darkmoon72 2 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I played through it. I like the scenario. I'm not sure why all the Democrats start out with $3 billion, meanwhile the Republicans start out with only $25 million. But I decided to make do with the limited resources I had. I think I still had about $2.7 billion left by the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was actually a map made on my request in 2009 by a poster named @Rz9392, whom I haven't seen for a while, for a Georgia scenario I had planned by P4E2008 that never got off the ground. It was made that way to better fit ALL those in the default TheorySpark game map dimensions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maps can be made with any direction at the top. Many Australian maps have South at the top. The Romans put West at the top of their maps. North was established as the top by Europeans who saw themselves as above Africans, and made maps that reflected that world view. Mapmaking has long been political. Why do you think the Mercator projection, made in the 1500's, is still the predominant world map in Europe and the US? Because it makes Europe and North America look bigger while Africa and South America look smaller. Mercator is great if you want to navigate the Atlantic using a sextant. As a tool to show what the world looks like, it's awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love how a simple point about how in convention mapmaking North goes on top turned into a that about the Mercator projection when Robinson also puts north on top Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the topic, as @pilight was articulating, was on how subjective compass point directions as cardinal on maps were. In that way, they are indeed relevant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But any of those projections can be turned to have a different orientation. They would be no less accurate. Geography has nothing to say about the subject. North being on top is a convention spread by people who live in the north. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mahlerman2000 1 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yeah, I'll get to fixing the candidate amounts, as well as adding the Libertarian Party candidates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mahlerman2000 1 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hey guys, version 2.0 is out. New additions include: The Libertarian Party, with 2 candidates, Ted Metz and Doug Craig as @jvikings1 graciously pointed out. The primary system for the Libertarian Party is unique, in that I chose to make it the County Unit System of yore (for those of you interested, read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_unit_system) Second, the fundraising issue is fixed. All candidates now have $100k in primaries and $25M if starting in general. Plenty of other minor fixes, but those are the main two ones. Let me know if anything else should change.
