Map plots

• Map updates usually occur fortnightly, so please do not repeatedly ask our cartographer when he next plans to update it.
• We require you to make at least six roleplay posts before we process your application for a map plot. This is to avoid people taking up a map plot one day, then going inactive the next.
  We ask, however, that you apply for a plot as soon as possible, even if you haven’t yet reached six roleplay posts;
• Please do not roleplay unclaimed territories on their behalf. You may, if required, use unclaimed territories as a way of ‘passing through’ to another country, but otherwise they should be left alone;
• Plots on the map are of varying sizes and shapes. Despite this, they are all of equal economic value, so you may roleplay how each territory is of economic worth at your own leisure;
• The Cartographer (and Roleplay Magistrate) reserves the right to refuse a claim on the map if you double park your map space (e.g. there's 12 plots in a small section and you claim the 6 in the middle, cutting the remaining 6 in half on either side of your country);
• The Cartographer (and Roleplay Magistrate) reserve the right to refuse a map claim that they deem to be unfair or unrealistic.
• The Cartographer also reserves the right to remove you from the map if you go inactive without a Leave of Absence for a period of more than 14 days

In addition to the above rules (and those in the main topic), please note:

• Nations must use the exact form, fill it out correctly, and then post it in this topic to have their claim processed;
• This is not a map of the whole world, but of currently-playable territories; and
• Claims will be processed in the order they are received. Therefore if two players claim the same plot and both have the required six posts it will be awarded to the player who claimed it first, otherwise it will be awarded to the player whose claim became valid first i.e. who reached six posts first. This is to avoid a lot of pending claims on unclaimed territory that would cause problems for newer players.
