Possible wife for King Andrew??
I've found a possible wife for Andy:

The Honourable Victoria Ann Seely, daughter of David Peter Seely, 4th Baron Mottisone. The Seelys are/were an aristocratic family who had a connection with the Isle of Wight since the mid-19th century

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Seely,_4th_Baron_Mottistone

http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/index1073.htm

As you can see Miss Seely would be three years older than Andy and would be married in 1984 but we can simply retcon her husband out of existence.

According to that second link Miss Seely does have children OTL so it would seem that if she married Andy in this ATL the line of succession should be assured

Also there was a previous connection between the two families as Prince Philip and David Seely had served together in WWII and Philip was the godfather of David's son and Victoria's brother, Peter

re:Defunct Map Games
Hi. Go ahead and delete them. I had no idea I had made that many map games though!

Cheers- CrimsonAssassin 20:13, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Just go on, I have no problem with you deleting it, keep going ^^. --Galaguerra1 04:57, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. CrimsonAssassin 13:25, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

My Shameful blogpost
It's okay. I want the blogpost taken down. I was so infuriated when I wrote it, but I was seriously embarassed when I cooled down. I think it was a serious mistake on my part, and I am glad you took it down. I have Asperger's syndome, and it causes me to have a bit of short fuse on my temper. And while I have become better at controlling myself, I can still fly off the handle pretty easily. I apologize for the disruption my disgustingly shameful blogpost may have caused you. LG's behavior in recent months, and his fervent denials of wrong-doing make me so frustated. I will try to do better to control my temper on the wiki.

Yank 05:24, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Quite frankly, I don't think you had any right to delete that post without getting any sort of permission first. Nor did Yank have a single thing right.

Your posts on those pages are walls of text, and thus not readable. There are no spaces between spots where even looking at your code there is one intended. That's not my fault. Post like that anger-post on my talk page, layout-wise, on those other pages, and there is no problem at all.

And, if you'll notice, I'm not the only one being stifled. I'm done arguing with you when I see that you've not noted any of it. That should have been pretty darned obvious.

As for the rest? You are the pot calling the kettle black. And I'm getting sick of it.

Lordganon 07:58, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that he gave you permission - after the fact. That ignored that I don't think you had any right to do so in the first place.

Standard Wiki formatting would also include such things as an Enter Button, would it not? And if you think I'm the only one who adjusts comments to make them readable for themselves and the community then you're sadly mistaken.

Please. Looking at your posts for the last while shows that you've consistently been like that, and have started things several times, randomly. None of what you just said is true, and you've already entirely forgotten all of Kenny's trash except what he said originally. Guess I should have expected that.

Lordganon 17:30, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Oh if we're allowing fighting like this, why don't we just unban Catherine and Owen? You're admins, guys. Be better than this. CrimsonAssassin 18:25, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

LG do you realise how rude you sound right now? At first you were just squabbling with Yank but with Ben? Ben is one of our most experienced and respected members. For you to continue say to "I'm right your all wrong" is rude, no doubt, but to the Brass of the TSPTF? Ben is in the right. And for you to have the ego to tell him bold-faced that you did nothing wrong, but rather he has is uunbelievable.

I think you fail to realise how many people you've insulted. Most of the British editors on 1983:DD are infuriated at how you handled the Celtic Alliance situation, for starters. You were very nearly impeached a while back, much like I was but rather than calm down like I did you faked it and went right back to your old self. Why would so many of us bring these things up if we are "lying" as you say we are?

Honestly, you need to be brought up before the rest of the TSPTF because while I am not a high-ranked administrator I do have a voice just like everyone else on this site. You are in complete denial that your attitude has gotten bad and you need to see straightfoward how many people you've upset rather than repeatedly shout they are lying. Arstar 22:13, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

No, it was simply that you decided it had to go, when even I, the person being attacked, didn't care if it existed - and if I had, I'd have deleted it myself. Things like that, by the rule guidelines, only need to be removed if they turn into flame wars, violate NC/NC, or at the request of the person being attacked. Yet, none of that was true here. It's not deflecting, but something that I consider was an error on your part, and rude would be an understatement with regards to it. Not something to argue about, mind. Don't care about it, in the end.

