Preview Thread: TNESII - Et In Arcadia Ego

[Thlayli]

Yui, let me know what you're interested in and I'll see if I can set you up.

 

[Yui108]

Well it appears France hasn't been confirmed. Would that be possible to take? If not, maybe Vietnam or Ethiopia

 

[Thlayli]

I'm keeping France open for the moment, so you may apply, but Ethiopia seems like a very good choice if you're interested in it.

 

[North King]

You know, if you could find someone else competent enough for Flanders, I might be interested in switching to France. Nah, I'm mostly joking. Mostly.

On another note, dammit, Thlayli, come online once in a blue moon.

 

[Thlayli]

Oh well that *would* make things interesting. And I was on last night, where were you?

 

[Yui108]

Well I suppose I'm applying for France then. If not Ethiopia. I'm a fairly experienced NES player, but this would be me first great power in a signifigant NES.

 

[Thlayli]

Courtesy of the esteemed proprietors of Royal Cartography, Inc. I have your new map.

Spoiler For a Map by any other name would smell as sweet :

You're a godsend NK.

 

[North King]

With minor changes to the capitals of Vietnam and Bengal.

 

[Kraznaya]

NK, you had better be mostly joking about switching from Flanders.

Also, the capital of Vietnam at Hue perplexes me.

 

[North King]

Das had it in the middle of the country. Hue is the major city there, and a traditional Vietnamese capital.

 

[Dachs]

I think that southern Portugal isn't supposed to look like that, and das was just trying to make it look like its normal borders on the crappy map instead of trying to make it clear that it has territory across the Guadalquivir.

 

[North King]

In every other Guess-the-PoD map that I remember, das generally puts the Portuguese border back considerably.

 

[Dachs]

Fair enough. It just looks nasty.

 

[conehead234]

I see nothing wrong with Portugal's borders like that

 

[Dachs]

You're a Skins fan, you don't know anything about aesthetics.

 

[Abaddon]

Eugh, why move to that ugly map?

 

[Kraznaya]

Your anti-intellectualism is noted and disapproved of.

 

[Abaddon]

You don't have to be an git all the time you know..

My preference in maps is a stylistic point, nothing to do with "anti-intellectualism" ><

 

[Kraznaya]

No, but I can when I feel like it.

So drawing from your stylistic preferences, this map is superior, no?

 

[andis-1]

and ofc you absolutely had to dig up the oldest, most horrid map so illustrate your point?
