1962 Map Game
If you want to play you must do it plausible, Germany annexing all Europe is IMPLAUSIBLE. VENEZUELA 20:43, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to make it plausible, but every time I try taking it slow, somebody with really crappy grammar and spelling (which really bugs me) starts nuking me and trying to control what I do! CrimsonAssassin 20:53, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

CrimsonAssassin, this is enough. What you're doing is completely IMPOSSIBLE for the reasons I've already stated on the page's talk. Fedelede 21:40, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Look, you don't have to give an entire paragraph of why it's impossible. I was slowing down. All I needed was the heads up!

Sorry about removing your latest post, but Florence is a fortified city you have to lay siege to for at least a year before conquering it. --Emperor of Trebizond 21:36, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Map Game Plausibility
Ireland cannot own the whole Mississippi River. Sorry, but with all due respect other users such as Duchland and Destroy have already claimed parts of the northern river before you wrote that. And Ireland cannot reach the Great Lakes from Texas in two years. Do you realize how many square miles of hostile Native American tribes that is? Not to mention wasteland and empty prairie. It's simply not possible to do in even two years.--Emperor of Trebizond 19:41, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Can I at least have some claims to the Mississippi River? And to the gigantic expansion: Florence did it. CrimsonAssassin 01:11, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sino-Alban War (1452)
﻿Just want to hear your thoughts on the war brewing between the Scots and the Chinese. I understand that while your Ireland is firmly on the side of the Scots, you playing as Japan might pose problems if you decide for them to enter the war on the Scottish side (namely, Japan getting steamrolled by massive Muscovite and Chinese armies). As we are allied (my England and Florence with Japan), I didn't want to jump right in and drag you along with me. I didn't want to post this on the negotiation page as it's more of a private message. Either way, just say what you'd like to do, and we can discuss this.

Thanks,

BoredMatt 20:50, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

'''﻿Thanks for your concern. We've had a rivalry with China for some time now, as the Japanese. The Irish, however, can take them. I've got that colony that can take care of the Mamluks in Africa if they start acting up. I have Pakistan to keep an eye on the Ottomans.'''

Good to know. However, I'm not feeling so cool with us declaring war on the single largest power bloc in the world simply because Scotland refused to give up a tiny dot of land that they took from the Chinese (who were undoubtably the rightful owners, after all). Not that I'm totally opposed to the idea, but it does seems to me that we should sit back for a couple of years after the war begins and see how the wind blows. Once the Easterners are fully committed, then we can attack their weak spots with impunity. Our alliance possesses the the largest navy in the world if you combine the English, Italian, and Japanese fleet. Once the Eastern Alliance's navy is brought into the open and occupied with the Irish, Scottish, and Hapsburg-Commonwealth, then we can raid them all we want. In order to effectively carry out combat in Pakistan, the Muscovites and Chinese would probably send troops over the ocean as opposed to the Himalayas and Central Asia. We could intercept their transport fleet and wreck a good deal of their forces, both maritime and land-based, while using a smaller amount of ships than they. Simply invading them would destroy our armies; they've all got massive amounts of troops. I'm still working on a single unified Asian strategy, but I trust that I can leave the Mamluks to you, as you have a good bit of land and resources invested in Africa. All in all, we can take them IF we don't attack immediately and they need to get their troops out of the country first. I would like to avoid war at all costs, though. BoredMatt 01:12, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the French and I can handle the Mamluks. This time, we need to finish them off. Japan can't handle Muscovy alone, but there are British borders near the Alaskan territory. If we can get the British to invade on one front and the Japanese to invade on the other, they might have a hard time fighting. When Hapsburg joins, they might be able to attack from Europe. Scotland will be attacking China obviously. Florence can back them up. If the Papal States can call a crusade, that's more soldiers on our side. When the Mamluks are gone, the Irish will be tied up in Ottoman territory. But what I'm getting at is we need to hit them hard on multiple fronts!

Good ideas, but France is actually played by the same person as Muscovy :/. BoredMatt 14:19, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. It appears as if you signed up as the country China in Principia Moderni. As you may have seen, the game is scheduled to start on 21 January (tomorrow), despite the owner's absence, and progress as he intended it to. You may observe the map has been renovated and the page has been tidied up. Please respond to secure your position as an active player. —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R.

