Industrial algo update
Due to us beginning to drive into the industrial age, the algo needs to be updated accordingly, With this having happened in PMII with decent success (and one of our redeeming qualities that someone always updates the maps usually) we will be replicating this here (support was shown by multiple mods a few of which were PMII veterans.) This will be represented on a map much like the Game map, but with the colors replaced to represent differing industrial levels and when they started. A Chart to represent will go below this post and just above that a map (currently in progress) will be posted to represented our first industrializers. In extenuating circumstances the chart can be superceded to show a change in industrial development quicker than represented on the chart but this will only be for Meiji, or rapid German industrialization efforts.

In the algo a n algorythm multiplier would be applied to all wars with the side with a higher stage gaining 10% extra for each stage higher they are. an example would be in a war between Britain and France, the British are 3 stages ahead of the French in terms of industrial development (for whatever circumstance caused this) the British would multiple their ending score by 1.3.

If anyone is wondering, currently industrialization will be mostly in europe with a select few nations outside of the continent it would be currently taking place (nations with a realistic reason to adopt it as such such as asian nations with a extremely anti-colonial attitude, or something along the lines of Japan.) Industrialization in the Americas (when stuff goes independent) will depend on how the territory is when it gains independence and will more than likely have to be handled on a case by case basis like the outside of Europe industrializers.

Stage 1

 * The Air Furnace is developed
 * Agriculture begins to rapidly shift with fertilizers and rest years for the fields
 * Chemistry develops in leaps and bounds

Stage 2​

 * Steam Power is developed and water wheels are heavily utilized
 * Various chemicals are produced in large amounts
 * Health care and anatomic understanding improve, birth rates still high but death rates on a massive decline
 * Urbanisation begins on a significant scale

Stage 3

 * Paper mills develop with the tech to produce large reels of paper
 * Cloth factories begin using machines and steam power to increase productivity massively to keep up with population boom's clothing demand
 * Some revolutionary rumbles appear

Stage 4​

 * Experimental Railways begin to crop up
 * Stronger cements are produced
 * Steel and Glass are avaliable
 * A few colonies and nations will have rebellions in this period

Stage 5

 * Ironclads and Artillery become widely used in combat
 * Revolutions by poorer citizens in cities become frequent
 * Wide use of civilian and military purpose use railways

Stage 6​

 * Tanks and planes appear
 * Total War emerges with populations also targetted
 * Nationalism appears in larger multicultural nations

Stage 7

 * Atomic age begins a decade before the start of this age with certain nations able to make nuclear weapons
 * Wars between atomic powers CEASE, due to the threat and consequences of nuclear war
 * Colonies rebel for independence

Discussion
As Said Above, Industrialization aside from a few cases (and a case by case evaluation of tier jumps such as a US/German rapid industrialization, or a Japan Meiji or an Asian anti colonial reasoning) will be mostly within Europe and the Americas initially. As a relatively new person to the industrial tier buisiness i will be consulting PMII vets on how it was implemented but for right now due to ease the only two current industrializing states are France and Spain (and the other particulars will be worked out before another one joins the mix). Please bear with us while i gather the needed information to implement this properly.

The intended purpose of this is to prevent an unindustrialized state such as a disorganized tribe being able to deal a true and terrible blow to the Great industrial powers since this rarely happened, (and when it did it was usually due to vast numerical superiority, and even then it only happened once or twice). This is also to simulate a war and the vast advantages provided by industry in this case.

In the case of colonies, that can/will be handled by the mother nation. Plausibly most nations did not let directly owned colonies to industrialize (which is in fact represented by the fact that most colonies will be represented by the mother nations industrial colors). Colonies, under certain circumstances will be allowed to industrialize independently, and due to the access to technology and depending on their terms of industrialization (if they fought a 15 year war of independence like most of Spain OTL colonies) then industrialization will be a rather tough thing to propose to a new nation that would be essentially bankrupt right off the bat. Colonies that Gain Self rule or co-opting rule of any kind will also be able to industrialize in most cases due to the relatively open nature in which its being done. However a problem with this is how will you as a Colonial power manage your self ruling colonies industrial policy without inciting revolt.

This Era must be played carefully while the pertinent information is being discussed please be patient, but for now play on, enioy the game, and plan your moves Carefully

Map Issues
''' The issues of the previous map shall be cleared after each map to save up space, unless a discussion is still going on. '''

The map currently does not show the United Cherokee-Shawana Kingdom correctly. It also does not show my vassal state of Koasati either. The map here shows what it should actually look like. However now the Shawana are expanding into that civil disarray territory to its northwest, so add in that expansion too. Thanking you. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 02:33, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

In the 1720 map, my Haejagang colony had expanded in total 2100 sq km from 1715-1719, yet on the new map it hasn't changed. Can this be fixed please? -Seiga  2014 December 18, 21:40 (CET)
 * In the 1725 map, the expansion from 1720-1724 (2500 sq km total) is missing as well as the previous expansion from 1715-1719. -Seiga [[Image:Miko THPW2.png|30px]] [[Image:Flag of Europe.svg|25px|border]] 2014
 * December 23, 07:37 (CET)
 * In the 1730 map, expansion from 1725-1729 is missing as are the previous expansions that I've listed. Can someone please fix this? -Seiga [[Image:Miko THPW2.png|30px]] [[Image:Flag of Europe.svg|25px|border]] 2014 December 30, 13:02 (CET)

It seems I am being ignored here, but can someone color my nation and colonies? At this point other people, some of them including the map makers, are seizing my lands



. Mscoree (talk) 21:18, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

The Nehilaw have finally filled in that enclave for the 1725 map. Please add this. Shikata ga nai! 18:12, December 19, 2014 (UTC)

After confirming with MP, this is what my nation should look like. Feel free to color my half differently if you want, preferably my old color, not Spanish brown. Also note the part of Newfoundland that was mine, that someone colonized over. And while we're on the subject, probably a century or more of colonizing is missing in Dutch South America, and a decade or two in Newfoundland. Mscoree (talk) 02:14, December 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Since Feud informed about this, I'm probably gonna have to say that I wouldn't have colonized Newfoundland had I known it was being colonized by the Dutch, I'm after all, not an idiot. However you forgot to add Dutch Benin, between Spanish Oyo and Croatian Dahomey, that should be yours too. S k y G r e e n 2 4 ( P , Q ) 17:21, December 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, that too. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 17:27, December 21, 2014 (UTC)

MY CHEROKEE NATION ISSUE IS YET TO BE RESOLVED AFTER I BROUGHT IT UP A WEEK AGO. PLEASE FIX THE MAP ASAP! PLUS ALSO ADD THE CHEROKEE-SHAWANA's 10,000 sq km expansion into that civil disarray region to my nation's northwest. Thank you. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:35, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Ahhh you still haven't fixed my nation! It should look like this now in 1730. The Cherokee annexed the Cree and the Koasati. The Shawana expanded 30,000 sqkm (600px) to the north west. This new map shows how it should be. PLEASE FIX IT NOW!!! The map I have provided opposite shows exactly how it should look on the new 1730 world map with the annexing and the expansion. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 02:19, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

The map should probably be recolored soon. Several nations are indistinguishable from each other, and some are at risk of slipping into the black. I don't believe there was even a time when my nation even had its own color yet. Mscoree (talk) 00:48, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Feud had all my vassals annexed, but this should be undone. Croatian Newfoundland, plus a few decades of expansion, should be added. Wolof should be colored as mine. If possible I'd like to not be brown colored. Mscoree (talk) 02:24, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Mod Event Grievances
Just so that it doesn't clutter the page, please post your mod event questions, comments and grievances here. This -should- be archived every five years.

'''A Council is brought up by the remaining Chinese warlording states, which seeing the advance and centralization of Manchu’s to the north and wishing to showcase a powerful united china to the outside threats, particularly Spain and Japan. The Warlord all unanimously declare that any further attempt by the advancing Manchu empire to take more parts of china will be met with massive force. Si-Chuan, Wu, Yue, Various high level elements of Yunnan, and Jin all show heavy support for this. Shandong and Hebei (the Two nations that formed out of the small Kingdoms decades ago) also show relative support to preventing further Manchu expansion.'''

This interesting, considereing the fact that Spain signed an alliance with the Yunnan last year, and also the fact when when Rimp asked to trade with the Si-Chuan, Feud responded and said no, but when Sky did it; the Si-Chuan said yes. Also, if all of China was against Feud was against China, they would stop trading with him; leading to an economic recession for Spain in Asia. Because of Feuds position as head mod, and has a huge interest in China, I am curious of how all of this to be, and for the "No modding in your area of interest" rule to be focused on, if it hasn't been already. Saturn120 (Talk/Blog) 16:43, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Just so you know, Feud isn't actually head moderator. He is just a regular moderator. Tr0llis (talk) 17:20, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

I never said no to the trade before the event, i crossed out him attempting to trade with a state that literally just joined a coalition to keep him from spreading further. As for the no modding in your area of interest. that area is much further along in any attempt of me potentially influencing especially since im still on the coast and could probably barely get a message to them. As for Rimp advancing in china, this is not OTL. the OTL ming at the time of Manchu conquests had multiple revolts various other natural disasters and were essentially just ripe for conquest and exploitation in one fell swoop. Currently china is a collection of warlords who either want to be emperor of keep their independence leading to a general status quo. Anyone who upsets the status quo here is a target including me. If i go galavanting about and conquesting parts of coastal china they would all team up on me. Just because i have a few enclaves in China and a dream to take a bit more territory doesnt mean im constantly doing mod events in my favor.

The only reason your even bringing this up is the fact that its targeting Rimp.. who has been aggressively expansionist against Chinese warlord states of which there is a standard agreement to ally against anyone gaining hegemony. If it was me doing the same thing, you would say the coalition is justified and wouldnt make a single complaint about it. In fact if i ever attempt to mass conquest china you guys would call for an event exactly like this against me. The event has nothing to do with my chinese interests period since such a coalition can just as easily be turned against me to force me off Mainland China. This grouping is quite easily the start of a confederation type thing that more or less can target anyone who is a threat. Imperium, Japan, Manchu, and Spain. It does more harm to me then it does good

Now if they were truly against me, they would've outright declared war. But they merely declared that they were opposed to further expansion. Moreover, why is the Imperium included? He only controls the Mongol Empire. Why not Wu Empire? Is it because Wu is your little pet in China?

Regardless, this coalition is only against me to prevent me from further expanding. Certainly, I see no way how I can't revert this Anti - Manchu sentiment later on. Obviously, this sentiment will fall apart in the future. I am not saying they'll allow me to occupy China. However, I see no reason why I can't slowly and gradually allign with various Chinese states. RexImperio (talk) 05:15, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

=General Discussion=

What do we do with an honorary mod?
So yeah I'm back but I'm an honorary mod, so I'm wondering where exactly I stand in regards to my mod authority. I want to focus on the roles of mod events, neutrality Bringer, Air Breather and ASB hunter like EiplecOco and Feudal. So basically am I reinstated or not? No chance of me being a map maker anymore but my ability to look at a situation and be very neutral and unbiased is good I think.

But yeah other mods how do I stand with this all? I don't think we have precedent, but if an old/honorary mod did show up again in the past (like in pm2 I think it happened once or twice) then they got a flood of welcome backs, and it was like they never left, but then they left again. So far it ain't happened when the mod stays back for good. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:57, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

Well, welcome back! I think that part of the difference is that the community shifted. The people who play PM3 are quite distinct from the people who play PM2 (whereas PM1'ers were very similar to PM2'ers). Thats not to say that there isn't overlap, just that you are a new face to a number of this game's users.

Furthermore, the whole idea of Honorary Mod really got messed up, in my opinion, when all mods of PM2 were granted Honorary status in this game. We had Mod elections to start the game off, so if you weren't elected then, then I would think that you would not be in the "official" mod status.

That being said, it seems that the mods are getting busier and busier and unable to make as many events as in the past (not complaining here, tbh), so you may be able to work on that. Additionally, the loss/impeachment of Ms has sort of brought about a space for a qualified fellow like you. Your position in the Americas is also a boon, as Europe is too saturated with players.

Best, 05:14, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

I'm in the same boat - I got modship at the beginning of PM3 and then ended up having to drop out for a long while. Honestly I probably couldn't handle being a full-time mod right now anyway but if honorary modship gives me any rights, I would probably throw a few bombs into the mod events every now and again. I wouldn't mind being a "universal chaos mod" whose job is to throw weird curveballs. Commandante Lemming (talk) 17:29, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

To become an actual moderator from the honorary moderator position you need to be voted in (again). Honorary modship is more for people who resigned or are inactive to the point where they are no longer a valid moderator. Mscoree (talk) 22:18, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

Can an actual PM3 mod comment on this? <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 06:14, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well, i don't know.the one mod that came back after being inactive was Pita, who came back intermittently in PMII, and never really established himself.he also never acted as a mod after he as declared inactive, so there is no precedent.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 14:19, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

From what I've seen, what I said is what we've been doing for previous honorary moderators who have considered joining as active moderators. Not to mention that all moderators are voted in, and the honorary moderators have not been yet. Mscoree (talk) 14:28, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well then can I come back as a mod? I'm back to full time now. Plus seeing all my experience at the job makes it an easy choice. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:55, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

The Precedent was set, Nova tried to return once and we had a vote on whether to bring him back in or not. The Vote said no. So the mods would need to vote Von back in (which i assume hed win convincingly)

Why were all my colonies removed from the map? Mscoree (talk) 18:47, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

Overthrowing Hated Leader
I noticed that recently there was an event to break Westphalia into several states in protest of being ruled by a foreigner. Since Luxembourg is running rampant under a hated ruler, I believe it's only fair that we break them up to, for plausibility's sake. As such, I propose the following event:



In Luxembourg, after a long period of occupation by the Austrian and Westphalian forces, and the recent enthroning of the previous Archduke of Austria and his family in Frankfurt leads to a series of uprisings throughout the nation claiming for the liberation of their nation. One of the uprisings is heavily crushed by a group of Luxembourgian military corps near the city of Luxembourg, leading to an all out rebellion that spreads rapidly in Luxembourg. The enraged people of the nation enters the lightly defended city and slaughters the loyalist forces in its path to the palace where they find the Duke and slay him while capturing his family and take them into rebel-held territory. Soon landlords reestablish the borders of most of the counties prior to Luxembourg's existence. They leave the Holy Roman Empire citing its “failure to protect its states and inefficient defense against foreign threats” and establish the Luxembourgian confederation, and request for Dutch, French, and Spanish support to defend their nation. Luxembourgian royalist forces manage to hold Luxembourg City (Any act of war by any nation towards any member of the confederation will be an act of war against all members,Vassalage is also impossible in a period of less than 50 years) (Score undoubled: Military: 10, Economy: 8, Infrastructure: 8 for all the nations).

