Should Nations be allowed to expand

He made it up. Al Mastif is apparently made up of desert nomads who somehow became very numerous, thus taking up a very large area.

As for how it works: it doesn't. Move to the Corrupted Empires of Charr if you want to have endless desert nations.

Oh no you don't!
I ain't never touchin' no Charrs never again!
I'm clean, man! Honest!

As for the poll itself: wtf is this 'Apolyton Council', and why should it have any authority over whether or not a nation can claim an area of the map?

Stand tall General.

The United Good has already formally requested an expansion to accommodate our billion plus populace... The other option is to send out more missionaries to our fellow Apolyton States... There could be one about to knock on your door right now !!!

Flinx - that's true. So what do you suggest?

possible options:
- group islands together to form bigger nations (e.g. 44+184=new 44 and call somewhere else 184; 9+10=new 9 and call somewhere else 10; etc.)
- redraw the islands with a bigger area. (allow people to submit their own island map)

There are less of them though.
I actually transfered my original old map of Ceroo onto the main one. The islands ARE bigger, but there are less of them. The difference in pixels across the three territories, Ceroo, San Antonio Bay and True Colony is actually not that big (although it is over-all larger I will admit)

Plus, I will allow other people to reasonably reshape their own island and alter their coastline and incorporate the changes into the map (as stated in the map thread).

I voted yes on the poll.
(And have submitted a suggestion on the OOC: The Rules thread about how it should be handled)

[Lazerus]

The yes votes seem to be winning

[Paddy]

indeed

but what is this council in option 2 ???

[joncha]

Methinks by "Apolyton Council" Ras means us users get to vote on it (which would mean, I suppose, that this thread is a meeting of the Apolyton Council).

[Paddy]

cool, that makes sense

thanks for that

[Rasputin]

very basically the apoylton council i referred to was supposed to say apoylton court addressed here ... http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=113319

[Paddy]

thanks for that
