Title: KINGDOMS MAP: A new beginning.
Post by: tonguello on June 18, 2011, 19:33:17
This is the map's most updated version.  :wave: We'll take it from here.
All new members willing to be part of it, you are welcome.
If someone want to leave the map, please let us know and we'll put that land on hold for somebody else.  :)

Please Coyote, Cowabunga, Scan and Rasputin, your lands are still nameless. Please supply us a name for them.
Thank you!

The purple land to the south in between Belathre and Flowerland should be labeled "Avelina".

Is  the green part at the top next to Krull   the part that is currently being invaded by Krull and Melnibone invasion forces  and  the red line indicate the advance of conquering armies to the south of these unclaimed lands ? According to our prev stories Krull and Iseroth invaded these northern unclaimed lands with the objective to conquere that part and split it 60/40 ( Krull/ Melnibone).. so that story still holds i assume and i can depict in my photostories coming up and so does Elric in that resepct ? ( the visit by Iseroth etc ) , I am only asking so that i know if i can continue this photostory or change to a new one !!!  :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Yes ok George! You can have these territories, both you and Elric, but please don't advance any more. Develop your stories where you are and give the chance for others to join in the unclaimed lands if they want  :)

Hi Gaston.
Thanks for the update on the world map. My land is called Gaïa. Please put a city on the top North East part of the land, somewhere between the Mountains and the Sea. This town will be called Lutecia. I haven't figured out any other name for cities or people.
Cheers,

Great to have this update WoT ! I have sent a couple of emails to this greek chap we met at our meeting last MArch but he hasnt repliued to any of them and hasnt been active in the forum at all from what i see. His territory is Eaglesland . Perhaps as you are the ' map owner' you cxn contact him as well as the other participants and find out if they are interested to participate , if not their lands can be given to new members etc who want to be more active . Just an idea so we dont end up having ' ghost kingdoms '  :) :)

I see your point Giorginetto but with the current map there is still enough room for new people, as long as there is still room we don't have to kick other people out. IMO.

As I said in a previous post we need to bring this whole map back to life !!!! May i suggest that the conquested northern unclaimed plains are divided between melnibone nad Krull as planned and then i wonder how and  where do we declare wars etc ???


Krull with its war mongering king will most certainly stay restless after the conquest of the northern plains !!!!

I read them over tonguello and i have to say i think there should be some room to allow a bit more role play in this thread , i am a bit concerned that unless we do this its still going to be very quite etc , and no i dont mean continuous war mongering conversations as quite a  few i am accountable for i admit  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[  ( it was fan though i think....  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:) but at least allow soe o that stuff to make this thread a bit more exciting etc, and i would like to remind all on upholding that notion /idea that apart from the Ithaca/ Krull situation and the joined invasion of the north by Melnibone and Krull and WoT narrative developments of the empire nothing else was ever posted etc , perhaps and thats just an idea we should loosen up and change these very tight rules a bit hhhmmmmm...let  poor King Iseroth do a bit of war mongering with King talos and sent these super fast homng message birds backwards and forward ( they were faster than sms werent they  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:)  all that jazz perhaps, just a bit  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D...hhhhmmmmm  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

George,
We really want this thread to not get out of hand like the last one did.
I believe feelings were hurt, and the topics sometimes bordered on inappropriate for this fun forum.
Also, the role play definitely became a little too unorganized,
and was generally too hard to follow along.

Grangel and I are (hopefully) going to produce story that will show how the map thread should look from now on,
That will not only be fun for us, but also fun for others reading it. :)

I hope you understand the new guidelines,
I am afraid we cannot budge on the topic of Role Play. :-\

Hello! :wave:
The Map Thread was an idea I created a while back,
to allow each person from the forum to create a Kingdom that their Playmobil reside in.
It started with the first jousting tournament,
when we were collecting people from our collections and making large stories for them.
I thought it would be cool if we could place the events happening on a map,
and apparently, so did a few others. :)

If you would like to participate, you do not have to have medieval klickies,
but you should have some sort of "Ancient" or pre-modern-era collection. (Such as Egyptians, Romans, or Celts.)
This way all players can create photostories together with their collections. :)

If you want to read more about how it started, there are the Map Thread archives that you can read:
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7263.0
Title: Re: KINGDOMS MAP: A new beginning.
Post by: bonniebeth on October 03, 2011, 18:16:33
Very well said, WoT.