Hopefully that shuts down the implausible mess that is Luxembourg being ruled by a Habsburg. Hopefully that helps, Harvenard2 (talk) 18:59, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

If i recall correctly tr0llis is Luxembourg, idk if Luxembourg is a mess, the culture is pretty much similar throughout the nation and it would be ruled by a Nassau member of the family not a Habsburg one. No reason for a revolt or uprising at all so not happening Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk)

False Luxembourg is currently owned by Ms, and it is ruled by a Habsburg. Harvenard2 (talk) 19:13, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

Afaik as I know the treaty made with the Netherlands was that it was personally owned by the king of the dutch but it was Austrian, with Austria gone it would become of the king. Especially with the fact that the Austrian Habsburg monarch dead. Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk)

Perhpas the worst place for a revolt to occur is 1670s Luxembourg. If you could have picked any nation that wouldn't revolt against a foreign ruler, it would be Luxembourg. Luxembourg has little to no cohesive ethnic or national identity, no tradition of native rule that has recently been broken to be replaced with foereign rule, isn't experiencing especial oppression or high taxation, and really has no reason to revolt. Luxembourg was and presumably is very much a buffer state and administrative division within a larger Austrian (and now Dutch) empire, rather than a seperate nation. Luxembourg has no reason to revolt. Secondly, this is before the era of nationalism. Popular revolts for liberation didn't really occur at this point, not without significant support from disaffected nobles, who receive all their privileges from the king and haven't suffered significantly recently. In short, a revolt in Luxembourg is a ridiculously implausible bad idea. Shikata ga nai! 23:13, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

I guess Kras missed my statement on chat, but for the record Luxembourg is owned by myself, not the Dutch. Mscoree (talk) 23:28, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

Hesse conquered them all, a half dozen player and NPC states and didn't have a single revolt. There was oppression and high taxation (given the squashing of resistance and the many expensive wars) and he got nothing. Then Hamburg liberates a single province smaller in size than Rhode Island and all hell breaks loose. You mean to tell me someone can aggressively conquer several nations and increase their size by 500%, but if a state retakes a small area that was theirs for years it collapses? Harvenard2 (talk) 23:37, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

Now we see the real motivation behind this. It's an overdone attempt to prove a point entirely separate from this event. Hence the fact that Harv, rather than actually referring to my arguments as to why a revolt would never occur in Luxembourg, focused on prior events that occurred in ''different countries. ''Again, Luxembourg has no separate national identity from the HRE and Germany. Luxembourg's noble class - the only group that can plausibly lead a revolt at this point - has no reason to be angered, especially to the poin tof immediately resorting to violent revolution. Nobles don't revolt unless their privileges are seriously under threat by revolting, they risk losing these same privileges. None of the ingredients for a revolt exist here; it's an attempt to prove a point that discards logic and plausibility. Shikata ga nai! 23:50, November 2, 2014 (UTC)

That was just a comparison. Harvenard2 (talk)

Oh mai gawd. I get it now. Harv isn't going against Ms, he's going for IATG. This has nothing to do with Luxembourg per se, he only wants to undermine the plausibility of westphalia revolting against Hamburg. It took me a while to figure it out. <font color="#50E0F0">Sky <font color="#50FF60">Green <font color="A00000">24 (Party,quotes) 13:43, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Not really, the only thing I'm advocating for is this event. I was comparing it to Hamburg, how if he can have his province revolted away, then so should this. Hamburg's province revolting was socially accepted; the norm. If you think I am trying to advocate for it being returned to Hamburg then that's probably a reflection of how you actually think. Harvenard2 (talk) 14:00, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Haha I just noticed this revolt took away land from multiple nations that they had fairly won in war and gave them to other players. This would be one of the reasons why I pretty much left. Somehow extremely bias things happen and no one cares. (If anyone would like to revolt all of Italy except Rome and make a random confederacy in which I am granted Lombardy again, that would be great.) Tr0llis (talk) 14:23, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Hey
Is there any decent nations I can take, by decent I mean ones that arent a colonization target and can at least expand a little bit. -Ashlee 22:41, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

The best option you have is to pick some nation in China. Why?

- Europe is full - America gonna get colonized. No hope of surviving without becoming someone's bitc... I mean protectorate - Australia going to get colonized - Africa is useless as usual (Except when Viva plays as Africa) and so, I won't suggest it - So yeah.. You got China

RexImperio (talk) 15:52, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

I think Africa isn't really useless if you play it right. But America is soon to be completely carved up, so if u are planning for the long term don't play an american nation. I'm only american nation because I wanna jump ship eventually. I'm trying to speed up american colonization and facilitate expansion.

Chinese states, Indonessian states, Cacasus states, Laos, Cambodia and African nations are basically what you have to choose from if you want your nation to last a while. I'd say go Cambodia, Zimbabwae, Tibet or Wolof. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:14, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

I personally think it would be too late to play as Zimbabwe, since other European nations won't let you expand properly. I really wouldn't suggest Cambodia. Tibet has already been broken into three states [Kham, idk, and idk] and is quite weak with Eiplec trying to vassalize it. I am not aware what Wolof is.. Indonesian states is another bad option because a certain European nation plans to establish hegemony in the area. I believe Swank will be invading Caucasus states soon, so not a good option.

Tbh I'd suggest China. China has been fractured, and at the moment there is no major power in China. There are 5 players in China at the moment So basically, there is no major power in China. Pita wants to unite China and form his own nationalist empire. Me and Josh plan to do the same although Josh is allied with Spain and I am allied with Japan, and Yank doesn't do much.

Sky for Mod
Recently, PM3 has been in short supply of competent or active mods, and that is a problem, as it impeds the active process of playing the game and making it move smoothly. As a result, I propose that we add another mod to the ranks, namely SkyGreen.

Sky is a competent and relatively plausible player, who understands the way algos work and some of the other more complex rules present in game. In addition, he has a calm demeanor and usually interacts with other players in a tolerant and understanding fashion. For those reasons, I nominate him as a moderator for PM3.

Well since Georgia was invaded just a while ago, I doubt its forces would not be mobilized. In fact, I have noticed that every single war that takes place nowadays has got 'Not mobilized' on the NPC's side.

This is plain wrong.. Cause if the NPC is going to have Not Mobilized then the Aggressor should also have motive as 'Lands etc' since if there is a valid casus belli, then both sides would have prepared forces. However, if the motive was being greedy, then certainly; the nation defending itself would be unaware of any incoming invasion. RexImperio (talk) 06:32, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

You are completely correct. The motive is, in its essence, greed. I just forgot to change the motive since I did a lot of changing around other stuff and when I calculated the need score for the anti-caucasus side I just summed everything up. So yes, the nation would be unaware of the invasion for that reason. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 14:39, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Japan loses the war, Japan loses 5% - someone needs to to a pixel count, btw. I don't know how to do that XD. Saturn (Talk/Blog) 16:15, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah.. Manchu aren't going to get involved in this war. You're going to mess up my 'Won all last 3 wars' thing U_U.. Btw 84 and 67 troops? RexImperio (talk) 06:10, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Japan has a grand total of 14,194 pixels, according to the latest map. 00:45, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Sat don't tell me you just gave up 482 px to Feud :/

Anyways... The Manchu are not handing over any land. Sat can give up lands from his vassals RexImperio (talk) 10:41, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Nicobar?
Hey,

just a quick question about Nicobar... After the Lankan Invasion of Nicobar (being the indpendent country), the land I noticed in the algorithm (now archived) should be owned by him. However, I have also noticed that the island (OTL Car Nicobar) is not coloured as a Lankan controlled land. This leaves me with the impression that he no longer or never did own it, and after requesting numerous times for the colour to be added and it not being added, I feel like it is still an independent country.

Is this correct? Thank-you. Aternix !?  10:18, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

By the way, that was also my 1,000th edit. :D

Well, most likely the Map makers forgot to add it RexImperio (talk) 13:40, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Great Nicobar, in all actuality, should be my color, as I had trading posts and colonists there over a century before anyone did anything else with it. I am that guy (talk)

Well haha.. That complicates things even more. xD Aternix  !?  05:34, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Didn't Sri Lanka guy invade it sometime during late 1500s?

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. But it was in the early 1600's. Aternix  !?  00:32, November 22, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm... Don't you think the Mil and Eco scores for the X and Y Kingdoms would double? 6 + 6 = 12*2 = 24 like we do with all the algos... Unless you divide their 24 by 2 for no apparent reason for there is no mention of such a thing in the rules and addition of such a rule at this point would be blatant bias.

Moreover, it is impossible for X and Y to have 12 score for Mil and Eco and 14 for Infra. It should have been 14 for Infra, 28 for Eco and 24 for Mil keeping in mind the development scores granted to NPCs and that Mil/Eco scores are doubled. RexImperio (talk) 11:58, November 22, 2014 (UTC)

It might be a good idea to pay a minimum amount of attention to the game. Enough that you notice when, say, someone declares war on you. Shikata ga nai! 21:39, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

He did not notice, Sat told him about the invasion on his Talk Page. Nevertheless, Ming would've been invaded whether Manchu were invaded in 1538 or not, because the presence of Ming blocks Manchu expansion.

Moreover, judging by your attitude; I personally believe I did a good job is conquering the Ming. Nevertheless your feelings regarding Ming are irrelevant to me for if you really cared about the Ming then certainly, you would have atleast added more than 'Ming expand Eco and Mil' to your turn, and even that is the lowest contribution you could do.

Ok. Well then if that is the case the Creek are conquered! The Cherokee and the Romans will split up their nation in half equally. So the map would look like the map on the right. I have also added the Shawana to my colour to signify my dynastic union with them, which come 1700 will be a full personal union because the current Shawana King will have been killed and my Cherokee Prince and his Shawana Princess will become the new King and Queen of the Shawana. Then a few years later my current Cherokee king dies and then both the Cherokee and Shawana will have the same monarch. They will then unite the two nations together to form the United Cherokee Shawana Kingdom. Otherwise I will expand further into the former Cahokian territories which are in civil dissarray next to the Shawana nation. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:28, November 24, 2014 (UTC)

Britannia Events
According to several users there is some sort of plan to collapse the nation of Britannia through moderator events. Worse yet, I have been told there is a plan for certain foreign nations to "establish hegemony" in the British Isles. If this is actually the case, I ask that the moderators please consider. Britannia has a player now and I don't think it's really fair to do this. I don't really care about bad moderator events, but (assuming what these handful of people tell me is true) I ask that attention be paid to make sure they aren't bias or excessive. Thanks, Tr0llis (talk) 23:46, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

As a mod, I have to admit it is unfair to Tr0ll to force his nation to suffer a series of events that allow the other 2 powers (Hispania and France) to attempt to do what they plan. However I do suggest that Tr0ll is forced to solve this problem by marrying off the recently widowed Queen Amelia. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 23:49, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

This is why i said we needed to wars over britannia, one to oust tr0llis and one to do the civil war.

In summary: Congrats, Tr0llis (talk) 01:41, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Bias moderators who wish to make events "to oust tr0llis", ie kick out a new player simply because it's Tr0llis.
 * Bias moderators who are motivated by land acquisitions and personal gains.

