Skywalker Ranch
Unfortunately, it'd be, far as I can determine, right in the path of fallout from Edwards AFB and/or Mare Island. Lordganon (talk) 11:32, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Edwards is within easy fallout range of the region.

San Francisco does not have the same wind direction as areas north of it. And, more important, WNW is, for all purposes, blowing west.

There'd no weather stations in those communities, Crim. While they have a lot of info for most places, wind direction isn't one of them. If there was no wind that day, then it would say zero, or something to that effect. It being blank means that no one recorded it, as there was no weather station there.

That DD map, with regards to the west coast, is not accurate. Not even close. Winds west of the Rockies go west, and winds east of them go east. The map itself is also designed for high-altitude fallout, not the low stuff that we deal with.

Sorry, Crim, but it gets fallout more or less dead-on.

Lordganon (talk) 10:30, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

The wind direction indicates the direction from which the wind would be coming, not the direction it is blowing. A wind blowing from WNW (292.5 degrees) would take wind to the ESE (112.5 degrees), or almost east. Meanwhile, the wind direction in Sacramento is from the SSW, and thus "blowing" NNE (22.5 degrees), or basically north. The weather reports are clear, surface winds are indeed in Skywalker Ranch's favor. Depending on the size of the blasts over San Francisco, there may have been some damage, though they were 30 miles away. Likewise, the blast over Travis Air Force Base, a target between Sacramento and Skywalker Ranch, is over 30 miles away.

As for the "low stuff that we deal with" here, it would be survivable unless we assume ground bursts. The gamma radiation is absorbed within micro-seconds of the blast. Therefore, the irradiated particles in question are mostly material in the vaporized casing of the bomb itself and not so much the debris drawn up into the resulting mushroom cloud. If the blast(s) over San Francisco forced fallout along the shockwave, the distance in all directions would distribute the high level radioactive material significantly, lessening its overall toxicity.

Though George Lucas did not live at the ranch, it was a "film-makers retreat." This means that on any given weekend he or his associates may have been there. September 25, 1983, was a Sunday, so a little research would be needed to determine the population of this micro-state. It would survive, but as to how well is dependent on the resourses and the resourcefulness of the live-in staff. Another thing to consider is contact with the California Republic, which reaches to Vallejo across San Pablo Bay from Novato and the ranch. SouthWriter (talk) 20:11, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

My bad, Crim. Don't know why I kept thinking of Edwards as Travis was right in front of me, lol. Look at Travis AFB, not Edwards AFB.

Mare Island is not at Novato.

Moreover, you're wrong about it having "still" conditions. If you look at data on that site, you'll find that aside from temperature, there is little data around that time period. Simply put, they didn't get any data to write down. That is not the same as a "zero." Crim, the area is known for its winds. There was wind, simply put.

Crim, that fallout map, and patterns like that, are long range fallout. Atmospheric winds, and overall wind patterns, over all areas and averaged over the course of a year - wind direction does, in fact, change over the course of a year in many area. Not the short range stuff, or where it would initially go. By and large, of course, the ground winds do follow a pattern similar to that.

But, the West Coast? Not at all. There are many more factors at play, and different winds. The area in question, for instance, is one where there are major disruptions in these patterns. The winds, in fact, generally follow the shape of the bay.

I admit, I misread the wrong column in a table before. That being said, it doesn't change the fact that the area is screwed.

In San Franciso and Oakland, the winds come from the west, right off the ocean. To the south of the bay, in and around San Jose, the winds come from the northwest. But, the rest of the bay(s)? The winds come from the south. Virtually all the weather stations in the area have records saying this is the case, overall, at that time of year. Not a limited thing, either. The winds go northwards to a point well beyond the northern shores of the bay.

Now, think about that. The wind will bring fallout from the two cities northwards. And this was a pair of confirmed ground strikes - megaton sized to boot. While it will turn northeast eventually, the Ranch is screwed. Any survivors will be very small in number, and more or less toast.

Your neighbor, Manchuria. Their colonies are getting a little to big a little to quickly for my liking. Not to mention that is all they do, is expand their colonies. I say we do a coalition war. You can take Manchuria in it's entireity, with certain trade rights for me, as long as I get their new world colonies. CourageousLife (talk) 23:57, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'll accept the deal. -Kogasa  2013年2月27日 17:51:40 (JST)

Personally, I like China. So I won't invade Malacca if you really care(though I will say that your plans to vassalize it are a bit selfish). I'm just letting you know that the Venetians are planning on doing the same from what i've read.AP (talk) 04:10, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Would you please not invade Sundabang and its vassal Jambi please, because Mataram/Orissa have interests there. We will not interfere in any way with Malacca. :L  Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:05, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure either Mataram or the SOC (the South Oceans Company) wouldn't mind that at all! Increased trade!! While we are here, Crim would you like to return to Red Sun, as it id your TL.

