Thanks again; I was attemtping to upload an image of a custom electoral map I had made and it wasn't working, so I was wondering if you could tell me how to make it work/make one for me? Thanks.

Principia Moderni (Possible Napolitian Expansion Offer)
Dear Naples. 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. Naples has the chance to gain huge advantages in land. We are also approaching the nations of Vietnam, Joeson, China (to hit Russia in the east) and Venice and Sweden (to help you block Hungary, France and Anglo-Germany if they get involved). You have a vast territory open for possible expansion if you take this deal. Respond on this talk page if you are interested.

Naples wishes to not bring war to the Christian world, but will do so if the Eastern Traitors seek to expand further into Catholic Europe or into the Orient. LurkerLordB 21:50, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

They are not Christian. The Russians are in fact Russian Orthodox.

Russian Orthodox is a type of Christian. The Catholics in Naples consider them to be traitors. LurkerLordB 23:55, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough. Also Russia plans to annex all of Siberia by 1680.

Vietnam
Can the Venetians count on Naples assistance in protecting the christian nations of europe and driving the Imperialists of Vietnam away from the territories we hold sway over? Kunarian 20:50, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

If you can read I backed my troop out and fix all the damage I cause you get the fuck off my back bitch!!!!

I'm going to block him for a few days, but I need to say this first: Just report it next time. Posting things on his page is furthering the trouble. Lordganon 22:50, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought he should be notified. But, you probably should have done any notification instead. Wasn't thinking clearly. LurkerLordB 22:57, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Caucasus
Lets say then that in the most northern new state from the Ottoman Empire, A violent outbreak against the Crusaders occurs and so Russia moves in to subdue it, in that situation you would have Venices support. Besides I need to rebuild my Arsenal and pull back military campaigns. Kunarian 00:51, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

I am not Russia, I am Naples. LxCaucassus is Russia. LurkerLordB 00:59, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

God Save Italia!
Seeming as France and Burgundy have now gone into personal union, I think that we should move towards union between our two nations in a Confederate States of Italy (CSI, heh), Where we would both be ruled by a central government that would be made up of Italians from all the Peninsula and the states within would have free reign to govern themselves to a degree. Also each State would have 2 representatives meaning that the State of Venice could support a war with say, Portugal and then Naples could be agianst it and so it would then go to the other states within the confederacy with 2 for and 2 against we would need to randomise the others and therefore it would be more interesting. This would also give us greater influence over world events. Kunarian 18:33, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Good I guess, although how to handle vassals like Milan and the Papal states? LurkerLordB 23:59, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

We should integrate the other italian states into the Confederacy. Papal states being split into two, the Papal state and the Holy City of Rome. I'll finish integrating the other norths and then we can make a combined move after the Bahamas incident completely is over to unify. Kunarian 00:24, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for voting the President McCain althist. I hope that it becomes a featured althist.

RandomWriterGuy 23:01, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Spread the message about this to everyone.

LurkerLordB,

Thank you for your feedback.

I will need your help soon. I hope to add an "alternate destinies" such as in Napoleon's World. If you could come up with some quick bio suggestions, I would very much appreciate it.

Here's some destinies already taken:

Rick Santorum: Speaker Carly Fiorina: Opposition leader David John MacDonald (Tennant): Leader of Liberal party in UK

Send me a few and we'll talk about it.

Thanks,

MasterSanders

In Principia Moderni, Yank is the player for Vietnam. I can not find a link to him. Can you give it to me?