To be Honest, No mod wanted you in that place anyway, maybe only Sky, So yes you are not welcomed in britannia and IDIOT, i said that i wasn't going to do anything any time soon, and that i wasn't in favour of bringing britannia into such civil war without a previous war on britannia (Which happened to be yours). Don't care if you are or not playing as it, I still want calais and will take it when the time comes. Don't make it any earlier. Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk)

"No mod wanted you in that place anyway" etc, at this point you have confessed to being openly bias and are targeting me because of who I am. I'm not sure if I should be mad about that, or disappointed that no one is going to care. Tr0llis (talk) 01:56, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

If the mods want you out, then they want you out. it doesn't mean they'll be biased in doing so. Furthermore, I don't see any indication they do, just that in order to create negative mod events about Brittannia they would have to first get you out, which is true. It also doesn't, however, mean that they're being biased and targeting you with mod events. I'm pretty sure the Britannia events predated your becoming Britannia. I don't necessarily agree with them, I just don't think they're a manifestation of bias, only of a general desire to cause some chaos in a nation, which is a mod's job. Let's not incite a discussion about a possible civil war and its plausibility into yet another shitstorm about bias and conspiracy. There have been enough of those already. Shikata ga nai! 02:33, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Part of the reason I thought the moderators were being bias was because of what some of the mods told me was about to come. The 1701 event comes to mind, which because of this thread most likely, Sine has not posted. Tr0llis (talk) 02:39, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

To answer the issue here, this was a decision taken by several mods when we saw how many people wanted Britannia. We decided that this had the potential for some interesting stuff to happen in the game. In truth, PMIII (and the PM franchise) is just another alternative history. A story. It's our job as moderators to keep the story interesting and intense for everyone. We decided that, in the interest of giving these people a shot at Britain (all of whom have a fair chance at winning), we'd spark a civil war that would basically spell how the 18th century would play out. Tr0llis, it would be highly appreciated if you would play the game, try to have some fun, and not be the little boy who cried bias. Thank you. Crim de la Crème 02:40, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Except that is all an indirect way of saying what Sine said. There is no attempt at story telling, there is no even sides, or chances. This is about removing someone you don't like through moderator events. How is someone supposed to "play the game" when they sign up and right away their nation is destroyed, and all the worlds superpowers want to invade you? Again, I am mostly going off what some of the moderators have told me, I don't know the full story, but Sky for one told me to post this here, and told me that there was bias and bad events to come. I honestly don't really care, but I was told to make this, and now you're just trying to defend an opening bias (as some people have even told me) and unfair series of events. Need I remind you how you whined for days about ms causing a revolt in a small area of your nation, one which he could understandably have interest in? Now imagine if the world's superpowers did the same thing because they want hegemony in the UK. You guys are doing the same thing that ms did times ten in terms of bias events. You shouldn't even be making events about a rival like that, let alone one that some of you openly want to conquer in part. And why Britannia? They sit here and hardly expand, while Spain conquers half the world and gets no events? This is a very unequal distribution of events, and one clearly motivated by bias/personal want. Tr0llis (talk) 03:11, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

I know I'm not really involved in this, but I read what Crim said and cringed, because it honestly sounds like trolling. It literally sounds like an EA spokesperson explaining why they had to put a feature in a game, hell the part about storytelling sounded familiar, because they did. Storytelling, are you kidding me? Please explain how randomly breaking up the UK into individual nations is a right of your creative freedoms, while the Scandinavian union, one which in OTL was almost never united, cannot ever be dissolved? Please explain how when there was a revolt in Scandinavian Germany, based OTL and well written (storytelling if you will) it was disputed and disputed by your yourself. That's heavy hypocritical. If what you're saying actually is true, I'm sure you won't mind if in a century we do this exact same thing to Scandinavia? After all it's not about breaking up a rival, it's about storytelling. Norway and Denmark secede from Scandinavia after an assassination, because storytelling. Explain how it's "fair" to collapse a brand new player and then have said new player compete against the strongest nations in the game. Let me guess, it's a coincidence that certain nations want to annex part of said new player. But don't worry this is "fair", they will have an equal chance to defend themselves...by algorithm...against the worlds superpowers. Yes, Tr0llis, "play the game" and stop being a little bitch. Clearly this is fair, just accept the loss of your nation, geez. After all you don't want to be the boy who cried out against moderator abuse while he still had a chance, woops I mean, the boy who cried bias. Harvenard2 (talk)

Here's what I think on this whole issue: On one hand, employing mod events to intentionally break up a nation, whether or not you want that nation's lands, is bad. However, on the other hand, these mod events add flavor and interest to PM3, and throwing challenges at a superpower does make the game more interesting.

From what I recall, Britain was to be warred upon by several of the great powers in order to install one of their own nobles/royals (French, Spanish, Dutch, German, whatever) on the throne. In my opinion, that's a perfectly legit way of doing things. Waging war, backed up by an algo, to achieve a goal. Now, adding mod events to destabilize a nation, such as delivering algo penalties, revolt risk, etc., is mighty unethical to me. With that said, I don't see anything necessarily bad about the Queen Amelia event, as no penalties are noted. It's just a standard event. The British King is dead, but really, Britain is still just as strong as it was in 1699 and as fit as ever to partake in a war. As it stands, Troll, no one is booting you out of Britain.

Now, do people want you out of Britain? Yes. To be honest, you have quite a reputation on this wiki, and one that is held up by constant arguments on chat and generally argumentive behaviour.

To close out what I'm trying to say: The 1700 British mod event may have whatever ulterior motives, but the fact remains that it does not technically harm Britain nor give Britain any algo penalties. If France and Spain warred on Britain today, Britain would have the same chance at winning as they did in 1699. I enjoy the mod event and I think it adds a nice narrative to the game. Just like Crim said, alternate history is about making a story, so please don't squander that opportunity.

This mod event isn't kicking you out of Britain, Trollis. A war will kick you out, one which has a great chance of occurring.

Cookiedamage (talk) 03:37, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

The 1700 event wasn't really the problem, it's the 1701 events and beyond (which weren't posted, but were described to me) which seemed to be a lot worse. Note they weren't posted, so my complaint here is a lot more diminished, and instead stands as a call to attention in regards to future events. I agree with you a lot here, that it isn't really fair to weaken a nation through moderator events who you plan to invade soon. You're right that I am not kicked out (yet), but what I was saying was that the next events in the series (which again were not posted after I made this discussion) and the fact that people were going to take advantage of them, made it quite clear that being kicked out was imminent. I'm not trying to squander the opportunity to make alternate history, or whatever the case is, but at the same time storytelling needs to be plausible and fair. I would like to bring up an important point here; Scandinavia was allowed to self write their own civil war in their turns, so I believe I should be allowed to the same, perhaps as a sort of compromise. It isn't fair that Scandinavia can avoid being collapsed by promising to "have an arc" (basically do storytelling), but I have to be forcefully collapsed. For one I know a bit more about the situation it seems, and can write a history similar to Crim. If what you say is true, and you are both just looking out for the storytelling, surely you'll agree to me taking up the responsibility to write more myself? If that was the case for one it would be a lot more developed and expansive. So with that said, I ask that if anything, I should be allowed to write in a roleplaying type civil war, not be collapsed half heartedly by my rivals. Tr0llis (talk) 03:56, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

After reading this wall of text I have the following to say: <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 13:08, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Nobody specifically wanted Tr0ll as Britannia, but only Andrew opposed it. Moreover, both Feud and I agreed to see how he plays.
 * 2) However, Tr0llis didn't play. Although these events have some implausibility because they ignore some facts (such as the names of the members of the royal dynasty) Tr0llis has posted for the first time on Wednesday/Thursday.
 * So, although Tr0ll has a point that he is being targetted and that those events are flawed, he didn't actually react to any mod events. Mod events exist to force a player to react to them in order to avoid damage to their nation or to benefit from them.
 * 1) As far as I see it, Tr0ll still has the chance to raise Britannia from the ashes.

If I'm not mistaken I've posted about five times, missing a few in between. Regardless, as I said above, my main problem was not the events already, but the shape of the events to come. The moderators have obviously decided to give me a chance, and for that I am very grateful. The events that are already there, I will react to them to the best of my ability. As long as the moderators are aware that I am playing as Britannia, and if anything allow me to pen my own civil war in my turns. Tr0llis (talk) 14:31, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

I have a simple question.. Why does this all start happening the moment Tr0llis joins in as Britannia? There were rarely any mod events that negatively affected Britannia prior to this, and not only is this bias but is also blatant meta gaming.

'I'm pretty sure the Britannia events predated your becoming Britannia. I don't necessarily agree with them, I just don't think they're a manifestation of bias, only of a general desire to cause some chaos in a nation, which is a mod's job.'

No, these events did not take place prior to Tr0llis joining in as Britannia. Moreover, if it is a mods job to cause chaos in nations, then why was not Britannia affected by such problems prior to Tr0llis joining? In fact, the only thing Andrew would get every century or so, would be a plague and the plague used to become irrelevant an year later.

'We decided that, in the interest of giving these people a shot at Britain (all of whom have a fair chance at winning), we'd spark a civil war that would basically spell how the 18th century would play out. '

I'm afraid it would be plain unfair to target a nation because others want to play as it. If we were to go by this, should not Sweden cede from your already implausible Scandivanian Union since Eric wants to play as Sweden? Perhaps, next a couple of Mscronies could gather and declare they want to play as Spain. Then would Spain get implausibly targeted?

From what I recall, Britain was to be warred upon by several of the great powers in order to install one of their own nobles/royals (French, Spanish, Dutch, German, whatever) on the throne.

But was there any such thing before Andrew went inactive and Tr0llis joined in? No, there was not. Like I said, there is clear meta gaming for Britannia is being targeted right after Tr0llis takes over. I mean it would make sense to attack if Tr0llis replaced the British Royal Family with another or perhaps, left Westminister, but Britannia is still the same Britannia and the only change is that of the player

Just like Crim said, alternate history is about making a story, so please don't squander that opportunity.

You know, if someone were to make a Timeline regarding all the stuff that happened in PMIII, the Timeline would get more ASB Tags than Eric's Wreck It Ralph Timeline.

'This mod event isn't kicking you out of Britain, Trollis. A war will kick you out, one which has a great chance of occurring. '

And why shall there be a war? Was Britannia being invaded prior to Tr0llis taking over? No. Then why now? Will you think of an implausible reason to kick out Tr0llis from Westminister? Will you meta game to attack Tr0llis?

Now then, let Trollis play in peace. Oh and Harv, you may be next. RexImperio (talk) 14:53, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

@Rimp: Also, another thing, dear RexImperio. I might be wrong, but I doubt it. Are you doing all of this because you have some personal quarrel with some of the mods (like Feud)? Because defending someone just to go against someone else isn't really something that benefits your reputation. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 15:33, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) They did predate Tr0ll joining, as they are in fact connected to Andr3w777 retiring, rather than him joining. There were already ideas on the mod page prior to Tr0ll signing up. However the events were actually written down after he joined. Nonetheless, they were planned prior to that.
 * 2) I'm really not sure who else planned to take Britannia, this isn't for me to discuss.
 * 3) Because nobody wanted to mess with Andrew, because, although he was inactive, he always counted on me informing him about Britannia. On the other hand, we have Tr0llis, who didn't prove himself as a successful player, atleast not as successful as Andy... yet.
 * 4) Doubtful.
 * 5) Multiple answers:
 * 6) Because there can be a war.
 * 7) No. (look at 3.)
 * 8) Because they can.
 * 9) Doubtful, Westminster is worthless now anyways.
 * 10) Doubtful, because everyone has different goals.

Am I really that bad of a player? I was conquered by my neighbor/friend as Lombardy, I played successfully as the Netherlands for like a century before giving it back to Nk. Where did I go wrong? (Except I know the answer; it's not about my in-game actions, it's about who I am personally.) Tr0llis (talk) 15:48, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry Tr0llis, but all I meant was that Andrew was a better player than you. I mean, the Netherlands didn't develop as fast as they did under Nk. You got involved in the Baltic region, while Nk would have probably continued focusing on his overseas territories etc. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 16:22, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

How did I get involved in the Baltic Region at all? I had a single war with Scandinavia which was over his colonies, although it ended in white peace. No territory was gained in the Baltics, meanwhile Spain outright invaded and toppled Livonia and France now owns part of it. I was pretty much the major power who was least involved in the Baltics. As for developing, when I was the Netherlands I was one of the most invested in technology and science. When I was the Netherlands half of the game's inventions were by me, and I was the top in research, along with people like Pskov and Austria. So far Nk doesn't appear to be doing that. As for expanding, under me the Netherlands gained like five colonies, a whole protectorate, numerous vassals and allies in Asia, something NK was unable to do. All while expanding the South America colony just as much as Nk did (the map hasn't been updated there in like a century, mind you). I successfully defended the Netherlands when people like Sine trollishly threatened to invade me (basically what they're doing now to Britannia), among a sea of people hated me. Don't for a moment say I didn't do anything, that's completely false. Maybe I didn't conquer half of Europe, but that's obviously not what NK wanted, he just wanted someone to keep the Netherlands together until he could return. I'm sorry if that makes me a horrible player, but I was just trying to do what was right. Tr0llis (talk) 16:33, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

If all what you said is true, then I was wrong and excuse myself. You're then a good player who is underestimated because of his reputation and personal relations towards other users, which is rather unfair. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 16:37, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Aaaaaand the shitstorm is here. TBH, I think the best solution to this would be to have a mod with a non-European nation who could kinda manage events in Europe, free from accusations of bias. It would prevent this sort of thing recurring. Shikata ga nai! 17:32, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

There wasn't really a shitstorm, in fact this matter was pretty much settled. Now that you've commented and opened up a can of worms on moderators however I see this matter will not simmer down soon. Tr0llis (talk) 17:35, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I got to agree, if you think Britania isn't doing good and you have plans for it; then carry out those plans in-game! Have a war of succession or something. Not start using mod events to get your own way if Trollis doesn't want these things to happen like you want them to happen. You can't just force him out if he hasn't been playing very good (something which is very subjective anyway). Also I agree with Krasnoyarsk above about reducing the bias, doing something like mod events to remove kings is very naughty if the mod has a conflict of interest..... <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 17:51, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Von, and I think I will be having some sort of succession war anyway. I have an updated family tree on my page, and hopefully there isn't any interference or made up people now that it's publicly displayed who is in my royal family. Thanks, Tr0llis (talk) 17:56, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

For the record all I own in the Baltic, is the city of Danzig, which is quite easy unless I was blockaded  by Scandinavia, it would be harder for me to have a city state in Vietnam or India than Danzig. Also I haven't read the events in 1701 :v Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk) 18:22, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

