Working on the map update currently - but since you mentioned confusion about overlapping islands, you'll have all your claim minus Barbados, Grenada, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Hey uhh.. I think we some some discrepancies with regards to date. Please fix. (I mean how is a boat supposed to be a time machine and go back to the previous month?)

The boat is made entirely of baguettes, cheese, and white flags. It runs on wine. This borderline magical French technology has many strange qualities.

[Rectification Government]

Well, looks like we're in October now.
People should update their posts like I did.

I think we need to be more careful with how we're advancing time. For example, France, Britain, and the U.S. are about to have a conference of leaders on October 20th which will probably take many posts to RP through.

While other nations have been speeding through October in the first page. We've been seeing it from the beginning, in the first nine posts the dates used are: October 1st, 2nd, 19th, 1st, 3rd, 4th, 22nd, and 5th.

So if we're saying once somebody hits a date, we can't go back, most of October was shut off by the 3rd and 8th posts. While the rest of those early posts did a good job of staying consistently around the beginning of October.

Look, the ship I originally posted was a ship from 2013 so it time traveled a lot further than that. Wasn't paying attention to dates of ships, but rather names, went back and found a ship of the same time from the 1930s.

Yea I think we should get the OP to fix the timeline.

In my defence, I'm not France.

I think if we stopped jumping large periods of time we'd be fine. The first post is dating 1 October and then the second post, naturally, is 2 October. The third post leaps 17 days to 19 October.

Then again, we see a jump from 4th October to 22nd October, my post after the 22nd October post goes back to 5th October.

After that we move to 10th/11th October for four posts. Then it leaps to 21st and 30th October in the next post. Followed by 31st October and 4th November. Then 11th November before jumping in reverse to 20th October.

I think things can be self-solved by doing smaller jumps in time, but the main thing right now is "How do we manage a conference that will take many posts to RP through occupying one day while all players not involved in the conference will need to continue pushing into November to RP their things?"

We could just put our new posts behind spoilers. And then remove the spoilers and post them normally once the negotiations are done.

Accepted

Now about this whole date debacle I'm going to first say that I am going to limit time jumps to only a week at max anything longer than that must be approved by me. As for the whole conference thing I agree with the suggestion made by Rectification Government about the spoilers. Just make sure when you update it you telegram the other conference members or post in the OOC letting us know. Agreed?

[Danubian Peoples]

I think I'm gonna edit my post dates to more reasonable time dates. From October 22 to 5, and from November 4th to October 10. This is to account for Sudbrazil's post.

A shiny new map update, buy one get one free.

The regular, shiny map - For La Plata, "south Brazil" was very vague so I just drew a straight line across Brazil from your northernmost border. Feel free to demand a different border if you want. I could very easily draw a line that isn't straight so that it looks like a real border.

Introducing the alignment map - Presently, current alignments are based on what was stated in your applications per the different alignments people listed: Aligned, leaning, or non-aligned/neutral.

[Goldgamia]

Are you allowed to colonise unclaimed territories?

[Kannap]

Are you allowed to colonise unclaimed territories?

Not speaking as the OP because I'm not the OP, but I'd suggest you could try requesting more land in your original map claim via updating your application. Colonisation at this period in time doesn't seem plausible because nations that aren't marked on the map aren't "unclaimed territories," they're still their respective real world nations but in NPC form because nobody is playing as them.

All good, thank you. When you do the next update, can you make the border slightly more "organic" as it were, extending the line from the Eastern area to the West a bit more diagonally, taking a little more of Venezuela?