Heh. Should have known you'd give me a response like that. Your edit history is full of such things. Again, as I've said before to you - which you without any cause managed to take offense to then as well - it's not my responsibility to lead you around when I know you're more than smart enough to do it yourself. And, for the record, in nearly all of our disputes, you are the one who escalated things, after taking something I said entirely the wrong way. Quit claiming it has always been me, because that's not in the least bit true.

I don't bully anyone on here, nor am I rude, unless someone decides to take it that way - and I'm sick and tired of people doing that just because I'm a blunt person. You, and Yank, claim I do, but the only people that have ever claimed that I have been, you two aside, complained that I did so because they broke the rules repeatedly, and I called them on it. RWG being an excellent example, as you likely noticed. Only thing I have to say about Arstar is that he's a bit ignorant of things, and lashing out because I caught him in it, more than once.

Far as I'm concerned, almost all of what you're saying applies to me, applies to you. Your attitude has, lately, gotten a touch disturbing, and you need to remember yourself what you're saying to me. Sorry to say it, but it's true.

Apologies for Arstar and Crim feeling a need to post here, and filling up your page, Ben. I freely admit that Crim is right, and that it is not in the least bit proper for us to be doing this. But so long as you keep saying such things, you know full well I won't quit defending myself.

need to get something of my chest
I was made aware that certain people made nasty remaeks about Mitro in other wikis and they signed it with my name both the same user made a post that was sighned with my name and was titled go die we had are differences but I would never write that about him 86.180.251.144 19:20, March 7, 2012 (UTC) (Owen1983)

Australia (1983:Doomsday)
Hey Ben

I'm the editor for Australia in Doomsday. I haven't really touched the Doomsday or post Doomsday parts yet but was merely in the research phase when I spotted a problem. On Monday 26 September 1983, no state parliaments were in session and the federal parliament was on a three week "spring break". Bob Hawke is also proven to have been in Perth CBD on the dawn of 27th September 1983. This potentially means that quite a few MPs would have been killed by Doomsday and possibility higher ranking officials with canon changing consequences. I am going on a holiday very soon and wont be back till 14th April but I plan to do a lot of research on the matter via newspaper archives at my university library.

No Cross, No Crown
Hi, Ben. How do you understand the "No Cross, No Crown" guidelines/policy? I am presently having a disagreement with Ganon on this. SouthWriter 03:59, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

South, despite the page clearly stating that the only thing that the policy does not apply to is articles and timelines, thinks it doesn't apply to blogs. Which is obviously not true. Lordganon 04:11, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Colonize Pangaea
Benkarnell, I am looking for data referring to a map game called Colonize Pangaea. It was founded by LiopleurodonFerox, a user who created a bunch of cool map games before vanishing forever. I discovered one of his or her map games, Texas Map Game, and reincarnated it as Texas Forever! (Map Game). The map games he made are kind of like the Holy Grail for me now, buried in forgotten data for eons, and I am trying to track them down. Particularly Colonize Pangaea, a teriffic idea that never came to pass. I don't even know if a page was made for it before LiopleurodonFerox vanished. I was looking at his or her talk page and disovered that you were threatening to delete some of his or her unused map games. I just want to know, did you delete Colonize Pangaea, if it existed in the first place, and if so is there any way I can retrieve it? I just think that LiopleurodonFerox made some very cool map games which are now buried in secrets, and I want to bring them into the light. I need answers.

Yours truly,

Spelling in this Wiki
Doesn't anyone who contributes to this Wiki know how to spell?

Over 400 misspellings of receive -

Over 200 misspellings of separate -

Looks like I'll never run out of work to do here.

Even among was spelled wrong!

Doing to ACON
What are you doing to do to the Africa Cup of Nations on the Africa Cup of Nations (1983: Doomsday) page. Because you haven't updated on the Qualfying tournaments. Matt121 ??? Matt125 09:48, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Greenland 83DD Review
Hi, I am sending this to all the Brass, active and inactive.

This may be much ado about nothing, but I need your feedback on the most recent Review on the "1983: Doomsday" talk page. Please feel free to check the history to see the original Review, but I need to know what you think. The best place to present that is in the review itself. SouthWriter (talk) 02:51, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

South has decided that the review following the rules wasn't good enough for his liking, so he violated numerous rules at an attempt to make them follow his own version. Don't worry about it, Ben. Lordganon (talk) 05:43, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