This really shouldn't be an issue. Yes, this is about storytelling. Harv, the same thing has happened to Scandinavia in the 1600s. The exact same thing, actually. Maybe if you weren't busy trying to make it difficult for actual progress to be made in anything ever, you'd have noticed the massive civil war I had that lasted over a decade. We wouldn't have done this if Tr0llis was the only one interested. But several others were interested. So, instead of turning players down that deserved the position, we decided to make it interesting. The starting conditions will be fair for all British nations. These events have been tailored by almost every active mod we have and several other trusted players to prevent bias, though we figured you would wail like a toddler when you didn't get exactly what you wanted, Tr0llis. Crim de la Crème 19:14, November 29, 2014 (UTC) I opened up a can of worms? Really? The hypocrisy. As I said above, there's not really any bias here. After all Britannia technically doesn't receive any penalties from the events, and there's no proposal for a civil war to kick Trollis out of Brittannia, only a civil war after he's been kicked out by a perfectly legitimate in-game war. This whole thing has been blown hugely out of proportion by the constant accusations of bias. That said, I feel that playing the "bias" card would be more difficult in the future if this type of mod events were done by a mod who wasn't immediately involved in European politics. Shikata ga nai! 19:27, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

I meant opened a can of worms by stating your opinion on moderator ethnics in a thread which at the time was kind of wrapping up. Truth be told I only said that because I really hate it when people (mostly Sat) are like "lel oh look another shitstorm". Anyway, as I said many times above, the problem was the future events which weren't posted yet. "Britannia technically doesn't receive any penalties from the events" because they weren't posted. Moderators told me about them, and because of this thread they are no longer being used. Also your thing about the order of actions is completely wrong, given that the 1701 event, again it was not posted (but would have only like a hour later), specifically made states of my nation secede. This isn't after a war with me, it's to cause one. How come when there was going to be negative events for Crim, he got a pass because he elected to write them himself, but I can't do the same? I didn't even get a chance, next thing you know, negative moderator events occur, while some users (ie the mods) are apparently able to opt out of bad events by offering to add them to their turns. Crim keeps saying the events aren't bias because "all the moderators had input on them", which prompted me to look into the matter. At this point and time half the moderators actually agree with me, and the other half (the half that is bias against me/my rivals) still upholds that they are fair and were written by both sides. Furthermore I asked some of these moderators and they confirmed that they were not written by all the mods, some have specifically told me that they had no part in them. So which is? Even if it was true that everyone pitched in on them, at this point half recant that statement, and it is clearly not non-partisan. Tr0llis (talk) 19:43, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Even though Tr0ll does have a point, I kind of want to play as ÉIRE REBORN and truth be told, the "first come first serve" system when signing up is kind of unfair (see, Lx Russia debate before the map game). Between that and the fact that this map game is supposed to tell an interesting story, I think Britannia should be broken up, to a certain extent. —Bfoxius (talk)

What did Britannia do to be broken up? You want it to be broken up so that you can have part of it. The Russian thing doesn't really apply here since Lx signed for "something in Russia" and the only conflict came when someone signed up as Moscow and everyone assumed Lx had met Moscow. From what I can tell though Lx has had a fine time as Pskov. As for Ireland why can't you ply as Ireland within Britannia? Furthermore I don't even know if Ireland was going to be something that became independent, after all the mods were under the impression that you wanted Britannia as a whole. Tr0llis (talk) 20:38, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Westphalia
I was told by Sky to make this discussion here, to get a certain matter sorted out for good. I believe that over the past forty years there have been unfair and illogical moderator events targeting Westphalia, and because of the discrepancies in the events no one has been really sure what is going on in this region.

I signed up as Westphalia in 1661, after Austria had been destroyed. During this time Sine briefly instigated me on chat by hinting toward a future event to "take care of that [Westphalia]" and this was followed by an event in 1662, which collapsed my brand new nation right off the bat. Beyond that it also did or led to a lot of things that don't make sense, and has caused a great amount of confusion.


 * Every time I try to ask people about this they bring up something along the lines of "why would they join under a Habsburg/they hate the Habsburgs/they will never be ruled by a Habsburg". This is misleading however because I never once mentioned the word "Habsburg" in any of my posts. People tend to assume that my nation was ruled by a Catholic Habsburg, even though neither of those things were ever specified. The idea that they would never be ruled by a Habsburg brings me to the second point.
 * Even if I was specifically Habsburg, many of these states would be perfectly fine with that. Let's remember that all these states were de jure ruled by a Habsburg for centuries, but more importantly, the majority were actually pro-Austrian/Habsburg, anti-Hessian, or even previously ruled by Austria.
 * Let's summarize the states that revolted away because they hate Habsburgs/Austria:
 * Territories that Austria has ruled literally since the first few decades of the game. Small states that have been a part of Austria for over two centuries in some cases. I see no reason why these states would suddenly hate Austria/Habsburgs.
 * Strong allies of the Habsburgs who were heavily against Hesse. States like Trier, who is actually famous for his Austrian allegiance, and was a strong enemy of Hesse. For some reason, even though these states are pro-Austrian/Habsburg, and heavily against Hesse, they rebel in favor of Hesse.
 * NPC states which rebelled/fought against Hesse multiple times. States like Munster who had a series of wars to avoid Hesse, yet for some reason rebel in favor of them.
 * All these states were recently conquered by Hesse from Austria/Austria's allies/NPC's, and had recently been liberated by Austria. Why are they rebelling in favor of Hesse when they were just returned to their rightful owners, or at the very least removed from their enemy? This is like if France was liberated by the Allies in WW2 and then revolted to join Nazi Germany.
 * Hesse revolting against the above mentioned states I could understand, but for some reason all of the people against Hesse are joining them.
 * Despite the fact that at the same time Bavaria had doubled its size, conquering a dozen nations, and coming out with only really one revolt, and the fact that Spain also just conquered a giant area, the moderators decided to revolt almost all of Westphalia away on turn one. I can understand the argument that Feud and Cookie said, where the new states wouldn't revolt right away because they were just devastated, but how come that argument doesn't apply to me? Westphalia was just devastated by war, and for the first time in centuries, with maybe an exception being part of Hesse Proper, the region is actually not being occupied.
 * Worse of all this event declares that part of Hamburg Proper, part of Hamburg for pretty much most of the last 200 years, revolts as well. Hamburg just won another algorithm to liberate part of Hamburg Proper and for some reason it revolts to join their own enemies. That's like if there was a revolt in Pskov that caused Croatia to lose part of Poland. When Sine was asked about this he said the losses from Hamburg were "collateral damage".
 * These parts of Hesse were conquered fair and square through algorithms, yet they are taken away one turn in. The moderators made events to take away land from Hamburg proper and from me that was fairly conquered for the sole purpose of creating a nation for someone to play as. What if Blocky really wanted to be the Basque, so during a moment of Spanish weakness the moderators declared Spain erupts into new nation confetti, and the Basque part of France too for some reason, just to make that new nation for Blocky in the Basque region? I'm sure a lot of people would like their nations back, the people you conquered, but are we just going to start releasing Lombardy or Italy? Why do you make an exception here?
 * People complain that a Catholic ruler/nation shouldn't be able to rule over a Ludwigist state. First of all that is again assuming my leader is Catholic, despite the fact that I made no mention of that (there are Habsburgs of many different religions). Secondly, Ludwigism isn't even a majority religion everywhere in Westphalia. Some of the states in Westphalia are even ruled by archbishops and are heavily Catholic. In some areas they are Dutch Reformist. Where did I get that from? The fact that when Tr0llis was the Netherlands he wrote for dozens of turns straight that Dutch Reformists move into Westphalia, and the fact that Blocky himself wrote on the page for Ludwigism that some of his former states are now Catholic, and Westphalia as a whole has even converted away from Ludwigism. Now let's consider the fact that Austria, and the Habsburgs, was the most tolerant nation of Dutch Reformist other than the Netherlands, and repeatedly had royal marriages with Dutch Reformists. Even if my ruler was Catholic and a Habsburg, that would meant they are being ruled by the most ideal of Catholics, as the Habsburgs were repeatedly supporters of Dutch Reformists.
 * Again, consider the fact that before I re-conquered these states, they had a series of wars against Hesse, and that Austria and Hamburg were their main supporters. Why are they revolting against the people who repeatedly looked out for their interests, in favor of the people they had numerous wars with?
 * The fact that most of Westphalia revolts and for some reason leaves Frankfurt and Nassau as a sort of enclave inside it. If your actual intention was to overthrow the Habsburgs, who you claim these people hate (even though they largely don't), then you would have said there was a civil war in which the Habsburgs are overthrown, or would have forced me to have a civil war in my posts. In no logical universe does it make sense for every state of the union except the capital to secede and then leave the capital just sitting there. If they are angry because of one single guy in the capital, they'd obviously just deal with that one guy.
 * Despite that fact that Westphalia is in personal union with/being supported by both the Netherlands and Hamburg, who are both responsible for continuing support for Westphalia's colonies, the moderators decided to uncolor certain colonies. When I asked Sine about this he said that he "didn't make the event". I replied "There was no event! Someone just edited the map one day and removed them all. Can you please fix this map error?" Despite the fact that they were supposed to still be colored, someone decided to just leave them uncolored so that people could take them. To the best of Sine's knowledge, the person who started all this, they were never taken away, and it's not like the Netherlands and Hamburg are unable to together hold up the colonies, so that should be fixed.
 * The moderators make all the rebelling states count as independent states, despite being in a confederacy like Switzerland, solely so that I cannot combat them in any form.
 * Every time I bring this up people delete it off the talk page. No one replies to my posts or answers any of my questions, they just occasionally cross them out.
 * I am beginning to believe that the moderators don't care in the slightest, and would rather the truth behind this event be ignored. I can never have a serious conversation about this without being insulted, or presented with made up facts.

In conclusion, I don't believe it is fair to collapse a nation one turn in, in a bias and illogical manner, so that revolting states secede in a gerrymandering pattern, against people they historically were a part of or in favor of, to join their most hated enemy. I don't think it's fair to get revenge on someone through moderator events, and/or give away free pieces of a nation, and neighboring nations for some reason, to a different player you favor more. I don't think it's fair to suddenly unite states which were previously owned by Habsburgs, Catholics, pro-Austrians, allies, etc against someone who is presumably those things, even though such conclusions aren't even grounded in evidence, and in either accord would not account for such a massive ideological shift. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 23:28, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with the points of mods giving land to blocky being rather ridiculous, and one i wasn't in favor off. but the else is staying and most of the colonies would have had collapse due to hardly being the top priority. I mean for hamburg they american one would. but Africa would've died anyway. Else is staying, the revolt was essentially every duke trying to seize power and fucking up. only become the westphalian confed in order to avoid outside threats from invading. Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk) 00:09, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Sine you apparently wrote the event, how are can you say you dislike part of it? I literally saw you paste it on the moderator page, I literally saw you state parts in chat as you wrote it. There are direct quotes in my paragraph above that you said on the matter. Why would the colony collapse if the Netherlands are for one supporting them, the Netherlands are right next to them. In fact Hamburg even used my colonies as trade posts/stations on occasion. It's not like they just stop going to my colonies and everyone there loses the ability to eat food and dies. Furthermore the main areas that were uncolored were in the Americas, and you just said the Americas would probably survive. Not to mention they were uncolored (by Crim?, not sure) and then immediately other people began to prepare for taking them. You even said at the time on this very talk page that you had no preference on the matter, you didn't even know who did it. They were just never fixed, but they should have. No one fixed it because my messages were ignored/deleted. Why did these states revolt in such a manner? They already had that power, they were in the Holy Roman Empire for one, and secondly I never annexed any of them. Some of them were even Habsburgs, and you mean to tell me the Habsburgs revolt from the Habsburgs because they hate the Habsburgs? They didn't make a confederation to stop foreign invasion, they did it to stop me, from taking it back, and for some reason they are all counted separately even though other confederations are not. Mscoree (talk) 00:36, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

I am afraid Ms, but little can be done to ever convince a moderator. You'd have to deal with it before Westphalia is forced to further fracture and fall into disarray. RexImperio (talk) 07:07, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

 * 1) Sine admits that the event was unfair to you

Mscoree, I'm not going to get into this, but I have to say something about the colonies. If I recall correctly, the Austrians already got events that caused them to halt colonization, which is probably also one of the reasons why they're disorganized. But then again, I think Feud was the one who handled your overseas territories, so maybe that's something you should talk about with him.

As for you RexImperio, your little let's-kill-spain and down-with-the-mods attitude is getting extremely annoying. If you're going to plot against us, atleast do it behind our backs like everyone else.

So yeah, we're not just here because we're plotting against non-mods. Also, me, Saam and Eip hadn't even been mods for too long. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 08:42, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Well, first of all; I am not against Spain or the Mods but I am against destroying the nations of other players for no reason and I am against the Moderator alliance that extends throughout the world

Moreover, your 'successful player' thing makes no sense. It's the same thing. The Mods have grouped together in a giant alliance. It's a unipolar world. You either ally with them or they kill you.

Otl, France/Britain/Spain never formed a large alliance because their individual interests would clash. But it appears there's no such thing in PMIII.

