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)

Well, then I'm dropping much of my North American territory. Fedelede 01:13, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

No, you can keep it. CrimsonAssassin 01:14, 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)

Principia Moderni
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)

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.

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

n time. Lordganon
