SDNWorld Redux - Casting Call & Planning MK II
A little experiment for you guys who want RAR realism
This is how the world would look like if we kept the land areas, but made the total world size earth-like. White stuff are the polar caps, and yeah, they're probably too big.
So...do you want the HEUGE world (I can throw in an Untamed Continent if you like) or the small (roughly 1/4 of Earth) unrealistic world?

JULY 20TH 1969 - The day the entire world was looking up
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

I could re-arrange them, but that means we get 4x as much land area. Every single one of us.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Can we make our countries and continents also HUEG?
That in turn means a population density of Sweden everywhere
EDIT: For the record, the ocean between the OC and MESSamerica is how wide the real atlantic ocean is. Yes, the Earth is that huge.

Hrm.... fuck it. Let's stick with what we've got. Screw details, chalk it up to gameplay mechanics or some shit.

I mean, we have stuff like B-1s, B-52s, and big-deck nuclear supercarriers. Might as well have a world where they're useful.
Plus the travel time and such means that things can't get too global too quickly, which provides a buffer for those not religiously following this thing every day.

"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

I like the HUEG EARTH idea, because now just building a squadron of strategic bombers doesn't give anyone all-global reach. There's limits to unrefueled range; a place where one can conceivably park that's out of reach of anyone else. With a small word, even a modest strategic bomber force can be a trump card.
I say... another continent, maybe with some vague NPCs that can be handed over should more folks decide to join. Or even an archipelago, a sunken continent with the mountaintops poking out, the rest of it anywhere from several to a hundred feet below.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

I agree, keep huge world, put Frequesue east of Old Continent, maybe another continent west of Shep/OD Continent, and some large archipelagos with Third World Nation NPCs and such.

I am with Coyote on this one, although if we're going with 'big earth' I'd say we might want to dump a few wilderness continents in there. Still, I rather like the world as a big place -- not in the least place because it means there's a fair distance between me and all you crazy people .Coyote wrote:I like the HUEG EARTH idea, because now just building a squadron of strategic bombers doesn't give anyone all-global reach.

EDIT:
Frequesue was intended to be west of the Old Continent, and a fair bit down (Northern Frequesue is tropical or subtropical, with the south being temperate). There's plenty of sea west of the OC for it to fit, too.Steve wrote:I agree, keep huge world, put Frequesue east of Old Continent, maybe another continent west of Shep/OD Continent, and some large archipelagos with Third World Nation NPCs and such.

Well, I can arrange all the island nations who want to be away from Shep and Skimmer in an archipelago, in a way that would suggest a gigantic sunken continent, maybe taken out by an asteroid strike in the distant past.
I will spam little islands around it, and thus we'll have a lot of Indiana Jones style story potential amongst them
Plus, I'll place a huge Untamed Continent full of savage native tribes who had very limited contact with civilized men.
Shep can then bomb them or something.

I have found that when Marina is about, it is always best to keep a portion of your soul in a magic jar somewhere, just in case you need it to regenerate your life force at some point after an "object lesson" or two has been delivered.
