Good Morning/Afternoon!

In my day job, I work in the civil engineering field (specifically residential and commercial site development).

I have been floating an idea in my head to create a basic how-to on site development and I am curious to know how many of you would be interested in something like this.

Hello Everyone!

Just letting everyone know, I may be sporadically present on OGF (I am buying a house!) for a little while.

I am still in control of Drevet (and Wustesonne), and any request to map in Drevet will likely be slow. Please be patient and don’t assume my silence is consent.

I will still be omnipresent in OGF.

Happy Mapping!

Good Afternoon,

Because I have dealt with this problem TWICE in less than a week, I am going to repeat a statement from several of our fellow mappers:

Do NOT edit in someone’s territory without their permission.

If you cannot find a list of ‘open’ or ‘collaborative’ territories,

I understand that you all are new, but please read the rules before diving in to mapping!

Thanks Everyone

Afternoon everyone,

I need to fix some unauthorized edits in Wustesonne. Is there a way I can ‘Undo’ or restore the area to it’s previous state?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Mappers!

I am inviting experienced mappers to help with developing New Berles in Drevet into a ‘showcase city’ to encourage collaboration in Drevet and in other parts of the world.

The goal is to establish a small-medium sized city of 250,000 to 300,000 people with a small harbor and a regional/small international airport. The city center was established in the 18th Century and pre-dates modern urban planning.

This project can be broken into smaller chunks. However, work on the historical center, or suburban towns must be the first piece of this project taken on.

Hello Mappers!

I am ready to open Drevet to a small number of collaborators to work out any possible issues with the collaboration platform. If anyone is interested in one of the jobs listed in the Collaboration Page, please send me a message with a job you are interested in. I will open collaboration to the first 3 mappers who apply.

If the test run is successful, I will fully open Drevet to collaboration by New Year’s.

Thanks for everyone’s help and advice!

Hello everyone!

For a while, I have been working on recreating Drevet into a more manageable ‘guided collaboration’ country, similar to the Ardisphere.

(http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Talk:Federation_of_Drevet_and_Wustesonne)

I’d like to hear any questions and/or comments to the Collaboration Page.

Thanks for everyone’s help!

Hello everyone!

My countries are located on the edge of a desert. I am interested in finding a way to identify a region within the desert where sand dunes are generally/typically located. Since dunes often travel, using a ‘mountain’ marker would not be suitable.

Thoughts?

Since OGF’s world history is often retroactive and spotty, why not use countries (and their wiki pages) that have been abandoned as sources of ancient history or ‘lost civilizations’?

For instance, before Picard was removed, I speculated that some of their culture migrated across Tarephia into Drevet & Wustesonne (my territories). Just like in real-world history, civilizations rise and fall all the time. So, whomever claims what was Picard, they could either make references to the previous country in their history or forge their own backstory.

I am in the process of rebuilding Drevet. No outside editors will be allowed until otherwise noted.

Thank you for your understanding.

Evening Everyone!

I created a rough map of possible plates and faults in our world.

http://s271.photobucket.com/user/PColumbus611/media/OGF%20Faultlines_zpshs1j7lnb.jpg.html (I tried to add this as an image, but am unable to)

I have not studied geology. I drew these lines based on the shapes of the landmasses. If anyone wants to clean this up or improve on this idea, feel free! I named the plates based on the continents. Some of the smaller plates are named after a randomly chosen country.

The arrows represent the possible movement of the plates.

They are:

.1 The Oranotic Plate

.2 The Pela-Kartum Plate

.3 The North Ereva Plate

.4 The Ereva-Hesperic Plate

.5 The West Uletha Plate

.6 The East Uletha Plate

.7 The Tarephene Plate

.8 The Ataraxie Plate

.9 The North Archanic Plate

.10 The Dandria Plate

.11 The Antarephene Plate

.12 The South Archanic Plate

How do I attach an image to my diary entry? I can’t figure out how to do it. Thanks!

Evening everyone,

After some advice from fellow mappers. I decided to change Vienna’s name.

Vienna is now Wustesonne (meaning ‘Desert Sun’)

Will I be able to just change the country’s name on the Wiki, or will there need to be a new page?

I was wondering if there is a possibility of an ‘international business directory’. I guess it would work similar to inviting others to build embassies in your nation.

Hello!

I am starting an experiment, allowing people to add buildings to Vienna. I am opening the Flintsville area for outside development. If anyone is interested in building, you MUST apply to me first.

For more information, please read ‘Vienna to Allow Foreign Developers’ in the World News.

Basically, I will be allowing people to build homes, businesses, industrial sites, and so on within the Flintsville area. If I deem this trial period a success, I may possibly open other areas for development.

Hello Everybody! Sorry I have been away from mapping for a while, but I am back again!
