I didn't realise it wasn't considered canon anymore, sorry! It's a shame, I loved the idea but I can see how it would be a pain to actually work out with the other regions and keep up to date.
Is there another discussion on Pacifica I've missed? It seems a bit peculiar that we have nations exploring space if we have unknown land here on our own planet or is this the intriguing thing Far's been working on? [emoji14]

Whatever! Its Fall in Ryccia!

And more Antarctic clay? South of my little RATSPT?

That looks delicious. Yum.

The problem with using other regions was that most of them simply don't have a map we can use, and many others also cannot be reconciled (such as ones of a full planet). I think I found only a single GCR with a map that could fit on our planet. And the issue then is that we have now defined out solar system and its celestial bodies, which would have to be reconciled with other region's settings. I investigated this a while back and it just simply wasn't practical.

I believe the unofficial canon me and Kringle use (maybe a few others, can't remember) is that other than the ice caps there are no other major landmasses on Pacifica besides those in the South Pacific and B&N. Still plenty of islands of various sizes (think the actual Pacific, just on a global scale), but no continents. This lets us have a rest of the planet while giving an easy lampshading for issues like why we don't contact/colonize the rest of the world.

 I made a rough sample map at one point, but its a little too big and tends to crash everything it touches.

Uhm, no. I'm pretty sure Ryccia is south of the equator; so it's actually Spring.

*Gets flamethrower*

Is Fall in Ryccia. Period.


RE: [OOC] Flash News - rhinotaz - 10-02-2015

Ryccia. Stop being stupid. This is not a subjective matter.


RE: [OOC] Flash News - Ryccia - 10-02-2015

Nope. Fall in Ryccia. I don't care.

Pretend that is Spring in Ryccia, but, for me, is Fall now.


RE: [OOC] Flash News - Qwert - 10-02-2015

Why is that so important?


RE: [OOC] Flash News - Ryccia - 10-02-2015

Because I live in the Northern RL Hemisphere. I don't feel comfortable with Southern RL Hemisphere Season Patterns.

Why should the world cater to Ryccia's wants, as if normal rules didn't apply to him?