Who else remembers when France/Spain/Britain pre made a map of the divisions of Americas and never had any colonial war against one another? Atleast I don't RexImperio (talk) 09:46, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

I'll have you know I completely halted the expansion of my colonies for over half a century. The only thing I am asking is that they are at least shown on the map (preferably before some of the moderator nations, coincidentally, take them all). In regards to what Sky and Rimp are saying, it seems to me like the measure of whether or not someone is a successful player is based on their loyalty/ability to be in this alliance. For example at first glance Sky said that Tr0llis was an unsuccessful player, but then when Tr0llis listed all his accomplishments it made Sky think twice. Is this alliance you speak of coincidentally all "successful players", or has it played some part in shaping their success? Regardless, let's stick to the matter at hand; Westphalia. Mscoree (talk) 13:29, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

My dear godness. Ms, you were told by two mods that you couldn't be Westphalia, you pulled off a bullshity reason to be so i pulled another equally bullshity reason to kick you off, and then you pulled another one, Instead of continuing this idiocy and honestly getting in the crosshairs for a ban (that is if this evolves into a further shitstorm) deal with stuff rather than discussing every fucking little detail. furthermore i said the only part i found to be unacceptable was when some mod was giving blocky land back after the confed was made (which by the record wasn't me), that is the only part i dislike, the rest was in essence everyone regaining their power through a civil war minus frankfurt. The event wasn't unfair, i never said it was unfair nor disclose anything of such (i said it was unfair to give land back to blocky after the confed was made which i did not) and that the only colony that i could agree would've survived was Newfoundland's colony under hamburg, else is to my eyes and that of other mods fair. Instead of bending my words do something of worth and fight to regain your power, instead of bitching around every time a mod does something. Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk) 02:15, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

How is signing up as a new nation bullshit? Isn't that how literally everyone acquired their nation? Also why would the other colonies leave, when they border Netherlands and Hamburg. Also if you think the Newfoundland one is legit then why is that one specifically uncolored? Mscoree (talk) 02:18, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

1. you didn't signed up as a new nation, you used a loophole to make a new nation. 2. everyone agreed then that keeping the colonies was ridiculous even i did, but at the moment i didn't made any event, it was later on that i found about that but didn't gave much concern (Meh) Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk) 02:25, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

The giving of land was actually approved by more than one mod and was done so after I had been influencing the said lands for years prior.And, can we please stop talking about this? Multiple mods have said "No, you can't be Westphalia." and you moan and groan and cry and complain. Just stop. You aren't Westphalia, deal with it. Blocky858 (talk) 15:37, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

Ending PM3
http://strawpoll.me/3095856 that is all. Blocky858 (talk) 14:46, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

4 people wanting the game to end isn't a consensus when there are 20+ people who play the game. Also it's not your decision to end The game. If you no longer wish to play than by all means don't post but the vast lack of what the mods do in attempting to keep order and keep the game running in a lot of cases goes totally unappreciated and you guys seems to rail against the more more in particular cause you don't get what you want rather than it being a real true issue of targeting and bias. But seriously if you are unhappy with the game then by all means don't post, but if you would refrain from posting slander here on the onion page we would all much appreciate it. THE GAME IS NOT OVER COTINUE POSTING

You can always go and start your own game. If this is how you feel then go and do it. Don't make it out as you are the only opinion and speak for the mods. What you did is a bannable offense by impersonating a mod and vandalising the page. Mods please ban them. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 17:16, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Who impersonated a moderator? Mscoree (talk) 18:22, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

^^^ Where's any impersonation, and Von, "them"???? And yeah, I mean, PM3, imo, is in a bad state, but I'm staying till the end, whether it be today or when we reach turn 2015. However, shutting down the game will do more harm than good, and if you don't feel like you want to keep playing, then you may resign, but flat out ending the game is not a good option. Cookiedamage (talk) 18:25, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Wait, Von, I see what bothers you now. After looking at the gigantic mega-thread on the tsptf page, I am definitely understanding why you think bans are in order.

Putting up a strawpoll isn't a crime, but changing the game banner is just plain disruptive. Yes it's vandalism, but constantly chanting the forced end of pm3 and backing it up with vandalism is honestly stupid. It's obvious you all don't care about what actually happens to the game, and really this whole "end pm3" BS is to just cause another clusterfuck, and tbh, bans, perhaps not permanent, should definitely be in order.

Cookiedamage (talk) 18:52, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

P.S. are you getting Blocky mixed up with someone else? You're talking to him as if he needs to be banned himself, when he wasn't involved with whatever Harv or Ms were doing, other than posting a strawpoll here. -Cookie

Jesus Christ, what the hell happened the past few days...

If you want to kill PM3, just dont play it. It's so simple. Saturn (Talk/Blog) 01:34, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

I want bans exactly because they are just trolls. Just don't play it if you don't like PM3. Saying not to play the game and acting like you speak for everyone's opinon and trying to destroy PM3 shows hatecrime. I can't be dealing with haters. Go to jelly-academy and business school. Learn about not being jelly, not hating, not trolling and how to compete with people in a proper manner. If you don't an online game, rather than ruin the experience for people who do enjoy it; please just  go and start another game. If its better then people will come and play it as the free market demands your new supper good game since the current games are so bad. Go make a modded version of the game to improve the apparent problems you have with it, release your new modded version and offer it out to people. If the user base likes it and thinks its an improvement, then good you out-competed the original game. But you can't go and force the original developers to destroy their game and start anew.

A strawpoll is not a crime. but vandalising the game page, chanting to end PM3, impersonating the mods (saying the game is over) and generally trolling everyone because 4 people aren't getting their own way in a GAME is just sad beyond belief. Hence ban them. They are more trouble than they are worth. That mega-thread on the tsptf page just shows how lenient the mods and admins are being with these trolls. Why bother to give them the time of day trying to have a decent convosation with them then they are neither use nor ornament? <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 04:23, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well Harv already gets a month for the banner thing etc etc so Yeah the main troll is in fact Fact

Von, I wasn't even apart of the group that did any of that... literally all I did was to put a strawpoll here. Cookie has it right. Also, Feud, I never said I wanted to end the game, literally all I did was put the strawpoll here. Blocky858 (talk) 15:30, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

Finals will be done in a week and I may finally rejoin the game. My concern is, it seems you lot have decided to ruin my Britannia.... I am irate.

FOR THE GLORY OF THE PARTY! 06:59, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

I am sure the mods will find a way to return Britannia to normal from the near civil war it was going to be plunged into. The mods might as well restore Britannia relations with Westminister since as recently as 1706? Or 1705, Britannia was not included in the Westminister Meeting. So don't worry.

Now that you're back, Britannia will certainly return to the right path.

Tr0llis seems to have adequately defended Britannia in the arguments regarding collapse. I think one of the main reasons for collapsing Britannia was Tr0llis being there, so you returning should end these talks theoretically. Mscoree (talk) 13:04, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Ending PM3 Early
Now, some players have expressed the wish to end pm3. So andy, mp and I thought decided we'd allow a vote to take place to see what people think.

As it has been continuely said, you can end PM3 for yourself by no longer playing. If some people want to keep playing then it will continue, if everyone leaves then its over. You can't force people to stop playing if they don't want to stop. Stop trying to control people gosh, <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 02:18, December 7, 2014 (UTC).

^This. One of the reasons why I let this "vote" take place was to show that a majority of people don't want it to end, no matter what 4-6 people on chat say. And for those who'll start open this discussion again in a few days I'll say just one thing. If you don't like PM3, either do something to improve it or leave the game. It's that simple. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 09:12, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

I could name 10 people who supported the reboot on chat. Now it is unfortunate that they are too frightened to post here. What is even more unfortunate is how some people even removed their names while others have totally refused that they wanted reboot. RexImperio (talk) 16:15, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

And I kinda forgot the rest. I personally believe the entire Principia Moderni series would collapse if PM3 would restart now. I was personally in favour of major changes, not reboot and the reason I voted 'Aye' was because unlike the rest; I did not fear raising my voice. The others apparently didn't care to vote, and Toby and Sat first added their votes, then removed them. RexImperio (talk) 07:54, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

The reason I said PM3 could end was mainly because I thought that if PM3 ends and then the entire Principia Moderni series goes on a pause for a while, maybe some other map games could get a chance to shine. I didn't really feel like voting, but if you guys insist I should vote I'll add my vote. Tech (talk)

"Not completely sure" RexImperio (talk) 20:02, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Do you not understand that by not contributing to PM3 anymore you are voting against the product through market mechanisms of free choice? Stop playing, create a new product and use that as a vote. Consumer markets don't vote to decide if a video game should be ended and changed, instead they just swap to using a competitor's game. Christ imagine if they did a vote to decide whether they should reboot Call of Duty? No they just swapped to a competitor's game like Battlefield or something. This is also a game and you have no barriers to making another game, thus the democratic thing to do is to make another one and offer a new competing choice to the Alt-history wiki market of map games. The above list is a type of market forecast showing a new game would have 11 possible players likely to buy into the new game so its a good indicator of demand. The demand is there for a new product, so instead of ruining a game which has demand for its service to continue, go offer a new game to those who are dissatisfied with the current game offered on the market!

I'm Back (Kind of....Sort of)
Hey all. I know I kind of dropped off the map for a while, so I'll fill you in.

I was having problems posting every day because my schedule got really busy. The final nail in the coffin was that the screen on my computer fizzled out. I chose to relinquish the control of my nation to Feud and take a break for a while.

Now I'm back. Before you ask, no, I don't plan on taking back my nation. I don't feel that I have enough time or energy at the end of the day to maintain it. Besides, I gave it to Feud. I will, however, drop by every couple of days to see how everything's going, help with any mod stuff that needs doing, and can hopefully be completely unbiased seeing as how I don't have a nation to play as.

Last note, I have been hanging around alternatehistory.com lately and making some maps. If you're interested, go check me out here.

Personally, I didn't really understand what you said with the exception of the Shangjingkou LV part. Now I personally believe that by adding 1 score to Xi'an and reducing 1 from me, would have no affect upon the result that is victory in 3 years.

No, I'm talking about NPS. Instead of you having your NPS score be 8/4, it's going to be 8/2 since you have 2 nations on your side, while Xi'an's will be 5/1, since Xi'an has one nation on its side. <font color="#1C4081">Sky <font color="#00FF21">Green <font color="531F72">24 (<font color="A00000">P, Q ) 14:03, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Done, now I have made Halych and Kiev M because they have never really shown true loyalty to Dacia (hence the Kiev revolt and also the Kievan rise of nationalism that also indirectly affected Halych). <font color="#FF0000">S <font color="#04690C">k <font color="#FF0000">y <font color="#04690C">G <font color="#FF0000">r <font color="#04690C">e <font color="#FF0000">e <font color="#04690C">n <font color="#FF0000">2 <font color="#04690C">4 <font color="#FF0000">( <font color="#04690C">P <font color="#FF0000">, <font color="#04690C">Q <font color="#FF0000">) 10:01, December 21, 2014 (UTC)

Introduction
Greetings fellow PMIII players, I am here to adress an issue that seems to have been ignored for too long. It seems that LxCaucassus has disobeyed the rules of PMIII and was accused of doing that by Fritzmet, Harvenard2, Tr0llis and Mscoree. Due to believing that justice must be served. I have investigated the matter thoroughly, taking into account all arguments, and this is what I have concluded.

Facts

 * Lesser Northern War:
 * Pskov Score: 36/21
 * Prussia Score: 73
 * Expected result: ((73/(73+36))*2-1)*(1-(1/(2*4))=29.7018348% of Pskov and Narva goes to Prussia


 * Actual result: Prussian loss, extremely possible Narvan annexation into Pskov
 * Treaty of Tallin
 * Franco-Prussian War: (1651-1655)
 * No effect. This event stays the same.
 * Roman invasion of Prussian Florida
 * No effect. This event stays the same
 * The continuation war (1656-1658) (Bolded: Best possible situation for Pskov, otherwise: Best possible situation of Prussia)
 * Pskov score: 51/45
 * Prussia Score:25/37
 * Expected result: 28.508772%/0.08130082% of Prussian land goes to Pskov
 * Actual result: Full annexation of Prussia.
 * Moscovite-Pskovian War (1656-1658) and Polish-Pskovian Colonial War (1656-1658)


 * Expected result(s):


 * Pskovian division of territory between Poland and Muscovy, different outcomes of Croatian war for White Croatia

Final conclusion
To be decided

Might I suggest a resurgent form of Livonian nationalism? 21:00, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

ok, im confused now...say what?-Lx (leave me a message) 22:31, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Long story short, you're temporarily banned from PM3 for cheating. @Sky Thank you for finally dealing with this issue. It's good to see some moderators are still active and willing to help solve disputes. @Rex Considering Livonia was one of the few things actually conquered fairly in this region, probably not. Plus, we're trying to solve problems, not make more. Tr0llis (talk) 22:48, December 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * When did I cheat? this is litearlly the first I hear of any of these accusations. I have a very hard time believing that a war that was locked down and then edited and reviewed countless times during the course of a few days could have a different result than the, what, 4 or 8% that was won from Pskov?(at least that's from the Lesser Northern War).  I was also very confused about the Polish-Pskovian colonial war...never heard of that happening...ever..so I looked in the archives and as it turns out, a Muscovite-Pskov and Polsih-Pskov war  is something that Fritz added a month after I the Continuation war/Prussia debacle. so ya...I am kind of confused as to what any of this is actually about other than some revisionist history.-Lx (leave me a message)Azarath Flag.png 22:53, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

If you check the history he declared war the same turn as you invaded Prussia actually. Mscoree (talk) 22:57, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

(So many edit conflicts.) The cheating part would be disregarding algorithms, to the point where you got an opposite result. The mods, Sky for one, has checked these algorithms and confirmed that yours were in error. This wouldn't be the first time this has happened, see Hamburg for example. The archive was edited because somehow the algorithms ended up in the wrong place. Check the history though, they are now in concurrent order, and match up with my declaration of war. Fritzmet (talk) 22:59, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Just coming to note, Danzig (the city itself that is) is a French City State :v, in other news, If the Muscovite-Pskov algo wasn't posted (idk) the Part of Pskov's annexation shouldn't be thought until proven they could've taken them down with the 33.333% needed :v Sine dei gloriem &#34;Ex Initio Terrae&#34; (talk) 23:01, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

No one disputes the annexations of France and Rome, that part is legitimate. The part in question is after that, and from what I can tell they annexed Pskov fair and square. Hopefully now the issue is resolved and we can all move on. Mscoree (talk) 23:18, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

afaik and remember the war was never actually carried through with.... This was what me and sine both discovered when going through this the other day. This means that Pskov wasnt not destroyed/annexed. Thats just my peice and tbh Lx is over here telling me much the same thing. Regardless of that lx just gave me proof through the editing history that it was posted in the Archive..... Which tbh i never seen before and im unsure as to how to handle this.

