Try seed 1200, 1000 width and height, with 0.032 waterline.
Has huge landmasses plus some extra islands, and we can shift the center to get more stuff.
Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
This map, with -90 center latitude, and regular center latitude and 180 center longitude for pretty sweet results.
I dunno, I'd like to try for a seed where the majority of the landmass is within 45 degrees of the equator and there's nothing but sea at the poles.
This one is too amazing for your silly rules.
Condealism
163 kinda works
7623 with .015 water line.
Condealism
169 has a yuuge lake, and it kinda sorta follows my rules (needs more islands and archipelagos though)
That's pretty good
Also, if you move the center longitude around, you get more islands. 250 center puts you pretty much right on an island near some other islands.
So kind of like 3972146?
0.0125 water line
899923, water line -0.035.
Also I'm going to be taking notes for all these seeds so we can refer to them later.
jdin pls
I was looking at the map completely wrong it appears.
It helps not to use the Mars colour map.
Use Lefebvre2 color map, it makes land actually look like land and water actually look like water.
Condealism
...well that explains it.
Ooh, 189 could be good. 0 water level is nice, but it could stand to be a little lower.
Also, it possibly lessens the chance he'll run for pres in 2020, and he's a fairly electable Democrat.

Me likey.
Condealism
Don't forget 32. Also, wherever you have question marks, assume a water level of 0.
Miencraft
Later I'll also attach pictures to that dispatch so we can compare, but that'll be when we actually have to figure out what map we want to use.
Also, we need to figure out how to actually draw nations onto the map, but I think I can get that done just fine if y'all want me to curate.
Rateria, Condealism
Suits me just fine; I can't draw for sh*t.

189 with a water level of -0.015 <3 <3 <3
Actually, -0.02 might be more realistic

Also, I could probably use editing magic to squish the mercator one down so that it's not quite as skewed.
It'd probably look a little weird but it'd help resolve skew.

My tastes are all over the place, I can be found listening to bluegrass or jazz on some occasions.
But mostly rock. My favorite band is probably Skillet.
Narland, Rateria
I'm all over the place with music.
I usually listen to hip hop, old school and some underground stuff. Maybe a little Kendrick Lamar or Logic, J. Cole, some other stuff. I know most about this genre too.
I like classic rock, more into stuff like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, that sorta thing. Queen is probably my all time favorite band.
I like folk, like Cat Stevens a lot.
I like Irish Rebel music, mostly the Wolfe Tones and the Clancy Brothers.
Southern bluegrass, 2nd South Carolina Stringband is probably my favorite.
Minimum country, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, old school country. I can't stand this new pop-country Toby Keith type stuff.

Alternative rap and pop. As was as 50's music.
The Beatles, David Bowie, Dropkick Murphys (take back Northern Ireland!), Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Queen, ELO, Black Sabbath, and Vampire Weekend...Those are just the main artists I listen too, but anything from the 60s, 70s, 80s is a good listen for me!

[B]STATEMENT FROM THE SPEAKER OF THE SENATE[/B]
The Senate is currently in the midst of informal discussions ahead of Sunday's agenda-setting meeting, in which we will table the, erm, agenda for the following Week. So far, we've mentioned -
*Puppet procedure/possible reintroduction of the FRAUD Acts
*A constitutional amendment to define the powers of the presidency, which would include giving the president veto power, establish procedure for executive orders and shift the power to declare war and peace, and approve treaties, to the Senate
*Introducing a rule, law or amendment giving the Senate power to approve cabinet nominations
*Set a timetable for establishing a regional map
I am also going to propose a rule on the Senate floor tonight - or this afternoon, depending where you are in the world - establishing a quorum of 3 Senators (minimum amount of Senators needed to hold a vote) on regular legislation.
This is all discussion about a discussion, so nothing is set in stone yet. If anybody has any suggestions of your own, please speak up or telegram myself or another Senator.

I appreciate almost all forms of music. The infinite combination of melody, harmony, rhythm and lyric as an expression of math an beauty is exhilarating--or used to be before the head injury. Afterward most forms of music except for some Improvisational Jazz would trigger massive migraines. The instant migraines have since subsided so I can take music in in small measure, but It has taken several years to re-appreciate the art. Some of the forms enjoyed are Punk, Western, Baroque & Classical, Symphonic & Instrumental, Jazz & Blues, some film scores, Folk & Polka and Metal when listened in 45 minute chunks.
I am told that being a certain type of left-handed causes the music to be heard differently than most people. Lyrics are heard as an integral part within the melody, harmony, and rhythm as a cohesive interplay. If the lyrics are masterful as prose and poetry in their own right it accentuates the music like honey in a well crafted baklava. If the lyrics are puerile, obsequious, disparaging, vapid, arrogant or disingenuous it ruins the piece. It is as as though a reeking stench from a sofa can be hidden with some perfume, incense, and tossing Tic-Tac's (r)(c)tm all over it. The perfume, incense, and tic-tacs may go well together, but it cannot overcome the stench of the words.
It is better to list the types of music I do not like:
1. Rap music (especially ghetto rap) -- I still think hip-hop refers to that sub-genre of 50s dance rock-n-roll. When my ride to church plays JSON or LeCrea I remind myself that this music only lasts a few minutes but Hell is forever. :)
2. Pop and Country --Overly simplistic mind-numbing Pop and its inbred cousin Countrified Pop (sans Western). If it was pushed to the top of the charts by execs, sticks in the head like a Barry Manilow McDonald's commercial, children sing it repetitiously all day as though it were "The Wheels on the Bus," or psy-ops can use it as a method of torture to extract confessions this is to what I am referring--tastes may vary.
3. Disco -- The bumper sticker: "I'd Rather Chew Barbed Wire Than Listen To Disco." expresses my sentiments except for the chew part. This over-formulaic sound of the 70s is sure to vex anthropologists of the far future. Of course a little ABBA never hurt anybody (as far as we know).
Maybe I should have typed, "It's complicated."

Music is the ultimate individual aesthetic. If it evokes the passion of the soul, gets the toes tapping, or gives strength to make it another day, go for it. People's opinions on music help reveal who they are as individuals. I think rendering art to a statutory edict of acceptence and rites of passage misses the point of beauty entirely. Vive la différence!

Disco has really grown on me since I first got into 70s stuff.
Aw jeez, that really sucks about the head injury. I get migraines occasionally, not fun at all. Worst part is when my vision gets all messed up and I have to slowly accept the pain that is about to come.
I may deaf in both eyes but that doesn't mean I don't have feelings. :,(

I like a bit of 60s and 70s. I find a lot of it is either very dry or very sentimental so it's hard for me to get into, but there are some real gems in there, like some Hendrix stuff, Earth, Wind & Fire as I previously mentioned, and of course The King.
You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey Paul!
Who are you quoting? I've heard part of, if not all of, your statement.
