KERBIN'S GEOGRAPHY: DIVING THE MAP
Hey guys, IIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M BAAAAAAAAAAA-AAACK!
And I come bearing gifts! Ever made a post where you want to refer to a PLACE but then suddenly realize that there are no actual names for those places? No? Well I do, so shut up andlisten read.
So, I broke out my trusty ole fill tool and went to work. I've come up with three suggestions we can use: I've added in all the names of the oceans, but haven't made new ones for the continents, since I figured that should be a group decision (though I will just find a handy generator online if nobody puts forward any suggestions.)
#1: PANGEA AND A QUARTER
I don't like this one, but technically, Kerbin is composed of a single giant supercontinent and several islands, so I had to present it as an option. Please note that I've made some changes to the ocean names: I've changed "Veiid sea" and "Wakrian sea" to "ocean" because they are both far too big to be called "seas." I've also chosen to put "Deassic Ocean" instead of "Sea of Daz" because the largest body of water on the planet should not be called a "Sea." NOTE: please excuse the little bits of yellow or the islands that I couldn't be bothered changing since this version is useless anyway and is only here because it has to be.
#2: CARVING UP THE MAP
This one basically puts two new "Europe/asia" style imaginary lines on the map. The first, between pink and blue, is where a line of lakes cuts the already small land connection in half. The second, between pink and purple, is where the connection is an already tiny North/South America style land bridge.
#3: CARVING SOME MOAR
This one makes two more imaginary lines: one, at the northern tip of the Tau, where the continent bends back on itself like Europe and Africa, and the other, in Avienne, where we once again have a small connection between two really fat piles of rock.
So, which one do you guys prefer? Is there another version that you want me to make (I expect a few people might want be to get rid of the Avian line, for one.) Leave your questions, comments and constructive criticism in the comments section below and don't forget to like and sub--oh wait.

That's not the tau! That's the Kolusian sea! The tau is between the Deassic and Northern Oceans.

The tau sea is just north of your nation.

I'd say that the Veiid should remain where it is, because it's separated from the southern ocean by that big island, and is further divided in 2 by the two small islands in the strait.

Re: KERBIN'S GEOGRAPHY: DIVING THE MAP
Yeah, I don't think the oceans are really in question here. But could we have some sort of vote on which continent model we should use? I for one think that having continents to refer to would be very useful in general RPing, and at any rate it would increase the immersion. At least if we do this we won't be stuck with "it's north/south of Kafrica" or "that island that used to be Angvarden."

From the three proposals, I'd choose the third one.

Re: KERBIN'S GEOGRAPHY: DIVING THE MAP
The map you posted looks cool Mystic, but Firesvar and Young Kolus seem to be a bit arbitrary, as are the lines between Doren and Wakria (though I understand your choice with the latter, as that group of lakes does seem to split the continent in half.) What I don't understand, however, is why you created the Sea of Chrysas, when there is nothing dividing it and the Veiid. (Again, I understand why you might have done it, as the edge of the map can be a bit confusing.) Another thing I don't really get is why you've used the word "sea" for all the oceans. However, the names are inventive and cool and I can agree with you on most of the borders.
