While I'm still the same opinion when it comes to supersizing and the climate problem (almost 50/50 distribution of rp-ers taking into account their given climate and the ones that don't care too much), I also see e.g. Bruuma's point.
What I question myself though is, why it has to be that TSP was colonised by the potential new continents and not the other way around like it was discussed a few posts before (solution of having landmasses with plots for historical rp, but in modern times they are no active entities anymore, but just get defined as a certain nation by us all we are free to trade with and whatever, but not really rp with in our canon MODERN time rp).
I still think this is the best method, because it gives the active rp-ers room for a little colonisation history or giving them the possibility to explain that the people of their nation aren't originated on the original TSP continent, if they want it. Also with the plot system and designating it for historical rp (and maybe trade rp) ONLY we give sense to the continents without putting them into the spotlight too much.
As to Ryccia: It's highly unlikely and unrealistic our rp-planet doesn't consist of any more landmasses (except we supersize TSP), so why are you so much against new landmasses that won't affect the MT rp much? Especially why are you against it, if the common sense up until now, as far as I understood it since I founded my nation in TSP, that there are landmasses but they're just not defined currently? If that's the case, why not defining them and with that ending all future possible discussions about it while also giving way to new rp possibilities? Think about it.
