Nostalgia and Happiness
Hey, Scraw. Been some time since we've both been active.

Listen, AP, MP, and myself are resurrecting TEvCP, and we're shooting for a real oldie, a throwback to the old, fun games, like SOCr and SOA5. You know, doesn't take itself too seriously, but maintains plausibility, etc. Should be fun lol.

Want in?

02:41, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome. Check in here for more info. MP just archived everything, so we should be good.

22:18, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

TEvCP
The Venezuelans have decided to default on their debt to us.

Wanna go fuck em up with me?

21:11, October 22, 2014 (UTC)

Actually, all jokes aside, I think this is the best solution all round. You, me, the two most powerful nations on Earth... sounds good, huh?

So, come on, join in. It's not like anything bad will happen!

21:48, October 22, 2014 (UTC)

Scraw, I was wondering if it would at all be possible in TEvCP, now that you have control over the Transvaal and Orange Free State, if I could play as a sort of ATL Union of South Africa consisting of the Orange River, Transvaal, Natal, and Cape Colony, much like the other Dominions of the British Empire? I was also wondering if you would be fine with me having Basutoland. I intend to remain as a Dominion, rather than follow the OTL course of SA and sever ties with the UK. To do this, however, I will need a large influx of Brits in order to eventually have a white majority as much as possible going into a multiracial government (to prevent black nationalism from catching wind and destroying foreign investment).

What do you think? 07:43, October 23, 2014 (UTC)

Congress of Vienna - Reinstalled
OKay, my older, ASB map game Congress of Vienna (Map Game)  is being restarted at Congress of Vienna - Reinstalled (Map Game). I'm looking for players. Wanna join?

Also, please take a look at the algorithm and give your opinions.

I'll be pleased to welcome you. Please join, I believe that your map game experiences would be a valuable addition to my map game. Can you please also invite other people to join?

Please reply soon, as the game starts this Monday.

PS I revised the rules, it will start in 1816.

"called to action" vs "called into action"
Looks like both are correct.

Re: Latin
Sure thing, I'm glad I can be of help. If I understand correctly you want the months to be entirely based on numbers, which is fine, but I just wanted to note that you might find interesting stories in some other names too. For example, the month Ianuarius (January) comes from the god Janus, who is the god of beginnings, openings, doorways, etc, symbolizing how January is the beginning or entrance into the new year. Although with that said I don't know the circumstances of your timeline, and can't really advise you in that regard.

Anyway, month trivia aside, here are all the months represented purely as numbers. Note this removes all months not named after a number, and uses either cardinal (One, two, etc) or ordinal (first, second, etc) Latin words to form them:


 * Primilis
 * Secundilis
 * Tertilis
 * Quartilis
 * Quintilis
 * Sextilis
 * September
 * October
 * November
 * December
 * Undecimber
 * Duodecimber

I hope that helps you, and let me know if you have any questions on these words, or need any other advise or help in regards to Latin. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 20:08, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

I saw your edit on your sandbox, and as an added note, I recommend using the following months for your older calender: Ianuarius, Februarius, Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Iunius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December, probably in that order, although orders can vary (if you want it to be more religious in nature perhaps start at Martius and cycle through in the same way). If Julius Caesar and Augustus exist in your timeline, Quintilis is the one renamed to Iulius, while Sextilis can be renamed to Augustus. Regardless of which ones you use, here are a few things to remember; no "J"s, they should be "I"s, and Jupiter is spelled Iovis, not Jovus. In regards to the ones named after the gods, I wouldn't recommend similarly having their name as the name of the month. Janus is changed to Januarius for example, so perhaps Iovis becomes Iovuarius?

A note about dating things. The Romans didn't say "3 March" or what have you, but rather referenced the day's relation to a fixed point. These points are the Kalendae (first day of the month), Nonae (eight days before the ides, so either fifth or seventh day of the month), and the Idus (ides; thirteenth day in months of 29 days, fifteen day on months with 31 days). The day before each of these days is the Pridie. For the day you take a ordinal number and count backwards from the reference day, counting the reference day itself as day one. Dates are written with the abbreviation "a.d. NN" which stands for "on the numerous (Nth) day before the nomen (named reference point)". Today for example is a.d. V Kal. Dec., "the fifth day before the Kalends of December". The only days where this isn't necessary is the Pridie (and as such you'll never see "the second day before" since you can just use that), or on a reference day itself.

