As proposed:
1) It's EARTH, nothing more.
2) It's an Alternative version of Earth, from another dimension? , since it's a replacement of the Real Earth.
3) It's simply Another Planet elsewhere in the Universe, probably near the Solar System, with maybe a portal toward Earth, so it would please everyone...
----
I think we should keep this open for a few days. Feel free to keep arguing though!

I would think that ''It's EARTH, nothing more. (with extra continent)'' would simply be an alternative Earth ? ...since... YOu know... Earth with strange continents isn't Real Earth after all... ?
So #1 Choice should just be : ''It's EARTH, nothing more.''
...add the ''(with extra continent)'' to #2 Choice...
Me I chose #3.

I have a proposal.
Why not have all three?
It's not that hard to do, we've got roleplays with FTL engines and freaky wormhole portal things.
We're on a planet...that some people may call "Earth"
There are nations on this planet, which will seem very familiar to a lot of people, but most of us don't go there cuz the hyoomies are weird.
Perhaps, a portal of some type..open to another Earth, so that players could have interactions with nations/continents which cannot exist on ours, or completely different nations (Like those crazy peeps on NationStates game)
And a third one, in an alternate dimension, where things took turns radically different than both 'our' Earth and Earth Prime/Other.
This way, it wouldn't interfere with the backgrounds of anyone, you could still make Coke and Pepsi jokes and have that guy who's from the Vatican but was born in South America and met this person from France and fought against Soviet spies under the guise of a Chinese-American tourist who goes to school in Indonesia... etc. etc., and we can still have absolutely nothing to do with those dirty Hyoomans from outside if we don't want to....
For the purposes of the vote, I may put three, as it's the closest to this Grand Compromise.
Because its more fun when you can be both 'really lost Jew-Vikings' and 'aliens from another planet' at the same time.

Fun yes, but a nightmare to keep track of it all.

Anyone remember this from the other post ? : (slightly Edited to be more easily understood...) -------------------------I have precisely (I like precision, you can trust me on that one  ) measured the Equator of the ''map'' and it's : -12000 Miles OR 19300 Km.I did some other measurements and...
The actual map is : 12000 Miles OR 19300 Km (Equatorial) - 11000 Miles OR 17700 Km (Meridional)...So, yes we can say that the present MAP is Half the size of the REAL PLANET EARTH... Both in Latitude and Longitude... So... between the POSSIBLE CHOICES :...One that should satisfy EVERYONE, on EVERYTHING, about EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITIES... ---Alternative Planet Earth----The MAP is the first half of the WORLD map, which means that our planet is 24000 Miles large, almost like the size of Earth... -The MAP, which is 12000 Miles by 11000 Miles... Being a Super-Continent (Pangea type), it would be the Furry part of the World... a bit like the lost continent of Atlantis, if it helps you think about this... -The second half of the MAP, which would be, by some lucky coincidence, the same size of our present map... The Human continent(s) would have to be ''geographically'' different, in order to fit into the other 12000 Miles half of our Planet... -------------------------So... If I make a resume... People like resume... Alternative Planet Earth : 24000 Miles by 22000 Miles (just double our map size and we have about the Earth Size). Alternative Planet Earth : First Half of the planet... Is our MAP... the ''mostly furry'' part of the planet. Alternative Planet Earth : Second Half of the planet... is the ''mostly Human, Earth-like'' part of the planet. -------------------------Maybe, I hope... That this will let everyone reach a common agreement about this --- Subject... If it's possible... I would like to chance by vote to Alternative Earth... ------------------------------ MAJOR IMPORTANT EDIT : nova225.deviantart.com/#/d2qtxv4 ----- (You have to download the picture to have Full Size, which is Half-size, see Note below) I made this to help and to show how the planet would look like... It's EXACTLY twice the size of the present MAP, which equal to the size of Earth... and I have kept OUR Continent in the middle for the sake of convinence... I hope people will like it. Note : Photobucket keep resizing the picture to small and DeviantArt goes on an ''infinite loop'' when trying to upload the Full picture. The picture, in the link, is half the real size, sadly. |

I hope people will check, the rest of what I said, in the previous post... there was some REAL great arguments there... Also... I'm a bit smaller than Quebec, and about the size of France |

I was thinking, why not just make the continent smaller? I don't see how, unless the size affected nation histories, it would be difficult. Then we could take out Africa or something and stick ourselves in there or something.
I just don't see any practical reason for a continent that size.

