Ok so… I’d like to know what do you think about this city. (work in progress, absolutely not finished)

-Yes, i know it is very small for having a metro. -Yes, i know the stations are very near each other -Yes, i know the buildings look weird.

I like constructive criticism as u don’t hurt my feelings, duh

and a message for admins: Please, are you going to give me a wiki account? Thanks for reading!

Hello, OGF community.

I hope everyone is having a good autumn so far. I apologize for being largely absent of late. Now that I’ve finished with a conference I put on every year, I finally have some free time.

This month’s challenge is in some ways a mini-challenge: special days. What are the special dates in your country’s history? Are there fun religious, civil, or social holidays? How are these commemorated? For example, are there gathering places for military parades, oversized Christmas trees, or annual religious pilgrimage? Are streets or buildings named after events or the crucial people in those events?

I can’t wait to see what people do this month! Say hello to your neighbor, and happy mapping. :)

Yesterday, 13th November was the day I signed up for OGF. 2018 has been quite an eventful year for me, whether in OGF or in real life.

For starters, I had a brief amnesty back on the wiki, before getting banned again. I had fun, however, developing some content for Singkangia. Anyway, after my 2nd wiki ban, I decided to totally drop Singkangia, since it is pointless for me to continue what I don’t really enjoy, and moved on to the Pretanic Faction State, where I have greater fun developing the Briarmacks’ cult of personality, develop slums for the lower-class, and create Soviet-style neighbourhoods for the middle-class. (Hey, that is socialism to you!) It is fun collaborating with bhj867 as well, though he may not be active on PFS all the time, and also other mappers in the country.

What I have also done this year is to create a metro system for Antigo City, created some detailed forest covers, and other notable structures including the border city of Daulselon (meant to imitate Kaesong).

I have also grown closer with other mappers, such as oneofbeatlefan, developer of Wallea; TCC, guardian and fixer of various parts of Commonia (whom you better not argue with); Zekiel/Trombonist 2003, who has redone his capital multiple times and also doing other parts of Beaumontan (establishing Antigo-Beaumontan ties in the process), and other notable people which have also given sufficient guidance to my mapping and plans (e.g. Austinhuang, Eklas, Eretra, Ernestposcby, Stjur, Luciano etc). Also thanks to Eklas for the railway tutorial, to newbies designing railways, please read them!

Hello everyone,

a new diary entry just to ask you if you’d like to take a look at my country, Brennland. I’m working on two fronts: high detail in the capital city, Brig (and in the almost finished town of Freienfeld), and sketching the basic geographical features of the country. Brennland has plenty of mountains in the northern part and along the greater part of its boundaries, except from the south, where river Brenne flows between smooth hills.

Just take a look and leave a feedback, it would be highly appreciated. Just remember that it’s “work in progress” ;-)

Happy mapping!

Hello all!

I am hereby asking you to rate the scale of the hamlet I’ve got going in the blue nation of Drull. I’ve been using the scale helper and been measuring everything with great care but I am still unsure about the scale of it all, especially because the surroundings are so different proportionally, like the intersection next to the hamlet that I did not create.

Thank you :)

First off, actually how is a nuclear weapon base designed? What do you think a nuclear base should have? Because I have plans to create sites for nuclear testing for the Pretanic Faction State (the name will be changed soon), but so far I have seen a barely mapped nuclear site from North Korea: osm.org/#map=14/41.2264/129.1105. Is it because all nuclear sites are underground?

Anyway, does your nation have ever possessed nuclear weapons, or at least have ambitions to possess some and hence created such test sites? Or let’s reduce to a milder level: Does your country also do nuclear power? Show some of the nuclear power plans/ test sites if necessary.

I am not going into further details about Antigo’s nuclear weapons programme, without any consensus yet from bhj867.

Hello everyone,

I am planning on making a mountain range with rivers, peaks and forest. It’s some stuff at a very professional stage (high-end JOSM). Since I do not have JOSM nor do I have access to it, I ask help today from you, my OGF people, to pleasw help me.

P.S. I see that my diary entry response rate (D.E.R.R.) is pretty low (about 2-5 replies), but I am serious. I do need help.

Yours, TheMapper27 (btw this name is cringe)
