Ummm... hi. Well, I've been lurking here for some time, and I've been thinking about joining an NES. Since I'm not sure whether I should start a thread for this, I'm posting this here. If I want to join, should I join an NES in full swing or one that's starting?
You can choose either. The best idea is to choose one that interests you. The period, the story, the rules, the other players should influence you.Ummm... hi.

There are lots of NPC Nations available in LINESII. That NES is in the Imperial Age/Early Medieval Age right now. There's a link in my signature.Ummm... hi.

For other NESes, I would recommend N3S and BirdNES. Luckymoose has a great NES too, though it is paused until his hard drive gets repaired.
Why?

Spoiler Out of thread topic--really, don't open it if you're not Abaddon :Here, the same pic in three different formats (PNG, GIF, and JPEG), all of a slightly lower quality (though JPEG is really the only real horrible one):
See? The filesize of the three pics combined is lower than the original, without any appreciable decrease in quality (except, of course, with the JPEG one--I hate JPEG, but it can get the smallest filesize of pics with sufficient sacrifice in quality).
I suggest that you get Paint.NET if you have the .NET framework already (or are willing to get it) or GIMP--or something else similar, but the latter is quite popular and the former is what I use--if only to prevent future acts of apparent hostility against those who have dial-up or slower.
Of course, there are additional steps you can take in consideration of others, like bringing your pics to site like this one (it really just reduces the number of colors, which you can readily do with the picture-editors).
A bit off-topic in this off-topic thing, decreasing the filesize of watercolor-type pics shouldn't be a problem at all.
Did you never upload the whole thing?
Perhaps we could go from the map we already have (cradle) an over the next few months, in the background you can be expanding it. It seems BJ is making the map as he goes along...
Actually, North King made the entire map before the NES started. However, I did that for LINESII, though after Update 6 I decided to make the rest of the world all at once.Did you never upload the whole thing?

I'm referring to BirdNES, actually.
NK's work is always so excellent, that I hoped for a long time that he would finish my map, but it has never been a 'point of friction' for me.Actually, I didn't finish Bird's map, either. It's been a point of friction. I'm very good at doing 1/10th of a map.
