RE: The rest of Pacifica? - Qwert - 08-20-2018
Those are some good design suggestions, @Dillguy9
Are there others that have other ideas or suggestions too?
RE: The rest of Pacifica? - Dillguy9 - 08-20-2018
Thanks @Qwert
And people, please express your thoughts on this! I would like to see a full map of Pacifica in the next three months!

I have to oppose any measures to add any new continents. This is a TSP-only RP, and the canon should be TSP-only. I will vehemently ignore anything of the sort.
Besides, it will be extremely illogical. How do we not know of these continents in such modern era? Some nations even have space programmes. How is it possible that we do not hear a peep in what is supposed to be an increasingly-globalized world?
Besides my plot's size would be dramatically reduced.

How do you mean it wouldn't be "TSP-only" if we add more land?

I agree it wouldn't make sense to have unexplored land with all modern technology. There are several suggestions that don't treat the new continents as recently discovered.
The same logic can be applied to unclaimed plots. How can there be nations that we don't know about and never interact with?

There are no suggestions to reduce the size of the current continents or any of the plots. There are mainly two suggestions how to add more land so far: either to just add land where there is none (outside the current regional map), or to "supersize" the current continents.

Easy: supersize it to Earth standards. We need no new continents.

That would be a practical solution. On the other hand it would mean most nations get totally different climates.
RE: The rest of Pacifica? - GI-Land - 08-21-2018
Tbh exactly that would be interesting, I think.
Also I think most nations do not really roleplay with their given climate/biome anyway, so I assume the ones that want to stay in their current climate, will still say anyway, they are tropic or whatever, while maybe others finally get the climate they want to have or just don't care about it really like right now.

I, for one, cannot wait to finally get snow

I think many really do RP with their given climate.

Concerning the "How did we not know about it until now" argument, it is quite flawed.
TSP-RP has been integrating new players to past histories ever since it started, and there's always an explanation as to why there's suddenly a neighbor next to me. As a result, if we want to expand, we can greatly do so, and we can RP on these continents and how they linked to ours
