While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[North King]

hell for humans.

Only parts of it, to be honest. The interior would be awful, but the coasts would be fairly nice.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

The Yukon would be quite pleasant.

Also keep in mind that, during the time of Pangaea, many mountain ranges were still unformed, or did not yet exist.

Here are two reasonable possibilities.

 

[Angst]

Does anyone have a high-res NES-ish map of Pangaea?

This style could work too:

 

[Daedwartin]

The reason why it's hell: Siberia. Not frozen, there are no ice caps anyways, but volcanic...super-volcanic. It was erupting pretty much the whole time Pangaea existed. It, combined with potentially a impact somewhere else, another super-volcano also erupting(both were of the giant pool of lava and magma covers large area...and whats left of the Siberian eruption after 250 million years of erosion covers about a 4th-3rd of Russia. think about that), global warming of a already warmer world on steroids, the oceans dying because of lack of oxygen, bacteria becoming dominant in the ocean that spewed extremely potent greenhouse gases( in two ways: very effective at being greenhouse gases and well...the planet smells like a rotten egg), the planet suffered the largest mass extinction ever. It took so long for life to recover that it got hit by another mass extinction pretty the same time they did.

They dont call it the Great Dying for nothing.

This is the official beginning of the protest campaign to demand a preview thread for BombNES.

You could always come on #nes. We've been talking about the NES all evening.

 

[Terrance888]

I say we boycott BombNES until BombNES is posted!

Waitasec...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Don't worry Daed, I was very careful to pick maps from Triassic Pangaea, rather than Permian Pangaea. No Siberian Traps for us!

 

[Terrance888]

Just a reminder. #nesdnd will start in 9 hours or so and will end in 12 hours from this point in time. I currently have 4 players, which is 1 less than the minimum set earlier.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I thought it was a bit later... I do not get home from work until 6 PM Pacific time.

 

[Terrance888]

And I have no idea whatsoever how to convert that, so I'm assuming that means you're out.

I'll move start time back 2 hours then. It'll start in 7 and a half hours.

 

[Angst]

7 and a half? Then it starts 1 am where I am? It's fine ofc.

 

[Terrance888]

Sorry LJ. It angsts me to have to coordinate players on opposite sides of the world.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

Hmm. I could possibly join, if you're short players.

 

[Terrance888]

I have 13 players. It's just that they're all/mostly slackers.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

Okay.

 

[Angst]

Uh, Terrance... I think I miscalculated. #nesdnd is at 03:00 for me if I understand this post correctly: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=12497684&postcount=5751

I can't start 3 AM if that's the time. It's too late.

I'm currently idling a bit on #nes to pick you up, chat me up there.

 

[Terrance888]

Sorry Angst. I guess I can't really have you and Iggy together on a weekday. Iggy, when do you get off work on the Weekends?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I... don't work a job with consistent weekends. I am off this coming weekend (8th and 9th), Thursday the 13th, Tuesday the 18th, and Saturday the 22nd, for the immediate future.

 

[Angst]

That's just the way it is.

Hope it went well.
