Caveat: October, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

Here is detailed user summary data for October, for our main imaginary map server. These results are ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

display_name user_id count_changesets count_nodes count_ways count_rels count_objects

Caveat: August, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

Here is a detailed user summary data for August. These results are ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

display_name user_id count_changesets count_nodes count_ways count_rels count_objects

Caveat: Paine River

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort brag-post for this week is showing the “twin towns” of Glensheen and Paine River, in the southeast part of the state of Makaska. Like all of region surrounding metropolitan Ohunkagan, these towns are currently stuck in a time-warp, sometime around 1920, as I try to develop the whole region chronologically. In the 1920’s, Glensheen, with its active port and industrial base, far exceeded Paine River in size. However, my expectation is that by the contemporary era, the towns will have equalized in size, as the industrial base in Glensheen declines and the exurban clout of Paine River grows. Paine River will be the modern southernmost terminus of a commuter rail line all up and down the “Silicon Shore” south of central Ohunkagan. The farm and forestlands are still a bit schematic, and need detailing, but the basics are definitely in place. I’m particularly pleased with how you can see the interaction of topography and landuse in the topo view.

Here is the area in regular view.

Caveat: Midesapa

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort brag-post for this week is the central part of a city called Midesapa, in the northern part of the state of Makaska. It’s a rust-belt city on a river that connects two large lakes, so in that sense it occupies an economic position similar to Detroit, but it’s a much smaller city, with maybe 200k in the metropolitan area. There is still much detailing to be added but the basics are there.

Caveat: July, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

Here is a detailed user summary data for July. These results are ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

Caveat: Yojándara

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort brag-post for this week is a pre-colonial coastal village called Yojándara, in the country called Ardesfera. It is near to the city of Arbaronga, on an island just off the coast. In the “present day” (modern era) this is a tourist-oriented area near the big city, reachable by ferry, with a quaint village and restored ruins. The mapping of the area currently on the map, seen here, is a historical snapshot at around 1450, before the Ulethan colonists from Ingerland and Castellan showed up.

Screenshot of the map window on the OpenGeofiction site, showing an area mapped of an area on a seashore, with lots of detail, including a village and a temple

Caveat: Arbaronga

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort brag-post for this week is a pre-colonial hilltop fortress city called Arbaronga, in the country called Ardesfera. In the “present day” (modern era) this is not far from the center of the vast metropolis of Villa Constitución, which is the capital and largest city of Ardesfera. The fortress city remains as a grouping of restored ruins, a historical tourist attraction. The mapping of the city currently on the map, seen here, is a snapshot at around 1450, before the Ulethan colonists from Ingerland and Castellan showed up. The fortress area at the hilltop is mostly complete, but I haven’t mapped much of the surrounding area, meant to be covered in intensive agriculture. In the modern era, this is all city.

Caveat: June, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

Here is a detailed user summary data for June. These results are ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

Caveat: Grants-Hogarth University and surrounds

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort brag-post for this week is the neighborhood around Grants-Hogarth University, in the imaginary city of Ohunkagan (including an enclave jurisdiction called University Village). The mapping is currently in a time-warp, not yet having reached 1920, and it’s not really complete, but I’m running out of things to post. There are some easter-egg type jokes in the map, including “Chomsky Hall” near the intersection of Government Avenue and Binding Road, thus near the Government & Binding station on the elevated railway.

Screenshot of the map window on the OpenGeofiction site, showing an area mapped of an area around a lakeshore with lots of detail, including a university campus and a golf course

This neighborhood is found on the opengeofiction map here: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/-42.3298/146.0850&layers=B

Caveat: Ragged River

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort bragpost for this week is something I created last month. This is a small town (maybe 8000 residents) in the northeast of my imaginary state of Makaska, named Ragged River, with a matching, smaller community across the parish boundary, called Howard. I haven’t completed it, especially the rural surroundings, but it’s complete enough to show I guess.

