Couple of Things....
1. I'm about to start making individual state pages for Napoleon's World (for US states) and my love affair with fictional states/cities/so on is about to start in earnest. When I'm making Kahokia, based on your current residence in Manitoba, what would you suggest I do to make it more plausible/fictional, in terms of Napoleon's World? Winnipeg is obviously the capital/largest city, but would the intricacies of the TL have any effects on the state itself that you can foresee?

2. I'm doing a poll again to see who should win the May 1, 2011 English general election. The candidates are Hugh Grant of the Whig Party and Jack Davenport of Labour. Obviously, in OTL Hugh Grant is everybody's favorite stuttering, hopelessly romantic Englishman, and Jack Davenport was Commodore Norrington in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

3. You mentioned you wanted me to let you know when I had something of the Napoleon's World novel series? I've started two minor projects (I have many other more developed writing projects ongoing) that I could email you if you wanted to take a peek. Neither is particularly long, no more than about ten pages on MS Word so far.

4. Any new ideas for NW? :D

CYOAH New PoD
I have an idea about being a high-ranking officer in WWII. Can I make such a CYOAH? Wattman 17:56, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

FTBW Russia addition
Hi. I went through your French Trafalgar TL and I think its really good, and plausible at the same time. I really like it. I wonder if you need some help with the Russia page, seing as its not very good. Since I'm a Russian I could help you with it.

Responsibilities to the TSPTF
Don't feel too bad, I've had a lot on my plate as well and didn't find out Mitro had put me in charge till like 2 weeks after his resignation. Got Dragon Age 2 and got sucked into that for 2 weeks only to have the girlfriend get real sick and had to take care of her and the kid as well as working 10 hours a day. Just keep up with doing what you can for now, and when you feel you're up to it you can get back in the stride.Oerwinde 07:56, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. BTW what exactly are the boundaries, imean could you give me some general ideas or a sort of framework i can work with, so that I dont mess up your althist. Ayaa 13:15, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Feedback of FTBW
I'm liking the parallels, but you should be careful of just rehashing OTL. What is more important to me is the treatment of Quebec and the Pacific Republic. It seems to me that Quebec controls majority English-speakign areas like Nova Scotia. And more importantly, the Pacifics have been independent for a long time. Ther has been a bloody war, but even so, I doubt the Pacifics woyuld give in so easily. Mumby 17:30, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Oh don't worry, I'm not saying your whole thing is a rehash, and I understand those difficulties. As an aside, whats kicking off on my home turf? I like to know what life would be like for me in alternate histories. Mumby 18:32, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

So no hope of a united Britain then? Or will England become some sort of North Korea analogue, and Scotland becomes more English from migration from an increasingly oppressive and stagnant regime. Mumby 16:16, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

UN o LoN in FTBW?
Hi Tbguy! How are you? :) I read the section about Quebec and Scotish Missle Crisis here and i noticed that you mentioned to the United Nations in 2 parts: French and US Ambassadors to the United Nations in St. Petersburg. And a UN inspection team would oversee this process. According the same article, the organization by this time in FTBW is the League of Nations, nor the UN. jejeje ^^U Was a confusion or you will change the organization? Regards! :) --Katholico 20:16, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ohh i see. Well, if you ask me, might be Council of Sovereign Nations (CSN) or Organization of Sovereign Nations, (OSN). I used a similar term for a IO from one of my timelines in spanish wikia jejeje. What think? :) Regards! --Katholico 01:05, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I do not know if you noticed, about the south american nations, i wrote the history of Chile, Peru, Argentina and Bolivia until the end of the Third Global War, because you are currently working in the years after this war and i don't know which is exactly situation of the continent is this epoch, yet. I think that when you finish with this years, I will continue writing about the history of countries. :) Regards! --Katholico 21:41, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

500
We have now reached 500 articles on Napoleon's World. Thanks for all your continuing support and interest!

KingSweden 16:18, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I finished WW1 on The Last Chance for Peace. I could use an implausibility check, and just to see if I missed anything important. Thank you.Azecreth 23:34, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Umm... not trying to tell you how to do your work or anything, but on the British Waterloo page you forgot to add Delaware as a state in the United States. Just a note. Good Luck!

