Why has das forsaken us?

The number of nation recycles I've seen in the last week is embarrassing.

Should I make a new Aney Tigot in other words? hehehe

 

[Azale]

I hope an unfortunate plague of locusts visits the offenders. Followed by a series of unfortunate meteorites.

That will mean more room for my PSEUDO-TEXAS COUNTRY, THE LONE STAR KINGDOM OF SAXET!!

The kind of semi-racist undertone doesn't really help.

 

[Kraznaya]

[12:58] <%Thlayli> also I am very pleased that my words per line has gone from4.9 to 5.0
[12:58] <%Thlayli> ...I need to get a new hobby

I'm having a little problem with GIMP. I'm trying to make a mountain symbol brush that looks approximately like this : ^ . I can't figure out how to do it, and I was hoping one of you clever folks could tell me what the heck to do here.

I just select the darkened mountain area I want and control-copy, to get a mountain brush.

What about LINES?

That's the method I use for mountain drawing in LINESIII.

Uncreative people shall receive ironic punishments.

uh? what undertone?

 

[Karalysia]

You know what he means Jew.

 

[North King]

uh? what undertone?

Okay, yes, I suppose it's not really an undertone so much as an unfortunate implication.

Think about the fact that you've gone to some lengths to make an entire nation of people white -- despite the fact that this takes tremendous feats of willpower on the part of the people with no purpose except to make them white. Think about the fact that you have done this in at least... 4 NESes now? Contemplate it a little while and maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to decipher why I might say that has some racist implications.

 

[BananaLee]

But having all white people is one of the most important thing in the world!

 

[Kentharu]

I tried to have all black people in LINESII.

Then again, I'm really racist.

 

[Masada]

Yes, Bananalee we know of our racial inferiority. I guess we should all die in a corner somewhere out of the mastas way.

 

[BananaLee]

At least your people have Foreshore and Seabed being repealed.

What bothers me far more is that it's a contrived and/or anachronistic gimmick, really. Now, if it were ethnocentrism, then that would be fine; we should all try and be more ethnocentric (and in the game!), it's quite embarrassing the way we usually aren't now. But the concept of race requires some basic scientific or protoscientific zoology and ethnography, to say nothing of selective human breeding.

I tried to make people of darkness (maybe evil) and as far as I know people who live in darkness and follow it would be white rather then dark because they will have much less sunlight then others.

I am a half Moroccan and am somewhat dark skinned. It comes from no racists ideals - notice that in all those cases of white darkness loving people they also all tend to be highly accepting of outsiders and people of different ideals cultures and color...

If there is any implication is that white is dark

FYI, I am offering first choice of nation and a small bonus to whoever can fix up the maps for my NES(to be launched June 1st). You can find them in the alternate history thread.

I might have a go at it. What all does "fix up" entail?

What kind of NES be this?

 

[~Darkening~]

Hopefully for you, one without England?
