Seems to me that you are being arbitrary and capricous as hell.

You stated no such limitations whatsoever in your earlier post.

Second, the two islands in green weren't labled, and the mainland territory of Groot is far away from those islands, so how is one to know? I'm more than willing to accept another island or two for that particular puppet for planned ongoing roleplay purposes (ask Bears, for we that that conversations a couple of years ago) ANd for the other one, you didn't even esponse. That one has to be in the tropics (hurricanes, after all) and neither of them are schnauzerlands to begin with.

And I do not see why you can't subdivided the two existing islands that are already in the schnauzerlands as I ask. That isn't even a grant of new space just a new internal border.

I still disagree that the request for Neu Grosseschnauzer is even unreasonable in any way. The amount of territory sought is minimal and continguous with existing areas. Or is this a situation where you are treating us unequally and irrationally s opposed to everyone else?

If you read up, I denied Laeral's request for more land too, so I don't believe this is an issue of people treating you unfairly or capriciously.

Secondly, "how is one to know" - I'm sure I said on the RMB, and elsewhere, that anything not coloured in was free to claim.

Thirdly, I respect completely any conversations you might have had with Bears Armed, but I am the cartographer, not he.

I can subdivide the existing islands for you, that won't be a problem.

Finally, if I grant that to you (which is contested, other plays have asked for land in that area, but I have declined to offer it to anyone while it is contested), you will have a significant portion of land, more than anyone else, and that is not equitable. If you disbelieve me, I can mock up a crude diagram to show how disproportionate the divvying out would have been.

Capping the number of nations I will add to 3 per person, including their main nation, is very generous compared to other regional maps. You have twice that and I'm grandfathering you in. You're not losing any. I don't think you're being treated unequally at all, I think actually you're being treated as a special case. I have literally no reason to treat you different - I've capped Bears Armed too - he's not getting any more land either.

Edit: I also just want to say that this is a time consuming job and that, while I'm happy to do it, I don't have time for arguments over map placements or people not getting what they want. Please can people respect the fact I work full-time and do this in my free-time? I spent almost my entire weekend - my birthday weekend, in actuality - working on this map for people. It's volunteering for a web-game and I'd appreciate if people took it in that spirit and not that I'm out to get anyone, which is ridiculous. I'm NS site staff for goodness sake, if I singled people out and treated them unfairly I'd be in trouble.
