Proposition
First I'd like to thank you for your kind words. I was so scared it was going to undo one of your edits to the TL, and there goes our friendly messaging :)
 * But yes, yes, yes, I'd love to help you. I was going to ask you if I could make a page for Achaea, but it's better you asked me first! I just have to finish up my Spanish studies and dinner is on its way, but I'm here and ready.

John, aka Mr.Xeight 00:00, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Flag
Oh, Red, you've truly outdone yourself a million times over! Your flag is absolutely great, if I were an alternate-Earth Roman citizen I'd be proud to say that is my flag! Mr.Xeight 16:43, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Why thank you :) I'm glad it was worth the hours of work I put into it. Though I'm very grateful for your idea of integrating the Palaiologos into the design, the plain eagle I had before that was bothering me haha. Anyway, how's your ideas for the Achaea page going :)

Oh, I was also wondering if I could have your opinion on the verisimilitude of my new geopolitical goals page, I'm still wondering if it's a worthwhile addition to the timeline.

Thank you once again! :) Red VS Blue 16:54, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, Achaea. I was thinking of somehow stopping any sort of Grecian Revolt, that way Greece wouldn't lose favor in the eyes of Rome and would continue to grow. Then Greek history would parallel Byzantine history; until Mankizert. Now the Greeks would have lierally all of Europe to defend its borders, the Seljuk Empire would be reduced to a shadow of itself, and the Greek provinces would continue to grow and thrive. Eventually Greek businessmen would hightail it to the New World in order to make some big bucks (well aureui), bringing Greek peasants as debt slaves and regular slaves as well, real slaves. The Greek merchants' business in their homeland might be replaced by other business from across the Empire, so there might be more of a cultural blend, but I doubt no more than Greece's population in our world, 99% Greek, 1% something else :D


 * And I read your Geopolitics page, and it gave me a hige insight, especially on how sinister Japan was, and still is. Just a question; how did Japan get to annex Cuba, and why did Roman (the clear ruler of the Caribbean) allow it?

Mr.Xeight 04:40, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Mm yes, I did write a Grecian Revolt in the Timeline, at the time I figured that Greece would be a very independent province and was rather likely to attempt a large rebellion. I can retcon it out, I was planning on adding a more precise timeline soon, so it's good you mentioned that now, or else I'd have to delete a bunch of paragraphs haha. I completely agree that the Greek province should dominate Mediterranean business, and Asian business due to proximity to the Suez and the Black Sea, and of course their connection to the sea would deeefinitely lead to colonizing the New World by Greeks. As for the ethnic percentages of Greece, I figured it would constitute a Roman-Greek and pure Greek blend. The Romans would definitely attempt to "colonize" one of their most prosperous regions, i.e. Greece. I just imagine that the Romans would be pretty extensive in their taking over of lands, much worse than OTL European colonists. That's just some food for thought anyway.


 * Hahaha yes well Japan needs that outlook just to have been able to survive being neighbors to the mighty Mongols. The Japanese got Cuba at the end of the Cubaguan Civil War in the 60's. Rome would allow them to have it as they wouldn't want to carry up the immense cost of integrating it into the Empire, especially after the island's capital was devastated by a nuke. The Japanese obviously would want it to create more living space for their crowded population and to move into the American (well Columbian :P) markets on the Atlantic side.

I do enjoy proving the plausibility of my timeline, so if you find anything else which seems a bit off, or wrong, please ask about it :) It's a big help to the timeline. Red VS Blue 02:11, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

I am so sorry I did not respond to your question earlier, a terriblebout of melancholy and sloth has set into me, I can't do much of anything for more than a minute lately. :(
 * I like what you have on Greece, though for me to ask for you to remove a Greek Revolt would be against the Alternate-Historian's Code of Honor, I do not mean to move in and establish a Helleni-wank Timeline. Besides my sibconscious nationalism peaking through my alt-history writer exterior, we work well IMO. Would you care to work on a timeline with me? I've been trying to get some partners for my "Genghis Khan Who?" Timeline. It's about East-Asian powers colonizing the world themselves, and eventually (just like in RL) the Rise of Europe. However, us stuffy Europeans have more competition, and when our colonization of the world starts, we find some very pertrbed Asians who don't particularly want competition. I'd like to stress we'd be equals in the timeline, nothing gets added without the other, no one has the final-say, we simply negotiate and finetune the oth person's work. What do you say? :D

