"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. It follows that all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
- George Bernard Shaw
I am commencing with being unreasonable--more so than usual. Here is the listing as it currently stands:
- Ebro
[*]Elbe
- Daugava
- Dniester
- Godavari
[*]Guadalquivir
- Krishnu
[*]Loire
- Narmada
- Oder
- Orontes
- Po
- Sava
- Rhone
- Tagus
[*]Ussuri
- Vistula
This has been solely determined by das and North King due to the utterly pathetic turnout on the matter. The Elbe and Guadalquivir have been completed by North King. For the purposes of continuity, the Ussuri is best constructed from the borders of the modern map.
Otherwise, nothing has been done. In the equivalent time period, I have completed over ½ of Mexican cities (100 processed), South Korean cities (92 processed), Taiwanese cities (65 processed), Japanese cities (462 processed) and approximately ⅓ of American cities (277 processed). That means I have analyzed a combined total of 996 data points in the period the rest of you (North King excepted--and he is a busy man) have done jack-all, in a less efficient and more-time consuming process than is required for river plotting.
It is also the equivalent of approximately 8 to 9 average-sized rivers like those on the list, or in other words, approximately 60% of the workload currently remaining. I have not been working continuously or stringently. Doing half the work load I have, three people could have
finished in the same period of time.
Finished.
In other words, your efforts are laughable.
You are laughable. Your laziness, used to it though I have grown, is truly of vile and disgusting proportions. You make me sick. It's amazing anything gets done around here. I never, ever, want to hear anybody who even glances at this thread and this post complain that something on the scale of an
update is taking too long when apparently
nobody except one man can be bothered to spend a measly hour of their time--the time most of you probably piss away daily just refreshing the forum index--in assisting with the creation of the
definitive map for NESing.
Until such time as this situation changes, I hereby officially reject, ignore, and go so far as to
disavow the existence of any intangible and non-material suggestions or criticism of the project--if you cannot be bothered to contribute when doing so is an easier task than
shaving or
clipping your nails, then I really don't care
what you have to say, no matter how reasonable or rationed.
I'm not truly angry, I'm just seeing if mocking people gets me the results asking won't (I doubt it, hasn't worked before), but really it is quite pathetic and sad.