Here’s a screenshot of the location.

Screenshot of the map window on the OpenGeofiction website, showing the towns of Ragged River and Howard, on opposite sides of a river; the state boundary is along the larger Chajewanicha River running from southeast to northwest

The link to the slippy map is here: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-15.1153/146.7819&layers=B

Caveat: May, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

Here is a detailed user summary data for May. These results are ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

Caveat: Irhoborin

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

My low-effort bragpost for this week was created around 6 years ago. It is a bit more dystopian than usual. For the most part, my geofictions are neither dystopian nor utopian – rather, they just represent an alternate reality which is much like our own, full of both good and bad. This was an effort to create something a bit darker. It’s a refugee camp, in a poorly-defined (quite incomplete) war-torn country with serious social problems and poverty and a negligent government. Perhaps somewhat inspired by Somalia or 1970’s southeast Asia.

The Irhoborin refugee camp is vast: it has a population of tens of thousands, all in these tents in grids with additional tens of thousands in improvised shacks between and among and surrounding the gridded tent areas. I actually wrote up a fairly detailed “lore” for this place, at one time, and have an archived copy of it here.

Here’s a screenshot of the location.

Screenshot of the map window on the OpenGeofiction website, showing the patchworked grids of the Irhoborin refugee camp and some surrounding, chaotically-laid-out communities

Caveat: April, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

Here is a detailed user summary data for April (I’ve decided to do these monthly). These are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

April, 2023, in OGF

Caveat: The Planet Rahet

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort bragpost for this week is a whole ‘nother planet: Rahet. I think I’ve written before about Rahet, but it’s been a few years, maybe.

Rahet is a “slippy map” planet, on the OSM platform, just like Ogieff (opengeofiction.net) or Arhet (arhet.rent-a-planet.com). For a long time, Rahet was languishing with a moribund render and no api server. But I recently got both up and running again such that it’s just as easy to edit and update the Rahet map as it is for those other planets. Unlike those other planets, though, Rahet is just mine – I haven’t opened it up to other mappers and I don’t intend to. It’s meant to be the setting for a sci-fi novel that I occasionally work on, started some 30 years ago. The map is pretty spare – filling a whole planet is of course utterly impossible.

Here’s a screenshot of the planet.

Screenshot of the map window on the Rahet website, showing the whole planet, zoomed out, with some continents and a few country names

The link to the slippy map is here: https://rahet.rent-a-planet.com/#map=3/-12.04/-21.97&layers=R

Caveat: March, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

Because the January and February reports were popular on the OGFC Discord, I’ve extracted detailed user summary data for March. These are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

March, 2023, in OGF

Meanwhile, in unrelated technical news, the OGF overpass crashed last night. I started out with an ambition to maybe get a new instance of overpass running, with some corrections to the original install configuration to prevent these random segmentation faults from occurring, but I became increasingly frustrated. Overpass is badly documented, and horrendously opaque, and in the end I simply didn’t have the knowledge or patience to do it. So I reloaded (rebuilt) the database in the existing instance, despite all its known problems, and have let it go at that, for now.

If any overpass dev or maintainer happens to read this, just know that I said cusswords about you this morning.

Caveat: Stroadland

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

My low-effort bragpost for this week is an area of Makaska I have called Stroadland. It’s a bit of a joke, of course. I posit a pioneer in the area with the name Stroad, who is thus memorialized in the name. But of course “stroad” is a currently popular term for major streets in North American, car-oriented suburban development. Not really a street, not really a road: a stroad.

I still have a lot of detailing I want to add. I’ve only named a few stores or amenities, for example. I have a goal to make something that could easily be mistaken for OSM at zoom=15. I don’t think I’m there yet, but I’m making progress.

Here is a screenshot showing the area.

Here is a link to the area on the OGF slippy map: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-41.2515/145.8573&layers=B

Caveat: Infrastructural changes

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

Rather than my standard weekly low-effort brag post, last week I posted some user statistics for OGF.