Modship for Principia Moderni
You've definitely deserved this from the start, but I was going to let you have a little bit of time to observe how the game was run. If it's okay by you, I'll promote you to assistant moderator and if that works out you may become a full moderator. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:31, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe, but the way I do it is to install the Color Counter Applet (you can find it on Google) and it should be under Plugins>Color>Color Counter. For me it helps to fill in my color with a memorable hexidecimal code (#DECADE, #DEFACE, #FACADE, #DEEDED or something to that effect) and the Color Counter lists all the colors in hexidecimal and the number of pixels. Note that you will have to close and reopen the applet to refresh it. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:45, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Mamluk
so, i proposed a deal to france and sweden about the division of the Mamluks. i t's only temporary, since some other country may enter the war, or we might not win.however, this is a proposal, and France and Sweden accepted.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 06:46, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Greece proposes a non-aggression pact to Naples and a alliance to Jerusalem. i asked this three times in-game and you didn't respond.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:25, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I updated it. Why did Greece become so scared of Naples all of a sudden? I never posted anything of the nature that Naples had any desire to attack Greece. LurkerLordB 22:21, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, since you started to attack the muslim nations, obviously the muslims on Greece (there are various of them there, since the new Greek government never bothered to make a a radical change on the Ottoman Empire's policies. a expample is the millet, which only changed its name.) got word of it, and as of expected, anti-Napolitan sentiment developed there.some of the Orthodox Christians also were fearing a invasion alike the Fourth Crusade (a Catholic nation attacking a Orthodox nation).before you know it, there are people claiming for war with Naples.by 1705, only the muslims are still fearing a Napolitan invasion.by this time, the King of Greece is trying to reestabilish relations with Naples.and with Jerusalem, as well.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:40, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Algorithm/Stability
Mostly to make it easier for people doing the algorithm or stability where they can just scroll up instead of having to open up another tab. It's not a perfect system, but it's what people are used to. Maybe you could ask Scandinator or Collie Kaltenbrunner, because they are the main people who use the algorithm/stability. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 22:05, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:What?
You misunderstood me. I apologize. I didn't notice that you had colonized Pacific Islands. The overcolonization I was talking about was the Iberian one. This is Africa we're talking about; back in the day, Africa was the least colonial importance and the hardest to colonize (especially northern Africa). The move Iberia did would probably take up to 5 years. But of course the Pacific Islands are yours, no question. Sorry again for the misunderstanding. ChrisL123 02:34, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Napolitian-Finnish Trade
Firstly, I will establish that NO such trade route would exist. Trade to Naples would be via AGC, Venice then to Naples.

Secondly, a nation of only half a million people also on poor soil is not going to be very merchantile, trade is going to be limited.

Thirdly, the Swedish are able to control all Baltic trade. By the nobles declaring war on Finland that trade (to AGC) is blocked.

Finally, I like your profile picture

Revolutions 1750
Hello! I am glad you are on board the map game and I hope it'll be a good one. Before I start, I just want to notify you of some things.

I'm going to extreme lengths to prevent this game from becoming implausible. Please note that moderators will have Delete on Sight permissions. This means they can delete anything they see implausible. Granted, I'll probably just cross it out so I don't confust people, but be warned that the mods reserve the right to remove problematic people from the game.

There will be algorithms factoring wars and revolutions. Keep in mind that, unless improperly done, an algorithm's result is final. Moderators will be keeping track of the algorithms. These algorithms are to keep the game plausible and fair.

The moderators are an impartial and fair group of players that have shown enough responsibility and plausibility to hold their positions. They will not be biased or unfair. That being said, please don't accuse them of being biased or unfair. Speaking of moderators, I was wondering if you wanted to be a mod.

If I didn't scare you away from the map game with all this stuff, feel free to post on the map game. Good luck!

DeanSims 01:37, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Dude. ICQ page looks awesome :D Doctor261 06:34, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Did you have an amphibious landing? If so, isn't it a bit early considering the year is only 1877.5? Please don't take American territory or that would not make the game so fun!! :D Imperium Guy 17:07, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, I get any reserves left up to "secretly" help you. I'm a bit overstretched, with most of my army attacking the Ottomans and the remaining attacking Austrian Vietnam where military help could be useful!! :D Imperium Guy 19:57, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, we will atleast send you supplies with the newly linked Hind-Quan railroads. I am planning to try and push the Dutch off the East Indies at a later date. Its Asia for the Asiatics!! :D Imperium Guy 20:05, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Return of the king
I'm fine with you, btw prepare for some bloody conflict, Venice is back and more militaristic than ever, the guidance of the Furioso is gone and now all liberalism is generally diminished into italian-venice nationalism with a hatred for other ethnicities like the Vietnamese. Kunarian 20:20, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

I never declared war on you. I will stop being implausibile to all of ym ablilites if we roll back the war.

Can that work?

DeanSims 21:58, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Aid the IQC?
To be frank, if we all went at America, guns blazing, in its current state, it wouldn't even be fun. We all saw the US have its ass handed to it on a silver platter before, ganging up on it now would be ungentlemanly to say the least. If we were to remove the United States from this game, the world would no longer be bipolar, and our Grand Alliance would fall away as infighting overtakes us. Instead, I think we should just leave it be, stopping it from doing anything outrageous when necessary, and if you really want to attack it, go on ahead and take some of its colonies, LORD knows they're not strong enough to stop you. And, if by some miracle they do become an actual threat, I will not hesitate to aid you, but I will not kick a child while it is down. We are still allies, though. If you want to remove a less critical piece from this puzzle, I will help you.