Awesome! Thank's for renovating the map! I can't wait to play! CrimsonAssassin 01:33, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for playing. Since we're pretty close neighbours in-game, I wanted to negotiate what kinds of relations between my country (Hanthawaddy, near OTL Yangon) and yours. I had in my mind a somewhat bitter rivalry, with the cities of Guangzhou, Hong Kong right in the middle. But if you'd rather not, we could fight over Haiphong or Hanoi. Also I was wondering if you had any plans for Tibet, I have considered it as a possible addition to my territory in the near future, perhaps the next century. The thing is since Myanmar has never been a superpower OTL, and it's been overshadowed by its neighbours India and China. Thus I don't really have many places to expand into except those two countries, or take over all of Southeast Asia which is sort of boring and pointless. It's all up to you, though, don't feel pressured in any way. Only Tibet and what's a few miles inward from the Southern Chinese border. Eh? —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 05:54, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

……? —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 21:38, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I was actually hoping for peace. I can give you some things, and I might fund some of your colonies in the future. We could become allies. As for Tibet, I might get to it. For now, I'm getting the Mongolians, so you can get Tibet if you want.

CrimsonAssassin 14:59, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Okay. That should work. I was hoping you would let me take Tibet later in the game. I'm in a Golden Age of peace and prosperity, so I'm booked up until maybe the 1530s. Then I'll need help with war against Toungoo. After that, I will probably expand to the north to Tibet, to the south to Singapore, to the east to Hanoi, and the west to Sri Lanka. At most. —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 16:15, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hey. I was reading a little on Zheng He. In OTL, they had to cut on exploration to defend against the Mongols. Seeing that you've done a ton of outright invasion, is it possible you never sent Zheng He at all? In that case I would be willing to allow him and a few ships to accompany Nai Thiha from Hanthawaddy on his voyages to Africa and other places. However, the catch would probably be that you would secretly help me invade Arakan in 5 years. Acceptable? —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R.

Doomsday
Suggestions for a nation, eh? Where-abouts are you interested in, regionally? I may have an idea on my list, or know of an article up for adoption, if you're interested.

Lordganon 23:28, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I am interested in North Carolina, especially Vance/Granville County since I live there. I'm trying to include southern Granville County in the Kerr Republic. Speaking of which, I would like to know why a nation around Kerr Lake is implausible. The land is really fertile and believe me: Henderson is more than capable of supporting the area as a capital. It is the county seat of Vance County.

I was also hoping to include some other cities in the nation, such as Oxford or Creedmoor, which are in central/south Granville.

~Crim

Remember to sign your posts, Crim. And it's also usually considered good form to reply to messages on your talk page on the other person's.

Have a look at the page, Crim. I never once said that it was implausible for it to exist - you just have to have it in the context already established for the region. It has to be smaller to fit the canon alreadly established. You could probably get away with a small chunk of Granville County as well, but you have to take the context of the North Carolina article - as well as http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/2009_WCRB_report_on_the_southern_United_States_%281983:_Doomsday - into mind.

In South Carolina, you have a small city-state at Georgetown. Everywhere else not part of something already is considered to be gone, largely.

With North Carolina, you've a number of options. Have a look at http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/North_Carolina_%281983:_Doomsday%29#Recently_discovered_survivor_communities for a list. It is considered that the rest of state besides these communities and the survivor nations is gone. I think that Greenville would be a good choice here. (Note that Danville/Martinsville is part of Virginia)

Lordganon 17:52, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Heh. Like I said, its a good start - just remember that it has to be put in the context already existing, which it doesn't do at this point i

Crimson, I was wondering if you would like to join this game I made, set during the late dark ages in Britain and Ireland. Feel free to join, just follow the rules. We'll be starting next Friday.

BoredMatt 17:11, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fun! I'm in!

