Many hundreds of years ago when all the world was ocean the Great Seamonster swallowed a particularly large and tasty tuna fish. The fish stuck in her throat, but with her immense strength she ground it down and crushed it until all that was left was a compact stone, the size of a large pebble. Wanting to be rid of it, she coughed it up onto the surface of the sea.

It floated there, growing to become a reef, and then an island. The reef was strong and surrounded a large lagoon, in which was another tiny island. On the top of the island was a mound and near the mound was a tree, a fig tree, which birds from all over the world came to, and ate. The Great Seamonster was frustrated, since she was too large to reach the island over the reef.

The birds that came to eat the figs flew all over the world, dropping seeds into the ocean. The seeds grew to become islands themselves and where many seeds dropped together, mountain ranges formed. This went on for hundreds of years, and for all this time the Great Seamonster was frustrated, since she couldn’t climb over the reef to reach the tree. Meantime, plants and animals, growing from the fig seeds, spread over all the new lands in the oceans.

The Great Seamonster nursed her rage and devised a plan. She hunted down a marlin and, as with the tuna fish, she swallowed it and crushed it in her gullet. Coughing it up, out came a pebble which floated on the sea and grew into a coco de mer. Soon the nut became the first woman, Kitani, who populated the world. Her children spread to all the islands.

Although the Great Seamonster had meant Kitani to find the fig tree and destroy it, Kitani was wise. She swam to the island of the fig tree and lived there for hundreds of years, looking after the tree. When she died, her children protected the tree. The Seamonster’s rage continued.

Hi!

I made my first airport a few days ago. I know almost nothing about airports, so I’d like to get some feedback. Is it realistic at all? What would you change? If the airport is realistic, I will add more details to it (grass, some buildings, parking areas, ref codes…).

The airport is the main airport of Suursaari (the capital of Eelanti).

Thanks for your feedback!

I’ve being trying to fix an issue with a pair of intersections in one of my towns, and the issue is exclusively with the Directions/Pathfinding ability on OGF. Find linked HERE the issue at hand.

To explain, I have a one-way system on both roads, which is correctly laid out, but the directions don’t seem to acknowledge the existence of the A4 highway. I’ve relaid every section of the highway to fix it, totally delete the interchange and then rebuild it from scratch. I don’t see a reason why the directions don’t see the A4 highway as existing, and I pride myself on having all roads navigable with the direction tool, so this is frustrating me a tiny bit.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Keep Up The Mapping

Hi all,

After going through the OGF Wiki, I got some inspiration and decided to make a “Lonely Planet” like Travel Guide company

http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Sociable_Planet

Following that, I thought that maybe perhaps we could expand on this and each country if they decide to, could make their own “Sociable Planet” travel guide to his/her country. I think this would be a great idea as it would allow users to express their creativity and vision of their nation to other users.

Please feel free to comment and discuss this.

Many thanks, Tommypoo

Guys

Yesterday, I was reading the old hilarious discussion we had on D**cord, and let me say this:

Why Have We Freaked Out About Messaging Apps After One Unfortunate Incident?!

With proper administration, of myself and others I promise that this time, it will work out. Don’t you wan’t to return to those “old-times”? Also, Telegram is amazing! Iv’e been using it for a year now, and it has been absolutely amazing at doing it’s job. There’s even a music bot where you can download and listen to music!

The people who caused trouble last time are no longer here, so what’s the problem? Are we all that antisocial? Come on. Proper admins are all we need to restore the wonders of the instant chat of OGF.

Please think about this before you comment “But i though this was settled blablabla….”

Unfortunately, I’ve been having trouble updating. 1. When I click the link on ‘you should update’, it brings me to the Josm download page. 2. I click on the most recent version, and it asks if I want to open or save. I click open. It runs a security scan. 3. It brings me to a internet explorer view downloads page. Looking at a tutorial video on how to download, this is not supposed to happen. It asks me if I want to save or open the file. 4. I click open. 5. Then it just duplicates the file and I’m back to step 3. HELP
