Achilleus Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Why doesn't somebody make a chart of the current political situation (or combine it with historical situations), listing all the alliances like a family tree? You know, little boxes with words in 'em that are connected by lines forming ninety-degree angles. Anybody done that yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 You mean a treaty web? One did exist, a very good one I may add. Not sure if it's still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpdogg Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Sounds like we've got a volunteer. Edited November 15, 2009 by Grumpdogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D34th Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I would do a treaty web involving at least the blocs of CN and their alliances treaties using excel chart feature but I'm lazy so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilleus Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Hmm . . . I would do one myself if I remembered anything other than the abbreviation "GW" spewed about thither and there.

im317 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 You mean a treaty web? One did exist, a very good one I may add. Not sure if it's still around. there has not been an updated 2-D version since pre karma war. there is a 3-D module made by Bob Janova but its against the forum rules to link to the download for it.

Sylar Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah we seriously need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegemon Rob Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 may sound dumb but why exactly is it against the rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kremlin Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 The last treaty web I saw hurt my brain. Hopefully the post Karma war web will be less complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 may sound dumb but why exactly is it against the rules? I assume it falls under "no third party software." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromp Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Erm... I did this a year ago... Believe me, you don't want to see it, let alone do it yourself. Here's a link to a pic of the web as of 27th January 2008: http://i35.nonpermited image host.com/spc6e0.jpg Please, DO NOT try to make a 2-D treaty web. YOU WILL FAINT. Bob Janova's 3-D web is amazing though, so go to his thread if you want to see an up to date treaty cluster$%&@. Can be found here.

Achilleus Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I see how it would be hard, Tromp, but the 2-D one wouldn't be too difficult with sufficient organization. The problem is that there's no coherent center and no division of colors. Here's how it should go down: There should be different treaty webs for each Team; they should progress like a genealogical family tree, with extra notes where necessary; where there are overlapping treaties between alliances in different Teams, a subset family tree could be whipped out (that's where it would get confusing). I would start on this, but my intimate knowledge of CN politics is poor at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred von Tirpitz Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I would advise you to ignore team color completely while making this 2D web. Has no bearing on the web and would only complicate matters more. MS Visio might be a good tool to do this, having attempted this once, i can feel nothing but awe and admiration for your attempting it now.

Mixoux Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Dividing it into a color sphere web and a non-sphere web would make it slightly easier, since it would erase unnessecary lines on the latter. For example, Alliance A is blue and treatied to 8 different alliances, but 5 of those alliances are blue as well. Therefore on the color web Alliance A would have 5 lines, and on the 'main' treaty web, they would only have 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