CrimsonAssassin 21:25, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
I would like to thank you for participating in the first week Principia Moderni (Map Game). It is definitely a milestone for a map game to last for a week, and thanks to your help, it is now a reality. As a token of thanks, I am allowing you to pick out a single colony which you may take, with certain limitations. Here they are:


 * 1) The colony must be within 1,500 miles of your country. This may help.
 * 2) The colony must begin as one to five coastal towns. It may not expand larger than 30 miles long and 5 miles inland until 1500.
 * 3) It may only be in an area labelled as "small states" or unorganized tribes on this map. Small states require four turns or more to conquer, two of which must be solely dedicated to war.
 * 4) You must send exploration before colonizing. The first exploration should be at least three years before first colonization.
 * 5) It is recommended you reserve your colony now to avoid conflicts.
 * 6) Favourable colonies are on strategic waterways.
 * 7) When you colonize depends on the first letter of your country, in order to maintain realism. This means actual colonization or war, exploration is okay outside this time period.  Keep in mind you may always colonize after this time period, but not before:
 * A and B: 1431-1433
 * C and D: 1434-1436
 * E and F: 1437-1439
 * G and H: 1440-1442
 * I and J: 1443-1445
 * K and L: 1446-1448
 * M and N: 1449-1451
 * O and P: 1452-1454
 * Q and R: 1455-1457
 * S and T: 1458-1460
 * U and V: 1461-1463
 * W and X: 1464-1466
 * Y and Z: 1467-1469

You as China are expanding way too fast. I suggest you have a consolidation period of several years where you bulk up your navy, claim territory and explore but don't settle it. What do you suggest? PitaKang 19:27, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, you caught me right when I had decided that too. I was just hoping to explore the Pacific or bulk up my military or something. Maybe manage to get in contact with some European nations... CrimsonAssassin 03:04, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

It's going to to like this: Egypt, Syria, Lebanon invade Israel. Later, Algeria, Jordan, Russia (Russia joins last), Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan invades later. Sudan goes through another civil war due to that, from the Muslims in the North and the Christians from the south. After that, its:

Russia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan (Possibly China) vs US, NATO, and other nations like South Korea, etc. After that, IDK. PitaKang 23:54, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Just a little interjection, but Russia hates China more than they hate the US. I reallyreallyreally doubt they'd be on the same side. Also, Iran and the Arab countries hate each other, they would never team up unless their one and only objective was to destroy Israel. Jordan's government is very pro-West, as are their people. The UAE and anybody on the Persian Gulf would get hit really bad because the most secure naval base in the world is a US Navy base in Bahrain; they have more cruise missiles (and anti-missile missiles) than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention that Israel has over 100 estimated nuclear warheads, with missiles capable of hitting as far as Pakistan and southern Russia. BoredMatt 00:02, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Israel has somewhere between 250~300 warheads, and can reach virtually all points on the earth. But anyways, yes, their one goal was to destroy Israel! Even though the Arab-Persian emnity goes for hundreds of years, I belive that faced with the one goal of destroying Israel, or "Driving them into the sea," I think they could unite and invade. Also, during the 6 day war, Egypt told Jordan they were winning, and Jordan actually invaded. Plus, I don't know if you are a Christian, but I am taking this from Ezekiel 38, the "War of Gog and Magog". I am not going to recreate that scenario, (Sulfur and brimstone raining down), but I am simply taking the same nations, etc. PitaKang 00:09, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Plus, China, I'm Thinking we might have a 3-way going here, with the Arab-Persian-Russian coalition + maybe Pakistan, the Chinese and North Koreans, maybe India (I'm thinking of a war between India and Pakistan), and obviously the US and NATO. PitaKang 00:16, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

1000Monkeys
Certainly your nomination to be a constable in the TSPTF has raised some doubts about your trustworthiness. While there is no hard evidence that 1000Monkeys is your sockpuppet, the circumstances are just to suspicious to be simply explained away by your denial. We can accept the fact that it was probably not a good idea to have your brother nominate you after a month abscence from editing.

However, I feel it is my duty to the wiki as an admin to bring this matter to a speedy resolution. If 1000Monkeys is your sockpuppet and you admit to it now, I will not block you, but I will block that account and remove your current nomination to the TSPTF. If you deny it again I will do nothing and your nomination will likely be defeated due to lack of support. But if I find any evidence later of sockpuppeting, you will be banned permanently.