No one has worked on it much, and I am trying to sort out the human history, but I need to know what you had in mind for the humans and stuff... :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:28, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

So, I realize that the Mayans aren't the most plausible nation on Earth. I want to try and change that, because I see that I'm rubbing the mods the wrong way. Do you have some suggestions for actions that you would consider plausible for me to do right now? CourageousLife (talk) 20:06, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, the picture really got the point across! CourageousLife (talk) 17:45, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Speaking of which, how close are you with Manchuria? CourageousLife (talk) 17:54, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, we want to invade it. Luxembourg wants the colony on Vancouver, he wants the other one, and you can get the motherland of Manchuria.

17:55, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I thought. CourageousLife (talk) 01:52, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Axis vs Allies
This is Germany. We have a proposal for you. Obviously you have been pushed out of Korea and China. I have a deal for you. After I finish off Yugoslavia, I plan to have a year of peace and then to attack the USSR with the help of Spain, Portugal (vassal), Vichy France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania. It will not be an attack the USSR will survive. So, I have a deal for you. You can either just sit back and watch the world change without you, or you can participate and get back the northern Sakhalin Island, as well as parts of China. I'm sure Korea's player won't mind getting some land in Manchuria. You can then expand your empire like in OTL to Indochina, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Australia. This is basically a risk-free war for you. You can't lose any more land, but you can gain a huge reward. I, on the other hand, am putting my entire country at risk. So, are you with me? Thanks.

PMII
I'd like to discuss several things regarding in-game stuff. Scandinavia would like to increase its trade with the Far East, but its nearest territory is Bengal. That's only good for extensive trading in the Indian Ocean, etc. What we would like is to negotiate the purchase of Hong Kong or the island of Hainan or Macau. We are very flexible.AP (talk) 07:47, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Crim! I have offered help in-game to your campaign against Tibet in return for Kashmir and a small slice of Tibet (negociable). Do you agree to the offer? :L  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:43, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

I would like this, that is all. And as soon as you accept my offer for aid, I'll be sending you some troops. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:56, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Crim, I got bad news. The war will take 5 years to finish, not two. Appently Collie said it was because Tibet had been inactive soo long its development would be counted like an NPC. :(

Hey i'm playing as the Australian Aboriginies and i was hoping, as one of the mods, if you will look at my posts in 1668 defending the plausibility of what i am doing.

Battle of Earth Collaborative Timeline?
So I know you are probably busy with that other collaborative timeline that you just recently started, but I randomly thought of this idea and I thought I should show it to you for your approval. The idea is that, instead of creating a map game about this universe again, we (meaning us two, other previous players of the game, and people who might be interested) create a collaborative timeline similar to Doomsday or something like that.

Obviously, that would be a large undertaking, but it does have some advantages over map games. It would let us moderate the history and articles a little easier. Further still, it would not depend on players for its continuation and "playability," nor would it be deleted should there be a very long lull in activity. Also, since it is not a map game, it would not be overshadowed by games such as PMII.

I'm thinking that the timeline would grow quickly should such a thing be done. There is you, me, Scraw, and perhaps others of the original games who are around pretty consistently, and that doesn't include others who might contribute.

This is just an idea, but let me know what you think.

Monster Pumpkin (talk) 21:31, April 12, 2013 (UTC)

That is by all means fine. I just wanted to know if you were interested.

"Claim an honour"(Of Clockwork and Men...)
Hi. On the timeline you have:

February 8th, 1872: An inventor creates an airship known to be safer and easier to produce.

Can Rembert-Cabal Aeronautics claim the honour of being the firm, with Marzhin Cabal being the inventor?

Please.

Deaths and Great War.
Hi. With my articles I have put both rembert and Cabal dying on the Otl last day of WW1. I am assuming that there will be a world war 1 and have put these dates in as filler. Would I be correct in assuming Germany wins the war?

Also what is your (rough) plan for the Franco-Prussian war? This is rather important as I cannot progress much without knowing if France wins/loses/gets all but killed etc. I'd be happy to come up with it if you don't have one.

Koori Union PMII
Hello, i don't believe we have spoken before so let me introduce myself. I am Hailstormer and i am playing as the Koori Union in PMII. The reason i am contacting you is i am very interested in your Hawaiian colony. You may have noticed i just purchased a large number of islands from Japan, and i wish to expand upon this. In return for your Hawaiian colony i would offer a large sum of gold, a number of resources only found in Australia, an aliiance, and membership of the Koori Trading Company. Membership of the KTC means that you will be able to use the ports of  KTC members freely for trade, effectively forming a powerful trade bloc. Currently only me and Japan are members, but this should soon expand. Feel free to get back to me when ready, and i hope my deal appeals to you. Hailstormer (talk) 16:12, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Whilst i am disappointed about Dongfang, i am glad you wish to join the KTC. As i said previously, all members of the KTC shall have free docking and free trading in each other's ports, so i am glad you are willing to accept this. Just two questions. Firstly, do you have a flag? If so could you post a link on my page please as i am making the KTC page atm. Secondly, could you post a request below the Koori post in 1685 for membership to the KTC to formalise this. Thanks in advance. Hailstormer (talk) 19:13, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Ok i have added you to the page. Feel free to request membership when ready so it can be formalised. Hailstormer (talk) 20:06, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
