Alternative History:Map Game Oversight Committee

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

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.

In the same manner as TSPTF requests, each map game has a time of two weeks to gather the votes which declare it successful or unsuccessful for making.

Global War

 * Creator: Person67
 * Starts in 1914 and takes place just after the Archdukes death and is mainly about an alternate World War I and the aftermath.
 * It will be 4 months during WWI but that will change to a year probably once the war ends or if it never starts.
 * Aye voters

 * Tragically unoriginal Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  02:12, April 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Unoriganal, inexperienced mods, and will probably die within two weeks
 * Discussion
 * It's not your job to judge whether it is original. It is your job to judge whether it meets the rules. The fact that 11 other people have signed up anyway means it can't be to unpopular or unoriginal. The only valid reason for turning this down is if you can show me there is an issue which contradicts the rules. Person67
 * You can't tell a moderator specially if it's Nate, the best male user what to choose. And besides, this is only an opinion of one mod, you still have two weeks to decide whether if it gets accepted or not, no need for the drama. ~There was a candy,  and it said,  "Yo' shit, I'm coming for you, bruh. Oi bitch, g'day, you wanna mate?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 * Yes but Nate has taken control or whatever he calls it so his vote is a little bit more important. I haven't said in this what he has to vote for simply why he has to vote and I am saying his reasoning isn't sound. Person67
 * There is a reason. It is unoriginal. There are many map games with a similar concept, and all of them failed miserably. It is not only their job to find whether the mapgame complies with the rules, but also their job to see if players will like it based on the premise. ~There was a candy,  and it said,  "Yo' shit, I'm coming for you, bruh. Oi bitch, g'day, you wanna mate?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 * There is no rule which says it has to be original. Are there other games like it. Yes. Does that mean it has to fail. No. The fact that multiple players have signed up means people have to be mildly interested in it. At no point can I see anything which suggests it is the Committees responsibility to judge whether it will be popular. Person67
 * Please do not comment on other people's votes.  The votes are not for whether it fits the rules or not, the votes are for whether we think like it or not, and dear Nathaniel here does not like the concept. If it did not fit the rules, it would not be going to a vote at all. If people are interested in it, get them to vote here. Personally, I agree that it's unoriginal, though people could enjoy it nonetheless. FP ( Now 10% edgier!!!  ) 14:39, April 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't claim it is an original idea just that 15 people have signed up so some people must be interested. Person67
 * What FP said. The MGOC is not mechanical, or else voting would be unnecessary. There is a more qualitative element in which the map game is judged in a variety of (somewhat subjective) ways. There was already two games called The Global War, as well as innumerable others set in World War I. It's like randomly calling a game "Principia Moderni" just for the recognizability of the name. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  01:49, April 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, now I actually didn't realize that and I only searched for "Global War". Yes that is my fault and if the name is the only issue it can be renamed but there is a quality and there is a demand for it but no it is not original. Neither is any AvA game but they were still fine. Yes I messed up with the name but you can't close a whole game down because you personally don't like it. Person67
 * Creator's vote doesn't count, just like in TSPTF where nominator doesn't vote. S 20:13, April 6, 2016 (UTC)

Axis vs Allies: Renovated (Map Game)

 * Pita (Series Creator) Oct (Game Creator)
 * 1933.5.AxisvsAlliesRennovated.png
 * The classic, begins after Hitler takes power.
 * Classic .5 year turns.
 * Aye votes
 * AvA games always end up to be very good, cause of the sheer amount of users in this wiki that has knowledge mostly about WW2, therefore i believe that it could recapture the magic that the AvA series used to have. Triumph is at hand ( talk )
 * I don't see why not. Flag_of_South_Korea.png PitaKang- (Talk to me | Kill count: 8)
 * I agree. AM, King of the Banat
 * i would like to : vinnyusBE mapping
 * Lets go! Conqueror of the Communists!
 * User:Person67
 * Nay Votes
 * You appear to have copied and pasted the entire AvA: Reborn page, because it says, and I quote directly, "I hope that Axis vs Allies: Reborn will be the most successful of all Axis vs Allies games in history". Try harder pls. FP ( Now 10% edgier!!!  ) 14:43, April 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * 02:31, April 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * I can not see this being good in anyway. Either it fails to capture the magic of the old AvA games, or it becomes a game that's "just for fun" and it undermines everything that people wanted to change about the games on this wiki. #PraiseRoosevelt. 17:47, April 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * ~There was a candy,  and it said,  "Yo' shit, I'm coming for you, bruh. Oi bitch, g'day, you wanna mate?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  (I could vote right?)
 * Discussion
 * I am willing to take AvA to the MGW if this fails.
 * I also did not copy and paste the reborn page, but reborn had the best preamble so i copied that, as i am trying to combine the best ascpets from every ava game.

Resolution 002: Romoving inactive members
Since it's imception, this committee has been hilariously and stupidly inactive, and overall has completly failed to do it's duty. In order to fix at least some of this problem, I propose we remove all inactive* members of this committee, and replace them with new, active members.


 * Aye (kick them out)