Mr.Xeight 02:53, January 3, 2010 (UTC) Mr.Xeight 02:53, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

I just posted some ideas about Genghis Khan Who?, I'm about to move them to the AH's page. Feel free to criticize when you see it :) Mr.Xeight 23:40, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for cleaning that up. For some reason I always get the message that anything before the last edit is too old to revert. But thanks again! I thought about the AH, and I believe my old work to be too ASBish. I'd like to have a clean slate on the AH and us three work together on it, you're not getting off the hook on this one :) Just kidding, John Mr.Xeight 22:32, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. You're lucky I just happened to get on right then and there :P

Ok, sounds like a plan then. I'm a little bit busy in general, but I'll try to get on when I can, check out what's new, and offer my own input. I can't imagine it'll be too taxing. Red VS Blue 22:45, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Help?
Hey, would you like to help me create at least one article for my time-line? I currently need the articles of the four battles of the First Silk War (XI: Serica & Romanum) done... would you please help? Main details of the battles can be found on the First Silk War page as well. If you accept, please put the conflict infobox templates in the articles as well. At least one article would be helpful. Tinier details of the battles are up to you. Are you knowledgeable about Russian history and culture, by the way?

Well alright, as long as it has a good structure. I can pay you back by making an article for you on the next vacation.

And yes, the overall war article is complete. You can comment on it and suggest changes if you like, as we are partners.

Superpowers
I just had a little too much free time when I was wandering around Althistory Wiki, and I suddenly stumbled upon your Time-line. I read parts of it, I noticed there was something not quite right. Gunpowder was not discovered from rocks, it was (and still is) made with sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate, and sometimes with honey. Besides that, it's nice.Kagemoto vi Brooklyn 22:04, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * haha As might be noticed, to an ancient person, those look like rocks. Ya, at the time I wasn't going to put that, but I figured it would be weird if I said that an ancient mesoamerican was experimenting with solid materials, rocks just flowed nicely (figuratively flowing of course :P) I'm glad to see you like my timeline, and if you notice anything else that seems not quite right, feel free to ask :) I'm working on improving it and constructive criticism goes a long way to that end. Red VS Blue 22:41, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Your war articles are amazing! Well, perhaps I can help you with some articles over the weekend... any suggestions? 1/14 is my birthday, so I expect the teachers to be nice to me and give me less homework (the chances are slim to none though...). You're very talented, we can reach the stars together (or something like that, I'm not very good with idioms).Kagemoto vi Brooklyn 03:43, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Does slavery in this timeline exist to this day? If so, are Africans (African-Americans) enslaved? --Catherine 00:46, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier Kagemoto. Though if you ever have any ideas that would work well with my timeline, feel free to put them forward. Either on an article talk page specifically, or right here on my own discussion page.

Catherine, you can read more about the status of slavery in my timeline here Geopolitics. It does still exist, but is on a decline due to economic factors. Also, they would be Africans (Africanus in Latin), African-American is the "politically correct" term used by the media. It certainly doesn't apply to Africans living in Europe in a timeline with no America.

Superpowers is a featured TL
Congratulations, Superpowers is now a featured TL of the wiki. The portal page of the TL can now showcase the featured timeline template and the TL will also have a chance to show up on the main page of the wiki for an entire month. Before that can happen I need a short summary of the TL from you, plus any links or pics you want to appear with the summary. Featured TLs are chosen at random to appear on the main page, so I am not able to tell you right now when it will happen. Mitro 22:19, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Mitro. I have a picture that you can use for the main page, it's just a map for my timeline in the year 2000, so it's not on any other page yet. Not that it matters. Anyway, I'll be typing up the written part later this week, probably...There's no hurry for it though, am I correct?

Red VS Blue 23:45, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah take your time. The next two months are spoken for so you have some time. Mitro 23:59, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Remember when I said there was no hurry? Well the random selector has picked Superpowers to show up on the main page for the month of June. So please get me that written summary asap or else I am going to have to write one myself. Mitro 14:25, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh damn. Okay well here goes =>

Superpowers

It is the year 2000. A millennia old Roman Empire continues to tighten its grip over all the continents, nearly complacent in its virtual shield of space technologies. The Japanese merchants control the seas and influence the world's markets to best serve their Emperor's interests. Meanwhile the once mighty Platonist Socialism movement is still burned into everyone's memory following the destruction caused by the latest World War only a decade ago. Though all is not necessarily moving towards the better. The vast Mongol World Empire is catching up to the Alliance of Earth in technology and seems ready to even fight and win, should a pitched battle ever be fought. This stalemate is only kept in check by the atomic weaponry pointed right at the heart of the Mongol empire.

