Crim. Announce your support THIS TURN, or I'm taking MP's offer and joing the Grand Alliance.

I can't wait that long! If I get into war with the Meredians, and the Grand Alliance join me instead of them- and that's what going to happen- then I can't just brush them off!

Hey Crimson Assasin.

You wanna join my new game?

Russia (PMII)
I was planning to tear Russia into five pieces, but I decided not to. It would have given Scraw another thing to bitch about. I just want it to be a guaranteed victory before I commit to it. Will we be able to take the Russian Bear down? As long as we don't go after the former vassals, and we leave a reduced but independent Russia I may consider it. I'm still imagining the annoying whining Scraw will do if we actually pull it off. Yank 21:31, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I won't be able to join you in any anti-Russia war because it'd provide Scraw, who thinks himself the almighty protector of Russia, material against me. And Scraw? If you're reading this then I'm going to say that I was only considering a war with Russia. And if war came I wouldn't use mod events to cheat. You're just as big a prick as Viva is. You're bitching about a war that hasn't even happened yet, and probably never will. At least where Scandinavia is concerned.--Yank 21:44, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Magnam Europae
As you know I am a big fan of this timeline. I was wondering if you needed any help creating a map of Europe, as I would be happy to do this. Any other help you require I would be happy to help with. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 18:18, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Sure, what do you have in mind? Mscoree (talk) 19:14, October 11, 2013 (UTC)

Do you mean Balkans? As in 21, 20, 17, etc. Also do you want more of a general map of Europe, or just the HRE itself highlighted? Mscoree (talk) 20:20, October 11, 2013 (UTC)

Here's my first draft for a map of the HRE. Tell me if you see any problems and I'll be happy to fix it. I will also begin work on a general map of Europe shortly. Mscoree (talk) 21:15, October 11, 2013 (UTC)



No problem. Tell me if you need anything else. I already spotted a few errors that I'll work on, and as I said, I'll make a general map of Europe at some point too. Mscoree (talk) 21:20, October 11, 2013 (UTC)

PMII
You might have a problem with revolters in PMII. I advise to crush them, do not make peace with them. Otherwise you will make the Kazakhs stronger in their thinking. Imp (Say Hi?!) 11:00, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Nothing of the sort. You just need to state your army calms the situation down. How is up to you, genocide might be useful or forced migrations could work too. Spend a couple years in game on this. :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 00:20, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Greetings Mr. Red Killer. I saw in chat that you needed some pictures of some old timey medieval whatnot, so I set out to find such knowledge within the Google machine. Lo and behold, here are some results:

If all else fails, take Jesus' head from something and put it on someone else, cause Jesus never looks the same in any two pictures, as far as I have seen.

Really do not see the Celts doing anything about it, Crim. Not so much an Irish thing, you know?

Norfolk outside of the Woodbridge/Newolland parts is bandit territory, with small pirate bands. TBA holds a lot of influence/power there. No way there is any communities there.

Lordganon (talk) 09:12, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

I'd guess that such a radio program would be from the more southern states - they're a bit more built up in that regard. Lordganon (talk) 13:52, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

"Mediation"
I have attempted numerous times to "compromise" or given extremely reasonable conditions to him. He has failed to even acknowledge these, or simply ignores them. At this point, he just doesn't want to listen to rules or the admins.

The idea that some sort of "mediation" is "needed" is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

If he starts in on you or anyone else in the chat, Crim, just block him from it for a couple hours. He knows better.

Russia PMII
I ask you to please reconsider. I do not want war with China and her people.

I took from his arguement a with yank that he wants the legit government in place. I will temporarily suspend conflict. I will ask lx what he wants before getting involved. But if he doesn't want Eqaulism, then it will help him. If he does, I'll recognise the government after the civil war. I'm try to make Germany unstable enough to have a revolution too. Can't seem to figure out a good way to do it. I want Germany Eqaulist, but can't seem to find a good way to do it.

Salutations Crim, I'm not planning to expand towards the HRE but south and eastern Europe i see we may reap plenty of mutual benefits if we ally and cover each other's back.

