Commission: City Map

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Resolved that the Landsraad commissions MAKSYM HADJIMEHMETOV to map the city of Shirekeep and its environs on a scale of 2000x2000 in accordance with the business proposal outlined here, orders those Shireririthians interested in cartography to help him by gathering previous maps and descriptions of the city, and authorizes those Shirerithians who will be attending the London Convention to pay for his work in the form of British pounds or alcohol, whichever he should prefer.

[Harvey Steffke]

Eh, does this really need to be a formal resolution? Can't we just do it?

[Erik Mortis]

The Ministry of Cartography, through MiniInfo could commission it.

[Malliki Tosha]

Yup.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Well, Erik, that's you. Will you commission this for us, then?

[Maksym Hadjimehmetov]

I'd be more than happy to do this map for you, gentlemen!
I only hope that my cartographic skills are up to the task of doing justice to the capital city of the sector's oldest micronation- it's an honour, really. I would like a few pints of Cyder or Ale (or a car battery with a couple of litres of Tonic water emptied into it would do just as well) as payment in the mn meetup, as these maps really are a lot more work than they look.

I'll start trawling through ShireWiki and any posts on this forum to find relevant cultural development of Shirekeep I can depict on the map when I start it, which should be some time over the weekend. I'll certainly have it done by the summer meetup in London next year, or maybe even by January-February if I'm really speedy with it.

Shirereithans can also have a chance to have some input as to what their western neighbour's capital is like in the slightly humorous Walking Tour of Kolmenitzkiy. We need contributors to cover all of the 2500 x 2500 map of our capital with their witty anecdotes!

[Erik Mortis]

Just remember that the keep is at the tip of the fork.

And the Rivers Elwynn are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wide :P

Like the Yangtze.

[Erik Mortis]

Thus my trouble besieging the damn place.

[Andreas the Wise]

Your ancestor shouldn't have built it there, then, if you wanted to be able to beseige it easily in the future

[Maksym Hadjimehmetov]

Seeing as Shirereithan cultural works for future generations tend not to survive quite as long as their creators intended, I'm suspending my offer of drawing this map- which is a hell of a lot of time and effort on my part- until the development I did for K'Tzuni is treated with a modicum of respect by the Shirereithan administration.

[Erik Mortis]

ummmm... okey.

[Maksym Hadjimehmetov]

ummm... glad you think so...