This is the world of Superpowers. A detailed history going back almost two thousand years and covering three points of divergences across each major continent. Centuries of technological advancements from automatic crossbows, and 18th Century Radio, to kinetic space artillery and laser rifles have been made and three World Wars over three hundred years fought for reasons as varied as colonialism to socialism. Everything has changed in a world that is almost alien from our own Earth as is the Moon. Though I hear the Moon's a nice place to visit this time of the month...

Will you please take time to read the Russian Expansion Timeline. Please give me a paragraph-long section of what I could do to expand and improve it. --Catherine 15:12, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Japan in Superpowers
I would like to make the page for Japan in the Superpowers timeline. I was wondering if you would allow me to do this?Vegas adict 16:52, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thats fine, I would apreciate it if you made the japan page and i'l offer what sugestions i have after you'v set out your main ideas--Vegas adict 20:21, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have two questions for you before i start work on Japans navy. One, Did Yamamoto or someone like him exist in the TL or does the big gun doctrine prevail and Secondly did capital ship construction proceed in a similar way to OTL (Battleships being replaced by Dreadnoughts + Battlecruisers which are then replaced by Nuclear Submarines + Cariers)?Vegas adict 19:38, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yamamoto? Like Isoroku Yamamoto? He's too far from after Japan started to diverge from OTL. Japan is identical to OTL up until about 1279, maybe a little bit before. It remains similar though, except in certain ideologies, up till the 1700's when it really starts to diverge.

Here's a general timeline of weapons development, with the Japanese following a similar development to the Romans in naval technology. Capital ships remained the primary part of all navies and even remain so in 2000 AD. Aircraft carriers were invented in 1893, and used to a slight degree during the Second World War ATL. They really started to see use by the three main powers, especially the Japanese, by the 1940's and 50's. Nuclear Submarines never came into use by anyone other than the Inca (though the Japanese build some in the 70's). Also the general trend of naval warfare was just building bigger and bigger ships, if that helps to know. I'm very impressed with your questions by the way. You clearly know what you're talking about. Red VS Blue 21:20, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I will start the page tomorow but i just wanted to give you the basic idea before hand. With regards to tradition i envision it being similar to OTL Royal Navy (Very confident, disciplined and skilled).Strategicly i view them having three to four supercariers per ocean alongside several carriers that are similar to OTL Nimitz class , these would be backed up by groups of ships similar to OTL Battlecruisers which could intercept enamy vessels or those carrying illegal goods. as well as this they would have a battleship fleet in the home islands and several hundred flotilas of smaller ships would roam the seas. I suspect the nuclear subs would be used in this role as well. Hopefully this is ok with youVegas adict 22:01, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Very good! I assume that by Supercarrier you're referring to the Peninsula-Class that my Timeline mentions. In any case, it sounds like you have a very good idea of what you're doing, and I agree with everything you've said so far. So good luck to you, and I look forward to reading what you come up with. Red VS Blue 23:14, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I'v finished most of the artical Nippon Kaigun (Superpowers) and i'd apreciate your thoughts on it, unfortunatly i have had to mention technology slightly as it is imposible not to when talking about how a navy adapts to it.Vegas adict 19:56, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Oh don't worry about it if you mentioned technology. As long as I can change those technology parts to better fit my idea of the timeline, then I don't mind what you add.

Oh my! That was quite an enjoyable read. It's clever, detailed and well thought-out, an amazing addition to my Timeline. I especially like how its tied in with the rest of my timeline, even the technological references are good. Job well done I'd say. Or is there more perhaps?

