Maybe I am just a status quoist and want to keep things close to the same all over the boards and have the maps be similar.

I think it is decidedly ironic that I'd find somebody taking this position against me.

Yeah that is pretty ironic.

I don't want to implement my plan unless everybody unanimously agrees with me, since I don't want this minor issue to cause any disagreements. So for the time being I won't label the gray spaces. But we can still discuss it.

I'm against the names for the record, and when can a map update be expected, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm for it, though I see Q's point which is making me err toward the fence....

Ah well.

Moved Germany and added Russia's expansion.

Ok, I know that TC just spoke about hating expansions, but I would like to make a request. I know that I had negotiated with Unidan for Blue Light Mafian land, but the new space has opened up the land that i've been dreaming of since my first day on this forum. What I am about to propose is audacious, radical and visually stunning. My nation is the German Empire, and uses the names of German people, places and ideologies when interacting on both a domestic and international level. I would like to humbly request that my nation, in its entirety, be moved to the robin's egg blue position on the map below. It would greatly enhance the believability of my nation, as well as be the last change to Germany's map position (as in expansions) that I ever wish to make. To quote Charlie Brown, I throw myself at the mercy of the court.

What happened, this was too much land?

If you don't mind me asking, why? Surely the plot of land I had before was much bigger then what you gave me.

Coastal land more than compensates for that. Coastal land is darn valuable real estate.

But that isn't the real reason. In fact there aren't "reasons" or a "metric standard" by which land is granted. I felt that was the most appropriate plot of land, leaving plenty of unoccupied space left to allow for newcomers to get the land they want, while also allowing for plenty of RP oppertunities. Drawing country borders on the map is a rather holistic process.

What's with Europe's map looking completely messed up for the borders and such...?

It's a work in progress.

But which borders are you referring to?

We need another new mapmaker, methinks. The position must be cursed.

Well, let's see if TC maybe reconsiders his departure first. If it becomes clear that he will not be back any time soon, than yeah, we can get a replacement.

Huh. I guess this isn't the best time for me to try and grab a plot of land on the map?

In case it is, I want a plot of land, preferably in Iberia, with access to the Mediterranean and Atlantic, because you know how awesome I am. :ph43r:

I dunno if you will gain access to both bodies of water....and you have tp PM the mapmaker for a spot, so perhaps patience is in order....

You're not awesome. You'll likely not get acess to both...

And since TC left we need a new mapmaker.

I didn't get acess to both, so you won't.

Choose one or the other.

if no one minds, I'd like to do the map. If TC comes back, I'll give control back to him.

You also wanted to do the American one, right? Do you want to do both, or one or the other?

We'll probably discuss this among the mods and and make assignments soon. I'll make sure you are considered.

I offered to do the European map before Eleytheria said a European nation shouldn't do thier own continental map. So, I offered to do the American map until Esternax returns. I'd rather do the European, but wouldn't mind doing the American :P

Basically, I have free time to devote to maps, and I like maps, so I just wanna work on one, whichever it is. :P