Arhive 8 for PMIII

the issue of Pskov and Prussia was dealt with on the 16th of october thats nearly a full month between the two edits.... Tell me again how thats fair. I dont want this to sound like it was planned or something but thats a bit crazy for that kind of timing and to hide it in an archive (from what it looks like) The stuff for pskov was finished within a full month of this thing being posted (from what i see) and just seems like fishing to bring down someone the scorned the Cronies. Unless im shown evidence to the contrary that shows the war was carried out correctly and not just posted into an archive i dont see this going any further.

P.S. nobody but mods decide a ban, Trollis if you post those kinds of things as a definite when we havent even made a real judgement or decision yet then you definitely need to check your privaledge.

That was Sky who said a ban. Sky is a moderator.

Secondly, look up what "check your privilege" means, because you are using that phrase counter to what it actually means. Mscoree (talk) 00:56, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

It was posted the same day that Lx declared war. For some reason it had to be moved on the archive, but if you check the history from back then you'll see I declared war on the same day as Lx. This isn't about "someone the scorned the Cronies" (whatever that is), it's about fixing something in the game that is incorrect. Even if you make the argument that my war didn't count, still doesn't change the fact that Lx's algorithm was never updated, meaning he still won unfairly even when I'm out of the equation. At this point several other mods have checked the situation and have verified this. As much as I appreciate your input Feud, I believe at this point the matter is pretty much settled. Fritzmet (talk) 01:00, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Declaring war requires you actually post the algo as well.. You can declare war, but if you dont post the algo until a month later alot could have changed. Regardless im still waiting for Sky to fill me in and for multiple mods to be around to make this and official decision. As far as im seeing it just looks like you were irrisponsible and didnt post your algo within a reasonable time of your war declaration

As I said, the algo was posted the same day, but I think for whatever reason Harv tried to remove it, perhaps thinking he could reason with Lx. That wasn't the case though, and it was restored. He didn't really have the authority to remove another player's algorithm anyway. It was moved back, and the archive was edited because it was somehow not in chronological order. I think Sky handled this pretty well, no need to open this back up really. Fritzmet (talk) 01:15, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

It was never closed.... these kinds of things require a decent amount mod consensus to carry out, im having Eip Read it over as we speak. You being so quick to clear this down is rather annoying, especially for a game you hardly post in anymore. Im not against this being rectified, but im against this being unanimously handled by a single mod without ANYONE else giving it a thorough look over. So please be patient and stop saying its case closed when this is not currently closed

Sorry, I was told that the case was closed. If you are still reviewing it, that is fine too. The reason I had not been playing as much is because until now no one even cared to listen to me about this kind of stuff. Fritzmet (talk) 01:29, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Well the main issue here is that, no matter what, the Lesser Northern War was never properly written out, and Harv had to sign a treaty even though there were no official results on the mod page. Yes, there were arguments, but nobody actually put down any real score. Either way I believe Lx deserves a punishment for taking amounts of land without a properly written algo. As for the issues about posting algos and declaring wars at the same time, from what I see the Treaty of Tallin was supposed to have a mutual defense term, which did call for Muscovite and Polish aid.

Also, another thing. One thing is confusing, the Continuation war was initially from 1657 to 1659, but then got moved back by a year.

I now checked the talk page edit history, and the wars were added later. This does put those who did that as victims of the one-week-banhammer, but still doesn't remove Lx's penalty.

Now, first, I'd like to apologize to Lx for not checking it better, but that does not remove the penalty for the lesser northern war. However, I believe that those who posted the two algos should also receive penalty, ranging from a 3 to 7 day ban.

I excuse myself for yet another mix up, all is explained in the first subsection. <font color="#FF0000">S <font color="#04690C">k <font color="#FF0000">y <font color="#04690C">G <font color="#FF0000">r <font color="#04690C">e <font color="#FF0000">e <font color="#04690C">n <font color="#FF0000">2 <font color="#04690C">4 <font color="#FF0000">( <font color="#04690C">P <font color="#FF0000">, <font color="#04690C">Q <font color="#FF0000">) 16:02, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

But the important part is:

I created a different perception because of statements that confused me because I wasn't fully aware of the context. Now the issue is the following: The continuation war wasn't quite correct, I looked over it again and it was oh so sloppy.

Oh, and Fritz should get banned for inserting algos in archives and changing algo results in the archives and we need to instate a rule that says that inactive nations also build up dev scores by the infra>eco>mil principle because I just remembered some stuff because of this and yeah.

Also, I'd like to say I'm sorry for the initial mix up, but I hope you all know that I had the best intentions.

I thought they were posted the same day, when I edited the archives I was trying to fix the order. If they weren't posted on time after all I guess that's another thing, but still doesn't change the fact that we declared war the same day and were never added, and the fact that we contractually obligated to declare war. Even if you don't count those other wars, the algo by Lx was still very wrong. Fritzmet (talk) 17:08, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Look, I only posted the Continuation war Algo after asking many people to check, double check, and triple check its correctness before I posted it (I believe MP and Feud were amongst them but honestly, I dont quite remember 100%, maybe they were for other wars, dont take my word for it, ask them). I had that algo checked and verrified, so I had no reason to believe there to be any errors. Even Ms went in and fixed a few things that were initially missed(like the treaty breaker), the algo was also reviewed when posted. So in any case I had nor do I still have any reason to suspect that it was done incorrectly. therefore no cheating had occured. If any errors happened they were not only mine, they were collective, and I dont believe I should be punished for malicious activity if I did not act maliciously-Lx (leave me a message) 18:05, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

I never edited the Lesser Northern War algo though. In fact I specifically left it wrong when I reported it to Sky. Banning me just allows Lx to invade Moscow now, no wonder Feud approved when he said he wanted to invade me himself. This doesn't address any of the actual problems, including the fact that Prussia should not be annexed. I don't understand how me fixing my own algo later, by moving it to the right place, means I should be banned. Ask ms himself, he helped me make my algo the same day that Pskov declared war, I don't know what happened. He even made a google document and what not. Fritzmet (talk) 16:37, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

I literally checked the edit history, so please don't lie. As for Pskov attacking Russia, that's none of my bussiness. And Ms can feel free to show me that google doc. <font color="#FF0000">S <font color="#04690C">k <font color="#FF0000">y <font color="#04690C">G <font color="#FF0000">r <font color="#04690C">e <font color="#FF0000">e <font color="#04690C">n <font color="#FF0000">2 <font color="#04690C">4 <font color="#FF0000">( <font color="#04690C">P <font color="#FF0000">, <font color="#04690C">Q <font color="#FF0000">) 16:56, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

Final verdict
Written by: Sky
 * 1) Fritz gets a 3 day ban for editing the Lesser Northern War algorithm after it got archived
 * 2) Lx receives a warning and his posts and algorithms will from now on be inspected in order to prevent further damage.
 * 3) The rule that NPC nations develop scores by the infra>eco>mil priority order will now also affect inactive nations.

Supported by: Feud.

Mods are also players?
Can there be a PM game someday where the mods are not invested in the game at all? Just as a casual observer, it seems pretty clear there's some bias that goes into ever one of these games. Just a thought. Nathan1123 (talk) 03:00, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

Make me a mod again, and I'm happy to oblige to this. I am always very neutral and try to be unbiased as possible in past games, though I understand due to my control of some of the most powerful nations in past games (Nippon, Caliphate and Arabian Federation) this can be hard for some of my haters to apprieate. I don't plan on having a powerful nation at all in this game. In fact I'm trying to facilitate other nation's to expand and help everyone. So if you want a candidate, I offer myself and I hope my record is a good show of my honesty for the current mods. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 03:11, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

A less bias paragraph might be a start. Mscoree (talk) 05:55, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

I may be new to these map games, but I would assume it would be best if the mods were simply not playing. (Disinterestedness is key to quelling bias, no?) It's almost as if some countries are being ruled by gods. Nathan1123 (talk) 14:27, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

I mean, just take a glance at Hispania, which happens to be run by a mod. It's currently as big as the British empire was at its height, the largest empire in the world. History has been very kind to the Spanish empire, it seems, while conveniently ignoring OTL events like: the destruction of the Spanish Armada by British pirates in the 16th century, the depletion of the Spanish silver mines in the 17th century, and the War of the Spanish Succession in the 18th century. Instead of addressing these real events at all, we constantly get ASB-esque events that knock out the competition, like: the "Disaster of 1583", taking out the completely plausible Mississippian Confederacy (and implementing a flood, by the way, that hasn't been seen since the Ice Age), the collapse of the Ming Dynasty 50 years early in the 1590s, and an 18th century war of succession in Britannia of all places. It almost feels like people are desperate to have disasters occur to every nation except Hispania. Now, we're considering the industrial revolution, and shock upon shock, Spain and France gets first dibs.

Now, let me be perfectly clear, I'm not accusing anyone of being bias (bias is human nature), I'm saying that Moderators shouldn't get to play in the same game. Nathan1123 (talk) 19:47, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

Im nowhere near the British empire at its height tbh. I control probably around Spain at its Height maybe a bit more currently. Your totally discounting the British owning at least a full third of africa, all of india, pakistan, and 1/3rd of indochina, the entire continent of Australia 1/3rd of north america if not more when looking how large canada really is. I might be a massive empire but i have dont a deceptively low amount of modding events into my favor and more because a powerhouse in europe that made it not worth challenging.. having exponential unchecked growth with no power wanting to legitimately challenge you does wonders for expansion and development.

As for mods being outside of the game... mods require vested interest in the game to even be considered and involved as mods mostly cause disinterest means people are more likely to not even try period which is a relatiely bad thing to do. As for the mississipian confederation.. no it was no plausible. it was a massive native state with little to no mass communication ability, low amounts of horses, and was probably ridiculously open to disease in general. the Flood in general was not as bad as your thinking and the more lead up of many tribes getting ticked and striking out on their own caused the death of mississippia rather than the Flood entirely on its own. As for Ming China. The Player implemented policies not plausible as china particularly those killing the eunuch aristocracy, arming the peseant masses into a ridiculous number of nearly 4 or 5 million. Lets not forget the collapse of ming years early was due a decent amount the players gross mishandling of a nation by overextending its army, its populous, and attempting to do something so expansively ridiculous with China that we were required to break it up because it was becomming ridiculously implausible.

As for the depletion of the mines... you seem to be not have read or heard anything about how i went about that. Mexico in general still produces silver and gold in those areas to this day. Along side this spain never underwent the mass inflation cause by this huge increase in bullion considering the vast majority was locked away and never input into the economy. Along with the later discovery or exploitation of various other sources (particularly in Mexico and Bolivia) the mines are very plausibly running. As for Peru. that country in general is still one fo the worlds leading gold producers... its mines have not run dry.

For Disaster not occuring in Hispania it suffered multiple major revolts, a few minor revolts. and was in general not as lethally spread in Europe as it was in OTL with most of its power base and european territories within a few days sailing distance at most. Lets not forget that a rather brutal precedent has been proven time and again by Spain that rebellion or insolence is usually met and exterminated with extreme predjudice. Industry once again occurred in Europe and lo and behold was pioneered by the worlds Great powers of the time particularly Great Britain who had.. go figure immense control over the globe and a relatively powerful and stable economy (which ironically had been built up and supplies by OTL Spains wanton spending issues and inability to develop or produce anything by itself which i have prevented) Your also citing the war of britannian sucession which WAS CAUSED BY ITS PLAYER Andrew.. he wanted a civil war to replace his german royal family citing their apparent legitimacy and Spain and France were more than willing to pick sides.

You also seem to be saying history has been kind to spain. No having a good player that knows the Spanish attitude and how to work economics, and military helps. Not to mention the 16th and 17th centuries were relatively peaceful in terms of the west fighting eachother due to a rather annoying group of threats in Germany and eastern europe that seemed to meddle quite a bit. 200 years of unusual peace is finally starting to wither out in the west particularly with the current tensions between Spain and France about to escalate into wholesale war. Once again a Spain that did not outsource everything and waste all its gold and silver on pointless wars is one that has all that gold and silver able to re-invest directly into itself. The Same thing could happen to anyone with that large amount of Gold and Silver.. you can either spend it without discretion or figure out the problems it causes and re-invest it into the manufacturing and infrastructure which is exactly what i did. The Point of PMIII is alternate history.

Yes being mod has a decent amount of perks such as making sure expansions are added and writing event, but i probably spend most of my modding time getting questions asked to me on plausibility, dealing with people who do it anyways, and people who want to have half of the African continent in the 1550's among other things. The Mods in general have produced a few ridiculous events but more than not after some period of time they have been retconned (most recently the Westphalian thing). Lets not forget most mods are hardly doing their job these days and mostly just play leaving alot more work up to 2 or 3 people who really dont have the luxury of manufacturing events for their own gain mostly cause in a good amount of time these events get called out an crossed out by other mods.

You really seem to be misunderstanding how invested i am in the game.. I was going to be a large supermassive empire whether i was a mod or not. 75% of my most dynamically powerful expansion in europe came before i was even a moderator which includes My subjugations of Aragon, Morocco, and Italy. The Arguement holds no fire when the two largest empires in the game (Urdustan, and Hispania) began their pretty large rises to power without being a Moderator (albeit both are mods and im personally looking for ways to get more depth into the game with wars and whatnot.) Bias happens its human nature but your severely overestimating how much bias is really involved when we spend 75% of our time cleaning up messes and trying to keep the game interesting. In Particular you are trying to compare things to OTL when they have diverged to the point of being Incomparable. Your also discounting the fact that multiple moderators have left perfectly large empires that were built just as plausibly. The Bias exists just not in the massive way your thinking of.