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Lieutenant in the TSPTF. I would like to spend sometime discussing those powers:


 * You should now notice a red button at the top of every article with the word "Delete". You can use this to delete articles, obviously. Use this power sparingly and always stay within the framework of the Deletion Policy. The policy itself was passed with little discussion, so if you have any suggestions or comments regarding it I would be glad to hear it.
 * You can also block users from editing. This can be done by clicking on the History page for articles or the Contributions tab on editor's user pages. Again, use this sparingly. This is our most destructive tool. We don't have a policy on this, but there is a general custom that has been followed: always assume good faith with edits (unless obviously vandalism), warn before blocking (try using the three strikes approach) and start with short block durations for first time offenders. Generally other administrators will not interfere with your decisions regarding blocks, as long as it appears fair on its face.
 * You will also notice a button on the top of every article that says "Protect". With this you can prevent certain people from editing a single article. The first level prevents anons and new users from editing an article. The second level limits editing only to administrators. Use this to prevent excessive vandalism or to prevent edit wars between users.
 * There are other obscure powers that are not used often. If you have any questions on those or the ones I mentioned above, feel free to ask me.

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck.

Karaks
Just wanted to let you know that part of your development of karacks has been crossed out. Firstly, carracks aren't even invented yet, and when they are it will be out of necessity, for the purpose of exploring the Atlantic Ocean and the coast of Africa. You have no reason to build such a ship, especially when you claim it is on some sort of futuristic ship. I only crossed out the part about you comparing the karack to the carrack, so you still have built a bunch of ships. The difference is that they are much smaller and similar to already existing ships considering you spent no time actually developing or researching new technology. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 18:47, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

I don't recall you exploring the African coast, and even if you have claimed to, that in itself is likely implausible. Bavaria, the nation you appear to be citing, has not made any either. Mscoree (talk) 20:54, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Well done, Crim. Considering the warning I had just given him prior to that, combined with his reaction to it, I have extended it. Can't say I didn't warn him what would happen when he screwed up next.

For the record, you guys are right, and Non is just parroting lies.

No worries, though, I know they're fibbing about claims as to what you've said.

Hello CrimsonAssasin,

Yesterday I wrote following to general wikia support:

''I want to inform you that your wikia - http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Ludwig_von_Hiedler_%28A_World_of_Difference%29 - is totally made up without any evidence. Furthermore, I personally feel offended by your 'wikia' as I have the same name and I feel the risk that it could show me and my family members in a bad light. I kindly ask you too remove it from the web.''

In their answer they suggestes to bring this matter up with an Admin directly. I don't want to ruin your crazy story but I kindly ask you to remove it from the web or change the name (Ludwig von Hiedler) entirely.

Magnam Europae
A few notes that I was going to tell you in chat.

About raids. These weren't organized invasions by a foreign nation. Viking raids were often led by Norse warlords or unlanded folk, who raided for plunder at their own expense and then left, repaying whatever lord or jarl they swear fealty to or were sent by. In terms of raiding Charlemagnes' empire, some believe this was in retaliation for Charlemagne's expansion into pagan lands, forcing Norse to convert or be killed. I'm not sure when (if he even does) Charlemagne does this in your timeline, but that would likely predate major Viking raids.

One of the most successful raids by the Vikings in Francia would be Normandy. The Viking leader Rollo besieged Paris in 911 and established the Duchy of Normandy. Rollo was defeated at the Battle of Chartres primarily by Robert, Marquis of Neustria; Richard, Duke of Burgundy; and Manasses, Count of Dijon. Hervé, the Archbishop of Reims negotiated with Rollo, who entered vassalage to Charles the Simple of the West Franks through the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. This treaty was also was a political move for the French, since it granted Britanny to the Normans, a territory they did not even control and had tried to seize much earlier. Brittany was of course seized by Vikings for a time after Alan I, King of Brittany died, and the Cotentin Peninsula was lost by Brittany to Normandy.