This week, I’ll again forego the brag-post and simply announce that, effective today, this blog is residing on a new server. The old server is something I have been wanting to shut down for some time – it’s running Ubuntu 18.04 and it’s not co-located with any of my any other servers. So I’m finally getting around to upgrading to this new server, which is located alongside all my other servers (in Fremont, California) and is running Ubuntu 22.04 (the most recent LTS version). This should help me keep up with the Joneses – so to speak.

This is only one of about 10 different blogs hosted on the old blog server (not all mine, but all hosted by me). I still have to do the others. This one was first, as the “guinea pig” – having the simplest format and hopefully easiest to rebuild. The old server also, inconveniently, runs the Arhet render and my personal wiki. So those things will have to be moved, too.

There should only be minor changes apparent to visitors on the site. If you see major issues, let me know via comment, email, OGF site DM, or on the OGFC discord. Thanks.

Incidentally, this blog celebrated it’s 5th birthday yesterday. So that’s a good time to upgrade.

Caveat: Some user statistics for OGF

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

I decided to play around more with some queries on the OGF API database.

I extracted detailed user summary data for January and February of this year, and put each month in a separate table.

For January, these are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).

Notably, the active user counts for these two months are almost identical, with 279 for January and 281 for February.

For those who are interested in the technical side, here is a sample of  the query I ran on the API database. It’s really quite simple once you get the syntax right.

Caveat: Kshang Lands

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

This weeks low-effort brag-post is a new topo area for the Kshang Native Lands area in the country of Rhododactylia. Rhododactylia is not my “owned” territory, rather, it’s a free-to-edit public space on the map server. Posting mapping in these public areas is a bit fraught – various individuals come along and vandalize, alter, and otherwise mess with one’s creative work. But Rhododactylia seems to draw a higher-quality mapper than many of the public areas on the OGF server, such that I feel some hope this work will be respected and added to.

I originally created the Kshang Lands in around 2016 I think. But I recently decided to take my passion for detailed contour mapping and apply it to a free-to-edit area, and this seemed like a great place to try.

The Kshang are one of the native people in Rhododactylia, overwritten by colonists. Just like the real world, right? Anyway, they have a fairly prosperous economy in their little hilly center of the country.

Here is a screenshot showing the roughed in topo area.

Caveat: Conagher Rail Car Company

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

My low-effort brag post for the week is the Conagher Rail Car Company, in southwest Ohunkagan. Remember that the city of Ohunkagan, as currently mapped, is stuck sometime in the late 1910’s. So this is the height of the railroad industry and this rail car company plant is conceptually modeled on something like the old Pullman Rail Car company in south Chicago, maybe. I used old maps of the Pullman factory as a guide for laying out this factory.

Caveat: White Earth Agency

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

My low-effort brag post for the week is something I uploaded just this very moment – some detail (buildings, streets, a few schools/churches/businesses) for the town of White Earth Agency, a rural county seat in southern Makaska, but also the “capital” of the Federated Tribes, a fictional kind of “league of native reservations” that helps empower the native peoples of Makaska and neighboring Ooayatais Province, coordinating social services, advocacy and similar.

Caveat: Goodgrove

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

For this week’s low-effort brag-post of my geofiction, I’m taking a detour off the OpenGeofiction site and going to my other map-server, the planet called Arhet. I built this map-server before rebuilding the OpenGeofiction site – it a sense, it ended up as a kind of audition for being considered qualified to take over OGF. Anyway, there are far fewer users on Arhet, it’s a much smaller server, and it’s quite a bit more chaotic – there is no effort to create a coherent “world” the way that we do on OpenGeofiction. It’s just little map-snippets the various users are working on. Unlike OGF, there are no constraints on realism. That’s why I put this bit of mapping on Arhet.

