this event'? You can atleast try to make a break between my own posts by stating why your nation does ignore the event or something akin to that. Also I've scrapped the Inuktitut idea, the language remains to be the rough conlang that I made a while back.

huh, whats happening?
Ulanpataar

The 'Liberation' thread, I wonder how other nations would react to it. I must admit that I should give a trophy out to Techno Soviet for reading the thread, he voted a good while back before I even made the post to say that there was a poll, I think it was around Monday when I made the poll and only I made the poll thread today. Fictions has been the only person on the thread since I post it before my earlier post after fifteen minutes or so after being bumped, kind of a disappointing turnout.

*hands out the trophy*

Hmm, I know you already have two nations when you wanted one, but I thought I'd ask if I could have a Pataari ethnic enclave in southern Santheres. It's quite like Sweden and Norway, except in the southern hemisphere. I don't normally ask if I can have peoples of descents from other nations, as I've decided they're my people and I can do what I want, including assigning them other nations of origin, but an enclave would be organized enough that they are, for all intents and purposes, still Pataari and not Santherese.

So, that way, if you ever wanted to, you could have something to do within my nation. I dunno if anything would ever come up, but yes, I thought it would be interesting to have enclaves, especially since Santheres is quite usually anti-foreigner.

A pataari ethnic enclave? Even better than refugees, I fully accept such an interesting thing to incorporate into the lore and backstory of my nation, maybe through PMs we can sort out a history that partially binds us. And I could switch out one of my minority ethnicities around, by the way. You have my consent to control the enclave in any way, but if something becomes out of hand the Liberated Republic would be joyous to liberate more Pataari people.


Can't wait to get involved in any plot arc relating with the enclave.
Santheres

Alright. You've also inspired me to finally update my map, so that's now up. For your record, the enclave would be on the southern outskirts of Arpalazzo, probably around the small inlets, if not down a bit on that tiny, thin peninsula.

If you have questions or ideas about anything, feel free to PM.

You are free to have media reporters from your nation in Ulanpataar for the event, but they might get caught up in peril, I just want to add to anyone interested in that thread. Though if you bring along anything like security you need a good explanation. Could lead to interesting situations here.

The most effective way to ignore is just to ignore.

There is a difference between ignoring an event out of character and ignoring an event in character. The poll is meant to reflect in-character opinions. A nation that chooses to ignore is not necessarily controlled by a person that chooses to ignore, and I'd be nice if they even acknowledged the existence of an event rather than just simply filling in a poll.

Regardless, I'm starting off as another nation soon, due to the drastic shrinking of my motivation to continue Ulanpataar.

Filling in a poll takes a lot less effort than explaining your choice in the poll - i.e. it's a lot closer to pure ignoring.

Regardless, I'm starting off as another nation soon, due to the drastic shrinking of my motivation to continue Ulanpataar.
Here's hoping there isn't a corresponding drastic shrinkage in other nations' motivation to interact with you.

Do I still get to keep the Pataari subcolony?

ooc
Also join the club, most of my threads are lucky to get one or two pages and that many people actually posting...
Santheres

Both of you, I might suggest you try to work out an RP with a friend, or post an interest thread first and see how that goes. I'm the same way -- everything I join doesn't last and I'm almost certain it's because of what/how I RP, and by how low profile I am (my diplomacy thread got a total of one reply, for example).

Sorry about not getting in on that one thread, ... Ulan (is there something you prefer to be called?). I couldn't work out an approach to it and then I forgot about updating you on that.
Chazaka

ah sorry if that seemed if I was bitching, I guess I should have worded that better and added a few smilies...

I was trying to cheer him/her up by suggesting that some types of governments/nations/rp don't really produce much in the way of interest. For example on this account I've never gotten very far without dragging in a puppet(or pawning noobs:p) though a few of my puppets have gotten several pages worth of content. Maybe you should try to be "evil" or "right wing ish"?(that seems to get the "lefties" all revved up for several pages and is generally fun...)

Or find an interesting and unique idea, run with it for several different rp, maybe join in others and bringing it in when convenient, flesh out your ideas then do your own threads and stories and you'll be amazed...

For example on my Chazakain Account I have a multithread referenced dislike between the King and his daughter about power, I've even managed to bring in secondary characters into their little spats in different threads so eventually I can have a single thread for their final act(s) and hopefully even have some foreign involvement though lately I've kind of let it die...

Or if you'd like you could rp your little colonies reaction to the Chazaka Communist Group attack(its still in the initial stages of development, buying supplies but I'd like to eventually flesh it out fully) Actually that gives me an idea...
