Instead of making the Sea of Ice a giant lake, why not just make the Sea of Ice thinner? It's called Sea of Ice for a reason, especially with the ability of the Icemen isn't it rather likelythat both sides can just walk across it up north close to the polar region? There might even be settlements of the Icemen on the other side.

I agree. I think the Sea of Ice can be much smaller, more along the lines of Lake Superior, to facilitate Icemen-Marat interaction. If you consider the itsy bit dividing Lake Superior and Michigan/Huron, you have an isthmus like what connects Alera to the Marat lands.

it's supposed to take place some day in the last two weeks of February, starting at around 3pm Eastern US time (hey, we europeans want to participate as well  ;) )

Those who want to join, please mark your available dates here: http://www.doodle.com/bvki5848gi7fk2uf

Is there any way to change an entry? I looked at the dates, but didn't check the time.  :-[ Can't make 3pm EST.

Actually, I think you are both correct, but it has to at least be bigger then the length of the Calderon Valley and then connect with the Marat continent after that. I'll make that change in the next revision. Also, by being an inland lake, it can freeze over in the winter and the Icemen can cross it to trade with the Marat. If the lake were too big, it wouldn't freeze over.

Tsunami is the creator of that poll. We'll have to wait for him. Actually, there aren't any times on the poll. I know we talked about having the chat in the afternoon so that our European Alerans don't have to be up till 3 am in the morning.

Out of curiosity, are any of the fans interested in the map chat living outside the US?

Both Kokolores and Tsunami are in Germany.

That answers my question!  Yeah, 3pm EST would probably be ideal.

I guess sometimes it's too easy... I looked over that page several times and didn't see that function.

Jep, that would be the way to go.


I don't know if it automatically comes out in english for you guys, since i created it in german.
If it doesn't, the language can be changed at the bottom of the Page.

I'm in the Philippines, so 3pm EST is 4am here. Since Kokolores and Tsunami probably have more value-add, I'll just bow out.

Darn. Wish there was a way to get this figured out. I'll see if I can figure out how to log the session so we have a transcript to be able to send you.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it. A transcript would be good in any case, so you'll have something to refer to when tweaking the map.

That's true, and I'll make sure I have your most recent questions in front of me so we can add them into the mix. It won't be like your being there but it will be something.
