@Gryphon?

Is this good?

@MonicaCellio? Is this good:

medium.com/@futurehistorian382/…

Looks not bad after skimming it. Let me take a minute to read it a little more thoroughly.

Oh.

Just feel free to read it, so I can fix it before publication.

So, @Gryphon? Is it good?

And I may need to add some images to make things interesting.

1:53 PM

Yeah, an image or two would be useful. It's a little short, but that's not a problem. Whatever length works best is fine.

Agreed.

More information is in the references anyway.

Reload the page.

Better?

@Gryphon? Is it better yet?

Excellent. Pictures are always helpful. The new Juggernaught looks a little sad without one.

I have to go to class now. Sorry about that. ttyl

@Green Coo. What did I mention I would create?

3:17 PM

@James I don't remember.

@James chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/27736?m=41300316#41300316 This is what I have. it's not very pretty and it doesn't show plate movement directions.

2 hours later…

@Green Just remember. I was going to update the map to include the plains/forests/etc.

maybe some rivers.

@Green This is amazing.

5:57 PM

Hey @MonicaCellio, was Golden Sails 1 going up today or tomorrow?

@James Yep, that's pretty much it.

@James Perhaps a clean up of the tectonics map and the creation of the climate map?

@James While unstated, it bear mentioning that Science and Religion have the same problems. What is logical depends on the logical rules you're working with.

This is one of a set of stories exploring the fictional world of Quenaunor. The previous story is here, and the first story is here. This is the first part of a four-part story. The next part is coming soon! Stanor, a priest of Aghrad and Chief Merchant of Kaegharm, sniffed the salty wind coming through the large window above his desk and grimaced in distaste. The window overlooked Kaegharm’s h…

@Gryphon "It would not at all strange if he" <- I think there is a "be" missing between "all" and "strange". That is a very good cliffhanger.

Very nice

@Secespitus?

@FutureHistorian I would change "do not confuse that with the fictional anti-extraterrestrial defence force known as X-COM, even though it is a hilarious reference" to something like "not to be confused with the fictional anti-extraterrestrial defence force known as X-COM". People will understand the joke without explicitly stating that it looks like a reference. The sentence "(the one I chose to go with" is missing a closing bracket.

You use a lot of dots "……." - most people just choose three. Maybe on a separate line to signal a small pause. But not that many in the middle of a paragraph. I've never seen that style, so if you prefer it you should obviously keep it - but you should take a moment to think about it.

Oh.

Oops. I can fix that.

Otherwise it's good.

@Green When making the climate map, are you going to go more world scale, or just stick to the original region?

Oh.

Fixed it (I think).

@FutureHistorian Yeah, looks good.

7:27 PM

Now, what do I do about Part II?

Which is the events that unfolded in this timeline, narrated from a 2017 point of view.

Alternate, that is.

55 years since the bombs fell.

Since modern civilisation collapsed.

Since the Cuban Missile War...ended the world.

And all because Vasily Arkhipov allowed a nuclear torpedo to be unleashed on the Americans.

If you are asking me: no idea. I can read your second blog post once you have the draft ready, but I have no idea about the topic itself.

@AndyD273 I'm not making anything. I'm simply posting what other people hand me.

We'll have to go for a global scale eventually though nothing about this world is unchangeable.

Oh.

7:45 PM

So if we mess up the climate on a continental scale, we can always fix it later. Heck, maybe I'll finish that climate calculation project I was working on previously and we'll get actual "scientific" numbers for it.