Goodgrove is the “start town” for a MUD (“multi-user-dungeon” – a type of text-based old-school computer game) I was desigining for a while, with a working title of Hellbridge. That work is definitely dormant – I haven’t worked on it in years. The setting is a kind of semi-steampunk, semi-swords-and-sorcery setting. But I had the novel idea that I could create a detailed map of the world, much higher quality than that typically associated with MUD’s, and that I could even go in the direction of having some kind of “player locator” icon on some customized presentation of the map. So you would be moving around the game-world and meanwhile you could be logged into a website hosting a slippy map of the world, and you could see an icon that placed your location in that world.

I still think it’s a compelling and clever idea, and within the realm of what I could conceivably create, but I simply didn’t have the energy or gumption to push forward with it. But the starter town of Goodgrove was mapped down to every detail, and every single node on the in-game map has a corresponding node on this OSM-style map. It’s not meant to be strictly realistic – it’s a game map for a fantasy setting, not meant to represent any verisimilitudinous place.

Caveat: Country Club Alameda, Ohunkagan

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

My low-effort brag-post for this week is a neighborhood called “Country Club Alameda, in the imaginary city of Ohunkagan. The mapping is currently in a time-warp, not yet having reached 1920, but there’s an intersection of two streetcar routes at 63rd Avenue and Melville Street, and a golf course southwest of that.

Caveat: MundoMar

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

My low-effort geofiction bragpost for the week is a theme park called MundoMar in the country of Ardesfera.

I’m not  as good at what’s called detailed or micro-mapping, but I thought this was a good effort. It’s a maritime-themed theme park, maybe somewhat modeled on Sea World – though I haven’t visited Sea World in about 50 years.

The surroundings to the theme park are not as well mapped, and the farther afield you go, the more embarrassed I am by the work. Much of this mapping is from my first year on the opengeofiction site (2014), when I was still learning how to use the tools and figuring out what was possible in the realm of “slippy map geofiction”.

Here is a screenshot of the spot:

Caveat: Quelepa

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

For this week’s low-effort bragpost, I’m sharing my pre-modern ceremonial capital, Quelepa. The plan that I had, long ago, was to create this circa 1400’s city, in the style of maybe a Mayan or Aztec city, and then overlay a modern city over it, using a historical mapping process. But I never got around to it, so the city is still there, in a kind of anachronistic reservation within the otherwise modern country of Ardesfera. That explains the bit of railroad seen in the lower left of the screenshot.

I was especially pleased with the city because it conformed to the already-drawn contours (topo) for the region. I also did some minor work on a conlang for the culture involved, which I used to name all the various temples included.

Caveat: OpenGeofiction Aggregate Active User Data (Since Migration)

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

I decided to try to brush off some very rusty SQL skills and write a query against the OGF database to find out what our monthly active user counts looked like.

This data can only be compiled accurately for dates since the “migration”, which was in August, 2021. Before that changesets are not properly dated as they were all loaded at once from the old instance (Thilo’s) to the new instance (Luciano’s).

I decided to categorize unique user counts for each month by their “start year” (e.g. a user like myself would be under start year 2014). That way I could also see how old “generations” of users drop off over time.

I started with a nested SQL query, which is basically what I used to do professionally about 20 years ago, but it’s been a while since I wrote raw queries against complex data like this. It comes back fairly quickly though, and this is definitely the result of a little bit of trial and error. I’m working with two tables in the openstreetmap PostgreSQL database: users and changesets. I’m counting changesets by the month they occur and by a breakdown of users by when they started using the OGF site (with a special category for users who are “new” in the month they are active).

Here’s the query I made and ran at the PSQL prompt on the server (these data structures are all public knowledge, part of the OSM specification, so I don’t feel worried sharing it).

