Since I'm too lazy to write a post, I'll use viperhawkz's post from Map Continuation 2016 in the alternatehistory forums. Some rules have been adjusted.
It has been many moons since the last Map Continuation - as far as I can tell, anyway - and since I remember enjoying them, I've decided to attempt to get the ball rolling again.
So begins Map Continuation [IV].
RULES:
- To take a turn, you must first make a claim. You may not post a map in the same post where you make a claim. You also may not post a map until the claims ahead of you have all been posted.
- When it is your turn, make sure you are up to date on all previous turns. Pay attention. We don't want people arguing because they both drew a country overlapping the same land.
- Only one country per turn.
- If a person doesn't do their turn after 24 hours has passed from the previous turn, then that person will be skipped.
- Borders you draw must be one pixel thick, and should be #363636 (a dark gray, close to black).
- You can only draw in the white areas. Do not draw in the gray, that's out of bounds. Do not draw over couthat have already been added to the map.
GUIDELINES:
• Avoid space-filling empires. Having a continent blobbed over with just a couple of countries does not an interesting map make.
• Try not to make anything too absurd. Strict plausibility is probably going out the window fairly quickly, but that's no excuse for having the Iroquois colonize China.
• Respect the PoD, and keep butterflies in mind. If the world diverged in the Middle Ages, plopping down a Pharaonic Egypt would be highly suspect at best. Likewise, keep in mind that things like socialism/communism and fascism will probably have different names if they exist at all.
Also when you post your turn, please post the claim list to make sure that the order does not go out of balance.
Our PoD will be somewhere around the colonial era. Major colonial powers will be different from OTL (The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, etc.), or it can have no major colonial powers at all. The "current" year will be the 1860 - older settler colonies have gained independence or semi-independence, but colonialism is still strong.
