Hi, friends!

I need some criticism of yours in a problem about Cariocas. I wrote about the population in each city and town in Cariocas in the wiki article, but, surprise, the total is around 1.300.000 inhabitants (!!!!).

What could be a (total) realistic population to Cariocas??? I would like to read suggestions…

You can suggest a total number, and I can “divide” it to the cities and towns, or if someone would like to help in more details, please, consider somethings:

*Gragoatá (and Aracati), because its area, would be the same number of Itacolomi+Várzea da Palma. Itororó also is a big town, like Várzea da Palma.

*The conurbation Paranabi+Japuíba+Cambaquara also needs to be big, something to justify my only railway in the country, and mentioning the future expansion to Japuíba.

*Soon I will re-build Itabi and Piratiba as smaller district-capitals.

Best regards to all!!! Bruno Moreira

Hi, friends! As someone can notice, I have spent my time trying put as much detail as possible in Bhagurah, the capital of Goytakanya.

Today I finished one project I started last week, in a effort to “revitalize” the comercial center of the city. Well, I think today the “Kentral Komerk Popular” is done.

(in Goytakano language I created, Kentral=Center, and Sentral=Central)

Looking the first way, anyone can imagine it is not so much work, but I tried to manage it the best way. Toilets are away to food shops or restaurants. Shops of fresh or “living” goods, as pet shops, florists, restaurants, seafood etc, are located in outer shops, but clothes, electronics and gift shops are in inner locations. (Exception= in central building, the restaurants are in the central open area).

I think this place as a popular marketplace, so much inspired in “Rua 25 de Março”, in São Paulo-SP, and “Rua Uruguaiana”, in Rio de Janeiro-RJ. Actually, the picture I will use in a future wiki article to Bhagurah city, was taken in “Feirinha da Madrugada”, in São Paulo-SP, where I went last year, a popular marketplace that opens AFTER midnight, hehehe.

I know Bhagurah is the center of a political conflict area, and is not exactly one touristic point, but, if some OGF-citizen is traveling by these islands, I would suggest a visit to Kentral Komerk Popular and buy some gift to friends and family!!

PS: I think about detailing more retail areas around, the economy to 120.000 inhabitants of Bhagurah would not be centered in just one marketplace… but not now… its a lot of work, hehehe!!!

Hi, friends!

I am detailing the city of Paranabi, the only city in Cariocas with a tramways system. As the country is not so much rich, there is only one line operating.

But I would like to create a second and third planed lines. Lines and stations only under construction, and I dont know the correct tag to use.

I know I can use “highway=construction”/ “construction=motorway”, as example, but, about railways, the tag “construction=” does not works. I am considering use “railway=preserved” only to turn it visible on the map, hehehe. Can someone help me??

Hey, friends! I found a good tool to create fictional alphabets in http://fontstruct.com/

Today, as a test, I created a simplified Goytakano alphabet. Anyone can download and use it, hehehe

http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1175068

It was “easy” to design. If anyone wants testing too…

Hi, friends! Uletha is flooded… well, may be it was me :-( If someone would like to help, I was editing coastline in Rugenia, the problem could be there. Sorry!!!

Hi, friends! As I said and everyone can see, I prefer use buses as main transportation in my cities and countries. There is any way to include, at least, number of bus routes, in the cities infoboxes?? I rarely mention trams and never mention trains. Just changing the words is not working here, and I am affraid to do a mistake in the infobox everybody uses…

Regards! Bruno Moreira

I dont understand I change just a little things in Khaiwoonese national football team‎ wiki article I just change the 2014 World Cup host country, and I change the word Khaiwoon in a link, in “See also”. But the history of the article says I change so much things more!!!

http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php?title=Khaiwoonese_national_football_team&curid=4473&diff=21971&oldid=21942

What did I do????

I did not want to vandalize any article!

Bruno Moreira

Even getting some inspiration in world cities in general as Lisboa, London or Atlantic City, is a fact almost all my cities and towns look like brasilian places. Because rarely I use another type of transportation, only buses, because I like buses very much, hehehe. You can see in my cities. Just a few ones have a subway system (I remember only Campo Verde right now). And only Slovech got a tramways system, but the name of this city says, my inspiration was only european cities this time. Rio de Janeiro (where I was born) and São Paulo (I went there sometimes) counts with a relatively large subway and urban rail system. But, alvways, my focus and inspiration are only bus routes, hehehe

Now, I am starting my last metropolis, the capital of my fourth and last country: Alcântara, in Luslandia. So, I try creating FIRST AT ALL, two subway routes, and one urban railway. After this, I create some main highways.

I know I need to extend subway line from Atalaia to Leopoldina, and the rail line to Batalha (Sarandi will be out of capital`s metropolitan area). But I would like to listen some suggestions about this.

Lets see if I will get a good thing in this way now. But I am still imagining all bus routes to this metropolitan area, hehehe

I notice right now that Tarephia is flooded. Could anyone fix this???

Regards! Bruno Moreira

Somebody could help me??? I was using https://api.opengeofiction.net/api as URL server, but it is going to a error, and I can not upload my edits in JOSM How can I fix it??

I am, officially, dismembering Gran Luslandia. From now, Luslândia, Brasônia and Belgrávia are independent countries, and Gran-Luslândia is now just a historic region.

To “soccer questions”, as OGF World Cup, I will assume Brasônia=Brasil=Gran-Luslândia; Luslândia=Portugal and Belgrávia=some slavic country, maybe Czech Rep., a good country in soccer but with no titles.

