Could you explain why?CNBA3 said:But it would still be inconsistent anyway compared to the estimated size of the ocean to Fiore which is all wrong.
Because the distance between the continents Ishgar (Fiore) and Alakitasia would be around the same distance as that of the Atlantic Ocean, as it takes 10 days to sail there, which contradicts the size on the map with Fiore, as it would make it smaller than what the 400 km distance would makeAgnaa said:Could you explain why?CNBA3 said:But it would still be inconsistent anyway compared to the estimated size of the ocean to Fiore which is all wrong.
I don't understand. Why is the ocean between those continents small? Why do you assume a particular speed of sailing? What map gives the size of the ocean?CNBA3 said:Because the distance between the continents Ishgar (Fiore) and Alakitasia would be around the same distance as that of the Atlantic Ocean, as it takes 10 days to sail there, which contradicts the size on the map with Fiore, as it would make it smaller than what the 400 km distance would make
A calc leading to a bad result if you stack more pixel scaling on top of it doesn't invalidate the original calc. |
No, they are different maps. They are of the same area, but there's differences in how they're drawn.CNBA3 said:They are of the same map as they leave from the same country as Fiore as it still has a similar shape and geographic features, It would still be inconsistent anyway regardless.
I disagree, and I outlined why above.DemonGodMitchAubin said:@CNBA3
That doesn't matter, there can still be large countries, the planet size isn't necesarily restricted to be just earth size, it's that there isn't enough info to imply it being bigger, but it still possibly could be, meaning it's not restricting things smaller than it on the planet, either way, I'm not arguing on this since everyone else agrees with me
I wouldn't be so fussed about this if the maps were the same, but the stark differences between landmarks, as I pointed out above, make me not really trust pixel scaling to the maps. But if I'm in the minority, I'm in the minority.DemonGodMitchAubin said:That one statement is far more reliable than using boat speed as a measurement, It's not perfect but it is the best we have, using in verse measurements is far more reliable than other assumptions that use boat speed as a measurement
Not to mention no one has actually presented opposing ways and other evidence to measure the size for the country, we pixel scale plenty of other stuff this way, I don't see how this is that big of an issue, I'm ok with limiting most Planet sizes to Earth size, but the country size should stay the same
I agree with this as well.Antvasima said:I think that this seems to make sense.
Is somebody willing to write a draft text for this? I might be able to improve on the text flow afterwards.The Calaca said:We dismiss every size that has to be calculated to be larger than Earth if there is no indication that said planet is larger, either by confirmation (author giving a number) or by suggestion (the planet showing features like having rings) and use Earth size.
Thank you. I forgot how to use bulletpoints.Antvasima said:I slightly modified the post to more closely follow our standard structure for this sort of thing.
