All well, this is just a few updates on what I have done this past May.
First of all, I am happy that hear the results of the new flags and name of AR120. I am giving my best wishes to all (now and future) mappers and coordinators of the Federal States, and make FSA great (giving my congrats to Isleno for his flag, I like the flag, the best I have ever seen amongst the nominations). I am also pleased that eklas took over Gigante and Verona Coffee (pause for a coffee break before reading further).
Some more good news, my request at Wikipedia for an unblock has been approved. I thought that my request for an unblock was forgotten or unread. (anyone interested see here) Well, back to fixing up some Singapore MRT/LRT articles, and wikify some real stuff instead of trying to churn out stuff for Singkangia or anything fictional. (Singkangia is now by and large RIP, so if anyone is still using Singkangia, please remove all any links to the country)
Speaking of wiki, I have also just signed up for Geopoeia where I am bringing more of my wiki work from the OGF wiki there. The sad thing is that I am not allowed to upload too many pictures yet, apart from a few flags which have been lying around on my desktop for some time. I still have not saved some of my pics from the OGF wiki, so I still need some time this June to save all of them. I am going to recycle all of Singkangia's elements into my future fictional countries (for example see here). There is not much to develop yet, but I am still making plans. I thought of making Kanglapo as some sort of semi-rogue nation, with nuclear capabilities like North Korea, but with the economy as successful as South Korea. It has strained relations particularly with the AN and the Federal States, which continuously imposed trade sanctions onto the country.
For mapping, I decided to map in the Pretanic Faction State for now. The mapping style will be similar to parts of Biangsinglia and Kanglapo (probably remnants of a communist dictatorship regime, see here). I have plans to move some of my stuff in Singkangia to Elhadia and collaborate there, but so far I have not heard from Sarepava so far. I am going to relinquish my territory very soon once I am done.
There has been so much going on lately, particularly a change of governance in Malaysia which is affecting Singapore in some way, such as the scrapping of the HSR project. The US is threatening to cancel North Korea-US talks (but there are indications he may change is mind, or maybe he already did). The Russians were blamed for shooting down MH17 with a missile. The Philippines are planning to go an all-out war with China over the South China Sea dispute, Taiwan is losing allies as China is 'buying over' some of these.
Basically, now, I am taking a break from OGF, though now and then I check for any updates. So I did not really 'disappear' from the site this past few days. I am still hitting the snooze button before going on any mega mapping project. (Back to coffee break: "The coffee is great! How much?" "25 Drabantian Koruna please." "What?! Just for this dirt?!" "You just said it is great." "Well.. (splutters)... can I pay by Visa? I have not enough cash around me, sir." "Sorry, we don't accept Visa, it does not exist in the OGF world.")
