Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

[The Tai-Pan]

With only one entry so far, Motf 270: The World Turn'd Upside Down is being extended for one week.

Will 271 be released today?

 

[CourageousLife]

No, I won't be overlapping any of the contests.

Here's an idea:

Checkpoint Charlie

Depict a country under the complete and total occupation of not less than two of its adversaries.

 

[CourageousLife]

I think that works well. Unless there are other competing ideas, I'll use this for MotF 271.

 

[CourageousLife]

I'm closing MotF270 at 5pm EST as normal. If there are no other entries, the round will close uncontested.

 

[CourageousLife]

With no other challengers, please congratulate @PobreCesar on winning MotF 270: The World Turn'd Upside Down with their map of the Indian Industrial Revolution.

No post for today. Don't forget to enter a submission into MotF 271: Checkpoint Charlie.

How stringent is the no current politics rule for motf? Is a 2010s war Involving Putinist Russia , that parallels the current war, as the backdrop (not the main focus) ok or not?

I think it's fine, just be careful about how you construct it.

 

[CourageousLife]

Anybody working on anything for Checkpoint Charlie?

 

[PobreCesar]

Yes, though I’m a bit crunched for time right now (lots going on) @CourageousLife

 

[CourageousLife]

With no submissions as of now, MotF 271: Checkpoint Charlie is being extended by a week.

Just a fun lil fact; as I was updating the wiki, I was calculating out the time each administrator had served the contest. If you take July 21st, 2009 as the official start date of the contest, we just recently passed 5000 days of MotF.

Is an epidemic/disease considerable as a natural disaster?

Is an epidemic/disease considerable as a natural disaster?

I'll defer to FEMA's list of Natural Hazards for this one. The occurrences listed are: avalanche, coastal flooding, cold wave, drought, earthquake, hail, heat wave, hurricane, ice storm, landslide, lightning, riverine flooding, strong wind, tornado, tsunami, volcanic activity, wildfire, and winter weather.