I hope you can respect my wishes,

Jazon Naparleon 22:10, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

I would do that, if I did not feel insulted my self by DeanSims deleting my posts from the game page and attempting to hijack my nation. I will take the territory which I would get by the algorithm from the US, and if you help, you will get part too. LurkerLordB 22:14, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey lurker lord, have you realized you would make a better colony than I would, China has a good population that can used as labor, and its a huge country surrounded by countries who have the power to take you down and may become my allies. I want peace but not on such insulting terms. DeanSims 22:19, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yes I will not aid them. Sort this out diplomatically. You two are fighting madly. What I propose is no rollback, but a slight Chinese gain in a treaty. Gaining of Canadian territory under American hands is good, its something for your gain. Please stop the fighting. FA is doing brilliantly. :S Imperium Guy 22:24, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

I will accept that deal on the terms that I be compensated. But its not such a bad deal.

DeanSims 22:30, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

i accept your terms. can i keep a base in Indonesia though please?

DeanSims 22:33, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

That is very fair. I accept. i AM GOING TO THE MOVIES, SO I HAVE TO GO.

thanks

DeanSims 22:39, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

War of the Gods
I didn't replace history in the revised version, the POD is at 3000BC. There are althist whom have PODs earlier than 3000BC. Some of them are: So I am very confused...
 * 4.6 billion BC
 * Luna: Earth II - The Moon's core is 960 kilometers in diameter instead of a mere 480 kilometers. This lead to a stronger gravity, a magnetic field, and eventually, its own lifeforms.
 * 4.56 billion BC
 * White Star Jupiter - Jupiter is formed into a white dwarf star instead of a gas giant. This enables the habitation of all planets in our solar system.
 * 3.70 billion BC
 * A World Apart - Life forms on an entirely different continental system than that of traditional earth, causing human society to develop an entirely different history.
 * 500 million BC
 * Habitable Mars - Mars retains a thin but breathable atmosphere, as well as a protective radiation belt. Plant and insect life soon develop on the planet.
 * 251 million BC
 * Permian Extinction: Civilization - Sapient lifeforms and civilization emerge just in time for the Permian extinction.
 * 65 million BC
 * Tooth and Claw - A large meteorite fails to hit the Earth, instead hitting the Moon.
 * 200,000 BC
 * Zera - A small group of Homo Erectus crosses the Bering land bridge and develop in the Americas.
 * When Hell is Full... - For some reason, the genus Homo Sapiens is cursed from the start. Whenever a certain amount of its kind have perished, death is no longer permanent and the dead return to feast on the living...
 * 20,000 BC
 * Great White South - The climate around the Earth's south pole warms significantly, enabling human inhabitance of the Antarctic continent.
 * 4004 BC
 * No Supernatural Intervention - Adam and Eve leave a suddenly inhospitable rain forest to begin civilization in the fertile plains. They had never encountered the Creator God who chose to remain aloof from his creation.

Bobalugee1940 03:19, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Mine is based on something, even though it is ASB to the very max, it is not replacing history. History was well established by 3000BC  and then the gods came around by Alien Space Bats. Thus it is based in history.

Bobalugee1940 03:25, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

You still haven't answered me as to WHY its "replacing history". I want you to TOTALLY AND UTTERLY  invalidate my argument. Bobalugee1940 03:32, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

I admit the alien space bats mcdonalds is going o'er the edge. But the ASBs ARE interacting with people, they are just making them gods. Bobalugee1940 03:38, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

1438 Neapolitan Coup
I don't know how to react to the recent coup against the Neapolitan King. Should I support a (increasingly unlikely) restoration? Should I sever connections with the usurper? Or should I continue business as usual?

Would I be able to restore the former King of Naples if I waited until 1750-ish?

PM Mod Posts
I'm sorry about the posts. I have been in a series of lectures over the last week from 2100 UTC till 0600 UTC and have been very, very busy with very little time for Althist. I live in Australia which causes difficulties with some of my duties as a moderator but I am willing to cope with these and I compensate by plugging in the mod events before I leave. The reason I tend to post most of the mod posts is because I have been asked by DK to research the major natural disasters in OTL and post them in PM as I had approached him with many disasters he had missed through the 17th century. The Minister of Wars came out of the fact that I am good at Maths and I completed many algorythms. Industrialization is because I am heavily researched in the era from 1600 to modern day. I realize your point with Prussia and it is a good one therefore the Eastern half of Germany goes with your map and weatern half with mine. Again I apologize about rewriting your mod posts without explanation but please understand my current circumstance. Note the lectures finished today so everything should be all right.Scandinator 08:41, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