SELECT
 t.changeset_month,
 t.user_first_year,
 t.new_user_flag,
 COUNT(DISTINCT t.user_id) AS count_users,
 COUNT(t.changeset_id) AS count_changesets
FROM (
  SELECT
   i.changeset_id,
   i.changeset_month,
   i.user_id,
   LEFT(i.creation_month, 4) AS user_first_year,
   CASE
    WHEN i.creation_month = i.changeset_month
    THEN 'new_user'
    ELSE 'old_user'
   END AS new_user_flag
  FROM (
    SELECT
     to_char(changesets.closed_at, 'YYYY-MM') AS changeset_month,
     changesets.user_id AS user_id,
     changesets.id AS changeset_id,
     to_char(users.creation_time, 'YYYY-MM') as creation_month
    FROM changesets INNER JOIN users
    ON users.id = changesets.user_id
    WHERE changesets.closed_at >= '2021-10-01'::date
    AND changesets.closed_at <= '2022-12-31'::date
  ) AS i
) AS t
GROUP BY
 t.changeset_month,
 t.user_first_year,
 t.new_user_flag
ORDER BY
 t.changeset_month,
 t.user_first_year,
 t.new_user_flag DESC;

Here’s the raw output I got.

I plugged these data into a spreadsheet, did a few changes and a pivot table. Here’s a graph of the result.

The top band, in light blue, is the “new users” band – these are users each month who are active in their first month of joining OGF. The lower bands represent each year back to OGF’s founding, in 2012 (there were only 2 users in the first year, Thilo and Joschi).

Based on that graph, I would say really OGF is quite stable. We acquire a certain number of new users each month, we lose about an equal proportion of old users, but some subset of long-term users stick around.

Caveat: Springfield

[This is a cross-post from my other blog]

I felt that my faux-midwestern state, Makaska, would need a “Springfield” – doesn’t every real US state have a “Springfield”?

For this week’s low-effort brag-post of my mapping on OpenGeofiction, I’ll post this view of Springfield. Unlike most other parts of Makaska where I’ve mapped, this is not being done chronologically. It’s meant to represent the modern state of the map. I don’t feel it’s complete, but a lot is done – at least 65% done I’d say.

Caveat: Faux-midwestern, rural Makaska

[This is a cross-post from my other blog.]

This is my low-effort map-brag of the week. This is quite recent work – mostly done in the last year or so. It’s in the central-south of my imaginary faux-US-midwestern state of Makaska. Like most of Makaska, this region is being drawn “historically” – which is to say, I’m trying to add features and such in a rough chronological order. As such, this still incomplete mapping is stuck somewhere in the very early 1900’s right now, and still needs quite a bit of work before I’d even feel comfortable to advance the calendar.

Caveat: Still my proudest geofiction

[This is cross-posted from my other blog.]

For this week’s low-effort post reviewing my geofiction work on opengeofiction, I’ll present what I still consider my “masterpiece” – it’s the best bit of geofiction I’ve created for any OSM-style platform (i.e. opengeofiction.net or arhet). I did this work mostly in 2015-2016.

That’s my island city-state called Tárrases. It includes a well-wrought contour layer.

Caveat: Poem #2335 “A fragment of Mahhalian cosmology”

ㅁ
wingsnake came dark, lighting and clouds and rain
monkey and raven grinned and danced
benevolent orca sailed the surrounding sea

when monkey killed the wingsnake at deity encompassing darkness's garden tree
the wingsnake was not dead but burrowed down
the monkey was hunted, deity darkness was deceived by wingsnake
monkey fled to the mountain
raven made a plan with monkey
but first needed orca's help
trick orca into bringing the sun
and they make humans from moss and discarded bones

deity darkness is defeated
but each year returns

in the beginning the sea serpents had wings

– a free-form poem. I wrote this sometime around 2016 – it is an outline of some cosmological material for my imaginary world called Mahhal. I recently found it in some old notes (having forgotten about it).