Feud plz your nation is clearly the largest the PM3 world has ever seen. Mods should have slowed you down ~150 years ago but since they didn't there's no way to put brakes on the Hispania train to Empire Station so just keep rocking that global hegemony before it comes tumbling down and explodes in your face.

The logic here is so broken it hurts......Spartian300 (talk) 20:44, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

Your one to talk here Spar.

As for you Scraw, a good amount of territory i own is hardly populated.. im pretty sure almost 40-50% of what i own in North America could plausibly be taken in a war cause there are literally no people. Control is nominal or nonexistant in alot of areas much like OTL's Spain in North and parts of South America. Ill get my revolts i know. but the scale of them is not going to be near what people are considering in settler colonies (which are my largest colonies to boot and are huge merealy cause most of their territory is hardly settled. The Populations are located in a few locations. There is a reason why the US was able to waltz in and ride their own empire train across the Continent OTL. I might be the Largest empire in the History of PM but im not the largest empire in terms of actual empires British empire still has numbers on me, besides the end result empire by decolonization will be alot smaller than it is now. As for global hegemony.. yeah i have it. dont know what to do with it other than just take as much as i can and make it spanish before i get stuck forcing it all to go dominion status or independent wholesale.

Feud, need I remind you that you have not had any major revolts requiring algorithms? If you look through the history most of the "major/minor revolts" you talk about didn't happen.

Scan wrote an event revolting away Italy, or at least attempting to, and you pulled some strings to have the event deleted, and Scan removed from the mod page.

Strangely every major revolt/algorithm event about you has been mysteriously removed. The most devastating event you ever got was one saying you could not expand in an area, and in that case you negotiated for it to only last a turn or so. That area? Cape Horn.

Don't act like you aren't the smallest bit privileged; your massive empire has pretty much nothing to do with skill. Tr0llis (talk) 21:12, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

The fact that you're invested in the game, Feud, is exactly the problem as I see it. I may not be terribly experienced in map games, but I do know a lot about historians, and I know that disinterestedness is very important to remove bias from history. Because you're invested in the game, you are determined to win (as anyone would). But the different is that you have the power to make yourself win. I don't know anyone who can handle that power, consciously or unconsciously (I know I wouldn't).

If you're so convinced that you would maintain this empire without being a mod (and it's entirely possible that you are), then why don't you resign, and see what happens? Prove that you can stay on top with skill alone. Nathan1123 (talk) 23:27, December 28, 2014 (UTC)

And by the way, it's not too late to put the brakes on Hispania, or any of the colonial powers for that matter. Now that we're entering the enlightenment, I wouldn't be surprised if were some outraged colonists seeking independence. Under the current panel of mods, however, I doubt that's ever going to happen. Nathan1123 (talk) 00:10, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Considering i had a major revolt in burma and decisively crushed it id say im not even relatively close to having every algoed revolt removed I also realize the likelyhood of some things that would revolt and right now is mostly asian possessions and maybe an African one (probably oyo) and thats if the Spanish empire was weak. Also considering Colonial empires hardly had revolts worth noting that would require an algo in OTL until the late 1700's revolutions. As for resigning, the game cant really afford an active mod resigning. As for the active panel of mods not letting independence, im vehemently against revolting for the sake of revolting but more revolting due to issues that are readily apparent. one of my biggest colonies in the americas with the need to revolt would probably be the Viceroyalty of the Rio Grande for the major point of it being only aristocratically white and majority mestizo and Indian which i fully accept and im more than willing to see it go when the time comes good terms or bad. I recognize people will have revolts and or independence wars, but your accusing mods of abusing a power that more or less doesnt get abused as much as your thinking it does. Mods do not get complete omnicience in terms of the game.

As per the Scan thing.. he was and has been an honorary mod for months and him writing an event wasnt allowed by the rules of being an honorary mod. YOU REQUIRE A REVOTE BY MODS TO BE BROUGHT BACK IN. I did not write away the revolt. I had it looked at by two different mods, one of which could have easily profited from me not being in the area. They both said a revolt of that scale wasnt plausible considering events and politics of the area of the time. (These mods being Crim and Sky, with Sky being rather new to his modship)

If we had quite a few of our older players this game would be loads different but when you have a whole load of new people and your suddenly considered upper echelon player material and then go and prove yourself to the point of being voted in as a mod, id say im doing fine. I may do a questionable event from time to time, but i dont sit here and openly give my enemies some massive rebellion through a mod event, in fact im against that. But your trying to say that were so ridiculously biased that we wont let our own empire suffer from time to time. I personally only question revolts i know are implausible. A Burman noble revolting like he did or natives preventing all expansion into an area like happened in the Kongo i wont argue. I didnt even try to argue. On top of that i have territorial setbacks in north america, widescale native attacks in south america, and have revolts due to my mere presence in moving in china (that i helped put down so they explicitly wouldnt march on my newly acquired enclave). As for the size of my american colonies... i control roughly the same amount of territory as Spain did in the 1720's and 1730's that essentially wasnt fully recognized in treaty until the 1750's they still claimed control over it just liek i do. Control is the ability to fight and send troops to die over it. if you cant do that you lose it. If someone was to decide to invade me while im in the middle of a massive and draining war in asia whose to say ill win the very general thought that im unbeatable didnt even come from me.

Your trying to compare and contrast OTL history of this period, with ATL history of this period which is wholly different which most of the sane players will recognize. When other mods tell me to scale back (which i have been asked too and agreed whole heartedly) i usually do and if i dont i present legitimate counter arguements. Your support of the mississippia really clues me in to your absolute lack of understanding for what happens in this game. That was one of the most implausible nations created and it was broken up with a relatively decent series of events. Major floodings (which do happen) followed by tribes refusing to aknowledge control of the central city anymore. for a nation that DIDNT HAVE HORSES it was way too big. The Inca were not even that large at their height OTL and they were at their terminal limit by not having some fast means of communication other than a dude that ran on foot on a stone highway. It was amazing they were as big as they were and survived as well as they did. A Mississippia larger than that would not and should not be a surviving state.

Considering your not even in the game i really dont see a need for you to be commenting on a game YOUR NOT EVEN INVOLVED IN. While you have a few valid points a few have been considered alot of what you say is absolutely ridiculous and seems more just a personal opinion that a real legitimate proposal here. I may have taken you seriously

Feud, you went full Viva. Never go full Viva.

05:01, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Nathan, you're making some valid points (for which I commend you), but I've been working with feud for quite a bit now. If you've seen how he plays and how he runs this game, you'd agree with me when I say that feud is anything BUT biased. I've been moderating these games for three or so years now and I know biased moderating when I see it. Feud is one of the most efficient and neutral we've had in this entire franchise. I know a massive power being a mod seems a bit biased, but with his playing style, he deserves every pixel he has. We've been approached with the prospect of mods not being players and we came to the conclusion that we'd just lose interest in the game.

Tr0llis, you're getting a bit out of hand with those accusations. Please tone it down. Crim de la Crème 05:04, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Well, like I said, it is entirely possible that all these empires formed from skill alone. But because at least a lot of them are also run by mods (I'm not sure how many), it's very difficult to take them seriously.

And on another note, there's no reason why we shouldn't have major revolutions before the 18th century: the Hussite Wars (1419-1434), the Cornish Rebellion (1493-1497), the German Peasants' War (1525), the French Wars of Religion (1562-1598), and the English Civil War (1642-1651), are just to name few, although I have no idea how many were actually implemented. Nathan1123 (talk) 00:42, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Every map game with a mod system has mods playing. It's just that way.

—Bfoxius (talk)

@Crim are they accusations if they are just true facts? Tr0llis (talk) 00:51, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Votes to instate moderators are needed for new moderators, or honorary moderators who never ran. Scan already had and won his election, the only reason he is currently listed as an honorary moderator is because he is inactive (at least he was active enough to move his name, unlike some of thew moderators), and for that reason he does not require a vote to be readded. Scan has made several events when I was there actually, in the past few months he has practically been more active than the "active" moderators. I guess it must have been a coincidence that after he made one about Italy Feud decided to remove him, and the event.

When I was a moderator you largely prohibited me from making negative events about you anyway. If you recall Feud, I once made an event saying your expansion along the Cape Horn in winter is halted, and even that barely got through. I originally made an event saying your expansion is temporarily halted, but you edited it and removed that part, and so on.

As for Italy, since people bring that one up a lot, you got that by making up a claim to the throne. I know this because I helped you, and at the time didn't really care, but you basically made up a story in your turn about deserving to own Italy, and then you took it. Since then you've had no problems holding it, and have even claimed that the Italians are being selectively diminished in population. Next you annex several other areas near Italy, claiming that they are part of this claim, even though they are outside the Kingdom of Italy. Whatever, you conquered some things, but oddly you haven't had a single bad Italian event.

If you consider the history of Italy that seems strange. What about when the Holy Roman Emperor tried to conquer all of Italy, there was constant rebellion and resistance in Italy throughout. Oh, let me guess you conquered it with an algo and now it's fairly yours? (This is a defense people tell me a lot.) How come when I conquered Saxony fair and square with an algorithm I was pressured into peacefully releasing it? What about the event(s) that were attempted to make even more territory go? Many of those territories are owned by "Feud's Puppet/Buffer State", seemingly without consequence. Also what a coincidence the states I gladly gave up to be plausible, unlike here, were later used to conquer Austria.

Isn't it strange that the first time Scan tried to break up Italy (before you owned it), and you removed it? Then it would be a lot harder to claim out of thin air all in one go. Remember each consecutive time Scan tried to remove Italy? Good thing he's removed now, now Scan won't be any problem at all. Mscoree (talk) 01:06, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Oh Feud, what are you saying?

In Europe, you have control over Hispania and Italy (the latter which you claim has been Hispanized and will never rebel), and an alliance/close relations with Croatia and Bavaria. As for France, you have an ongoing made up rivalry with them which obviously won't lead to any permanent 'enmity'. Moreover, could anyone forget the 300 year old 'Westminister' that had established hegemony over Europe consisting of an alliance of Hispana, Britannia, Scandivania and France.

In America, you are obviously a major power, controlling vast land. You even have what one would refer to as 'puppet state' in America, that is Peru.

In Africa, you virtually controlling much of North West Africa; having Algiers and Morocco completely under your grip. Similarly, you have land present from what are the remnants of Oyo. Meanwhile, you have Madagascar, South Africa and hundreds of islands by the coast under your control. Not to mention you virtually control all of South African coastline from the Cape of Good Hope upto Kenya? |onte another African tribal state, which is most likely allied with you in turn occupied much of South Atlantic African coastline. You also have a colony present where there is Congo

In Asia, you already posses Phillipines and Burma under your control. You maintain control over many islands in the Pacific as well.. Regardless, you have numerous enclaves in India, and most notably; the Indian state of Urdustan so closely allied with you that the only thing that separates both of you is the creation of a 'Spanish Raj'. Meanwhile, you maintain 'excellent' relations with the Chinese states of Yunnan and Wu and 4 enclaves all over China who's combined population you claim is near 1 million when most sources say otherwise. Most notably, you manipulate Chinese NPC States as to fit your desires via Mod Events. As when, the Small Kingdoms remained idol when you sought to occupy enclaves but quickly united and established order when Manchu were able to acquire a border with them, for you feared that Manchu would occupy them. Similarly, you made Chinese states rebel against the Imperium of Heaven. Finally, you made all of China boycott trade and such with all foreign nations, particularly Manchu Empire therefore they no longer traded with the Manchu (As part of your goal to isolate Manchuria which refused to be your puppet) and yet your port of Shanghai in China continued to receive its goods and there was no end to the Chinese demand for Spanish goods while at the same time boycotting all other foreign goods since Spanish are Chinese right? Should not have Shanghai collapsed?

And Australia? Where you have been expanding at a speed faster than the British. Then again, no wonder you were so opposed to a Viva setting up his Empire in Eastern Australia since you wanted it

And finally, when was the last time you ever received a rebellion? That 1 rebellion in Burma after 350 or so years?

RexImperio (talk) 07:20, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

I must admit that I am somewhat dismayed by the immense speed with which Hispania has conquered basically the entire Eastern Australian coast. After thirty years, Britain, whilst it laid claim to the entire Eastern two-thirds, still only had effective control over the greater Sydney region and the Hobart region. This is purely from an Australian history point of view, not a comment on the player. Callumthered (talk) 22:30, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Careful Callum, you are this close to going the way of Scan. Tr0llis (talk) 22:40, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Trollis you were told what happened, Scan stepped down and just assumed he could return without following the proper protocol (which requires re-election) im nowhere near a spanish raj tbh, and i adjusted my population in China after your provided evidence to the contrary MS (i was spitballing) As for australia, i will slow it down after the next map but as i said alot of the "control" on the map is still sparsely populated and could be taken in a war relatively easily if someone warred me for it.

As for Spanish Raj eip would vehemently oppose that statement and would probably fight me tooth and nail if i actually tried for one.