Yes, we need to see more creative presentations, photo stories, etc. in keeping with the mood of the forum, rather than just a role playing game with all the back-and-forth stuff that was hard to follow. I'll be very interested to see what WoT and Grangel come up with!
Title: Re: KINGDOMS MAP: A new beginning.

I'm with George, don't take the rules to seriously, after all Playmobil is all about roleplaying.

Title: Re: KINGDOMS MAP: A new beginning.
Post by: WarriorOfToys on October 03, 2011, 18:47:00
If you really want to role play, you can role play through private message.
Then if you want to share your role playing sessions with the rest of the forum
you can form them into a story and maybe add some photos. ;)
Then tell the story in the Map Thread. :)9

Hello Wot,

With role playing I mean text accompanied with pictures, so an Story will develop.

Why do we have to use private messages ? Perhaps we can use an separate thread ??
If somebody don't want to read it. He can skip it.

Sorry scan, no such thread will be created, pm is the way to do it if you need to use role playing. Its all been explained in the guidelines http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=8267.0 Role playing alienates members who want to paricipate but do not like role playing. Its been already tried and the popularity of the Kingdom's Map has fallen dramatically.

I am just concerned that this grand idea started over a year ago and for hte past 6 months there has hardly been any post .... i am just proposing here perhaps we should discuss how this whole think will run etc etc  :) :) :)

And good thing the Empire's mods have the power to lock this and every other Empire thread and then no fun will come at all  :P :P :P :P

So I advise both of you to remember what happened last time all the War talk took over all the Empire threads. If its a joke to you, its not for the mods. Too bad people tend to forget so easily. The mods did a really hard work to save this thread, the whole idea and project was about to shut down, and if its all a joke to you then we can stop it here.

I was silent when the map threads were locked the first time. It took the wind out of my sails. I was getting burned out on this site until I discovered the kingdom map. It breathed new life into my playmobil experience. After the map was started, it became stagnant until all the war talk started. Its very interesting to hear all the Kings babbling back and forth. To this day I still don't see what was ever said that was offensive. I read that some were concerned that their kingdom would be taken over. No one invaded any land occupied by another member. The talk about it being played as a risk game is ridiculous. Having back and forth King rhetoric via private message is just stupid. Collaborating a photo story via private message is different. The rhetoric needs to be out in the open. Having it out in the open helped give me ideas for photo stories. I think we are being treated like children with the threats of thread locking before anything has happened. Oh and before someone tells me that I can take my business to Garden Wargaming, I have tried. It will not let me register for some reason. After saying that, I think a back and forth King rhetoric talk should be allowed.

I agree as most of you know  :).. i think some rhetoric makes it all more lively and adds some spice and excitment  and ok can be boring at times but overall makes it all more lively and funny if you ask me with mad kings sendings light speed message birds as frequeant as sms ....

I don't have a name exactly for a kingdom... and I'm not sure about how "involved" I would get... but I am interested in this...

it is very much like what I and my siblings played growing up... we had councils of kings and ratified... then broke :)... treaties, trade agreements, fixed borders, did currency exchange... and of course there was a little fighting... got so heated at one point that mom declared herself "Pope" to force a violence reduction... at least against each other... so we introduced foreign invading powers to fight against in between our disputes... I'll have to finish writing those Chronicles sometime... the notes are sitting in my unfinished projects bin... its only 15 years worth of constant kingdom evolution and interaction...  :lol: :lol:

Elric, George, Angelo and others.

I can't understand what all the fuss is about. The guidelines are clear and absolute. And there were many reasons for us to work on them and change them.

So, one more time, hope this help. The developments of the stories must be shown as photostories, not as just posting by you guys in character.

So you WOULD BE ROL-PLAYING through your clickies in the stories.... but ONLY IN them.

In those stories you can do WHATEVER you arrange to do with your neighbour or friend. War or peace or noodles, we don't care as long as that falls into the rules.

I hope that's clearer.

I will just point out that while the main Kingdoms thread has been quiet the entire Marketon Joust and related threads were located in the Kingdoms playspace. It was always our intent that the Joust be a Kingdoms activity while not being limited just to Kingdoms participants. There were not as many related story threads as I had hoped coming out of it, but it was summer when people tend to be busier.

