Because there are still concerns within the team over your application, and how well you would be able to contribute. You edit using only paint, or a form thereof, and thus have no way to create or share or use a layered image, which is how we edit the map, only exporting to png format later.Syrixia:No offense Nierr but I feel like you're avoiding me...why?
Alright; and I have figured out how to get it to be a png, by simply uploading it to the vstanced.com image hosting service. Also concerning edits, I've been able to pull off those very well, and I also do edits very quickly and promptly upload them while retaining the aforementioned conciseness on the claims I am editing.

Your application remains under discussion.
Your ignoring the fact that you can not in anyway update the layered xcf files. So anything you did the other members of the cartography staff would have to do a second time just to update the xcf file.Syrixia:Alright; and I have figured out how to get it to be a png, by simply uploading it to the vstanced.com image hosting service.

Thanks for the update, though. It's been a while so I was concerned.
I wouldn't mind that either, but it's definitely not a huge problem.Kalti:On Aurora Orb's claim, just to south of it there is text that reads 'To Lancerian'. It might just be me but I find that incredibly difficult to read when browsing the map and seeing where all the nations are. I realize the text is attached to a very small claim but would it be possible to make the text slightly bigger and easier to read?
Other than that, everything looks good...
True Sebland:May I have this please?

1.) Alunya wants us to drastically change the border of an existing landmap just so she can shap it like a cat. If she HAS to have the cat shape she can choose somewhere else.Syrixia:we must treat map in higher regard. no huge landmass edits to allowed. all hail cartography team. hail hail
Anyways, The NPTO HQ is WAY too big! It's like the UN HQ in New York. ONE BUILDING and a small surrounding area. Sweet lord, it needs MAJOR DOWNSIZING! Heck, THE DEMOCRATIC UNION'S HQ is smaller than it on the map you've made, LL! An island even that small would make the NPTO HQ's true size be like a literal needle in a haystack!
Correction, it is the region's official cat. But still, it is a cat.Nierr:It is a cat.
A cat.
A cat.Syrixia:Correction, it is the region's official cat. But still, it is a cat.Nierr:It is a cat.
A cat.
Correct, and terraformed for it.PaulWallLibertarian42:Let me guess..yours is shaped like a silly string?
That isn't really relevant. Mine was creates through terraformig and technological innovation, while Alunyas was created by a cat-worshipping people through conquest. Unless alunya is claiming that their shape just *happens* to be a cat through geographical happenstance, which I'm pretty sure they aren't, there's no strong reason to consider it an impossible or unacceptable shape.Nierr:Your nation is very small.
It is not a massive squiggle in the middle of the map.
And the number one answer is 'why isn't there a cat on your map?'Nierr:It absolutely is relevant, as it looks bizarre on the map.
Back when Alunya's claim was on the map, the number one question I got asked about it was 'why is there a cat on your map?'.
Asta, Syrixia and etc. I bring you back to the above. ^. I have no problem with adding a cat. BUT I will not drastically shift the borders of an existing landmass to do so.Lord Lore:1.) Alunya wants us to drastically change the border of an existing landmap just so she can shap it like a cat. If she HAS to have the cat shape she can choose somewhere else.
I do.Lord Lore:I have no problem with adding a cat.
And what exactly is the problem with a cat on a map? This is a fantasy map and game... It's not totally out of the realm of possibility...Nierr:I do.Lord Lore:I have no problem with adding a cat.
Because it's a terrible precedent to set. We don't allow people to have claims shaped like real life countries or anything like that, we spent the better part of two months getting your own claim right, and the map is finally in a shape where serious roleplayers from outside of gameplay are coming here to get on it (see: Kostemetsia, The Grim Reaper) and I'm going to ruin that by putting a claim in that means any time I'd show it to rpers in my attempts to get them to join TNP they'd laugh at me and us.Kalti:And what exactly is the problem with a cat on a map?
