[OOC] The Restless Fires

[TheSovereignGrave]

Mine is coming along. May be a bit slow going, but I'm making sure that I get at least something down every day. And so far it's coming along quite nicely.

[Goldeagle1221]

Woo! That's good to hear.

@Goldeagle1221

I was wondering, could I have something akin to balloons? Nothing big enough to carry multiple people but used to haul cargo? I was thinking of having them being tethered to moose and having long moose caravan trains, would that be acceptable?

I mean, the science behind buoyancy and floating has been around since Archimedes, so I thought why not. If you're not too thrilled with the idea, consider it scrapped.

@Voltus_Ventus

1) you posted this in the character tab

2) wouldn't floating balloons tethered to moose be ill advised and the opposite of pragmatic, as just simply applying a wagon would be more cost effective and efficient? Not to mention if the moose walks under a tree branch. Also the cargo would have to be around half the weight of the moose as opposed to a larger quantity if it was in a wheeled cart, then there is the issue of getting the goods back down safely.

1) Shit! I'm so sorry! I was reading a CS when the idea came to me.

2) *picks up debris of shot down idea* You make good points, idea scrapped.

@Voltus_Ventus

It's all good, sorry if I was too harsh.

[Drunken Conquistador]

I have some tentative interest in this. Let me read the OP and work out a nation concept

[Goldeagle1221]

Yay!

I'm hoping to see a few finished or good enough sheets by Monday, then we can start setting dates for when to get this ball rolling! How is everyone doing, everyone is still interested, correct?

[Sigma]

Still interested of course! :)

[BilboTheGreat]

Just need to finish economy.

[Cleopatra]

Wrapping up internal set up of my country and reaching out for trade deals. Good to go otherwise.

[The Nexerus]

Still interested and still working on my sheet. Stalled at the sections regarding population, and everything else vaguely statistical. Never know the right scale for these things.

@The Nexerus

Fair enough, without a proper scale it is hard to do population. For scale references, Bilbo's claim holds 2+million in a semi to urban fashion, while Sigma's nomads number around 1/2 million. I don't know if that will help at all. After the sheets come in I'm going to get a good idea of the scales of where peole are aiming and adjust them around that I think. The military numbers will be higher than Brimstone's if you're a Brimstone veteran. Isotope advised not making a military pop formula this time around and instead letting the players find their range so I'm trying that. Er, let me know if I could do anything differently.

[Slamurai]

Once I come home from family's later today, I can resume my work on my sheet.

[Combo move]

I'm interested in this.
Ill see about getting a sheet up.

[Voltus_Ventus]

@Goldeagle1221 I'd like to reserve the coniferous climate zone for my nation, don't have access to a computer so I can't really show what I had in mind as for territory.

[Sigma]

Actually, it's been claimed by Nexerus.

[Voltus_Ventus]

Actually, it's been claimed by Nexerus.

@Sigma

All of it? Because my whole motif had been "Ice Caliphate", was going to be desert but that was taken.

[BilboTheGreat]

I think all of it.

[Voltus_Ventus]

Damn. I hadn't seen the claim, my bad.