I will re-write the History of Gran-Luslandia and Belgravia, and create soon ones about Luslandia and Brasonia, and I will mention http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Florescenta in history

ADD IN 18th Jan 2015: About embassies, I will send a message to all owners of countries I have embassy, to decide if I can create “more two” embassies, hehehe

As “current CEO” of OGFIA, I would like do organize a season in 2015 of the “Formula Plus”, the stock car league.

My first idea was using the table of Stock Car Brasil in 2015. The same dates but with no repetition of raceways during the season, like the real StockCar Brasil will does.

If you all create a lot of raceways around OGF World, so, I can use the F1 table.

A rule I want to follow is use only one raceway by country, except if there are semi-independent nations in some country. For example: I can use a raceway in Belgravia and another in Brasonia because are two diferent nations inside Gran-Luslandia.

For now, we have eight raceways:

Slovech (BL)/ Sta.Cruz do Norte (LL)/ Salinas (LT)/ Siete Colinas (AR)/ Elegantia (ZL)/ Mirim Açú (CC)/ Gobras City (GB)/ Margonas (AL)

If I use the StockCar Brasil table, we need more two raceways. If we use the F1 tabel, we will need more twelve raceways.

Feel free to name some racers and racing teams too!!!! I created some racers from various countries in OGF World

-Andruja Balrus (Belgravia)/ -Dario Marques (Brasonia)/ -Irving Zamperton (Gobrassanya)/ -Franck Chamberlain (Ataraxia)/ -Girolamo Gavazzi (Darcodia)/ -Thamy Carandiru (Cariocas)/ -Otokar Dartmor (???)/ -Edwin Berry (???)/ -Svoboda Sivebaek (???)

and some racing teams: -Svarczman (Belgravia)/ -Volante (Brasonia)/ -Astromega (Gobrassanya)/ -Standard (???)/ -Excelsior (???)

but I will not necessarily use all of them. It depends of the colaboration of everyone. I prefer use the names you all creates than that ones I mentioned.

So, we need to decide this untill 14/03. Reply, friends! hehehe

I was trying to create a infobox in the wiki page I created to the metropolitan transit authority in Slovech (Transurb Slovech). I used as example a infobox copied from MTA Miami wiki page, but it does not works.

You can see in edit page http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Transurb_Slovech

How can I fix it?? I tried too using the “country infobox”, changing the informations, but anywya does not works too. Could someone help me??

Regards! Bruno Moreira

PS: I did not try yet, but I see I will have the same problem if I use infobox to any football club or sportive confederation, like OGFIA

I was thinking about this theme. The major sports in all of my countries is the football. But Cariocas is so little if I was wanting to use like Brazil (my real country), speaking about history in World Cups.

I was thinking a realistic way to include my countries (Cariocas and Gran Lusland) in the OGFIFA World Cup

So, I would like to use Gran Lusland as Brazil (even if I turn Gran Lusland in three different countries, like I was considering) and Cariocas would be Uruguay - a little country fanatic fir football. (Oh no! I lost for my neighbour country Latina, in my own home, by 7x1 last year!!!! hehehe)

Is needed some permission or I can simply include my countries in the list of winners and host countries?? In this case, 1994 was Gran Lusland the winner, not Ataraxia, but I would not want to start a fight about this

I see that Mecyna is free to edit by any user. There are any rules about it? I am working about finishing Cariocas and finishing Slovech, the Belgravian capital in Gran Lusland, but I would like to edit the capital of Gilagonas province when I get a little of free time…. Regards! Bruno Moreira

Thinking about languages in a “more seriously” way, hehehe…

I claimed the TA121 thinking about create a motherland to Luslandese language (Portuguese from Portugal) and Brasonian language (Portuguese from Brasil)

But, exploring the OGF world, I found two possible countries with the same idea I`ve had.

In http://opengeofiction.net/#map=5/-43.835/34.014 there is a “República Portuguesa” (Portuguese Republic), and in http://opengeofiction.net/#map=8/56.541/30.850 there is a country with names from Portugal (A little explanation: For example, in Portugal, a man`s name is “António”. In Brasil, the same name is “Antônio”)

I will follow my “Gran-Luslândia-TA121 project”, but I would like to know more about these countries and ideas because they have a influence in the history of the languages, and, for extension, my GranLuslândia.

I am not one of the oldests users in OGF, but the new users may consider about the languages.

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

There is not “English” in OGF countries, but “Ingerish”, for example

But anyone is free to create your own language to the country.

Excuse me if anyone just ask about it before, but I am having some problems since yesterday using the JOSM I edit and create a lot of streets off-line, but I can not send it to the site,

-Comunication time with OSM server “http://opengeofiction.net/api/0.6” is over. Please try again-

I try again, and nothing… I did not change any configuration, nothing that could cause this What I can do to fix it??

Bruno

Aditional information: It starts to send… so, a long time ago, starts a “repetition” five times, and finally says -Comunication time with OSM server “http://opengeofiction.net/api/0.6” is over. Please try again-

Maybe because I am sending 5.172 objects???

So many hours, days, more than a week, creating my capital Itacolomi with iD editor in browser

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/9.9721/96.3031

Then, I downloaded JOSM, and… Itacolomi is all out-of-scale!!!!

In last days, I was creating the third major city of my country, Paranabi http://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/10.5590/96.3889

and this city is been in a “decent scale”…

Maybe, I will need to delete and rework totally my capital… it`s annoying!

Hi, guys! My name is Bruno, and excuse my bad English. Im new here and Im still practicing and learning how the things are here, but I can say I`m liking worldbuilding!

For now, I fill some areas like north of Puerto Geo, and Ba, in same area, and I`m thinking some thing in Havanonu Island, at Lonowai Island east side.

What are you thinking? Any advice? I`m in a good way?

Regards! Bruno
