On the subject of nice, clean borders...

[Jorlem]

I just saw this clip from The Daily Show, and am posting it here, as it is most relevant to the V2 time period, and to the general desire for pretty borders that I've seen throughout the Paradox forum:

I hope you found it as amusing as I did.

Making fun of british imperialism is fun.

 

[The Bishop]

Ah, Sir Mapsalot knows what it's all about!

 

[North_Wolf]

This really does make me wonder how many needless disasters I have caused in all my Paradox games by making decisions based on neat lines.

Sir. Mapsalot is obviously an unnoticed and ridiculed genius, and he knows that map making is a sophisticated art form meant only for educated gentlemen, not the unwashed masses. Great looking borders are what separate a perfect and glorious empire from an uncivilized Neanderthal tribe.

Crafting a masterpiece is not an easy thing, and our hard labor for perfection goes unnoticed by illiterate peasants in our nation. Therefore I suggest that Paradox develops an system that gives us free conquest/liberate CB whenever Earth borders look atrociously bad so we finally can achieve our long time dream of perfect borders across the entire globe. :happy:

I find it funny given this is what Victoria 2 players inevitably ends up doing whenever they decide to get ahold of prettier borders... *eyes all of her games* Can't claim to be innocent in this! Besides I'm spreading the glory of scandinavian socialism, freedom, industry, free press and constitutional monarchy to everyone! Clearly -EVERYONE- wants this! :laugh:

 

[podcat]

laughing my ass off ;D

"Now introducing Victoria 2 - Ruler Border Designer. This new DLC comes with an exclusive ruler, to design your new straight, clean borders."

In all seriousness though, Sir Mapsalot could've used a ruler. Some of those borders look outright sloppy.

Well that was funny, moreover when America makes fun of English imperialism

edit: I'm talking of the stupid comments on Youtube, no way to reproduce the same dumb situation on this mature forum !

Yeah, at least we had the cojones to build an actual empire with puttees and maps and crayons, not this pansy 'soft' American abomination founded on crappy music videos and drone strikes.

I don't care that you were joking, I want you guys to do this dlc like right now; I WAS PROMISED CLEAN BORDERS PARADOX

I WILL HAVE MY CLEAN BORDERS

Oh look, Americans making fun of the British. How un-original and tiring.

 

[DrakoBlare]

Oh look, Americans making fun of the British. How un-original and tiring.

To be fair it was pretty funny.

 

[Chewy Yui]

To be fair it was pretty funny.

Yeah, a little, but still

 

[Duke of Awesome]

It wasn't making fun of the British, it was making fun of imperialism.

 

[Icendoan]

It wasn't making fun of the British, it was making fun of imperialism.

And we ought to remember that nobody does imperialism quite like the British! Really, though, Sir Mapsalot should be out of a job. There is no room for borders in the Glorious Empire!

 

[Grubnessul]

How does one draw borders in an empire that rules the globe?:huh:

 

[ShadowGamer42]

How does one draw borders in an empire that rules the globe?:huh:

We only ruled most of the globe. And don't forget the de-facto control of economics...

To be honest, the topic is unoriginal but the execution is making me laugh. Though the fact that it's British Imperialism, using British ideologies with the evil British is a better OTT... =/ Sour that we had the biggest empire in the world, America?

 

[Tufto]

good one. Though you can point out that America was just as bad.
