Interesting RPG Idea

[DarkCloud]

Perhaps we could steal some ideas form these guys:

http://theheartlandregion.com/

and their website- it looks well done and good for RPGing...

also, their map is more realistic than ours

[Giovanni Wine]

LOL

It looks like a very good website, and they surely are very well organized.

Anyone willing to do such a thing?

I'll put my voice out there as willing to help with such a site- if people are willing to submit things- but I'd rather not run it myself (space considertaions and all)

I do a lot of HTML design however and could create a pretty nice-looking site

[Drogue]

Sounds good, I'll help however I can.

[Giovanni Wine]

All that I can do from my side is providing web space, I have some 50 MB free of web space if they are needed.

But it is an Italian server, so all things are written in Italian (but it is very intuitive so there should not be any problem)

But that's pretty much all what I can do.

I'd be willing to get back in the RPG stuff if something like this was gonna happen. Just as long as you don't expect me to say too much.

I'm not able to do a lot of web designing and whatnot, but I could try and do maps (such as I can) and also creative writing.

[DarkCloud]

Okay- here's a template.

The Vital Statistics page could resemble the CIA world factbook entry pages... as for the sidebar- some quick facts about the nation would be appropriate

Hope you like the forum-esque design

That sounds really good! We'll have to work out some way to exchange files so that we don't have to upload them to our servers directly- since mine is about full

What we are going to need for the site are:
-An introduction Page talking about the region
-A history page about the region, its reps and its ideals
-The military stats page (I'll take care of this)
-Maps of every nation
-Flags of every nation (easy to get)
-Everyone to create vital statistics for their nation
-Everyone to create a sidebar statistics for their nation.

as it is; most nations should follow a basic template of the information so that it looks more professional

and if Mr. President wants he can write some tales of the nations

So... that's all that I can think that we need so far- how does the site look so far?

[Urban Ranger]

If we want to do that, we should first finish with our regional map. Theirs isn't bad, but looks bland. No variations, all countries are more or less the same size and shape. Nothing like Ethernal Ice or anything

[Mr. President]

Sounds reasonable. How do you think the map should be done? Like before, with everyone making requests? Or do we trust a map-maker to do it with minimal direction?

[Archaic]

I can provide a dedicated server and IP address for the site, along with as much disk space as necessary (We don't use all our 20GB). We'd just need to keep bandwidth to a reasonable level. I've only got 300GB/month to work with there.

and looks good as well, I'm in. meaning that I just moved my nation to Apolyton-Region.
when I can start submitting stuff?

maybe we could add some "best achievements" of our nations from UN's World Report.
for example something like: "Dominion Of Sirian Knights was listed top 1% of the world in UN's lowest crime rate
report 3 weeks ago."

Accounts had not been accessed and deleted after 7 days (or 21 if in vacation mode).
I think it happens at midnight Eastern US time (just a guess).

More space for the people of Ceroo to expand into. (Population now approaching 300 million!).

re: Cartography attempts
I do like the Heartlands' map, but I agree with the earlier comment about countries looking quite the same. Perhaps we should design a rather standard map along the same lines, allocating areas for nations, then allow each nation to choose which area they think is best- and then allowing each nation to customise their coastline and interior features to a certain degree.

Edit: my spelling is rubbish sometimes

[DarkCloud]

frankly, I think if we just shrink ours; the basic shape might be good; for example; cut out one of eternal cold's continents and do some other small modifications- and it should be good!

I don't think we'll need much more than 2-3 megabytes thank you for the offer

Andemagne- that's a good idea

Also a good idea