Caveat: Provincia de Amor

As I said last week – I’m going to try to do a low-effort post of past or current geofiction work once a week. [This is cross-posted from my other blog]

For this week, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for my years living in South Korea. So I decided to post a geofiction I did while living there, in 2015 or so. It’s not the greatest – there are aspects I can even say I feel a bit embarrassed by, but at the time it was the best I’d done so far, and I was quite happy with it.

picture

Here’s the link to the map: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-20.7997/124.2137&layers=B

It’s a little bit tongue-in-cheek, linguistically. My Korean language skill isn’t that good, so the naming is probably amusing or cringey for those who are better with Korean. The whole idea is that this is a quite small, touristically-oriented, Korean-speaking exclave of my imaginary country called Ardesfera (Ardisphere). Bear, in mind, therefore, that anything outside of Sarang-do’s borders is not my work – and there’s been quite a bit of turnover by the neighbors, too, so I don’t actually know who’s currently mapping in the surroundings nor what their concept is – it’s clearly incomplete.

Caveat: Long time, no update (on that other blog)

[The below is cross-posted from my other blog]

I have neglected this blog [i.e. that other blog] for the last 6 months. That’s bad.

I occasionally think of things I’d like to blog here, but I get lazy or distracted with other, non-geofiction stuff, and never get around to it.

For now, I’m going to try something different. I’ll try to do a “low effort” post once a week. We’ll see how long that lasts.

One of these low effort posts will involve pointing to something I (or someone else) has mapped on one of the map servers (Ogieff, Arhet).

This week: yesterday, I uploaded some work-in-progress on the city of Saint-Raphaël, Ooayatais. It’s far from complete, but I decided that instead of hoarding the work on my desktop computer, I’d go ahead and post it in its incomplete state. Even so, yesterday’s upload was about 70k objects. (https://opengeofiction.net/#map=14/-46.6363/146.7445&layers=B)

Note that in the screenshot, coastlines are not yet updated. There’s something going on with delayed coastline updates, which, as admin for the site, I should probably look into.

Caveat: On Castine and its many tribulations

[NOTE: cross-posted from my other blog.]

Castine is an imaginary country that once existed on the imaginary planet I prefer to call Ogieff. In fact, the imaginary planet doesn’t have an official name – it’s hosted at opengeofiction.net, which all the users call, simply, “OGF”. That initialism leads to my preferred name for the planet – just sound it out.

There is a real place called Castine – it’s a small town in Maine, USA. This is not that Castine.

picture

I joined OGF in 2014, and Castine appeared and began evolving some time in the year after that, I think – in 2015. I also became an admin on the opengeofiction.net website in that year.

During the period from 2015 to 2017, Castine became the locus of a kind of meta-proxy-war, where I used it as a stand-in for a never-ending argument I liked to have with my fellow OGF admins.

The issue in question was the rule about “verisimilitude”. I had long felt (and continue to feel) that OGF’s verisimilitude rule is a bad idea – it’s vague and impossible to enforce consistently. It has no objectivity. The principle is that mapping on the OGF world is supposed to be “realistic” in the sense that it eschews fantasy and sci-fi elements, and doesn’t contain cultural or cartographic artifacts that couldn’t reasonably exist in the real world. Hence, people who build 50 km bridges or tunnels are called out for violating verisimilitude, likewise more science-fictional elements like space elevators or fantasy elements like dens of dragons or nations of 1920’s-era talking sheep (all these examples really occurred at various times on the OGF planet).

Castine was (is) a borderline case of violating verisimilitude. Some users felt it violated the rule, others felt it was okay. My position was always something like: “since we can’t decide if this violates verisimilitude or not, but it’s really good mapping… c’cmon, people, let’s drop (or at least, fix) this stupid rule.

Of course, this was an unpopular stance. And in the long run, I lost the battle to remove or even alter the verisimilitude rule on Ogieff, and I made my peace with it.

