Alternative History:Map Game Oversight Committee

The Map Game Oversight Committee, presented by Archon of the Omniversal Collective Monster Pumpkin and Lieutenants PitaKang and Scrawland Scribblescratch.

A map game is a role-playing game in which each player controls the actions of an entire nation or people-group. A map game must always have a main page that includes a map of the area encompassed by the player nations and all posts by the players and moderators. All map games must have moderators that control NPC events and people, guiding the world and prevent inter-player conflict.

 * Not really, Pita. If anything, this is a map game with an original idea and you having the capability to be your own Godlike being. Through Stars We Rise. (Welcome to the Universe). 20:07, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

 * On reguards to Edge's statement, the page is still in a major WIP. I will spend a majority of my time tonight and tommorow to get the page up and running. It'll be ready by tommorow night. Sat (Talk to me!) 01:35, January 31, 2016 (UTC)

 * I have no idea what the premise of the game is about, and seems to be a map game for the same of having a map game. Flag of the Xanian Empire.svg Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 22:53, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

Resolution 001: Shut down NWO?
It's pretty clear to me that NWO is a lost game. There is no chance that it will adhere to the regulations created by this committee in the next year, much less the next week. Now, the question is, do we shut it down after 2/5? Or do we let it die off on its own, since it was created before the rules here were formed? PitaKang-  (Talk to me  |  Kill count: 7)  18:46, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

Update: This vote may be null and void as I, the official constable of NWO, see that the game is now meeting standards. Bfox holds the right to contradict me. I would like to thank Feud for making Borealia possible  19:12, February 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, shut it down
 * Crim de la Crème 18:55, January 29, 2016 (UTC) In the words of Jon Taffer, SHUT IT DOWN!
 * The creator of the game had also previous created a multitude of games that almost bordered on spam that I deleted due to none of them crossing 10 turns. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 00:43, January 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * We made the boat, we should sail it I would like to thank Feud  for making Borealia possible  19:40, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

 * I can't vote, but I want to shut it down if it does not meet the requirement within seven days. ~Fires
 * What requirements do we not meet?
 * What Regulations are we not meeting? KingCor1
 * What's wrong with the NWO? Please tell us so we can save it. -OB763, New Zealand
 * NO! Don't shut it down, this is tyranny! Our wiki!
 * Who are these people? Anyway, poor formatting. Poor spelling and grammar. Doesn't really make a lot of sense. I mean, the US fighting a land war in the USSR? Holy Neo-Roman Union? Islamic United Union? Soviet military base in Mecca? I think your first move should be to get rid of some of your bad players, like Turkey. Also, the regulations are all here on this page. Scraw 17:05, January 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * The game was created before the rules and will eventually die off, so I say we give it a free pass from the new restrictions. —Bfoxius (talk)
 * Also, the game falls under the category of ASB, which begs the question: are overseers even needed for ASB games? In my opinion, we should allow ASB - Environmental games and the like, but ban ASB - Biased and ASB - Random games. —Bfoxius (talk)
 * I've taken matters in my own hands. I've fixed the poor formatting, I've added rules about grammar, spelling and adding penalties for implausibility. I've restarted all the turns to get rid of the past implausible mod events. I am planning to implement something to limit "new" players to insignificant countries. ~There was a candy,  and it said,  "Bruh, I'm coming for you, bruh. Oi, g'day mate you wanna mate?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