Other than that the Norse had no settlement in Francia, with all other raids intended to seize plunder. The Frankish king's vassals would be responsible for arming their levies and protecting their demesne from attack, but it unlikely that the Frankish would actually mount an invasion into Scandinavia, nor would they be able to hold it most likely.

That brings us to Ragnar Lodbrok. I assume were are talking about the most famous Ragnar (Old Norse: Ragnarr Loðbrók). There are several sources on him, including the Ragnars saga Loðbrókar, the Ragnarssona þáttr, and a few others. I will primarily be referencing the second, known as the Tale of Ragnar's sons, but I recommend you check some of them out yourself. I'm not sure what you've gathered from your show, but based on the chronicles, Ragnar should be in England, not fighting a war with the Frankish.

It is said that Ragnar Lodbrok was finally captured by Ælla of Northumbria, after years of raiding England and France. Ragnar was executed in a pit of snakes, leaving behind many famous sons, including Ivar the Boneless, Björn Ironside, Halfdan Ragnarsson, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, and Ubbe Ragnarsson. His sons were dedicated to avenging their father, so by 865 AD, the Great Heathen Army has landed in the British Isles, invading the four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that constitute England. Ælla was given the blood eagle (a form of torture performed by cutting the ribs of the victim by the spine, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood-stained wings, and pulling the lungs out through the wounds in the victim's back. Salt was sprinkled in the wounds.) The Great Heathen Army made a number of conquests across the Isles, establishing a few Norse nations, such as Jorvik.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on the Norse in your timeline. In conclusion, the Frankish wouldn't launch an all out war against the Norse at that time, and not for that reason. If they did they would not be fighting Ragnar Lodbrok most likely, as he should be doing stuff in England.

As for Charlemagne's empire. If Irene is marrying into the Karolins with non matrilineal succession, then they should be respecting the Frankish laws. The Frankish used gavelkind succession meaning that upon death a father's titles were equally distributed among sons. This was useful as it prevented giant succession wars in most cases among sons, but it also had the down side of permanently separating an empire, eg why France, Germany, and Italy aren't all one country. This is kind of a bummer but there's no easy way to just get rid of this system this early in the timeline without it being very implausible and liberal for the time. Also in many cases it's inevitable that when an empire holds such a large region this early in the medieval period their nation drops to the lowest possible crown authority and elective succession becomes the most fair method of succession. An example of this would be the Holy Roman Empire, where vassals became de facto independent despite being de jure one empire. I saw that you had the nation changing these laws because of the Viking War, but again I find that unlikely. Most likely when the emperor dies the "Carolingian Empire" is divided among sons. In OTL this was done by the Treaty of Verdun, which divided Charles' empire (at that point governed by Louis the Pious, Charles' only legitimate son) into a few parts:

Lothair (the oldest) received the central portion which was known as Middle Francia. This was the main section, and included the two imperial cities, Aachen and Rome. It also included the the Low Countries, Lorraine, Alsace, Burgundy, Provence, and the Kingdom of Italy. Since he was the oldest the imperial title also was inherited by him, although he held nominal control over his brothers' lands.

Louis the German received East Francia, including all land east of the Rhine and north and east of Italy. This eventually became the Kingdom of Germany, the largest component in the Holy Roman Empire.

Charles the Bald West Francia, now known as France, including everything west of the Rhône. Pepin II was granted the kingdom of Aquitaine, but only under the authority of Charles.

When Lothair died in 855 his portion was divided again, with Upper and Lower Burgundy (Arles and Provence) passing to his third son Charles of Provence, and the remaining territory north of the Alps to his second son Lothair II. This territory became known as Lotharingia (modern day Lorraine). Lothair's eldest son, Louis II, later inherited Italy and his father's claim to the Imperial title. And through a generation or two we now have essentially divided the Carolingian Empire into several nations.

Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to say for now, but I will add more when I think of more. I hope that helps. Tr0llis (talk) 22:23, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Just as a side note, the Ragnar that raided Paris is commonly called Reginherus, so I recommend you use that name to reference him, especially if its from the Franks' perspective. As for the heathen army, that wasn't lead by Ragnar Lodbrok, it was formed after his death by his sons who sought to avenge him by killing the Northumbrian king and pillaging much of England, a few quotes attributed to Ragnar in the sagas and his death-song Krákumál come to mind, such as "how the little piglets would grunt if they knew how the old boar suffered." Technically he could appear in your timeline since he flourished more so in the middle of the century. Tr0llis (talk) 23:14, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Crim, I am really happy you are back. :'D

Okay, once again I am being warned by the admin for being too rude to new editor. I must admit that sometime I get paranoid over the new user is can be a vandal, a spammer, a troll, or a sockpuppet. Every time I notices something strange with the new user, I will directly into his/her talk page and send an unworthy message.

LG and Nuke already warned me to tone down my temper and my paranoid over new user. But somehow, I can lost of control. I feel I must fulfilling my duty as a soldier in the frontier of war against vandalism and spam, but honestly I do not how to act nicely and correctly.

I think this is really a problem for myself. I really have a low temper control if I facing a new user. If you think I am overreacting and too paranoid, I will leaving this wiki for three weeks so I can calming myself and get a self-introspection. :'(

An Apology
Dear Crim,

I just wanted to send you an apology since you weren't on chat the other day. I'm sorry for my annoying and dumb behavior. Truthfully the war was a mess, and it was because of me. For that I apologize to you and I hope I can repair my reputation as a contributor in the future.

The other day I was a bit embarrassed to show up in chat, mostly because I was afraid of the ridicule that would follow. I tried to explain my story a bit, which I will explain here since you were absent.

Basically, it all started several weeks before the game started, when rumors were spread about me. Local, a player in Australia, for one made up this lie about me planning to betray all my current allies that I struggled to debunk, but there were others. Everyone distrusted me and some called for me to be impeached/banned before turn one. Someone, not sure who, told a lot of people bad things about me, so much so that Cookie, my current friend, admitted to me that he thought I was a horrible person and needed to be eliminated, until he actually talked to me. Cookie and the several other people who have confessed this to me, also said they weren't sure why they got this impression, but were just told so. Because of this on day one I swore to protect all the people who hated me. Since then many have become "cronies", and I am glad I was able to protect them for a time. I felt bad and just wanted to make them have an enjoyable game. Truthfully I never wanted to play PM3. I knew it would only bring about bad things, but I made a promise that I wouldn't give in to the rumors, and would try to prove all these people wrong. As Sine said, in the end my constant aiding of others has caused my downfall. Maybe I go, but I am glad that for a time others were able to play and be prosperous.

I spent the whole game catering to a certain few, and as part of the agreement I took the fall, hence the "ms cronies". I thought I was doing good, but at this very moment I don't know anymore. It has come to my attention that people who I thought were my real friends were in on this the whole time. Certain "allies" in Germany may have planned this whole thing. I was never supposed to play as Austria, that land was for someone else, and after months of being used and manipulated by this group, they have gotten it. I guess I never stopped to look around and realize what they were saying. I essentially was like a bodyguard, and a spokesperson, for an unknown person. I feel kind of ashamed, because for a time I thought they were my actual friends, but now I don't know what to believe.

For decades the only fun thing about PM3 for me has been stuff like debating on the Reichstag floor and exploring jungles for Spain in search of gold. It was really just the roleplaying aspect that helped me to move past all the other things. Now all that is being taken away, and I'm not sure what I have left. I think I should just do what people having been saying; maybe it's best if I just moved on. You said yourself I was so many things on the mod page, things I don't think I will ever live down. It really bugs me, which is why I think it's better if I avoid some big event and just quietly fade away. Just say the word, honestly.

