Uh, what are you doing? Arstarpool 05:09, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Just read over the articles as I have revised them. You don't have to agree with any of the changes. All I am doing here is showing you that the articles can work together without your violating the established work that went ahead. I have Plymouth claiming all the land, the troops near Barnstable escaping and returning to retrieve stuff that wasn't destroyed, basically remaining just as strong as you wanted. All this doesn't happen in a day, of course. And the parting of the ways comes very early on. SouthWriter 05:19, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Could I just at the very least keep the area of the military bases (Bourne) and the very tip of Cape Cod? It's not like Outer Lands would control all of Cape Cod border-by-border anyway and the tip is a very important cultural spot to Plymouth as it was the site of the original "Plymouth". We talked of "compromise", and this is my offer to shake hands and peacfully let go of the rest of Cape Cod....for now. Anyways I will make the actual founding of the "Commonwealth of Plymouth" be on January 1st when they unify with Outer Lands on the same date as with the Floridas. Until then they will simply be called "Plymouth". Arstarpool 05:28, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I had thought of the tip of Cape Cod being the historical first landing, and it is only twenty miles by sea from Plymouth, so I see no reason why Plymouth would not hold onto Provincetown. Bourne, though, is close to Barnstable, the capital of the whole of Cape Cod. It is close to the other survivor communities and is part of the Association. The bases, being important to your article as they are, might have been salvaged in the effort to save the area, but this has to be in a narrow window before the Assosiation forms. What you offer as a compromise is just what you have already written. It has to be meshed with canon.


 * My revisions give you the troops, and their loyalty to Plymouth. Provincetown, being so far away by land (and sea, for that matter) can be "rescued" within days of doomsday by boats out of Plymouth (maybe even Coast Guard). All radio contact is out, the residents would not know of the Outer Lands just yet, so they would gladly take aid from "neighbors" across the bay. That way, except for Otis being destroyed, everything remains the same for Plymouth. The Outer Lands article can be adjusted to allow for greater co-operation at any point in their histories. As long as the Plymouth article follows suit. SouthWriter 05:53, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