Of course, this could all be a misunderstanding that was brought on by a lack of common sense on your part. If that is the case, well it is to late now to change people's opinion. Next time try to avoid conflicts of interest like this again. Mitro 13:37, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

I understand. With regret, I will say that 1000Monkeys was once a sockpuppet account, when I first created it. However, I soon discovered that sockpuppeting is a bannable offense and quickly handed it over to my brother, who was thinking of making an account here anyway. Today, 1000Monkeys is my brother's account and it is not a sockpuppet account. I hope this can be brushed under the carpet and I apologize for any inconvinience either of us has caused you. I hope everyone can believe me and trust me again.

I do not use 1000Monkey's account anymore, I swear to you. I feel like I'm doing a disservice to him by telling people he is in possession of a sockpuppet account. If anyone should be punished for sockpuppeting, it should be me. The original intent was an alternate account, but like I said, I gave it to my brother. Just don't ban him.

CrimsonAssassin 18:19, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well Crimson, I am glad you came clean with me. Sadly I will still block the 1000Monkeys account and remove your nomination. I do this because I still have no proof that it is actually your brother on that account. The fact that you admitted to using it as a sockpuppet account is enough to shed doubt about your good faith. I still only have your word that it is your brother and you already proven by your confession that your word is not trustworthy. Since I cannot fly down to North Carolina and meet you and your brother personally, I have no other choice but to carry out my original ultimatum. Tell your brother sorry, but he can go and create a new account if he still wishes to edit this wiki. Know this though: I will be watching both you and any new account your brother creates very closely for now on. Mitro 18:46, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well I am sorry it came to this, but I hope I can prove my trustworthiness in time.

One question though, from your past experience, does PitaKang have a very well understanding of German political and military history (or any general country), or does he make stuff up that sounds plausible?

Yeah, its things like that, but the main thing that bothers me is "how is Germany going to launch one massive counter offense after another, when large portion of its trained military is already fighting or dead, and that they have no source of crude oil to power their tanks and trucks (if you want to get technical, Germany developed the method of turn coal into oil, but the plants where destoryed by the Soviets when Poland was under Soviet occupation)"

"No Nukes" Map Game - Britain
Greetings, Soviet Union

Why do we keep on fighting each other, meaninglessly destroying the lives of one’s own people, while the rest of the world is free from our influence?

I’m sure we can all see beyond the illusion of “protecting democracy”, or “saving the world from degenerates”.

Therefore, I propose something radical.

The major power allies with each other and occupy/control/subjugate/liberate the rest of the world!

Before you dismiss this proposal as “ludicrous”, here me out: Therefore, let the three major powers of the world join together and crush the divided Americans, subjugate the weakened Japanese, and establish a new world order!
 * Hitler and his cabinet are dead, and I doubt that Chancellor Albert Speer would want to continue to pursue Hitler’s fantasy of “eliminating the degenerate race” when the fight has arrived at home front.
 * The motherland is safe, there is no reason to push westward when the Americans have already pulled out, plus, the Baltic States are already liberated by the Red Army, wasn’t “keeping Russia safe from the Germans and controlling Eastern Europe” what Stalin wanted in the first place?
 * With Churchill dead, there is no longer a raging bull dog of war that influences the mood of England, and Prime Minister Anthony Eden would want nothing more than peace and glory of the commonwealth.

You think that Stalin is a man of justice and righteousness? He's sending every able male with two arms and legs he got, and deporting anyone he dislike to Siberia, so stop with this ideology crap that Axis is evil.

As for the Union of Nations, sure, why the heck not, is not like the existing UN was able to prevent a large amount of major conflict, but don’t be implausible and have a dictator run country supporting world collaboration, you and I both know that the USSR proposing the reestablishment of a new League of Nation is about as plausible as Somalia becoming a major world power in a month.

Dear CrimsonAssassin:

I have no problem with you taking initiative and maintaining order on the map game, in fact, I encourage it, but next time, please leave a post on my talk page.

It can be as simple as "I banned that guy because he was been impossible".

sorry for asking once again, but you hadn't responded my last message, anyway;

in the Map Game No Nukes, as Hungary, i asked for a ceasefire with USSR, controlled by you.i'm trying to ask if you accepted the ceasefire and the return to Hungary of the territories lost in Romania during the war, which was part of the ceasefire proposal, but was optional, or only the ceasefire.