The little anecdotes are especially good, like the emperor's daughter one, as I think those are always a welcome addition to a timeline. I myself like to throw in that kind of thing frequently. Might I ask where you got the rank insignias? They remind of the British ones, just a bit though. Red VS Blue 21:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :) The rank insignias are that of the OTL IJN.The artical itself is finished but if there's any other navy articals or ones to do with japan that need Creating/updating and you havn't got the time yourself tell me as I'm more than happy to help out (mainly because superpowers is such a good TL).Vegas adict 21:43, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Anyways, for the moment everything is fine, I'll be less busy in another week so it'll be easier for me to work alongside people then. For now, if you just have any opinions or thoughts on pages in my timeline in general just bring them up, I'm always looking to improve it and I appreciate the value in what you might have to say about it. There is always something to improve! Red VS Blue 22:26, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

I am asking for a Map
Hello, I am Calthrina950. I have heard you make maps. Can you please create or at least find a map of Europe in the year, 1200, that can be edited by others, almost like the maps on Europe 1430 (Map Game). I would really appericate it, since I want to develop a new map game. Thanks if you can! --Catherine 00:06, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Mongol Empire
I love this Timeline! It's very wonderful, but one thing I'm kinda annoyed at is that you spent so much work into all the Rome-Related articles, but not even one Mongol World Empire Article! I would recomend having small articles for all the nations, then getting into the kind of detail you got into with the Romans. Just a thought though.....Eastward Expansion 13:15, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * And a very good thought at that! It's true, Rome is my specialty and so I have the easiest time writing those articles, others are more slow going. It is true though, I should have made articles for the other countries, I haven't taken the time to do much research though sadly.

But! If you'll advise me on it, I could start the Mongol article now and get it up to Rome standards by the end of the month. I assume you know far more on the Mongols than I do, right? There's only so much general history books can tell me. Red VS Blue 13:24, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Right! The Mongol Empire happens to be one of my specialties! What would you like advise on? Eastward Expansion 14:23, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I find it interesting that the capital of your Mongol Empire is Temujin. I would have guessed that the capital would be the same as OTL Mongol empire (which would have been Karakorum). Also I noticed that you used the first Khan's (or Khagan's) real name for your capital. Interesting. Eastward Expansion 14:38, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does that make sense? Would the Mongols honor their "founding father" like that? I figured that to better integrate themselves with the Chinese, they'd have a capital further into China. At the same time, I didn't think they'd use a Chinese capital, since that might cause some problems. Founding a new city made sense to me. Does that make sense? Or would it never have happened? Red VS Blue 14:45, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * That does make a good idea. Eastward Expansion 15:12, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Say why don't you have a religion under religion for the Mongols? And what religion would you chose, I mean various Mongols have been Muslim, Buddhist, Confucian, or the original belief system of the mongols, Tengriism. Maybe it depends on the country or area linked to the religion Islam (middle east) Buddhist (most far east nations) Confucian (China and Korea) or Tengriism (Mongolia).Eastward Expansion 15:17, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Genghis Khan is believed to have been Tengriistic, but as time went on the Mongols usually adopted what ever religion of the people they just conquered. And they were very tolerant towards other religions.Eastward Expansion 15:20, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you mentioned that. I wasn't entirely sure what would be the dominant Mongol religion. Would they even have a State Religion? I figure I'd make it close to that of the Chinese since I have the Khagan ruling by their Mandate of Heaven. Buddhism seems to be the best choice, with Confucianism as an ideology (as its not exactly a religion per say). You're right though, the idea that specific regions would be dominated by specific religions would be the most likely situation. Red VS Blue 16:05, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. So you're going with Buddhism? And Eastward Expansion 18:16, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well on the state religion matter, the historical Mongol Empire was probable one of the most religiously tolerant empires of its time. However many Khans (especially during Post-Imperial times) were Buddhists who encouraged that religion over others. Buddhist Monks were very high in society.Eastward Expansion 18:28, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh and Buddhist Monks have been considered the armed forces for various times in China and Mongolia. Before China invaded Tibet, Tibet used Buddhist Monks as the armed forces. Eastward Expansion 18:54, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey I noticed one major mistake! In your world map that shows all the countries, Mongolia controls the island of Taiwan. But in the map showing just the Mongol Empire, Taiwan is not controlled by the Mongols. Eastward Expansion 20:24, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you need a mongol flag? I'll make you one and see if you like it. If you don't I'll just delete it. Eastward Expansion 20:53, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oh wow, many questions! =P Yes, I'm going with Buddhism as the state religion, though others will feature prominently as well of course. One direction I wanted to take with the Mongols is that they are brought over to be more Chinese. So even the ethnicities mix and Mongolian culture takes on many aspects of Chinese culture, basically unifying them. Does that seem like a possibility?