...damned...
I mesured the MAP... the one on THIS website... and it was HALF the size of Earth !
So by some SIMPLE logic... if you double the space that compose the MAP... You get the size of Earth... just fill the big blue empty space with a resized version of the Earth continents... and you have the link.
Also, ''I just don't see any practical reason for a continent that size''... i would like to remember that Earth what an Pangea Continent in his begining...
What does people want ? Earth, not Earth, Alternative Earth, Earth that is not Earth like an alternative Earth but not quite that, or another planet ?

Did anyone took 10sec to check the ''Alternative world MAP'' ? nova225.deviantart.com/#/d2qtxv4...another vote for 100% Pure Beef Earth with no compromise... Did anyone forgot that it would mean that the Furry continent WOULD NOT BE THERE ! Did anyone really thought about the available choices before they voted  Check your Globe, the one with the 100% REAL EARTH MAP... and you will see that we are NOT here...... REAL Earth = Earth, you know, the one we, Human-Only, are on presently ? (Also... If you add continents to Earth, it's not REAL 100% Earth anymore, it becomes an Alternative version of it...) Alternative Earth is just a ''fancy name'' for : It's Earth, but we managed to squeeze our continent on the MAP and add a few things like Anthropomorphic creatures, you know, like we have right now... No ? |

Seems folks are leaning towards an Earth/Alt Earth view of things at present.
And before people get bent out of shape, if there's a huge consensus for changing the scale of the continent map, I can easily do that.
Also, if people are going to be wanting to change their votes around I can repost the poll easily.

For the Alternative Earth... where our super-continent is ON the same planet as the other Earth continents, obviously... the other Earth Continents have to be resized, logically, to fit with the introduction of another super-continent...
Oh yes, we could resize OUR super-continent to be the same size as a small, tiny, insignificant continent, but why would we do that ? Islands would become microscopic and big Nations would become small...
Another thing is the fact that our super-continent would mostly occupy the ''empty'' space between the other Earth continents... empty space just being big oceans...
N.B. : People just have to remember that my ''Other Planet'' vote have been changed, more or less because I wanted to, to Alternative Earth.

Votes :
1 / 0 / 0
1 / 0 / 1
1 / 1 / 1
2 / 1 / 1
2 / 2 / 1
2 / 2 / 2 .....Really ? Are people thinking this is supposed to be a joke of some sort ? Anyways...
Technically... the ''REAL'' vote numbers are : 2 / 3 / 1 (Since I clearly said that I change my vote to Option #2)

And I talked to Anea and he was for number two as well..
He just picked number one cuz he thought that was it methinks...
After all it is labeled as "Earth" + Extra continent..
So the votes seem more like 1 4 1

So... It seems that, from those who are still doing RPs here, as far as I know, we are 6 nations... We could have a ''form'' of ''general'' ''agreement'' ? Vote being, if I believe what I heard : #1 - (It's EARTH, nothing more.) : 1 Vote #2 - (It's an Alternative version of Earth, with an extra continent and a slightly different size, nothing really major, plus other species and techs, etc...) : 4 Vote( EDIT) #3 - (Another Planet elsewhere) : 2 Vote Ok... Then this MAP : nova225.deviantart.com/#/d2qtxv4 ...if people want to, could be used as a ''GENERAL'' idea of what the complete world looks like ? Does this conclude this Epic and controversial debate on our World ? ...which name isn't clear right now, but we can guess it's Earth or Terra (other REAL name given to Earth)... |
