Map Games

Map Games are collaborative althistory games in which a starting map is posted and players take turns making changes to the map and posting alternate history events.

General Guidelines
For instructions on Map Games, consult the Map Game Oversight Committee. Make sure you don't create a map game without proposing it to the committee first.

Finished Games
Games end once they reach the present year or an earlier predetermined ending. These games have reached that point:
 * Map Game - The first Map Game. It ended because of year limits (up to 1 June 2010 on this wiki). It is also notable for at one point being more active than Talk:1983: Doomsday and having one of its maps used by Wikia to advertise this wiki. Founded by Baconton.
 * Rebirth of the World Map Game - Finally got to 2010.
 * Atlantic Islands (Map Game) - The first map game to be used specifically for a timeline, all of the islands were colonized.

 * Hot Cold War (Map Game) - Game about World War 3 but ended in ASB.

 * Night of the Living Alternate History - Original map game created by Mscoree. On October 1, 1968 George A. Romero released the film, Night of the Living Dead. Today it is viewed as the beginning of Zombies on the big screen, but what if that’s not all it inspired? Noted as being one of the most popular map games ever created.
 * Principia Moderni III - Popular sequel to the first two Principia Moderni map games. Begins in 1400, near the approximate beginning of the modern era. Currently the longest-running map game record-holder. Reached the time of it's ending, 2015.