Novels
I'm gonna finally get around to start working on some of those Napoleon's World novels I've always wanted to do. I was wondering if you had any suggestions what time period/events would make for the most interesting setting?

I had a few ideas, but I wanted to hear from you first.

KingSweden 00:09, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

I definitely agree that the Anarchy would be a great place to explore. There'd be a wealth of stories you could tell there. The Iron Revolution would be good, but it would require shrinking in size and focusing on something specific, like a certain person caught up in it... maybe from the perspective of Pierre Tital in the midst of the chaos and focus on the social aspects of 1920's France?

The only current project I have is about a left-behind in the Pacific Northwest following the Alaskan War who falls into crime, which I'm not really happy with so far.

KingSweden 02:15, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

I need to flesh out the French Civil War here first before I can reliably portray it properly. The Roman Revolution would be an interesting aspect of the Civil War to explore, especially because it isn't tied into France per se.

That's the problem with the top-down approach - picking what you want to write about when there's such a variety you could do :P. That's also the problem with writing about whatever I want to whatever day I feel like it, since I don't have a long, thought-out and established timeline in the chronological way you did.

Venezuelan war
Hi Tbuguy1992! I read about the Venezuelan war, and I found some big errors. First I think you should use Marcos Perez Jimenez as the revolution leader, along the generation of 28 (Betancourt, Leoni, and other important venezuelan figures) could fight along against the invaders. Then Perez Jimenez could take the power and modernize Venezuela like he did in OTL, then maybe a failed coup made by his "allies" to take control, maybe Delgado Chalbaud, so he kill most, and I forgot maybe he could exile the generation of 28 after he took power as a dictator, son then people unhappy with the dictatorship after a decade of foreign control do a revolution and the generation of 28 return to power, (Lusinchi, would possible not existed), finally AD, URD, and COPEI create a tri-partidism system that may last until today or could collapse in the 1990s, with new leaders of other parties taking power, maybe Henrique Salas Romer or Irene Saez, and for today Capriles Radonski, Leopoldo Lopez, Antonio Ledezma, or Manuel Rosales. Regards VENEZUELA 23:39, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Fascism (French Trafalgar, British Waterloo)
Regarding the use of the term "Fascism" for the political system, *here* it came to be used because groups of like minded people were called fascio (meaning bundle) in Italy and the one that came to form the basis of the Italian Fascist Party was the "Fasci italiani di combattimento". If the ideology emerged from France, it probably would have a different name, maybe "integralism" which was coined by journalist Charles Mauras. Marcpasquin 23:49, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Guyanas in FTBW
Hi Tbguy how are you?! :) I have a question, what is the situation of the Guayanas countries (i mean Guayana, Suriname, French Guyana) in FTBW? In the map after the Third Global War appear only one territory. Regards! --Katholico 01:31, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, this sound fine. :)

But i have other questions, i hope don't mind you jeje. First, what is the name of this french overseas colony? French Guyana like OTL or other name? And, other point that i will like ask is about the carribean situation. The initially reunites all the islands, but this country eventually collapse and is succeded by the government of the, right? What islands remain under control Hispaniola and what others fall under control from another countries like CSA, Britain, etc? Regards and thanks! --Katholico 23:45, August 12, 2011 (UTC)




 * Jejeje I just search unclear points in the timeline :P Thanks for your patience :) Well, i made a preliminary map about the alliances in America after Brazil Collapse. The only doubt related this that I still have is the, because originally you wrote here that the country join to the US sphere, but later you placed the country as a affiliate of the . As a puppet-state of Brazil maybe join along with Brazil to the Frenchs. What thinks? Regards! --Katholico 01:48, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, sounds perfect the idea of a coup. The new government probably would lead by thw peruvian Francisco Morales Bermúdez and bolivian David Padilla. Regards! --Katholico 03:19, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Riel's Canada
Hey, Tbguy, I was wondering if I may adopt your timeline, Riel's Canada? Just let me know on my talk page whenever you read this. ChrisL123 17:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand. But I would be ecstatic for it to be a collaborative project between the three of us (if Yank is okay with that). I did ask him on his talk page (LG let me know that he was apart of it, too.) I do see this timeline being a great one. ChrisL123 03:36, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Next Meeting
You said you'd only be available for another meeting in September. It's now September, and I'd like to ask you when you would like to meet next.