Oh, right. I made that map in a bit of a hurry and forgot that Taiwan was part of the Mongol Empire, i'll get to that don't worry. Hmmm, a flag? Yes, that would be very helpful actually. I didn't know what direction to take with that, so if you have something in mind I'd be more than happy to accept it. Red VS Blue 21:20, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well for the flag, I'm trying to use Mongolian Symbols of the cosmos (which will be blue, because even though the Mongols aren't Tengriistic any more, blue sky would still be one of the most important things to then) on a background that's the same color as the mongols on your map.Eastward Expansion 11:54, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * And maybe you the army of the Mongol World Empire to be Buddhists Monks like I said before? Or not....Eastward Expansion 11:54, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well? Do you like this flag? It's not the complexity level of your other flags, but....Eastward Expansion 12:25, June 14, 2010 (UTC)Mongol_World_Flag.jpg

Marvelous =D Flags can never be too simple or too complex, remember that! A Flag is what it is and this one is great! I understand completely what symbolism you're using in the flag and I think it fits nicely with a Mongol/Chinese Empire. I'll make some minor cosmetic changes, like straightening out lines and making it the same dimensions as my other flags, but it is definitely ideal for my timeline.

As for the Buddhist monk army, I have seen something on Buddhist Warrior Monks, and I admit they are quite impressive. I can see them being kind of like a Special Forces arm of the Mongol army, though the Golden Horde will always be its primary part. I'll be adding all of this to the timeline soon. Thank you so much! Anything else you have in mind for the moment? Red VS Blue 13:07, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I noticed you left ethnic groups blank, in you Mongol Empire template. And in the article, you said Mongolia has surprisingly little diversity. In OTL the area controlled by the Mongol Empire does have less diversity than you would expect from an area that large. So are you just going to put Mongolian and Chinese for your ethnic groups? Oh thanks for your kind words on the flag! Eastward Expansion 13:52, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

haha Don't mind the blanks. I don't do it all at once, I usually wait till things just come to me and I write it down. I still haven't considered the ethnic diversity of the Mongol Empire though I guarantee there will be over 10 mentioned groups. The majority though will be Mongol, Chinese and a mix of them, seeing as how the OTL China region is really fertile land and the Mongols tended to devastate the natives in their conquests. As I said, I have very little expertise in that region, I mostly work off of logic and what I can get from books. Does what I've put up so far make sense though? Red VS Blue 20:53, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

What you've put so far does make since. But some of the languages don't really make since. For instance, unless things have changed in Superpowers, Lhasa is not a language. It you're talking about the language the people in Lhasa, Tibet speak that's called Standard Tibetan. Phnom Penh, which you mention as a language is also a city. A like that your saying Vietnamese in Vietnamese instead of English though.Eastward Expansion 21:29, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see what I did wrong. I tried using the ancient language names, but it turns out they're just the anthropological names given to the languages. That would explain why they were named after places. I'd very much appreciate your help in fixing that. Standard Tibetan is too "OTL" to be used as a name sadly. Though would I be right in guessing that you know what could be put in its place? =D Red VS Blue 22:33, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Tibet is actually an Arabic word for "the heights". Tibetans call their land Bho, or sometimes pronounced Pho. Since you call the Mongolian People Mongolianus, you could call Tibetans Bholianus.

As for a language for "Phnom Penh" you actually already have a the language they use(d) there.

Khmer. So far it seems the Khmer are playing a very small role in your timeline.Eastward Expansion 11:52, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that you were being very nice and letting Vegas Addict do a page on the Japanese Navy. I was wondering if you would let me to a page on the Mongolian Army. Here are my ideas, So? Would you mind if I did?Eastward Expansion 20:37, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The Army would be named "Khan's Boong" or "Subutai Boong" (Boong, I just researched, is the Mongolian word for Army, and Subutai was the top general and leading tactician of the mongol army during the first two Khans)
 * 2) Like you said before, I would use Buddhist Monks as a special forces of the Boong (PROUNOUNCED: Boo-NIG)
 * 3) A modern version of the Golden Horde would be the bulk of the army.
 * 4) You can't go wrong with Tanks using medieval Mongol strategies. Sun Tzu's art of war would make a good manual...

Oh, ok I'll make that change to the languages then. Thank you kindly.