Cut out the edit wars. This is exactly what keeps you from being a moderator. I don't know what makes you think you can go against the rules just because it suits you. A timeline isn't necessarily "less plausible" than real life. If anything, it should be "as plausible" or, if it is even possible "more plausible." The Spanish invasion of Peru was implausible if you ask me, but it still happened. If you are not willing to accept the rules of the game, just quit now, or I will see it fit to have you removed immediately. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 02:39, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

I don't care what you say. I could sit and argue for days because it's my country. It goes against the rules, no matter how plausible or implausible. I don't mind you keeping a colony there, but you still have to observe the expansion limits. And by the way, just because you don't post during a turn doesn't mean you were expanding your military. It means "minor economic progress" generally, but it could mean "economic downturn" and/or "military weakening" if that is true based on OTL. In your case it is "minor economic progress" but by no means is that military. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 21:58, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

I just thought of something. If you want an alternate method of conquering the Inca Empire, I suppose you can have the option of declaring full-out war, using the algorithm. You might be able to gain territory faster this way. But you should upgrade your military and stuff, they are a pretty difficult opponent by the algorithm, because they have advantages such as high ground. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:49, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

You should be aware that you never conquered the Inca Empire, and you never will until you take over at least half through colonization or through war.

Yeah you can join,, my opinion is that as the USA, I am growing to large, and so when the South leaves the Union, the USA is going to allow it on the condition that trade barriers do not exist and the two have a miltary alliance, when this happens the South will be given northern Mexico while Southern Mexico and Central America form the Central American Republic. The Peruvian Republic will then become independant as well, while Canada will remain American and Quebec will be annexed. I would prefer to be one of the break away countries, the break awanations will most likely leave the Union in 1846 or so, so would you like to be the United States when I become a break away? For now you can be Quebec though. DeanSims 18:57, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

By the way, US and the breakaway nations relations will be very friendly in the beggining, so there will be no Wars of Southern, Mexican, Colombian, and Peruvian Independance, I will grant each country as it sescededs its freedom.

It seems to me that DK doesn't really look at thing objectively whenever Hanthawaddy is concerned. Hanthawaddy never really loses whenever they fight wars. Like ever. Even when China beat them they only managed to create a stalemate, and didn't have any discernable territory gain.

Yank 21:22, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Central American Invasion Update
I'm just letting you know how you did on the war so you know how much territory you're going to get. From the Aztecs, the chance gains were for you and the Aztecs 7-6, so by the algorithm you lost 4.6% of your Baja territory. However, on the Mayan front, you lucked out with 9-0 chance gains for you against the Mayab, meaning you can take 7.9% of Mayan territory.

Hanthawaddy will assist China on both fronts in return for 1/4 of gains in the Mayab. I you do the calculations, it means you gain the same amount of territory in the Mayab that you would without Hanthawaddy, but you don't lose any Baja territory to the Aztecs, and the war will be a draw. It's basically free territory, but you just have to accept Hanthawaddy's new ruler and renew relations somehow. Hopefully China and Hanthawaddy will be able to pursue a trade route that will shorten shipping times to the Americas. Instead of departing from Toeh Ngoa Nyoing, Hanthawaddy can transport materials to New Hanthawaddy in less time, and China will have better access to the riches of the Caribbean. Do we have a deal?

Also, btw I recommend you get more support in your invasions. It's one of the things thats preventing you from gaining territory. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:44, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Interesting. Well I suppose Panama would be important to Hanthawaddy to shorten travel times to New Hanthawaddy. I also want something on the Mosquito Coast, because of its proximity to Camaikamon. How about we divide Central America (or maybe all of America, seeing our territories do not cross that line) at the 84th meridian? That would give me OTL Panama, the Mosquito Coast, and Costa Rica east of San Jose. You get the rest. However, there isn't going to be a general guideline, not super strict, at least not inland. Think of it like the Treaty of Tordesillas. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 22:22, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Dear China. We have been watching the rapid Russian expansion and are incredibily concerned. We send an offer to join arms in the period between 1673 to 1682 where we will reveal ourselves. We are a current ally of yours as well. China has the chance to gain huge advantages in land. We are also approaching the nations of Vietnam (who are able to cover you if Hanthawaddy gets involved) and Joseon who can seize quite a piece of land from Russia too. In Europe we have approached Naples, Sweden and Venice to help if Hungary, France or Anglo-Germany appear in this conflict. Respond on your own talk page if you are interested. I will check it every day.

