Chilean occupation of Araucania
Chile attack on Araucania and Patagonia. I though they would stop after the recovered Araucania, but if you say they continue in Argentine territories (aka Patagonia), I'm not gonna say the contrary. Zamarak500 (talk) 21:12, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Ottoman Invasion of Macedonia
My nation is invading the Ottoman Empire at the moment. I've sent approx 100,000 men to defeat the nation once and for all! [[User:Awesome history 28]|Awesome history 28]

Toucouleur empire Invasion of Massina
The Toucouleur empire is invading Massina and sent 10,000 experienced and 10,000 inexperienced troops in a surprise jihad against them. Thisismacedon (talk) 14:06, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Russian Conquest of Kokand
The Russian Empire (with an army of 800,000, probably about 200,000 involved) is invading Kokand in a surprise attack. The motivation is to promote our hegemony, and it began in 1861.5. In my turn, I assumed the Kokandi forces fled to their capital city and we are currently beseiging said city. Edit count found on User Page. 23:42, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

 * Plausibility moderator
 * I would like to become a moderator for Emancipation because I believe I will be able to assist in the creation of moderator events, the enforcement of plausibility and the creation of maps. I strongly believe that I possess the abilities to thoroughly research for events and to determine the plausibility of players' actions, and am able to create a positive and workable environment in which players can participate in this game.

After careful consideration, I have unfortunately chosen to reject your application. I apologise, and hope that my decision will not retract from your enthusiasm. Please keep in mind that you may reapply in the future if you so wish. Thank you for applying, and I hope to see you in-game! —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 06:52, March 15, 2016 (UTC)

 * Event/Plausibility moderator
 * I want to become a moderator for this map game to be able to create mod events and enforce strict plausibility. I think that can research for events and determine the plausibility of players' actions, and to assist at the creation of a good environment in which players can play in this game. While i also believe that mods should not be able to mod their nation's areas of interest/influence, like other games i have participated in.

 * Technology/Plausibility Moderator
 * I would honestly like to be Technology/Plausibility moderator to enforce strict plausibility not just in the game's events or in the ability of the playes to influence events in history but also technological progress. My scientific expertise and my knowledge of technological innovations can help with this (despite the failed technology-related timelines). Great. >:( Oh well. That aside, I wanted to actually do this because I want to be dedicated to something that is not in my own works. And for once, actually do something interesting. :P

 * I am a relatively plausible player, and I am active on the wiki and in various map games, and am also on the map game committee. I believe I have the capability to make unbiased mod events that will help move the game forward and make it enjoyable, and I known I have the time to do the algos (at least mostly). Anyway, I hope I will be able to join the mod team for this great game.

 * Im pretty active on the wiki and I've had loads of experience with other map games (founded Battle of Britain and Ancharist America and moderated Atomic World, A Brand New World, The Global War Rebooted, The Imperial Wars II and many more, if you want you could look through my edits to see what I've done). I will try and be the best moderator I can and try my best to be unbiased. PS: I can't be a moderator from the 6th April to the 17th April because I'm going on holiday and I won't have much time.

Accepted! We could use an objective non-player observer mod. Welcome to the team. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 02:46, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

 * Plausibility moderator
 * I follow very closely with map games and have had experience modding a rather popular game a few months ago. I like this map game very much, and want to see it improve over time. That being said, I see places that are majorly in need of an objective observance. Also, this mod team needs to get on the ball with algorithms, etc. I will not be playing in the game, but will act as an objective observor.

Map Issues
We still need to identify most of the Pacific Islands, and make sense of India/Central Asia. Other than that, the map is pretty well situated for the start of the game, with ANUCS coloring throughout. We will need to color in some nations (esp. in Latin America) as players begin to join. 23:38, March 12, 2016 (UTC)

Signups cannot be open due to the fact that this game is not approved. OCT MARIUS, Hail Marius

Ohh, I see. Okay, sorry. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 23:32, March 14, 2016 (UTC)

Official sign-ups are hereby resumed. Enjoy. 05:31, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who's signed up so far, applied for moderator positions and/or otherwise rendered your support for this game. I've put a lot of effort into this, and I'd also like to thank the Map Game Oversight Committee for approving this game and allowing it to proceed. I promise that this game will be of top-notch quality and that I will do my best to ensure it runs its full course. Once again, thank you for your support, and I hope to see you all playing when the game launches on March 24! —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 15:19, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

Some issues
Upon looking over the page I decided I'd give you some advice on both the modslist as well as the nations.

First of all, the modslist is weird honestly. Ace, Oct and AH aren't worthy enough of being mods. Fires and Rex are rightfully there. I'd look for people as Scraw or Sky to be mods.

Now, the nations lsit is another big concern. Primarily, Eric being the United States(THIS MAY BE FIXED AFTER POSTED). You may not know Eric, but if you ask around of look into it yourself you'll find that he's just blatantly incompetent. If you let him be the US, the game will die. Another mistake is Spar as China(IMO). A less clear one is Ace, who I'd doubt but might be good enough.

If I were you, my main focuses would be improving your modslist, taking playaers like Eric and Spar away from big nations and attract more reasonable/big players.

Hail Sean! (Get a free potato here) 20:20, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

...really? Really? Also, Sean, you really have screwed me over for the last time. KingSparta300 (talk) 00:47, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

Spar, I was polite to you when informing you, and I expect you to be polite on this talk page and/or in-game. I will not tolerate rude behaviour on this talk page. Mutual respect is the watchword here. Do not overstep, Spar — I do not have unlimited patience. This is your first and final warning. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 00:56, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Sean, nor Eric neither Spar are worthy of playing superpowers, that will define our map game for years to come. Wrto12 (talk) 20:02, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

I hate complaining but the time has come. I can slightly understand why Britian would intervene in the American Civil War, Pourtugal I can understand due to them being a British ally, Austria, I can sort of cope with that. But Denmark? Forgive me if I am wrong but Danish-American real options were OK in that time and wasn't Denmark the first country to end slavery why would they then support a state who's purpose is to have slaves. Please correct me if I have made any mistakes. Regards TheGreatHistorian500 (talk) 22:57, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

America
Hey. I've noticed no-one is playing as the USA so may I be that player? I do not have 1000 edits but I promise to be plausible. So may I? TheGreatHistorian500 (talk) 21:48, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

For reference, he's been approved but is on probation: one plausibility strike will result in his being removed from the United States. 01:42, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Algo Request
Seeing as there have been no war algorithms created, I have taken it upon myself to calculate my war algo on my own. I'll try my best to follow the algo, and please notify me of any mistakes.
