Distinguishing/unique feature of AN or its User - Mk. II

Postby Garden at 6th Mile Road » Mon Jun 12, 2023 6:37 am

Hello, and welcome to yet another F7 thread! So this one will be mostly OOC, with you telling the AN or its user on what makes them unique.

That is, you know how someone can tell whose puppet you are, or what your main nation is, all from looking at some features of your nations that no one else really seem to have. You can also talk about the nation itself, on certain features that it has (e.g. mine would be the long names that gave away that it's me, Valentine Z).

The first thread was quite a success, which I thought would never happen, but hey, here we are! Since 2018... a lot of memories, huh?




As usual, the standard forum rules apply, respect the ninjas, and with that, let the games begin (and hopefully do not get autopruned). Added a little more leeway into it, so that it will be easier on those nations that you don't know who it belongs to, but has its own character.

- The many different planets and systems that are written with a lot of good details, and that the planets are not just copy-paste of one another.
- The travel guide to the HDI, which is also unique in the sense that normally, not a lot of multi-planet worlds bother with this, so it's good to see another nation so welcoming of visitors. On top of that, the psi-corps are a little bit of an ICly worry though, since I mean... everyone has had intrusive thoughts before, so what about those folks who have had those thoughts but never acted upon them? ^^;
- I love the detail about the industries and the working conditions. Which, again, is usually not written upon by most nations - both big and small. So this is one of those things that I love seeing a glimpse of, because as I said before, these are the small little details that gives breathe to your nation. ♥ The part about media being limited and most of it being imported, for example. Sure, other big empires might have done it too, but to me so far, you are the first to write it in a factbook.

Dragons are common in flags, but the Shieldstani flag is very distinct to me for some reason, even only having been introduced to it a little ago. They have their own set of alphabet characters, which is always interesting to see.

There are plenty of things from AN beside its flag (which is....unique in itself), as they have many dispatches to know things from, such as the script (or abjad?) used in there, what kind of faith is prevalent there, etc. Well, a theocratic nation being mainly populated by reptilians is also a unique concept in itself. Not sure if my memory deceives me or not, but that kind of concept is the first thing I've ever seen there.

Hmm. To be honest their flag is pretty....remarkable, though, I would say their sig is what makes them stand out more to me. I have no idea about what "Bone books" are, and....yeah, "gas powered chainsaws to provide air" is probably a joke, but it makes my mind went to somewhere I have no idea of late in the night, so yeah.

Their anthem factbook has detailed information on how it was created and by whom, includes an audio sample, and is generally very well done in comparison to other anthem factbooks which only have the lyrics in them.

They have an excellent factbook that gives interesting details without delving into walls of text or requiring fanciful "website-style" layouts. The list of parties also includes neat flags for each party and a nice map. We could take some inspiration from their style of factbooks.

Also, they have lots of WA endorsements.

They're distinguish because instead of a flag they have a keyboard.