Well I'm concerned too, but Russia and I have had hostilities before. We're working on fixing the relationship. If things get out of hand we'd go to arms, but we're currently at peace with most, if not all, of our neighbors. CrimsonAssassin 12:54, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Crim, I noticed that SPQR (Map Game) is starting to die, and you're one of the people who hasn't taken their turn, therefore causing its comatose state as of now. So if you could take your turn, that would be great.

I agree, it's gon into inplausagasum overdrive. It fell apart in 1949 and went totaly waky by 1956. I'm giving you the USSR tomorrow night. I am running the USA and Veneszuela as of that date. Italy was offered to Draycros and Ireland was offered to ChrisL123. I may leave the game soon, like many have already done. I've lost the plot, continuity has broken down and all cononisaty is lost now.

Never fear, my USA is on your side! Please don't hert Yugoslavia, it's an allie. Argentina's user has not posted for a while, so they may have walked out like so many others. Argentina will be assumed by me and merged into my 'empier'. It's either my rule or some one chews them up.

History Major
Honored to be asked o.o

Trust me, a lot of people are rather mean about people who want to history majors. But, you'll see that often with people - most just don't understand it, or the other "Arts" in general. Either that, or they're bored with it and consider it stupid - by what I've seen here, it's usually the second, from being taught the same thing each year.

Well, downsides first I suppose. A History graduate, along with other "Arts" graduates, will tend to get a job fairly easily - especially if they think outside of the box - but it won't be the best paying on the planet. Yet, it will usually be pretty stable. As a teacher, for instance, if you get seniority in schools you'll probably be around for a while, barring some act of stupidity. Same goes for a professorship.

Besides that, it can be a ton of work. I've literally had thirty books - up to fifty, on one occasion, too, if memory serves - at once quite regularly, in various stages of use (not that you need to read them for more than references, but I digress). But, unlike the sciences - and from what I've noticed, other "Arts" - it's not constant work, except for reading. Which is pretty easy, truth be told. It is usually a few assignments per course, spread out through the year, with plenty of time to do them. Heck, in some courses, when the instructions were given out right away, I've even known people to get all of the coursework done in the first month of classes, and then sleep in it the rest of the year.

Then too, history majors tend to be some of the more interesting students - smart, well-read, and unlike the bias, not nerdy. Anthropology is actually the only discipline whose students I've ever found more fun to be around. English ones being the opposite, in my experience, mind. Note that that is only in my experience, but from what I've seen elsewhere seems to be mostly true, too.

Upsides?

Well, you gain a lot of little skills. For instance, you learn research skills that are amazing. Some of the things either I, or my classmates, found was truly amazing - even the profs thought so - who, for the record, are not the stuffy old stereotype you always see in media. True, a fair amount are, but not the majority, at all. You'll learn, between the extra courses you'll need and the research you do, all kinds of little things - I've learned little astronomy and math quirks, and at this point, between that and my anthropology minor, I could, outside of dissection, probably stand a fair chance of passing high school biology. There's lots of little things like that, though they vary by person, admittedly.

Your arguing/debating skills will improve - that is the whole point of essays, after all - especially when you have the time to do research and think about things. So will your grammar, spelling, etc. from repeated use.

Really, as I've been told, history - and the arts in general - actually makes good management. You learn to be diligent, methodical, do research, spell, write..... there's a lot of things. So long as you present them in the right manner, mind.

If you think you're interesting in teaching, there's often some sort of position, or volunteer group, if not classes, that can give you an introduction to it. Trust me when I say that you must do that, if possible. Or at the very least, something that puts you around kids. There's a reason why the drop-off rate for teachers in the first few years is as high as it is, and that's more or less it.

Past all of that - I seem to recall that you may be in high school, though please correct me if I am wrong - you could try to talk to a (guidance) counselor at your school - but I consider them worthless, myself. What I'd suggest is that you actually talk - in person, if possible - to someone at the university. Most profs - note, only at smaller ones is this likely to occur, profs at big ones are too busy, normally - are willing to talk to those interested. Definitely a history prof, and if possible - many departments will have this - the history student advisor. Their job is to advise history students, and potential history students. The same would apply for education departments. History teachers, or professors, would in general be good to talk to as well.