One way that I made that peace with it, was to create my own, separate planet! In 2016, I started the planet Arhet as a kind of alternative project to Ogieff. By 2018, it had several active mappers and its own emerging community. The principle concept behind Arhet is to be a kind of “libertarian” reinterpretation of OGF. It has very few rules: no verisimilitude rule, no assigned territories, etc. And somewhat to my own surprise, it sorta kinda works. The key to it working, I reckon, is that unlike OGF, Arhet is not “open” to any and all comers. There’s an application process to join, and although I enforce almost no rules for the planet, I do stand firm that arguments or disagreements between users that escalate to my remit will simply result in immediate banning of all parties. That keeps everyone participating on best behavior, I guess.

The irony is that then, in 2021, I took over the hosting of the original opengeofiction.net. So now I host a little federation of two imaginary planets, Ogieff and Arhet, which have substantially overlapping user communities but having quite different rule systems. And I’m okay about that. I inevitably yield to my fellow admins, whose hard work and dedication to the project I admire, when it comes to matters of rules and judgements on Ogieff. But off to the side, I run Arhet singularly, and I insist on its fundamentally anarchic state.

In around 2020, the creator of Castine (Ramasham) was banned from Ogieff – ultimately for violating another, different rule: the rule prohibiting direct upload of data copied from OSM. OSM is OpenStreetMap, which is a map of the Real World™ in the same technological vein as our two imaginary planets. This is the so-called “slippy map” paradigm, originally popularized by mapquest and perfected and dominated by google maps. OSM runs on and supports a whole complex ecosystem of software that is all open source, as a kind of alternative to google maps, and that’s why it’s easy (uh, “easy” in a financial sense, not “easy” in a technical sense) for us to use the same software to run OGF and Arhet.

Anyway, there is (and there has always been) a rule prohibiting copying OSM data into OGF. Ostensibly this is motivated by paranoia about copyright violation, but in fact copyright has little to do with it, in my own estimation – there are easy ways to avoid issues around copyright as long as you follow along with OSM’s “attribution and re-use” rules. The real motivation for the prohibition is legitimate, though: on OGF, we want to discourage mappers from spamming the planet’s map with cut-n-paste copies of real-world places. It’s low effort geofiction and discourages creativity.

That said, when I set up Arhet I decided to also not enforce OGF’s “no real-world (OSM) data” rule. And indeed I myself played around with cutting and pasting some data from OSM, including an ephemeral instance of country I called “Lingit Aani” (this is Tlingit language) – a copy of the islands of Southeast Alaska but minus any nearby continent, as an open-ocean archipelago. I later deleted this, but there are multiple copy-the-real-world geofiction projects going on in Arhet, these days, including clones of Sakhalin Island (Siberia) and Romania’s Bucharest, and at least two Polands – perhaps more.

I guess Castine’s creator, Ramasham, had been doing some copy-pasting of OSM data to increase the detail and complexity of Castine’s cartography. Notably, this airport is a modified cut-n-paste copy of one in the real world, with only the names of things altered. And so Ramasham was banned from OGF. Rules are rules, and that “no copy from OSM” rule is actually probably the most common reason for mappers to be banned from the site.

Now we come to February of this year (2022). The admin team at OGF, moving to “clean up” various abandoned territories around our (imaginary) globe, decided finally to delete Castine once and for all. And I had a moment of deep sadness and regret. Despite my having leveraged Castine back in 2016 as part of my proxy war with the other admins over the verisimilitude rule, in fact I really, really like Castine.

From a technical standpoint, Ramasham was at best a mediocre mapper. But the imaginary country is full of cartographic whimsy and playfulness, the naming is thorough and inventive and culturally intriguing, and the detail in some parts is quite incredible. I thought it was worth preserving.

So I considered: Ramasham’s ban from OGF was for violating the “No OSM data” rule; if there were any other issues with Castine, they were issues with the “verisimilitude” rule; so… hey – Arhet doesn’t have those rules!

The solution was obvious. I decided I’d move Castine to Arhet. And even more conveniently, the exact latitude and longitude of Castine’s old Ogieff location was open and unused on Arhet. I figured it should be quite easy to simply “cut-n-paste” the whole of Castine into Arhet.

