>>17760957figures. we need to get people who are interested enough in world building to keep this thread alive, but unlike /ybc/, /hfz/ /#/, /nasfagq/, etc. this thread requires a more indepth understanding of all the other threads and their relationship to each other to be successful. it's more complex than the average thread, basically. even if we got everything working, there would be no way to guarantee that our thread would replicate every other thread accurately, which is why we might as well not even try.
someone suggested just putting territories on the map for threads that don't already have land claimed for them, and i agree with this, but nobody wants to defend people who aren't even here, and we might run into problems when new threads are born or die, so here is an interesting idea, if we are creating nations for every thread on 4chan, what about this thread? shouldn't there be a nation that represents the world building thread if this thread exists? if so, what would it look like? how about we make it a nation that essentially exists to create new nations.
this nation should be strong enough militarily that invading it's regions is a bad idea, but weak enough politically that it constantly gets separated into new regions every time it gets big enough to pose a major threat to the rest of the world, maybe it is just really well defended, but has a shit government, maybe make it a sort of confederacy, with a bunch of unrelated groups joining forces to survive the intense cold, breaking apart as soon as the problem that keeps them together no longer exists. idk if the south pole can be claimed, so i'll just say they are at the very bottom of the neutral territory in the coldest areas. attacking them in the winter is a bad idea, basically. they also conquer more of the neutral territory which is constantly changing ownership and thus would be a great target, but as soon as they get out of the claimed regions, politics gets in the way and they split off into new nations. if a thread dies, a nation gets conquered, or a new thread wants to join in, first they have to create lore for the worldbuilding nation to try to conquer a region that is at least close enough to where they want to go for them to be able to get there, and then if they want they can create lore about the politics that leads to the creation of their new nation. this allows for the map to be dynamic enough for people to get the regions they decide they want if they are willing to work for it, while also letting anyone (re)join in if they want.
this way we don't even need to give the threads that aren't participating any land at all, and keep in mind that you don't necessarily need to be from a thread to play their roles (you can claim a region for a different group if you think they would like it, if they don't like how everything is going, say that region got destroyed and that one of the new regions from the world building nation wanted to use their name and likeness, but with a few or maybe even a lot of tweeks to how things work. everything still requires someone who will make a map, unfortunately, but the less intimidating everything looks, the more likely someone will step up and try, right?
tell me how you guys think, or what suggestions you have on it.