This will create very interesting stories ( It's like playing together with your playmobil  ;D )

That's very similar to what's been done in the modern war thread http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7496.0 .... one person does a mini photo story, and then the next person answers with a photo story. Panos and I even did a joint story, which was a LOT of fun. It takes some effort to come up with a joint story, but it's really so much fun. :yup:

Here is where the joint story Panos and i did began: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7496.msg150748#msg150748 it's all very silly of course, but the same thing could be done in a medieval war story... we came up with a basic story line for this chapter of the story, decided who would depict what scenes, and both went to work. Then after a dry run by PM, we simultaneously posted our segments. Two allied nations could do this sort of thing for example, and then an opposing nation can make an answer. I highly recommend this method of "play!"

It is good that this thread is alive again!!!
Let me ask you what are going to do with the empire???
This thread was the spice of Playmofriends.....



I am going to keep the Empire.
The Empire is there to help with story ideas,
as well as my own personal Map Police force... >:D (Just Kidding. ;))

I think i am going to do this and create a rather provoking for my buddy grangel and Ithaca photostory that I am sure will evolve to a rather amusing and enterntaining photo story !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:, angelo is up for it so asap when i go to the den there will be King Iseroth in his infinite  wisdom doing his  war do's etc etc  :lol: :lol: :lol: and that thread will be called WAR!!! and kept away from the map thread here and in line with the rules ....  0) 0) 0) 0)

By the way me and Elric agreed to do a short photostory showing his king and my king inspecting the conquered lands of the north  perhaps the map also can be updated to illustrate that the northern plains have been conquered and split 60/40 Krull / melnibone as originally agreed between the kingdoms and then the photostory will follow separately all in line with the rules etc etc   0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0) 0)

Lots of G4 is already under control by Grangel.
But I could give you the remaining land in G4, and the land in H4. :)

I think its meant to be more land conquered at the north WoT , and yeap Elric the land is split but we werent just talking from the start about these tiny sections right ? i think the conquered land should extend slighty to the south to the south line of avalon that gives a nice square area for a new player to join but  shows a decent conquest at the north and indicate the conquest of melnibone and krull .  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

PS : Elric sent me a pic  of your king and i will create a photostory when next at the den ( fingers crossed i have all the parts etc ) of the two kings inspecting the conquered lands and having a feast at Krull's castle .

For those newer to the project, be aware that I host pages for the Map and it's countries at Animobil.
You can find them here: http://animobil.info/shields/text/5d0863aa-644.html (http://animobil.info/shields/text/5d0863aa-644.html)

The map is out of date and I will eventually add pages for all the new countries as well. You can add anything you like to your own pages. History, detail maps, characters. It's actually all needing a freshen up, I haven't even added all the new info from Marketon to the Maps pages. I need to crosslink the individual Jousting Knights pages with their respective countries yet.

WOT it would be good to remind everyone the size of each square, so they can have an idea of how big their countries are.

I think we agreed that each cell was 400 miles by 400 miles. That is a little bigger than the UK or half of Spain... so just you can compare.

Correct me if Im wrong, please.

I think we should have a special area just for the kingdom map threads. Maybe a sub area of the story telling area. Things can get scattered. I want to reopen my Kingdom Map thread where I show off the sites of Melnibone. We can also have the photo stories related to the map all in one place. Currently we have stuff in the common room, story telling section and in the community events area. This forum is so big there are areas that I hardly go to because of limited time. Just a thought. What do you think?

My apologies for the Animobil pages being so woefully out of date. I will get things updated as I can. The holiday season has taken big chunks of my time. I've got some update things to do with the regular animal pages and then will move to the shields & heraldry section. I may do a reorganization and place the PF Jousting League under the World Map area instead of it being the opposite as it is now.

I am thinking now of having a World X section with the next org split being areas on the League, the Nations, and one on Characters/Persons where the current knight pages can go as well as new ones for other characters like Vanidel Borgstrom, Sir Edward of Snooks, Sven and Torvald.

Question - would the Characters area be better treated as an encyclopedia? That would allow entries for products like Krull Ale and Jungle Juice (It's Fruit!) and other multi-national concepts.

As a side note - well ok this is all really a side note - in my Santa Castle diorama there is a Jungle Juice (It's Fruit!) poster next to the drinks machine in the break room. I like seeing little references like that popping up in otherwise unrelated stories.
