New Project - Opinions?

Posted by hmniak on 21 July 2017 in English.

After being inactive for quite a while, I am currently working on a new country. Since I am still working on a backstory it has neither a name nor a flag. The first city I’m building is called St. Andras. It is located on a strategically important area with control over a rather big bay and access to the sea. St. Andras is home to a marvellous Old Twon with a completely intact city wall. Part of the city is also a sea port and various train stations.

It’s always nice to hear feedback so here are the coordinates. Come visit and let me know what you think. What can I improve, what can I add, what should I remove?

Thank you, Hmniak

What is the GSF about?

The GSF is an allusion to the Eurovision Song Contest, which should at least be familiar to all Europeans. Basically, it’s a competition to showcase your country’s artists. Of course, the contest also has a winner, which is determined by televoting (in our case by random principle) . Every country gives between 12 to 1 points to their favourite song. Obviously, the country with the most points wins.

Why do we need the GSF?

Browsing through the wiki you can find tons of sports-related competitions but nothing focusing on culture, let alone music. I think the GSF is a fun way to introduce something new to this platform.

How do I apply?

You can apply by commenting the following:

  • Country representing
  • Artist/Band/…
  • Song title
  • Genre
  • Language sang in

An example:

  • ABC-Country
  • Best Band Ever
  • Best Song Ever
  • Pop-Rock
  • Ingerish

When and where will the contest be held?

Looking for feedback

Posted by hmniak on 16 August 2016 in English.

Hey, I’ve signed up over a year ago but haven’t really been that active since then. However, the past few weeks/months I tried improving my country Elhádhon.

I’m rather proud of my achievements around the area of Andreassjäda which is supposed to resemble a rather fertile area with focus on agricultural use. It provides the rather arctic country with food. However, before getting more into detail and work (which I plan to do the next few weeks), I’d like to receive some feedback from you guys.

Thanks in advance, Hmniak