As for chinese mod events, one of them actively made an entity more powerful, another allied them against manchu/japan who have collectively waged at least 4-6 wars on them within 100-150 years all of them to take territory and conquest full warlord states. The only thing i even did that "weakened" them was a famine that didnt even kill many or detract from any scores. As for imperium i didnt write that event Saam did, Saam also united the small kingdoms in response to JAPAN AND HISPANIA acquired enclaves and then they unified and centralized fully and were just never updated on the map (cause sine fell off the map making wagon) I never made an event that boycotted the Manchu and more just unified them against a threat that was steadily advancing through china in a much more threatening and hostile way than i ever was previously. I bought 3 of my enclaves and expanded into one. NOT A SINGLE ONE was a war. Shanghai and spain supported Wu to maintain their royal family as well as my new found trade.

Italy on the happenstance of Scans original breakup was deemed extremely harsh and was retconned by a good majority of mods who agreed just cause Quashi advanced fast didnt mean he should die. Now in terms of his second attempted revolt against me, He was writing events when he was no longer considered an active mod CRIM AND SKY both confirmed his non mod status, we all discussed it, and i even spoke with MP about it later who also agreed with the verdict me sky and crim came up with. Lets go apart to mention the HRE attempted flat out conquest of Italy, and the Spanish/Austrian in general held onto Naples well into the 1800's with little consequence.

As for hispanicized italy.. no the whole thing is not hispanicized, Only PARTS of the kingdom of naples and some smaller townships up north are truly Hispanic in terms of language and culture.

As for Trollis throwing these accusations around, you were told to stop by crim please heed the warning or ill be speaking with a TSPTF member about the false Bullshit you seem to be throwing out CONSTANTLY.

Lesson number one about mods: Just because a mod posts a new turn with events, doesn't mean they wrote every single event, it simply means they're starting a turn and copy-pasting events that have been written and thought out for almost months.

Lesson number two, since Scan stepped down due to real life concerns (Like school, etc.), this does not mean he was forced out by a fellow moderator. That cannot happen without an impeachment vote and the only mod that I can recall that had an impeachment vote by the moderators was Mscoree.

Lesson number three, when a mod steps down, they are given the title of honorary moderator to highlight their contribution and dedication to the Principia Moderni games, as well as the elegence of their playstyle. This also means that they are not a true acting moderator and must be voted back into active position. Those as honorary moderators therefore cannot create events, no matter how plausible or implausible. &#34;SO SAYETH THE EAGLE&#34; - Fascist Eagle ಠ_ಠ (talk) 01:13, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

I'd say the difference is that Scan voluntarily marked himself honorary because he was away at the time. He was never voted out, and should not be removed, and if people are simply temporarily becoming inactive, they should be able to come and go from honorary to active. The only people who require a vote are the people who haven't had a vote before, ie the specific honorary moderators who are only there because they used to moderate PM2, not the ones who are just temporarily on vacation. You can't really penalize Scan just for taking a break, half the other moderators already do, he just had the decency to mark himself as less than active. Mscoree (talk) 01:44, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

He still left all out, resigned from his nation, pretty much said he wasnt able to mod.. We all considered him a honorary mod and more or less treated him as such, He requires the vote, just cause you see it as such and such way does not mean every single mod sees it as such and such way. Scan more or less has taken his permanent leave for the most part (speaking of which i probably need to put most of the other mods that have been gone a long time on the honorary mod spot too) We set the precedent, if you step down then you need a new vote, if you wish to reclaim your mod status in any way shape or form you need a re vote by the current active mods. this was/has been an established precedent since the very beginning of the game when dean/nova stepped down for much the same reason and tried the same thing. We decided to make it a vote. If scan wants to come back he needs to let us know and get voted back in. He is not the exception here, neither is anyone else. Fed has been gone long enough to warrant the same treatment, if he wishes to return he needs to be voted back in as well. In all aspects we should probably discuss this with Callum as well to facilitate him being voted back onto the mod squad.

You do not need to be voted out if you are inactive, if you are inactive you have forfeited your duties for whatever reason whether they be personal or just grand total disinterest. If you havent been modding for the past 4 or 5 months and have been overall wiki inactive you have not been in the loop and would need to be taking necessary steps here. MS active mods are the only ones that need to be voted for removal. Its like running a company, if you step away for 8 months for personal matters or just being disinterested your more than likely not going to be able to take your company back over. The Same applies to every mod that deals with this. If you want to return then you need the vote. The Precedent has been around for nearly a full year. The Accusations with Scan can stop, and if they continue they will be counted as baseless and harassing/slander i dont appreciate it when im not even the one that originally said he cant be writing events. Crim and Sky both agreed as does eip, sine, and mp. thats a wide majority of the mods. Shit we even told von who was immensely active in PMII that due to honor mod status he requires a vote and he understood. There seems to be a lack of understanding here.

You guys are going off on me in particular cause you seem to be throwing every single mods crappy actions right at me and accusing me of doing things that honestly were created by other mods as well. Your accusing me of biased events when quite a bit of the events you put out there to accuse me of were written by someone else. Your also saying that im stalling peoples expansion when they shouldnt be stalled... If you wage 3-4 wars or more in a singular region in the grand attempt at making an empire your going to get revolts and coalitions, Especially in china when the entire warlord system over there is geared towards MAKING IT HARD TO UNIFY. Rimp in particular you told me you EXPECTED to see the chinese states unify against you. Your throwing something in my face when you wholly expected it to happen. To be honest this needs to be cased closed cause so far i have gotten backup from two active mods who both are in agreement with the judgement.

Most of your examples aren't actually true though. There never was a vote for Nova. Von never had a vote in the first place, hence why he isn't a moderator. You are more or less describing the opposite of the precedence, which I know because I was once solely responsible for contacting each moderator to add them to the document, and for administrating its properties. If you want to be a moderator, regardless if you are a player or a former PM2 moderator (called honorary moderators) then you need to be voted in. If you are a moderator and you become inactive, you can voluntarily mark yourself as an honorary moderator as well. The difference is you already had your vote, you were always a moderator and never removed. I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at with your example with business, because I can think of several companies where the president or owner stepped down for several months and then came back in with the same position. Mscoree (talk) 02:20, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

At what point did OTL coincide with ATL? From the opening turns of PMIII, there was a huge point of divergence. We're attacking the Spanish Empire for...Being a Spanish Empire that has lasted a bit longer than the other one? I suppose, we could use OTL events in PMIII, if this was OTL, but this is alternate history. Divergences lead to divergences. You cannot expect a Spanish Armada to be destroyed two-hundred something years after a radically different history of interaction between Spain and Britannia. When Spain is using a better form of colonial administration, you cannot expect the same colonial wars and issues to pop up three-hundred something years after a divergence. If these could happen, what is the point of alternate history if we are trying to get back to OTL as if this was just some experiment to see how different we could get before we suddenly decided that OTL dictates Alternative History.

At this point, it seems as if players just want to expand and Spain is in their way. In PMIII, you cannot expect a mod event to create expansion for you because you're too damned lazy to create a coalition or network of alliances to bring down an empire. When the Timurid Empire and Mughal Empire encroached upon Burma, did I cry foul to moderators that they should collapse for putting too many cultures together? Hell no. I create the Indian League and fought back. History is dictated by those who take a stand and lead for all they are worth, not by those who complain until they get what they want. &#34;SO SAYETH THE EAGLE&#34; - Fascist Eagle ಠ_ಠ (talk) 02:54, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

MS my point in general is that when you own/run a company and you have a board of directors you can be voted out of your position as CEO of a company. Its happened, thats the point im making. Dean did in fact have a vote for the return to modship and was given a solid no. Von also asked wheter a vote was needed and to be honest it was just never pursued following the revelation that the precedent for a vote was needed. MS considering your not a mod anymore and your the ONLY active mod that was voted out for incompetence being one reason you seem to not have ever known that it was needed. If you go inactive at any point and you end up in the honorary position A VOTE IS REQUIRED, this is the precedent we set that you want to ignore for some reason. I have had it confirmed by almost every other mod by this point. YOU ARE WRONG. If you slip to honorary position for whatever reason a vote is required period end of discussion

CAPS. Long paragraph. Calm down a bit Feud, it seems you're taking these accusations a little too close to heart. Nothing to seriously take offense from here.

03:10, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

Why not just end these arguments? Instead of destroying PMIII with these arguments, why not just bring forward a mod event makes some of Feuds colonies rebel? And similarly, break off some of the alliances that exist which has turned PM3 into a unipolar world where friends gang up together, disregarding how their nations would never ally with one another. Such as


 * 1) Hispania and Urdustan [Personally, for Bengal to have been so keen on cooperating with foreigners and such, is highly unlikely. Most Indian states didn't take interest in cooperating with foreign trade companies until the mid 1700s or so]
 * 2) Hispania and Wu Empire [I have absolutely no idea how Spain was able to extend his influence so much in Wu, and place a Chinese family upon the throne. Regardless, while I believe that there should be no problem in Wu seeking trade and such with Spain; however Spain should not be able to extend its sphere of influence upon Wu to the extreme end. As stated by Josh [Previous Wu Player] himself, Wu would've become a part of the Spanish Crown had not he (Josh) opposed it. Basically, I am saying that Spain's influence in China should be limited and I am pretty sure Bandon (Current Wu Player) agrees with me.]
 * 3) Japan and Manchuria [Basically, the same thing as Hispania and Wu except that Japan and Manchuria even decided to enter into a Personal Union and that union is now being headed by a Japanese Emperor. Close relations should be acquired, but are not PU's and such too early?]
 * 4) Damascan Sultanate and Mansurriyya Sultanate (And most of UIN) [Personally, I am not even sure how Mansurriyya has not been overtaken by the Persians, who virtually should be dominating the state. Regardless, I really don't see how a Sunni Arab State (Damascan) is able to acquire an alliance with a Shi'ite Persian State (Mansurriyya). Both the Sunni - Shi'ite Rivalry and the Arab - Persian Enmity completely void this alliance. Similarly, I have absolutely no idea why the Damascan Sultanate is also allied to the Suri Empire, an Indo-Afghan state. What is even more strange is that the Damascan Sultanate cedes its lands and gives them over to the Suri Empire and also calls upon other UIN states to do the same. Examples include Suri ports at Hejaz and Sumatra.]
 * 5) Roman Empire and Damascan Sultanate [Not much except that these states should've gone to war very long ago. Except however, they rather 'cooperate'. As seen when they jointly invaded Aegypt, and the Damascan Sultanate gave up almost all of Egypt to the Romans. Same happened when they invaded the Georgian Confederacy where Georgia and Armenia were given up to Rome by the Damascan Sultanate]
 * 6) Croatia [I see this state as virtually the Austro - Hungary Empire of PM3 with having control over Croatia, Poland, Parts of Austrian Empire, Hungary, Parts of Romania, Bohemia, Trieste and therefore Croatia must face difficulty in controlling this multi-ethnical state. Perhaps the threat of the Ottoman Empire bound the Austro - Hungary together but is there any such threat to Croatia in PM3? ]
 * 7) Britannia [Basically, we need a player who can actually play as Britannia. That is, stand upto France and Spain instead of allying with them (Westminister) or allow itself to become a pawn in their attempts to extend their power (Britannian War of Succession) so yeah...]
 * 8) Urdustan [It appears to me that unlike most Indian Kingdoms, Urdustan rarely ever faces a rebellion. In fact, the last rebellion it faced was by Vijaynagar centuries ago and like everyone knows, apparently there's a rule that states 'If a nation rebelled once, it won't ever rebel again' and 'If you face a rebellion once, you have every right to not face another for a century'.. Strange right? Another 'rebellion' that Urdustan faced was the Secessionist League in India. And guess what? Eip himself had called for a Mod Event for this to take place so he could basically cut down half of the Indian states making it easier for him to expand in the future. Even then, Eip could not beat those Indian states so therefore in the algo HE DID NOT ADD INFRA FOR THE SECESSIONIST LEAGUE. Strangely, when the Indian states were being carved, while everyone got land in areas they bordered, Eip managed to acquire land in Mewar (In Western India) itself despite there being 1 - 2 Secessionist State in between Mewar and Bengal which ofcourse Eip swallowed as well. Even stranger was how Eip managed to get himself land all the way on the other side of India at Gujarat. One might say 'Urdustani Sind' was nearby which leads one to wonder, why did Indian states accept Bengal being granted half of Sind in the aftermath of the war against Mughals despite Bengal not having any geographical, cultural or any such link with Sind except perhaps by religion. Is this not being biased?]

I most likely left a lot of stuff out but arguing never leads to anything... As for Feud and his colonies, I didn't mention them but the point is some of them need to rebel. RexImperio (talk) 07:10, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

I was merely pointing out what I perceived to be a somewhat implausibly fast expansion; considering both otl precedents and the fact that I had invested quite a few events (re: the Tharawal and Torres Strait Islanders) whose sole purpose was to slow down future European colonisation attempts by empowering the Aborigines. I apologise for any misunderstanding. If I require a re-election to re-gain modship, I was unaware of the fact. Indeed, considering that I feel I have been unfairly inactive as a mod, if a re-election is required, I think I may decide not to stand for it. Apart from a few mod event arcs surrounding Australia, and a few small mod responses, I feel I have done very little to deserve the honour that was bestowed upon me last game.

Oldenburg Returns
Hello chums,

I have returned from my travels, and now hope to get right back into the game. A seemingly endless summer holiday stretches before me, giving me, at long last, plenty of time for it.

If someone would be so kind as to give me a brief recount of any events of interest to Oldenburg, it would be much appreciated. Callumthered (talk) 02:04, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Welcome back!

The only real thing of concern is the Britannian war of succession, Spain is currently supporting the Scottish claimant, and france has declared support for the House of Hamburg, and scandinavia has decided to divert trade to the baltic. There have been mod events ramping up the tension between Spain and France, but so far neither has acted on it.

Other than that, not much. I am that guy (talk)

Im just trying to make sure the correct people are back before the war happens, dont want it to be ridiculously one sided, thats not always that much fun ;P