Yank 04:48, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

I'm good for next Tuesday. Same time, same place. 4:30-6:30 in the St Vital Mall Food Court. I'll amend it if it turns out I can't come on the 20th.

Yank 03:52, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

What does a test on Friday have anything to do with it? I said I was available Tuesday.

Yank 04:11, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

If you're not available on September 20th (though I still don't know why a test four days earlier prevents it), would you be available on the 26th?

Yank 15:55, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Ideology in Brazil (FTBW)
If the United States promoves the Democracy, and the rules the French Empire... in the Brazilian Empire there was some ideology in specific? Regards! --Katholico 06:21, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, understood.
 * I really glad in help in your timeline, is a amazing work (countries, wars, ideologies, etc)!! And thanks for you offer! :D Would be a honor if you could help me. As you maybe know, only in the spanish wikia i have own works:
 * Chile No Socialista: timeline focus principally in the chilean politics; the Christian Democrats and the Rightist sectors defeat Allende in 1970, and eventually formed an alliance that govern Chile until today. There is too a failed socialist revolution and an war in South America based in the OTL Beagle Conflict.
 * Presidente Portales: A timeline which POD is the survival of the Tri-Minister Diego Portales in 1837 (key in the consolidation and stability of the Chilean Republic) Originally this history stay inactive for a time, but later I read your timeline, and I must say that FTBW inspired to me to continue with Presidente Portales. jeje ^_^U However, i'm revising the articles that i wrote until now, and I realized that probably several things (like countries or wars) are impossible or need to be improved. Because this, for example i asked to South Writer for help for the US history after the American-Mexican War and the Civil War. Probably, in this timeline you could help me. In my case, the history of North America and Europe is my weakness. Regards! --Katholico 21:48, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, no problem :) i put the links just for that you to have a look to the timelines. Anyway, yes i have questions... one of the countries with more "protagonism" in PP (Presidente Portales timeline), for the moment, is France. I wrote that the Second French Empire survives and Bonaparte Dinasty of Napoleon III continues. How i made that this happen? Originally i put that France defeat to Prussia in 1870, but later Prussia take revenge in a major war in 1875 (which begin due to an european involvement in a late american civil war this year) and create the German Empire; an civil war erupt in France against Napoleon III, but somehow ultimately he result victorious. :/
 * However, now i see that this result is very complicated and probably make no sense. What thinks? Is possible somehow the survival of the Napoleon III's Empire? Regards and thanks! --Katholico 03:48, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for resolve this doubt. :) I will follow your opinion for the French Empire.
 * Another thing that i like ask is about the fate of Alaska (stay under Russian control or is sold to the US) and if could become in an independent nation. In OTL the russian territory was sold to the US in 1867. In ATL, Lincoln was elect president in 1864; his first term principally focuses in a threat of an new conflict with Mexico. As soon as this ends, the American civil war erupt in 1868 and end an stalemate. Considering this US scenary, what thinks? Maybe I need consider the situation of the British Canada? Reards! --Katholico 22:17, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, so Alaska remain as an Russian territory. Effectively, I think that the russian-british relations would be same to OTL. Thanks, I will read Wikipedia for continue with the Canadian history.
 * By the way, you think that the survival of the Second French Empire (about that we had spoken before) might cause some effect in the geopolitics in Europe or in the colonialism in Asia and Africa? or basically the things continue in the same way until the First World War at least? --Katholico 00:46, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help! I will consider the issue of Bismarck. For the moment, i think that i will continue with the timeline until the beginning of XX Century, and i will explore the history of Asia, another continent that i need improve. By the way, i'm reading this page of FTBW and i noticed maybe an mistake in the next paragraph:


 * The majority of the fighting took place in Western Europe, in the Confederation of the Rhine and the Netherlands, and ultimately into the French Empire itself by 1862, but not before both Prussia and Britain were nearly defeated in 1860.