Hmmm, Mongolian Army is one of my most important ones and I have future plans for it, so that one is off limits I'm afraid. However, I give you permission to work on the Mongolian's Navy or Air Force together with me, or even a Mongol Culture page. Alternatively, you can also create a Special Forces page, for those Buddhist Monks. I have a Roman special forces page, so a Mongol one would be a wonderful addition. Furthermore, I need a consultant on the Mongol Army page, and I would be very pleased if you would be that consultant. What'll it be? Your choice :) Red VS Blue 21:13, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I would love to help you on anything you want me to! I think until you start the Mongol Army Page, I'm going to do Mongolian Culture and the Special forces. I've chosen to name the specials, Ongtsegheon (Mongolian word for Special). If you need me to name anything with its Mongolian word, I translate it for you! And then spell it using our alphabet.Pages for the other things you mentioned, I will do as soon as I'm done with these two.Eastward Expansion 12:00, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Ah! I'm liking what you have so far on the Mongolian special forces. The addition of forts and bases already is quite nice! I look forward to the rest of it for certain.

I do find it a little funny though that the name for their special forces is their word for special haha Funny in a good way I assure you. Naming things is always an amusing thing to do. And thank you very much for your offer to serve as my translator. I admit the languages are what usually blocks me from working on non-Roman pages to an extent, so a translator is very helpful indeed. Red VS Blue 22:45, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Great! I'm just about to continue the page, so if you see anything wrong or contradictory just let me know.Eastward Expansion 23:40, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Superpowers Edit
Hello. If I could ask, would it be possible to create an article for the Incan Empire? I would love to help out on the article, though. Sorry if this sounds a bit mean, haha.

Thank you,

rcox1995

I will be creating an article for the Incan Empire in due time, though given the present work I have to do on this website, and more importantly other things I'm concerned with elsewhere it will be hard to get that done anytime soon. Perhaps in a week or two. Though if you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to post them here and I'll look through them when the time comes. What do you think of that? Red VS Blue 01:05, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

True, true....Okay, thank you. That is good.

rcox1995

Okay, I'll be starting the Inca Empire article this weekend, so get your ideas ready! =D Red VS Blue 20:50, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, thanks! I will get them ready, haha!

rcox1995

Mongols (Continued...)
I was looking through your list of wars in Superpowers and decided that the first Mongol War the Ongtsegheon would take part in would be the Fourth Mongol Expansion. Since a part of that was the invasion of Japan (and Japan is still independent) that the Mongols lost that one. Can you tell me what you had in mind for that war, and give me a list of the wars (and dates) the Mongols were in? Thanks =) Eastward Expansion 14:03, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Woah, that might be a little hard. I'll give you a write up of what view I have of it in my head right now, but it won't be fully comprehensive yet. Also a complete list of wars would be difficult, there is however an article Wars (Superpowers) that might be of help to you. When compared to the Timeline (Superpowers) its not too hard to have every war in which the Mongols took part in that's been recorded so far. You wouldn't need all of the wars anyway, right? Sorry if that wans't helpful. Red VS Blue 20:50, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh thanks! I've already seen the Wars page, but I need to check out the timeline page. Thanks again!Eastward Expansion 21:24, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for clearing that up! I'll make sure they have to deal with the Khmer! Eastward Expansion 13:03, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * And did you like the badges for ranks? The Mongol Flag is really pixilated...Eastward Expansion 13:05, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh I noticed one thing about the Khmer. When you're talking about the people you say "The Khmer", but you are calling them "The Khmerians". There is no such thing as Khmerians. Eastward Expansion 13:14, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I noticed that flag was really pixelated. I also remember that you wanted the flag's line to be straight and you wanted it the same size as your other flags. So I made a new flag for the Mongols.Mongol_Imperial_World_Flag.png
 * =D Yes! Thank you. I was worried it'd be too demanding to ask you to change the flag again so I tried to do so myself. But embarrassingly I failed. So you've definitely saved my skin with that one haha

As for that Khmer thing I had realized that in my research when I was at about the year 1900 in my timeline and I just decided that changing them all would be a waste of my time. If you see any specific ones go ahead and change them but it's just one of the things on my list of things to get to lol

I did indeed see that rank badges, very flag-esque. They're appropriate for such a structured organization though. Kudos to another great piece of visual work! Red VS Blue 02:27, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh no! I enjoy helping out in Superpowers! Thank you for voting Yes for Quetzalcoatl's World. Soon I should continue the Ongtsegheon article and then start the other Mongol article....

