ah indeed =/ should I change my request then?

Well, you can just request land in that area, and let the mapmaker sort out the specifics for you ^_^

If the mapmaker gave you that much land on the onset, then asking for more would be something along the lines of insulting. Have patience. You will be able to expand later on as you RP and stay here.

Cimina, you could theoretically have the land surrounding X&C, and it would therefore not be a problem. No need to change your request.

That being said, I think it's too much for a newb. I have a very large Empire, but I've been at it awhile. I started small.

I think the same goes for HCI. Be content with what you have for now. I'm still going after some of the land that I wanted back when I first started. I've gotten most of it, and some I didn't even think I wanted back then. Be persistent, and you'll eventually get all the land you want.

As for Lebowski, it's bad form to ask the new mapmaker for a request that an old mapmaker shot down. It's like asking Dad for something after your mother already said no. Doesn't work. Unless you're a cute little kid. Which seeing as you're a political roleplayer you probably aren't. So it doesn't work.

Alright, I'm going to say this once, and once only.

You do not get to landwhore on Europe, nor do you get to be oppurtunistic because the previous mapmaker left.

Lebowski: straight up NO. That is very insulting to TC and is just assinine, as well as being extremely large.

Cim: A bit too much, I'll give you part of that, and you won't get X&C, okay? (though I think it might be time soon to take X&C off the map entirely. It's beene extremely long since he's been here, if no one objects).

HCI: No. There is a reason I did not give you all that land, because it's WAY TOO BIG.

Kas: For ease of use, I'm just going to label that and your other colony "Kasnyian Empire".

I do not give massive amounts of land in Europe. Europe is not big enough for newbs to get massive amounts of land in Europe. I'm more likely to give you land based on RP reasons: like, for example, if you had a nation based on a certain RL city, I'd be happy to give you that land.

A side note to Q's rant: Please do not piss of the map maker. Remember, most of the nations here are far older and larger/stronger than you. We're talking billions in poulation, and an economy that could buy you and your family. Its highly unlikely that as a new nation you would have much land. Hell, I've got over 4 billion people myself. And you know what I got? A city. So pick a small area, and expand later. -Much- later.

As for the TC thing, I'll leave that as is. Well said.

The Mapmaker traditionally has the final say on map things. It might be wise to be nice to him and not piss him off. :lol:

You're right guys, you can't just leave it at Norightsia's statement, you should probably tell me over and over. I did not set out with the intention to insult TC in any way, I simply felt that different mapmakers have very different opinions (I've experienced 3 or 4 here on the European Continent since joining) and did not realize what a horrible huge mistake my question was. In the future, I will never cross a mapmaker for fear of lots of comments telling me I'm an asshole for bringing the topic up.

I don't think anyone insinuated that. Q may have been a little snappy when he responded to you (and misspelled asinine), but he's a bit paranoid. I know that you aren't being a dick, you just broke a rule of etiquette you didn't know existed. It should have been left at my comment, but it wasn't. Although AA's comment is good to note, Q overreacted. On behalf of the entire mod staff, I apologize.

Let this be a case study for all of us, "elite members". Don't take things overboard. If someone who was part of the secret discussion on the matter posts a reprimand concurrent with what we talked about, it can be left at that. If I fail to get the point across, I look like an idiot, instead of you.

Who said they were elite? :huh:

Anyways, this has already been taken care of. Everyone needs to vent once in a while. Lets just leave it at that.

On topic please.

So was my request approved or denied? [/sarcasm]

Cut it out. Seriously. I covered for you, man. Don't go acting like Q kneecapped you or something. It really wasn't that bad. We're all under a bit of stress, it's the end of the year. You calm down, and so will he.

Sarcasm post deleted, and as far as calming down is concerned AA and I have discussed the situation and he is aware that I have already calmed down and harbor no bad feelings.

Map updated. If I had Bohemia's land wrong, tell me (I know I didn't have it exactly, I couldn't get the exact borders. Also, I'd like a link to Bohemia's account.

Also, Saxe-Coburg will be taken off the map next update.

I think so. He's currently got some sort of slow-moving Messiah SL in the Inter-regional forum. It'd be a tragedy if we lost him again.