Please just don't make fun of me. This isn't a rage quit or what have you. I'm not mad at all. I just think it's for the best that you know these things. I messed up really badly. I don't even remember half of the "shitstorms" since I was kind of 'out of it' if you know what I mean. I don't even know if these strings of characters make any sense. I guess it's kind of like how a million things come together just right and give birth to something wonderful. Every once in a while the moment is right, and it's best that no sadness or guilt be felt. Go on and have a great time at university, and a great career there after. I know you will do good. For some it's too late. Mscoree (talk) 17:28, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Royal Marriage Proposal
Hi, I'm contacting all the major nations in Europe in PM3 to tell you about some royal marriage proposals available this turn, for three different royal families. On my turn there are currently fifteen people who are looking for a spouse, simply reply to my turn as soon as you can to reserve a person. I will be looking over the proposals to try to avoid incest (although a little incest never killed nobody haha), and if you'd like to see family relations yourself, feel free to check out this page, where the family tree is located. If you would like further information or my recommendations for a particular person, message me back with your available children and their ages and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 15:43, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not trying to tie anyone down with these royal marriages,  I mostly just want to marry off some people. Some of the people are from different families, or are very obscure relatives. For example the only ones that are particularly close to Austria are the first few, involving Leopold. If you have a list of royals I'd be happy to look it over and set if we can make some matches. If we can't find anyone I'm sure we could always do something in the future. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 19:01, August 12, 2014 (UTC)

Land Purchase
Hi Crim, I was wondering if I could purchase the territory of Ingria back from Scandinavia. This is the small part that contains St. Patriksburg, which as you know was very special to both Razor and myself. I of course don't want any conflict with you, as my five decade long peace with you (which was proceeded by several more decades before the coalition), would show. I simply want to buy back this small territory so I could get back to roleplaying for the city. What do you think? Fritzmet (talk) 19:41, August 12, 2014 (UTC)

Confederate/Texan Relations
I'll put it into consideration as the game progresses, however, Texas abolished slavery in 1851 in the game ("Ordinance of 1851"). As of now, Texas is in a 7 year NAP with the United States. It's set to expire mid 1850s. Unless, slavery is not (or not the only) main reason for the American Civil War in the game, there is a slim chance that Texas will be allies with the CSA. However if things get rocky between the relations the United States, I might be your ally once the CSA forms. It all depends on how the game progresses.

Treaty
Here is the treaty I prepared for our war. Also I added two things putting in writing that you will withdraw from Prussia. Not that I don't trust you, but just in case I wanted to make sure you wouldn't pull a fast one and reinvade Prussia immediately. Hopefully we can move on and the three of us can be allies again like the good ol' days. Let me know what you think. Tr0llis (talk) 22:35, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Stop giving them chances. There is an entire Internet's worth of sites to troll if they want to troll, but if I know they are trolling then I will call them out, shun them and not let them drag this place down. There is no reason to put up with this crap as the wiki hardly benefits from them, just be done with them. Just compare the arguements of the old days to how it is now.

PMIII industrialization
Hey in terms of PMIII are we doing regional industrialization like we said where it would be Northern Iberia or Southern France (due to France and Spain being neck and neck really) or are we doing a Singular nation because it really makes no sense for the nation that invented the steam turbine and exclusively bought it out and made improvement to it, to not be a first industrializer. France in its own right can industrialize but it seems likely that both would industrialize at the same time as eachother.

From what I recall, based on discussion I had with MP, Sky, and a few others, France would start industrialization. Of course Spain can definitely start industrialization, but so can France. France also has the added benefit of being a great power centrally located around other great powers, such as Spain, Britain, Scandinavia, Bavaria. After beginning in north central France, industrialization would then spread outwards from there, coming to Spain and the Netherlands within a matter of a decade or so, then to Britain and German lands, and from there to Rome and the Balkan regions and the rest of the east.

What we discussed was industrialization starting in a region rather than just a country. By region, we theorized the Baltic area, Bavaria, the Balkans, French and Dutch lands, and Iberian areas. We eventually landed on northern France as a plausible place to begin industrialization.

So yeah, Spain could start industrialization, but so could France, so why not France alone for the first decade or so? Cookiedamage (talk) 03:49, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
