Poll - Territories: Static or Fluid
« on: January 12, 2012, 21:39:47 »
This is an underlying question about the world map as we've done it so far. From this point forward should we assume that borders are locked in and there will be no changes, or will we allow changes if they meet some guidelines?
The guidelines under discussion are a volume limit where once it's been reached you can not grow and can only change by shrinking or exchanging territory. All territory changes involving changes to joint borders must be approved by everyone along that border.
Very importantly - no changes will ever be made unless they are a natural result of something that has been shown in a photo story.
This project  is about stories happening in a shared world with shared references. The map is simply a reference tool and not an end in itself.
See Rule Proposal: Territorial Volume for recent discussion of this.

Thanks Tim for posting this. In my view the map should be fluid and i think there shouldnt be limits to volumes  I think we would miss some elements of excitement if i may call this as such if the map was to be resticted. All parties involved in any chnage should agree first to such changes and  i must say its the photo stories that will make a difference in all this and any change should be backed by a photostory ....

Yes, I think that the map should be fluid. Fluidity allows for more excitement, in my view. :)

Definitely fluid. However the question George raises can be discussed later, about whether there should be a limit on how much land a person can own.
