I tend to agree about that square, our maker of maps will have to fix that.
We've decided arbitrarily that anyone who claims spot S6(the ugly square) will be multi-laterally bombed into the stone age, and the spot will be forcibly sunk, through RP.
But then we couldn't have any desert down there anymore!
Well, I couldn't have any desert down there anymore, I guess.

I apologize if I sound belligerent, but your complaint seemed to come right out of left field. That is the main problem I have with it. Otherwise, I'm willing to talk it over through PMs or visitor messages or whatever.

I find it remarkably interesting that everyone forgets that ugly square is my ugly square. With a purpose that I haven't discussed yet. I'll write a post on it soon, just you wait.
Take it up with the mapmaker. Our arbitrary statement remains though. I would be interested in how your nation realistically came to support a landlocked colony in the middle of no where. I mean if I'm going to the lengths of hashing out how I can still be in the south when everything is ethnic now, I'd think we should all be held to realism.

lurk moar.
I'm pretty sure that's something that even a historical expert couldn't explain to me. I'm not saying it should be greened, I'm fine with you having it. I just have issues understanding the logistics of its existence. PM me the appropriate background if you want, but again, I don't care, I'm not advocating for you losing the territory through OOC greening. I hate greening.

I feel we need to be careful with claiming multiple spots for our nations. It'd be unfair to those who have claimed their spots long ago, as well as setting dangerous precedent much like when we first began Modern, claiming these hugeass spots and leaving little room for others.

I'll write up the aforementioned history of that area in the next 2 to 48 hours for all to consume in my appropriate thread.
Simple: because I've been asking for the squared off borders for a long time now, whilst you just popped up without any requests on the map with all those pixels. There's a map thread, for requests, where everybody goes to make requests. That's the point of the map thread. If people start using back channels like IRC and PMs, then there is no point in a map thread and a request thread, it's just whoever spams the mapmaker's query and IRC first. So, do not "boohoo why don't people love me" when you go about things the way you go.
So, just in case, I still want Dagomba's borders squared off at S6. Regardless of whether Suionia has S6 or not. If people can get free pixels, Dagomba can get free pixels. I do not think it is relevant anymore of what happened to S6. The squared off borders will look far more aesthetically pleasing anyway, regardless of who owns S6.
As a part of my new campaign to 'Make the South Beautiful Again' I support this.
also if you could color everything the traditional green of the Nuttian Empire I'd appreciate it

For the record, I used back channels because I didn't want to start drama over something which another member had already threatened to start. It's why I felt compelled to initially give up the islands, then realize "waitaminute, those arguments didn't make sense, it's up to the mapmaker and he already gave me those pixels so I shouldn't have to give them up". I apologize if I'm highlighting favoritism, but I can assure you I did not think my request would not only be honored and blessed by both the mapmaker and the admins, but honored so soon.
It was a misguided attempt to avert drama, and I'm sorry about that. I still want to avoid drama, but I guess the best way is to just quit aye?
The reason I said wait was that if S6 was to greened, I had planned to round it off, but as I have not been given a reason for it being greened in the first place, it will remain a Suionian colony and remain the shape it is. As for the reshaping of Southern Dagomba, I have taken it into consideration.
All I ask right now is to let me first get my up posted first.
The reasoning was that S6 had not done anything, and there seemed to be no prospect of doing anything in the future. Obviously they have a PLAN for it now, so there is a good reason to fill in the square again.
As to Josepania's request, removal, then secondary request: the debate ends here. He's there, consider the gravity of the RP potential if your nation folk were as concerned about Josepanian occupation as you are.