Eastward Expansion 01:18, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Which Mongol articles have you in mind to work on? I'm feeling anxious to start really expanding my timeline! Red VS Blue 02:58, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

The ones that you mentioned above (culture and airforce of the Mongols). And by the way, did you have anything in mind for something like where the Romans make movies showing the Ongtsegheon as monsters? (I know that was terrible grammar) Or other Roman anti-Ongtsegheon propaganda?Eastward Expansion 14:30, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Incan Empire
The edits were minor, lol. I don't know, I would like to focus on the Inca's involvement with other countries throughout the centuries, and also their involvements in the Great War and the Global War.

Interesting, but any specific suggestions perhaps? I haven't put up much yet, so you can wait till there's more to look over first. I plan to work on it over the course of the week. Red VS Blue 03:16, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I will probably wait until there is more up, and I will then edit it more. Thanks.

Japan (Continued)
Is it ok if i create an artical on the Japanese Naval Air Arm/ Japanese Airforce as thier closely tied together and to the Japanese Navy?Vegas adict 15:31, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

For the moment no, but once I get back from my trip I'll look more into the importance of the Japanese Air Force and see if there's anything specific that I need to add first. Keep your hopes up though, I'll most likely give my consent. Red VS Blue 02:27, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Can i go ahead with the Japanese Air Force?Vegas adict 19:23, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you may start the Japanese Air Force page. Though first, what will you be calling it? I'm looking for something at least moderately complex. Red VS Blue 02:58, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'l be calling it the Nippon no mottomo takai kūgun (Literaly:the most high air forces of Japan) however i probabley won't be starting on it for at least another week as i'm trying to finish off my plan for the Balklans in Wasteland Europe and will be going away to germany for a week soon.Vegas adict 15:44, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's alright, it'll give me some time to work on some more of my Japanese articles, and even make some edits of my own to the Navy page. Well, have fun on your trip! Red VS Blue 13:23, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Strategy
Are you going to go any further with Strategy? ProfessorMcG 18:34, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

I do indeed, I have quite a bit to add. I'll be away at a friend's cottage for the next few days, so there won't be any additions for a few days, probably. But once I get back I plan to focus on that and keep work going on my timeline as well. Red VS Blue 02:22, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

I thought you might like to know that the Total War games were designed by Michael Simpson (Who lives in my neighboring town!!) and Risk was designed by the french film director Albert LamorisseVegas adict 19:23, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * haha Most fascinating! =D I had wrote that in jest though, glad to see it's been noticed =P Red VS Blue 02:58, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Apologies and a Fond Farewell
Good morning, Red VS Blue,
 * First off I'd like to start with an apology. I'm deeply sorry for just up-and-leaving your TL like that; I have too many real world problems, I'm too easily distracted, and I was disillusioned into thinking I could create a successful AH of my own, and well I got all of my priorites mixed up and slowly forgot about all the TLs that mattered. Regrettably over the months I began to forget about yours, but all of that changes. As much as I would like to help you with everything I promised (the Greek provinces, Greek Diaspora, and Greek-derived loanwords used by the Romans), I've become rather saddened by the decay of this wikia, and I've decided that for the few days I'll be here that I should try to warn the members of this site that things can get much worse than they've already become while being as rude as possible in the process. So, I have to officially give up all that I promised to help you with, for which I deeply apologize. I'm so happy to see that I've been replaced by people who are actually, shall we say "better" and more reliable than me that you can have fun with, and I'm so happy that your AH has grown twofold since I last visited. So, I won't be forgetting your Superpowers ATL any time soon, and I'll rather miss the fun we had.


 * Cheers,

Brian Constantine John Mr.Xeight 05:56, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hello fellow-John :)
 * First I have to say thank you very much; even though I would constantly wonder away, you still took the time and effort to write such a wonderful and king letter to me, and for that not only am I grateful, but utterly amazed at how you are proof that humanity is kind and forgiving (something you might like to know; I'm a huge proponent that humanity is intrisically good and don't particularly like when people say humanity is programmed to like violence and that essentially we're programmed to be savage; just a random fact for you :D).
 * Your kind words have actually convinced me that I should stay, there's no reason I have to "go out with a bang" by being as rude as possible to everyone before I go. So, will you take me back? However, I leave for Greece at 4:15 AM July 1st and won't be back until the 20th (or 21st depending on what time and the whole eight-hour difference between Chicago-Time and UTC+02 Time), so I only have a small window of opportunity to go on my computer tomorrow. So, when I return, will you take me back? Again, thank you very much for being so kind and forgiving.
