It's Been Nearly a CENTURY Past... My Word, What Have We Learned?

It just now hit me, ironically after watching of all things a Peanuts special, where Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Snoopy, and Linus are in France, that we are only three, four years awat from the CENTENNIAL of the War that Did Not End All Wars... and, after reciting "In Flander's Fields" Linus asked the question that now is stuck in my mind- What Have We Learned? A century later... how it still affects us... how does it affect you?

I have a problem with my computer. Help?

I have a game i was trying to uninstall. Well it would'nt let me uninstall. Not know much about computers i figured if i deleted all the files of the game it would be off my hardrive and i could reinstall it. Well i deleted the uninstall option.I cant even find a trace of the game. When i put the game in my computer it wont let me play (because i deleted all the files), and won't let me uninstall because i deleted that too. does anyone know how to get it off my computer?

Obiwanobiwan does NOTE HATE GERMANS!!!

I am of that line being taken out of context, especially as my family is FROM GErmany, I merely said there is somewhat for some people of a negative stereotype for Germans being Nazis or all ruthless or whatever following the Wars, I said it was negative, I don't hold the view- so STOP CALING ME A RACIST! (I don't like being accused of something I'm not!)

Developing a Variant- Place names wanted!

Figle and I have been working on a variant on diplomacy for about a month now. Its a pure fantasy map designed to try to make the gameplay good, and as a consequence, we need to come up with some names for provinces. See inside...

Anyway, we thought that the best way to come up with them would be, in addition to our own efforts, to ask you guys to come up with some names.

We've designed the map to look plausible as an actual map of a bit of earth at some stage. We'd like some equally probable names of places.

It would be great if you guys could provide some, preferably separated into different origins:

Hispanic / Spanish Colonial
French / French Colonial
English / English Colonial
Turkish
Germanic
Scandinavian
Italian
Russian
Middle-Eastern
Sub-Continental
African
Oriental

etc.

So if you could just copy the list of the person before you (I know that this spells trouble) and add your suggestions on, hopefully we will get enough.

Note: we need seas, cities, countryside provinces/ counties and a couple of deserts too.

Laurentia

Khazakstania
Baltica
Cimmeria
Pannotia

How many place names are you looking for? How many players? How soon before I can get in on a beta :-)

TheGhostmaker (1545 )
06 Apr 10 UTC

We decided to stick with 7 countries and 34 centres :).

There are about 100 provinces I guess, I'd estimate 2:1 ratio of land to sea.

I'm looking for loads of place names so that we get the chance to pick and choose though.

What about some Canadian native names.

Here is a web page that lists many Canadian place names and their native origin

In addition to this list you can use
Mattawa
Wawa
Kazabazua

It'd be great if we had a map to consider. But until then....

English Colonial- Choose an American Territory. Carolina, Maryland, Virginia etc.
Scandinavian-Normandy?
Germanic- England? France?
Italian- Lombardia, Venezia, Toscana, Lazio, Calabria, Puglia, Sicilia, Sardegna, etc

Just a few questions

Will the variant be used on Webdip? Do you two have a map up anywhere yet? Will you be using the site as your guinea pig for playtesting?

Oh, and I always thought Caledon was a cool place name.

"Will the variant be used on Webdip?"

Don't know yet, we need to present the finished map to Kestas

"Do you two have a map up anywhere yet?"

I've got a draft map and have show drafts at various stages to kestas, anlari, Chrispminis and sleepcap. You'll get to see it when its ready for testing :)

Will you be using the site as your guinea pig for playtesting?"

I've contacted Sleepcap, who runs a fork site, which will hopefully play host to it.

TheGhostmaker (1545 )
07 Apr 10 UTC

If all goes well, we might get to port it to webdip proper.

Triskelli (146 )
07 Apr 10 UTC

I'm sure we'd all love to see it, God (or whatever deity of your choice) willing.

Triskelli (146 )
07 Apr 10 UTC

Will there be any special rules or tricks in the variant, or is it simply basic rules?

Stukus (2126 )
07 Apr 10 UTC

I'd be interested in seeing how the oceans turns out. Whether they'll be a rim, like in classic, a center, like in Ancient Med, or all over, like in World. I think it really affects the game a lot.

Triskelli (146 )
07 Apr 10 UTC

True, but that depends. Is this variant based on a continent or on an entire world?

Chrispminis (916 )
07 Apr 10 UTC

Oh are we keeping the map a secret for now? I really want to answer Stukus. =P

My contribution, five Norse-ish and five Turk-ish, sort of picked so that the natural three letter abbreviation is unlikely to clash with others. No guarantees.

I also second Pannotia for the simple reason that my last name is Pan and it would be cool if a region had Pan as its three letter abbreviation. =P
