Following text is based on my questions to Namhas, english in it sucks but who cares? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is Majik's current map only another side of the world (for example like america is in another side and europe in another side)? - I don't know Do the both continents reach all the way either to the north or to the south? - No How far is it to the most northern or southern part of majik? - The distance is immense, but people don't know it, they just think that world ends there (when the map ends). Is Majik a globe - I think it is Does majik rotate like earth? - Why should majik rotate? Though, sun rotates around majik be cause of balance between Sinister and Aluna. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I asked these questions because I'm making weather descs and it would be nice to make them realistic (well, as realistic as I can make with my meager knowledge of weather). Those were just part of the questions which I was going to ask but then I got a idea which I presented to Namhas. It's nothing unique but I sug gested that instead of normal days and seasons, we could have one large "day". Because sun would circle majik once in a year, this would mean we had about 6 month darkness in whole majik and 6 month light (well not ac tually, since there would be completely dark only in midwinter and vise versa) which would mean 2rl months darkness and 2rl months daylight. (re member 1 rl month is 3 months in majik..if I just remembered right by myself :P ). I think it would be cool to have those dark periods. Mages could create artificial suns to light towns. It could be also time when evil creatures would walk around the Majik and people stay inside their cities shuddering in fear. This also would somewhat ease my weather work and as far as I know there is no such system in any other game, right? So give me your opinion about this subject. - Beregar (Beregar@majik.netti.fi)