You can also refer to dates by their respective festival, although this is mostly done after the Ides of February. Make sure that the reference points line up, and if you add days do so at the end of the month, so that festivals aren't messed up. Although this can have the effect of changing people's birthdays, like in Augustus' case, which is why he sometimes celebrated on both days.

Next here is a brief note on years. You are using AUC, which is good, but if you want to be more accurate to the Romans you'd go by consular year. AUC wasn't used until the late Republic, and can vary by source, which is why it can be a bit frustrating at times. Since consuls were elected yearly, you could refer to the year by what consuls were in office. Using Marius' first year as consul for example, 107 BC would be "The year of the consulship of Lucius Cassius Longinus and Gaius Marius".

There's some additional information to consider. Let me know if you have any further questions. Mscoree (talk) 20:39, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, as long as there were consuls they would/could use consular years. Consuls were regularly elected throughout the duration of the empire, until its collapse, and into the ninth century within the Byzantine Empire (Leo the Wise is noted as abolishing consular dating). During the empire however systems like AUC became used as well, followed of course by Anno Domini in the sixth century. As an example of how far the consular years continued to be referenced, at the time of AD's adoption it was noted that the present year was "the consulship of Probus Junior" by its creator Dionysius Exiguus, which was to be 525 AD. Mscoree (talk) 23:19, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, you can do "Undecimilis" and "Duodecimilis" instead of "Undecimber" and "Duodecimber" respectively, if you want. Or just add in some sort of non number-related month. Mscoree (talk) 23:23, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

Knightfall
Hello Scraw, I was alerting you that you are invited to a new closed-group timeline by the name of Knightfall that was thought of by Guns and I. Basically in the TL, Ogedei Khan doesn't die right before the Mongols invade Western Europe and they go on to conquer much of the continent, as the Holy Roman Empire was weak at the time due to the College of Cardinals being busy electing a new Pope in Rome, with the current Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II, camped outside the walls of Rome. If you are interested, feel free to sign up and we'll get the ball rolling soon hopefully.

You said yourself that if Lordganon (or someone else) tried to vote after the deadline then you'd put a stop to them. I guess now we will see if that was true, as Lordganon and others have done just that. Harvenard2 (talk) 19:22, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Old Nicholas II
Hey! Good question. His name is, grandson of King. George and Nicholas had such a striking resemblance that I figured any of George's descendants would also have an uncanny likeness to Nicholas (I seemed to be right!), and so I looked around until I found him.

I'm not totally sure, I think we may be stuck up on the same issue that we had before concerning the changes made to continents already existing. I have to admit, some of the changes to some of the established continents I don't really like, and I feel like they are simply changed for the sake of being changed, whereas I think they would make the TL much more interesting if they remained unchanged and interacted with something that was new. Those are just my thoughts, though, and we can see how this all turns out.

Brazils nuclear program
Just FYI my nuclear program is a piggy back off of OTL research done in 1938 in Sao Paulo into its applications for power. So its not implausible, in fact the main focus is power and not a bomb currently, however that can be done. I will not be the first nation to get a bomb so if thats what your worried about then dont worry. Other than that i can plausibly have a bomb by 1949-51 given my cooperation with various other nations, Right now my scientific expertise would leave me to independent get it between 1953-55. Considering my uranium deposits thats doable. So yeah i can plausibly build nukes itll just take me longer.

Sorry, new mod decisions

 * Germany requested, but was ignored in 1964.5, 1965, 1965.5 and 1966. They have made a new requeste in 1966.5.


 * Lichtenstine made the same request in 1965.5 and 1966.


 * Canada just made one in 1966.5.

PM3 Antarctica
In order to avoid some sort of conflict (over a largely useless area no less), I propose that Spain, Brazil, Germany, and who ever else wishes, should create a formal treaty recognizing legitimate and organized claims. I am prepared to recognize you as owner of a fairly large chunk, I only ask that my chunk (OTL Weddell Sea, Coat’s Land, Droning Maud Land, various islands) be respected. Guy seems to have a claim to, roughly the Ross Dependency if I'm not mistaken.

Additionally (and probably more importantly) this treaty could be a good way to formally create an alliance between our nations (the hands across the ocean thing), since I've been claiming we've had a loose one since the war with the Dutch.

Anyway let me know what you think. Alternatively we can just continue to passive aggressively fight over meaningless lines in Antarctica, that is fun too. Thanks, Fritzmet (talk) 16:50, June 14, 2015 (UTC)
