Telosan's Website; I hate Freewebs.

A while back, I made a website that held all the information on Telosan. It was very difficult to maintain as Freewebs doesn't have the easiest to use interface. I soon forgot about it.

Atticus stumbled upon an old thread of mine that contained a link to the website. I've decided to create a new one, as the old was so far out of date. It's also given me a chance to revive Telosan's story, which I was never happy with. It's a work in progress, but I intend to actually finish it this time.

Here it is:

http://telosan.webs.com/index.htm

Let me know what you think, as well as what should be added.

Yet to do:

Finish the Dissolution of Telosan RP and fill out the page on the site.
Make a page for each country, essentially covering the nation descriptions.
Put up a Google Earth map of each country.
Create the military for each country (Oh god, more research).

I started the counter at the number the old site left off on.

About 60 of the 69 are bots or spammers

Venetian part is almost done. Now I just need to make the maps for the republic and I can move on.

On my last website, I just posted the official region maps. I intend to do better this time around and draw it out on Google Earth, since it looks so much better. One problem though. I haven't the faintest clue how to do that. :shy: Can someone PM me with instructions?

Opinions so far?

Okay, the Venetian portion is more or less done. All that's left is the addition of my French territories when that becomes final.

Opinions please? I hate to think I'm putting effort into something no one will look at.

It's slowly coming together and I think it has the potential to be a great reference tool, but I don't understand why you don't just update the factfile you have here.

A separate website seems cooler and stands out from the long list of other nations.

Besides, If I can put just one link in my signature, I have a lot more space again.

Okay, the website has been completed up to the point that I have information and pictures to fill. The rest has to be created before it can be presented.

I'm dreading having to finally make my militaries. I've put them off for months. Does anyone have a website(s) that contain a list of all ships, aircraft, weapons, and equipment in use today? It would really make my day, maybe even month.

Since we tend to esoterically rename a lot of what exists IRL for our military lists, it might be worth it just to poke around the Resources forum.

I like Menhad's quite a bit, personally.

Nice. Problem is, the TO would never sell weapons to me.

I'll look around there, but a few RL sources would be helpful as well.

Menhad, where did you find those drawings of the aircraft? Just put into Google the aircraft name?

So, I've decided to work on Venice's political parties. I hope to put up an election thread soon. Does anyone have a suggestion for a template I can use as a guide? Maybe an election post from the forums I can use as an example?

Well Wikipedia has pretty straightforward info boxes, so you could try and utilize those. Other than that, have you scanned through the various election threads in the different continents? I've always thought election threads were pretty simple, so I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for there.

just rip the ideas. I don't care, or base it off of the Order's military thread

As for your third question, use wikipedia, its great.

ATTENTION!

No one go to my website for the next few days please. I have found out that it is the source of my recent computer problems. The site is currently hosting a virus through one of the pictures I've put on the site. I will be sorting through the site and moving everything to a MSWord document, deleting the site, and starting over. I hope to find the source picture through this process as well.

Yep. It should be fine by now. I copied everything to a MSWord document and deleted the site. It's back up now, with the same web address since I deleted the original.

The one picture that was hosting the virus was in a section of the site that I haven't even revealed yet, so no one's computer, save for mine, could've been damaged by it.

Regardless, I would suggest everyone who viewed the site in the week or so before my previous post scan their computers for viruses.

I did as soon as you posted the warning. Excellent handling of the situation though, Telo. Kudos and thanks.

New information has been added to Venice's factbook. I've updated a few numbers and made a section titled "Social Classes" that also details the nobles of the country. Their patriarchs will become prominent characters in my RPs. I'm also thinking of changing Nicolau Celeste's (the High General of the LFN and commander in chief of the Venetian Army) last name to one of these houses and making him the patriarch.

So, I have all this information on Venice and most of it is lumped onto the same page, the factbook. I have little to no information on the other two nations and can't find a way to stay interested when working on them. I was wondering if I should make a separate site for Venice and leaving this one with the other 2 countries and a very brief summary of Venice. Since the information is already written, it shouldn't be difficult. Thoughts? Am I being far too obsessive?

IMO, honestly, yes. But the decision is yours. Looking over some of the info you've added, I've been motivated to update and add a few things to my own factfile. I like detail as well (please see my factfile) but I believe there is a point where there is simply too much information.

I transferred all the information on Venice to another site and updated some of the info. I still have to move the maps over because I'm still updating them, but otherwise it's done.

There will be a new page on it once the Secrets of the Evangelist thread is completed and I can reveal the details of the upcoming Order of Saint Mark.

I fleshed out the government a little bit. I put it together out of boredom sometime around midnight yesterday after 2 or 3 days of no sleep, so it might not be coherent.