What University are you at, or looking at going to? That may help my advice.

Lordganon 07:57, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Doing more thinking, it also occurs to me that a history degree is considered a very good "first degree" going onto other degrees. Law, for example. Even if it's not what you want to do right now, you never know. It's just got a lot of aspects that are applicable to a variety of different things, like with the jobs you can get. Lordganon 08:39, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

What do you think about the map I proposed?? :D Imperium Guy 13:24, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Could you edit Fractured America please, the USA would like the CSA to join the World Economic Community, which has Austria, Ethiopia, Iberia, Chile, and the USA in it, we all have one currency, the World Dollar. I would also like a CS-US alliance to heal US-CS relations. Please read the 1864.6 post by the USA, it has a realy good deal for the CSA.

 * Empire of New Albion: controls new England, the Canadian Maritimes, and expanding New Netherlands to control New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
 * Republic of Las Vegas: covers a large portion of southern Nevada, south-east California, and north-west Arizona
 * Japan: controls all of Japan
 * Greater isles: controls Ireland and Wales
 * Federation of Hind-Bharat: controls all of Pakistan, half of India, Nepal, Bangladesh and half of Mynmar
 * Nebel-German Confederation: covers Germany, Austria and Poland
 * Biafra: covers half of OTL Nigeria, mainly the coast
 * American Federation: covers most of the area around the Great Lakes
 * Greater Slavic Confederation: all of european Russia
 * Republic of Riverside: unknown
 * Repiblic of Texas: a bit obvious
 * Parlemetto Confederation: lots of area around New Orangesburg

Can you please return Mexico, the deal was unanswered for too long, so please return it. I gave you Cuba nad I will also give you Puerta Rico and compensate you. Ifnot, I will retake it by force and blokade your coastline as well as annexing all of the CSA west of the Mississppii River and annex all of it it as well as Virginia and everything north of Tennessee and North Carolina.

DeanSims 18:27, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I do not want a CS-US war. Please return Mexico and you will be compensated. I will throw in one of my African colonies as well so you have access to a new slave market. Puerta Rico will be given to you as welll while you will be allowed to dock warsips in ALL US colonies including all of my African colonies and my Indonesian Colonies and even my Hawaii territory. You will be given unrestricted use of the San Juan Canal when it is finished.

DeanSims 19:33, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

What parts, because I didnt get any of Arizona like I asked and you were the only one who actualy got anything, my part of western Mexico was much much larger than what it is on the official map. DeanSims 19:40, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I can nullify the last post if you let me see the map you made. The south can old on for a while, but eventualy the souths resources will be gone and eventualy te south itself will be "Americazed" and forced to become Black Majority Republics. I know your not racist, but that would be a big problem for Confederate citizens.

DeanSims 20:04, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Give me those territories and I will nullify the war.

DeanSims 20:21, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

So we have a deal?

You should make a rough draft map so I dont take any extra territory, then I will fix it. Can the CSA join the Allied Nations of Earth and the World Economic Community, everyone is equal in both organizations.

Persia
I have officially quit playing Principia Moderni. The reason can be seen at the talk page. I am giving you the control of Persia to you.

RandomWriterGuy 17:14, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Expansion in Principia Moderni
This is fair warning. I know the stability system is supposed to simulate the rise and fall of the empire. However, there are still many kinks in the system. Had the system not existed, you would have been warned many times already. The expansion is just too much in too short a time. I am going to repeat myself, countries don't just have huge bursts of expansion. They usually accumulate territory over hundreds of years:. Also, you are participating in too many wars. I am not going to punish you for any current territory, but in the future be careful for implausibility. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 19:42, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Mongolia and Napoleonic France quickly collapsed, and America's growth was accompanied by massive population growth. Didn't I already say this? Either way, cease and desist, or do what you want, but don't say I didn't warn you. And Golden Ages have nothing to do with conquest. They are usually long periods of peace and hegemony accompanied by fluorishing in art. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 06:51, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Mughal Empire
I did hear you just invaded and crush the Mughals, but before my temporary resignation, I did plan with Hanthawaddy about invading the Mughals before you did. Can you pleace give me the western portion of the Mughals to me please to make it a little bit for fair?

