Why don't we just vote for it?

It's pretty much already been voted for, and at least two of us are highly opposed to Random Events to the point that it's not worth the trouble.

[Darkraven]

By the way, the guy who made Isbis still isn't around... I feel that he should be left out considering that it's been more than a week.

Alright then. Anyways, to anyone's nation that isn't by me is Neutral (that doesn't count Palmydia, Imperium, Naqha, and Dominion). I got something for these nations :)

Sorry about the slow response, family emergency. You know how it goes.Obviously, if random events do happen (Note the if. I havent decided yet) they will have logic. You won't have floods in deserts or droughts in rainforests and the like.And by Random Events, I mean small but important issues like "Tapira has had a poor harvest" or "Workers in Arakion have descovered a small deposit of sapphires", as well as the obvious "A scout has spotted a small group of marauders" and "High winds make the port at Niraph temporarily unusable"I won't have anything that wrecks your nation. It's not the the Khangate will be lost to a massive flood, or the Dominion will be sacked by savages. Just little things that can help or harm you. I am considering leaving RE out considering the amount of people sayibg they'd rather not have them though. I have a feeling the IC will be up before it is decided...Yes, but that means that a Wildling Encampment needs to be in raiding distance. Also, Wildlings have a natural dislike of males - whilst the Valkyries certainly won't slaughter and enslave them like a normal Wildling, they will certainly show disdain and disrespect to them.Yes, of course.It's small for practical reasons. We don't want invites to parties and meetings, then have to spend months getting there.The "7 day" thing is assuming the horse travels at 48km/h without stop or fluctuation in speed. 48 x 24 is 1152, which times by 7, mens we have a diameter of 8064 km. To put it into perspective, Earth has a diameter of 12,756 km. So it's not much smaller.

Do not mean to correct you, however what you solved for was not diameter, it was half circumference. If the horse was running straight through the earth, you would be right, however the horse runs along the surface which is round. True diameter would be twice the distance you solved for over pi. 8064 times 2 over pi is 5133.7 km

So much science, also where is the accepted nation sheets?

:P I was never any good at maths...

Editing them just now - End of the OP in the Nation Dump

Actually, I am somewhat amenable to the situation practical considerations have put me in vis-a-vis the map. There is no line you can cross that before you do, they do nor care but after you do, they kill you. There is just an area that you are very likely to get killed in, with no sharp lines.

I'm sorry, you've lost me. Could you explain?

[HounderHowl]

What's missing on my nation????

[So Boerd]

There are no borders. The closer you get to the approximate area that they live in, the more likely you get killed. But there is no line you can stand on one side of and be fine but on the other, be killed.

As I said, I'm in the process of editing it. You'll be up there soon enough.

Danke. That makes much more sense.

For most cases, borders would represent the extent of immediate influence a nation has on the region. So for instance the border for the Dominion would be the extent of the forest, not so much the extent of the actual nation since it would have no borders otherwise. Same for the barbarians, in that any border on the map for them would be representing the extent of their physical influence. Of course, it would help immensely if you would illustrate this for everyone else.

[So Boerd]

I don't follow. Not sure what physical influence means in this context.

I think Alf (Male/Female?) is saying that that is the limit of the nation.

For example, French influence in Belgium doesn't end at the borders, but there is a definate "this is France, this is Belgium" border.

Physical influence as in the extent of what could be their area of operations in a sense, obviously AoO is a more modern term, but it's fitting. Sort of like putting a border on the lands the Huns controlled at their height, in that it wasn't really "the" lands they controlled, but more or less the extent of their influence as far as we could tell.

[So Boerd]

Well that is a problem, because as a raiding culture they frequently operate in other lands. Werhner has already OK'd Suehan operations in Crayven lands, so that is overlap.

[TheSovereignGrave]

I think it's more along the area they 'control'. The Vikings raided France, Britain, and even into the Mediterranean but if you were to draw the border of the land controlled by Vikings you wouldn't include France (for the most part), all of Britain, or any of the Mediterranean Sea. The Magyars raided all the way into Spain, but if you gave them borders they wouldn't control all of central Europe.

That may be true, however they would still have to have a homeland to conduct these raids from, which is where you would draw your borders around.

[HazmatMedic]

Basically, the border is the land that is indisputably yours. Your homeland and your occupied territories but NOT your raiding grounds. Is that about it, Alf?

Pretty much what I'm getting at.

[HazmatMedic]

New Accepted Nations are up. If you don't know why you aren't there, ask.