 * This line is about the First Global War, where Prussia and Britain won, no were defeated. I don't know if this is written correctly or maybe I'm reading wrong (After all, my english is STILL basic xD jeje). --Katholico 03:21, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh i see, then, i read wrong xD
 * No problem, in fact the other day i moved the peru-bolivian confederation from the EDA to Juneau Pact, according that we had spoken before.
 * By the way, maybe have another doubt; i will explain to you the situation: In my timeline, the American-Mexican War was won by Mexico due to the intervention of Chile and Brazil, which was lead by the chilean minister Diego Portales. However also I made that Spain interfering in the conflict as result of the chilean-brazilian diplomacy. I'm trying that the join of Spain to the latin-american's side take place maybe when the war arrive to his climax (a mexican counter-attack in Texas), as a form for that the US government consider surrendering... as US don't accept this initially, the spanish army invade Florida, and finally when to war reach to the Mississippi, the US accept his defeat. In the aftermath, I consider give Florida to Spain (Despite that a couple of decades before Spain sold this territory), while Mexico don't lost the territory that lost in OTL and also recovers Texas. However as this northern mexican territories (California, New Mexico, Arizona) by this time has not much population, and as the efforts of Mexico are still focused in to build a solid government, they give to Chile and Brazil the territory of California for his administration. Well, what thinks about alll this? Make sense or some things like the intervention of Spain, are unrealistic? Please be free for correct me. Thanks!! --Katholico 03:34, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, actually, the POD is precisely which explain the change of the US-Chile relations; Diego Portales was an important critic of USA in Chile, he don't trust in them. One of much things that seem to me very intersting to write this ATL is precisely this point. Bassically, He was a visionary leader, and with the timeline i explore the course of the history if he don't be killed yoo young. But well, anyway, thanks for you help! I will change some things so. :D Regards! --Katholico 05:13, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Americas in FTBW
Hi, Tb, it has been a long time. I don't know if I ever congratulated you on FTBW, so, congrats. I like the idea of the south winning, and even the 'occupation' after the global war. I figure this would be because the two nations were on different sides during that last conflict. Anyway, I'll look over the time line a little more, but it looks about right as you describe it. I'm busy trying to jumpstart the American articles on 1983DD right now, but I'll be glad to look at whatever you develop in the latter 19th and early 20th century for the Americas. SouthWriter 03:30, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I have to concede, you are doing a fine job, but the work is far too biased toward a socialist worldview. If you develop the Democracies into more conservative, capitalistic nations, perhaps you can move toward a balance that would 'make sense.'  If you need any help in developing some conservative republics, based on the US constitution and traditional values, let me know. I might be able to put together some scenarios that might just work. Meanwhile, study up on the principles of American conservatism, especially economic theory. You state that you're for free enterprise, as long as its regulated (a bit of socialism never hurt - lol), so capitalism is not foreign to you. Try to look at things from different points of view and stack the facts against the opinion. The real world never works the way we want it too, and neither should good fiction. SouthWriter 00:14, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Hey TB, long time no see. I'm a much better map gamer now, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Check out the Axis vs Allies Revised Map Game. It's pretty sweet, with a United Nations where we can vote on resolutions, etc. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 22:24, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Wait, do you mean the Axis vs Allies, or Axis vs Allies Revised? Because the first AvA failed pretty miserably. Also, check out Principia Moderni if you haven't already. Detectivekenny "invented" the idea of an algorithm to figure out wars, and it's working pretty sweet. AvAr also has it. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 23:31, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