RandomWriterGuy 01:34, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

I'm actually thinking of nullifying the algorithm… The British took hundreds of years to conquer the Mughals, and not only that, but China doesn't have a good invasion route, and it is severely weakened from otherwise fighting. Crimson, I'll let you decide whether you want to keep the algorithm or not. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:58, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

There were tons of people at war with the Mughals. I am still thinking of how I want to split it. I know it was you, me, and AGC against the Mughals. The fraction I'm giving myself prevents me from taking any more Indian territory on purpose. Was there anyone besides us? Persia, I don't think you actually declared war on them. CrimsonAssassin 04:16, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

How do you expect to communicate with your Mughal territory? Over the Himalayas? <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 20:19, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Trade Routes to Europe (PM)
I am sorry but the route to France and AGC do not count as you are technically going via Persia so it is counted in the Persia-China route.Scandinator 05:59, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Incan Empire
If Cuzco, then no. Cuzco is too hard to navigate to, as it is too high in the mountains. Also it would be too difficult to conquer, and it is too important to South America's power structure. Hanthawaddy is China's competitor technically. I dunno what you would want in Argentina, but be my guest. I am mainly interested in OTL Ecuador and Loreto/Piura/Amazonas in Peru, just for the sake of having a slice of my ancestral country. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 00:27, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'll make you a deal. If you write up a solid set of rules, I'll do it (not sure what country yet). I am trying to veer slightly away from Map Games at the moment, as in the past the ones I have found interesting tend to devolve into implausibility or don't get enough support.

Also, I encourage you to check out my sandbox. It is the best place to outpour my ideas nebulously without having to worry about a specific form, but the problem is you get less publicity. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 04:11, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I'll just point out that imo it's easier to be plausible when you're in charge of a game, because you have a lot of pressure to keep your game alive, and you feel emotionally attached to your game. Versus when you're a player, your main focus is just to have the most territory and stuff. And the delete-on-sight policy, it's worth a try, but I would expect a lot of arguments and stuff. <small style="color:#004400">Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 04:19, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, that'd be the effects of too many of the games.

Afraid I don't know what you mean by "Well I mean if I hover over the template icon, it won't let me."

If you were to edit it outside of source mode, I guarantee it would make no sense.

With editing templates, the goal is to look at the code for the things on the screen when you have it up. With the 1983 Template, for instance, you can see where each thing the finished template has on it link-wise is said.

I would realy apreciate it if you could do this for me, thanks a bunch if you can, I realy hope you can, and dont worry about me announcing your taking control on the map games, they trust you. I know you gave up on some of these games, please do it for me, I would realy apreciate it.
 * 1) Fractured America: I am the United States of America, expand the Tanzania colony as much as you can every turn and dont forget to mention it. Defend all of your possessions and if questioned on the talk page about the referendum results, defend my results, I actualy did use the Random.org for them. Stay at peace if you can, if not, make sure you can win and get as much out of it if you can, if you can, back down at the least cost.
 * 2) American Empire: Stand up against Russia and continue to help France in its war against Prussia and Austria. 28,000 troops are in France and Prussia under US Command, you currently occupy Munich. try and keep Russia on your good side.
 * 3) Mesaíonas Map Game: Persia: try and expand as much as possible without angering User Controlled Nations.
 * 4) States of America 4: You are the CSS (Southron), keep expanding your military and navy as well as industry, nuclear research, and agriculture. When 1934.0 arives, avoid alliances and expand as much as you can without causing war against other nations. DO NOT join WW2, last time I did I got crushed.
 * 5) Principia Moderni: You are the Incan-Colombian Republic, or ICR, keep at peace as much as is possible. Your allies are Russia and Turan.

You Can't Really Win It
In Avaro, I am critizing you on one thign about the war against France: you are being kind of implausible due to the fact you can't really get much of an advantage from France since you've already been in a civil war. Recovering from a civil war is kind of a long progress, and declaring war will chip that away.

Now I have to remind you this implausibility, since Spain will have to recover first before it can truly go to war with a victory. RandomWriterGuy 22:38, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Crimson. I'm about to make a purge of all map games that meet the guidelines for deletion (haven't advanced beyond 10 turns, haven't been edited in more than a week).

If you want to save any of your games for any reason (try to revive it, or just save it as an archive), just take it off the list; I'll delete what's left after a few days.
