. . . and though I voted to change one country name (EU to HRE), I don't really care either way. If giving up this issue will make the map come on faster, than I'm all for giving up.

Whenever you've got some time, lets see the latest update (that is if you are changing anything from the previous one a few pages back ago).

Well, hopefully I'm not. The only issues I've seen raised since http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... &start=546 are the territory number, which was settled in an earlier poll, the size of the notebook lines (making the lines denser would make the map look more crowded; some earlier version had them that way and I changed it), and the names of territories, which I'm really getting tired of arguing about so if this current poll turns out in favor of not changing any more names I'll take it as a mandate to declare the current names final.

I'd like to get the large version finalized before I start on the small version and/or figure out army coordinates.

Looks good.
Lets play on it!!!!

The names are perfectly alright. Besides, we shouldn't overdo the mistakes. A 7-year-old isnt that silly to make a mistake for so many countries...

I also don't like the Onion. It sounds distinct enough from Union that I doubt a kid would confuse the two words. I think a mispelling of Europe, like Yurop or Europia, would be more amusing.

The idea of changing Iceland's name to North Pole also looks cool. It's a bit of a far shot, but as long as we're going to be misnaming territories we might as well go all the way. Plus, I'm sure more kids know what the North Pole is than what Iceland is.

Also:

5. Change the direction indicator into an actual country and call it "Nwes?" (as in a child's misunderstanding of its purpose).

Best. Idea. Ever. Nwes? could connect Andy's to Austr(al)ia. I doubt this would happen, tho.

i just thought of a cool name that you could use for europe, its Eewup

Don't get it... doubt a 7-year-old would say it that way anyway. He'd be better at speaking by that time

And even if he did have a speech impediment, he wouldn't spell it out.

Yeah, the Onion would be the only thing I would change.
Not sure what to change it to, though.

Yea, totally agree. If a child reads the word and pronounces it that way, it has nothing to do with the way he'll write it out, since he'll associate back with other letters. And for the record, by 7 you should be able to pronounce consonants properly...


Anyway, instead of asking for a change of Onion, try suggesting one. There isn't much use in just saying something won't work, when you don't even know what will.

European Onion is probably my least favorite name. If I could think of anything better I would change it but nothing I've seen is any cleverer.

Maybe you should just stick with Europe? I mean, how many mistakes can a 7-year-old make anyway...

Though the European Onion works since he wouldn't remember the longer version of the name, which is European Union, so he just thinks its Onion. Not entirely hilarious, but still works...

I would like that, and it was called Europe origninally, but there is already a continent called Europe.

Possibly. I'll try and see how it looks in the map.

I have a problem with Iceland and Europpean Onion.

I swear she said she was Draft 18:


Issues addressed:
- ) Changed European Onion to Europe Jr.

Issues not addressed:
- ) Any other brilliant ideas

That certainly looks less squished, at least. What do you think?

Have you considered making the paper not so glaring white? I do recall that some notebook paper varies in the shade of white. Right now my eyes feel a little bombarded by the ultra-whiteness.

It's actually slightly less white than white right now. The problem is, if I darken it, you eyes will be bombarded by off-white or light gray.