Yikes! This turned out to be the far from the case – it was not easy. Not at all. Castine included almost 2 million distinct GIS objects: nodes, ways, relations. This was not trivial to simply cut, paste, and upload into the new site. And further, the data quality was quite poor, from a technical standpoint. Thousands of improperly stacked ways on shared nodes, hundreds of lazily-crafted or incomplete data relations, etc.

I have spent the last week in a kind of Alice-in-Wonderland nightmare of trying to rescue Castine and upload it to the Arhet planet. I think that as of this morning, that I have succeeded, but not before almost destroying the Arhet server altogether in the process.

Without going into a lot of detail, it seems that there were a couple of relations (a technical term in this case for a type of data object used in OSM GIS software) that were apparently so badly constructed that they broke the server’s database. Since I had to do a kind of trial-and-error search to finally identify these objects, it took a very long time. I’d upload some subset of the full Castine dataset, and watch to see if the database crashed or not. If it didn’t, fine, I’d try another set of data. If it crashed, I’d have to go back to the last backup of the server, restore it, and try again. I think I did a backup-restore cycle maybe 12 or 14 times over the last week on the Arhet server. It was painful, and tedious, and immensely frustrating.

The crash-provoking objects in question are puzzling. I still don’t understand why they crash the database. And given my difficulties in identifying them (and surviving them – see below), I probably won’t spend time, any time soon, trying to figure them out. They are “Giant Chessboards” – three of them. Interestingly, Castine also has other “Giant Chessboards” (e.g. here) that do not cause any kind of data problem. They are apparently implemented differently, in their details.

The problem was compounded yesterday, when, much to my shocked dismay, the server-level backup-restore functionality offered by my hosting provider, Linode – that I’d been so repeatedly abusing – suddenly and inexplicably failed to work.

So for a day (yesterday) the world was Arhetless. The server was down. I was in a panic because it seemed I’d have to fully rebuild the server from scratch. And it was only pure luck that I even had a copy of the map data, because I was still running a kludgey render engine (map drawing process) for Arhet on a different machine.

I wrangled with tech support at Linode, and they finally held my hand (or was it that they held my server’s hand?) through a successful if stressful restoration of the server’s image.

Let’s just say, these days Castine now has a quite colorful meta-history.

I reached out to the creator of Castine, sending an email to the address on record at OGF, announcing its restoration in Arhet. I would absolutely welcome and be pleased if that person would come back and take up work on the country, again – they won’t be constrained by the rules and regulations on Ogieff. Unfortunately I haven’t heard back. I speculate that there might be some bitterness about the whole business of having been first praised and then banned, back a few years ago.

The link to Castine-in-Arhet is here:

Please feel free to explore. I decided not to bother with adding extensive screenshots for this blog post – the point of having the Castine map hosted on the server is that you can explore easily directly on the website.

Happy mapping.


What I’m listening to right now.


Dawg Yawp, “Lost At Sea.”

Lyrics.

[Intro]
Tk tk
Hey! Hey!

[Verse 1]
Lost at sea
Is where you'll find me
It's got everything I want
But nothing that I need

[Verse 2]
Does anybody feel
All this talk ain't real?
Does anybody see
That the truth is in the mystery?
Could it be sweet
Standing on my feet?

[Chorus]
I don't know, but I'm gonna try
Thinkin' up ways not to wash up in alive
(Could it be sweet?)
Everybody's tellin' me it's not too hard
If you keep swimmin' it don't seem far
[Verse 3]
There's a place you can go
Where you'll never be alone
And you'll always be free
Lost at sea
Could it be sweet
Lost at sea?

[Chorus]
I don't know how they're gonna find me
Now I'm lost at sea and there's no way to deny
(Could it be sweet?)
If I'm ever talkin' like I don't care
Look at me and smile, baby
Take me there
