A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

I play a daily game called travle and this map is actually the perfect way to learn the best moves

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

That game is awesome! Thanks for posting it!

That was a lot more fun that I thought it would be, thanks for sharing that

But Chile don't have border with Paraguay

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe it's based on the map before the Paraguay war, when Argentina took a chunk off of Paraguay.

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That was my first thought too!

I love how far Denmark is away form the rest of Scandinavia

Its a lot more recognizable (to me) rotated 90 degrees, so that north is up

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

It's using the most traditional map notation, with Orient up. The word orientation comes from that, by the way.

Instant travle win.

Would be cool with the border between Brazil and Fr*nce

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No exclaves were considered for this.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Was about to complain about the lack of connection between Poland and Russia.

[–] ramchak@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nor were several actual borders. Bolivia/Argentina for one

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

There were non existing borders too, like Paraguay and Chile. It's safe to say that up to date South American geography isn't the author's forte.
