Realistic or Modern New Civilizations 1st Edition OOC

[ShinGeorgeTownRaja]

ShinGeorgeTownRaja Old subject. Yalu River. You recall why I had reservations about that region? This is something I found about Mesopotamia"

They used canals, or man-made waterways, as irrigation tools to channel water from rivers to crops. Irrigation helped keep the soil moist, and the river water delivered nutrients to the soil. This moist, nutritious farming soil is what earned the region the nickname “The Fertile Crescent.”

The reason that civilizations first flourished around the Yellow, Indus and Nile was the river and soil. However, by 5000 BCE large villages spread out. So, I am off in Anatolia. The Yalu should be fine. The soil may take more work. But I suspect that even Ed can figure out solutions for that. (Manure, compost, etc.)

I also found some pictures of the lower Yalu. Seems to flatten out there. But the soil looks sandy. Poor soil, you can fix. Irrigation you can invent. In the upper Yalu, introduce terracing if needed.

When it comes to turning the soil (plowing) it will be tough to get very far down. Turns out that is a good thing. I read a report from Texas A&M long, long ago that stuck in my mind. You want to limit plowing to 8-10 inches in most cases.

Hm, interesting. Thanks for the advice!

I'm still here. Just struggling to write

I know, right? Not only that, but some others haven't been active as well. They probably might be busy with life, obviously. But who knows? They might return someday. Hopefully.

Hai, yes, me, guilty as charged ~w~

I have a post in the works, though did get pretty busy last week with IRL. I should have my first post out tomorrow though :3

Might have my character solo for a bit and then try to meet up with someone for an interaction or two.

I didn't die, I just didn't get alerts, not until Kyuukestu cookied me

Yea, I've noted a few people mentioning that they stopped getting alerts from the thread. We might have to start pinging people to keep them up to date with what's going on.

 

[wickedlittlecritta]

yeah it stopped giving me notifications for a hot second, but then mysteriously started back up again?

rpn is a mysterious website

 

[CurrenWalters_is_my_bbg]

I used to be SOO mad, when I would wait for days on end (for another rp I'm in) waiting for someone to say something on the RP thread, then post something... AND BOOOM! my (old) character is still saying hi on a beach, when everyone is in a cave already.
(As of now we are in a castle that I have no idea how wolfs built that, and my (new) Gay ass bloody character leaves to clean wash himself of blood, with ANOTHER GAY ASS character, we all know how that's Gunna work out. I don't know I'm telling yell this but like, idc)

So I found this map on an alternate history forum and I found this one to be interesting. What do you guys about this? Any suggestions?

 

[ShinGeorgeTownRaja]

What about you? lol GTech

 

[Mitheral]

You would think there would be some mods for Google Earth.

i’m not sure what suggestions you’re looking for?

Do you like the map or not? Do you prefer a different map? Sorry for the vagueness. lol

 

[wickedlittlecritta]

are you planning on using it for something in particular, is the question i guess i’m really asking? because it’s a perfectly fine map on its own but i have no strong feelings about it with no context

Yes, I'm planning on using it for this roleplay which is the map I'm going for then. Also, sounds good!

Question! I noted a few mentions of historical grand strategy games like Civ and others; would anybody be up for actually playing some of these games as a group? Might give some inspiration for the RP or just end up being a nice group bonding exercise!

What will it be about in terms of gameplay concepts? lol

 

[CloudySkyLoftyMoon]

I suppose that depends on the game we pick. If possible, we could do an RP-themed multiplayer...like when faced with whatever problems the game throws at you, what decisions would your character make?

I see, I might make it work. Let me think about it, okay?

 

[ShinGeorgeTownRaja]

You know, the most difficult part of studying Japanese is to understand the difference between the particles "de" and "ni". De incidates the tool, language or mode of transport used to complete an action as well as the location of an action. Ni, on the other hand, indicates the location of someone or something. The confusing thing is that (both of) these can sometimes be translated as "in", "at", and "on". Here are two examples of them below.

• De: Terebi de Naruto wo mimasu. (I (will) watch Naruto on TV.)
• Ni: Gakkou ni gakusei ga imashita. (There were students at school.)

Hopefully, I should understand those differences now. Japanese is so freaking hard! XD

LOL, sounds simple to me ... said the linguist.
