1962 Map Game
If you want to play you must do it plausible, Germany annexing all Europe is IMPLAUSIBLE. VENEZUELA 20:43, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to make it plausible, but every time I try taking it slow, somebody with really crappy grammar and spelling (which really bugs me) starts nuking me and trying to control what I do! CrimsonAssassin 20:53, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

CrimsonAssassin, this is enough. What you're doing is completely IMPOSSIBLE for the reasons I've already stated on the page's talk. Fedelede 21:40, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Look, you don't have to give an entire paragraph of why it's impossible. I was slowing down. All I needed was the heads up!

Sorry about removing your latest post, but Florence is a fortified city you have to lay siege to for at least a year before conquering it. --Emperor of Trebizond 21:36, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Map Game Plausibility
Ireland cannot own the whole Mississippi River. Sorry, but with all due respect other users such as Duchland and Destroy have already claimed parts of the northern river before you wrote that. And Ireland cannot reach the Great Lakes from Texas in two years. Do you realize how many square miles of hostile Native American tribes that is? Not to mention wasteland and empty prairie. It's simply not possible to do in even two years.--Emperor of Trebizond 19:41, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Can I at least have some claims to the Mississippi River? And to the gigantic expansion: Florence did it. CrimsonAssassin 01:11, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sino-Alban War (1452)
﻿Just want to hear your thoughts on the war brewing between the Scots and the Chinese. I understand that while your Ireland is firmly on the side of the Scots, you playing as Japan might pose problems if you decide for them to enter the war on the Scottish side (namely, Japan getting steamrolled by massive Muscovite and Chinese armies). As we are allied (my England and Florence with Japan), I didn't want to jump right in and drag you along with me. I didn't want to post this on the negotiation page as it's more of a private message. Either way, just say what you'd like to do, and we can discuss this.

Thanks,

BoredMatt 20:50, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

'''﻿Thanks for your concern. We've had a rivalry with China for some time now, as the Japanese. The Irish, however, can take them. I've got that colony that can take care of the Mamluks in Africa if they start acting up. I have Pakistan to keep an eye on the Ottomans.'''

Good to know. However, I'm not feeling so cool with us declaring war on the single largest power bloc in the world simply because Scotland refused to give up a tiny dot of land that they took from the Chinese (who were undoubtably the rightful owners, after all). Not that I'm totally opposed to the idea, but it does seems to me that we should sit back for a couple of years after the war begins and see how the wind blows. Once the Easterners are fully committed, then we can attack their weak spots with impunity. Our alliance possesses the the largest navy in the world if you combine the English, Italian, and Japanese fleet. Once the Eastern Alliance's navy is brought into the open and occupied with the Irish, Scottish, and Hapsburg-Commonwealth, then we can raid them all we want. In order to effectively carry out combat in Pakistan, the Muscovites and Chinese would probably send troops over the ocean as opposed to the Himalayas and Central Asia. We could intercept their transport fleet and wreck a good deal of their forces, both maritime and land-based, while using a smaller amount of ships than they. Simply invading them would destroy our armies; they've all got massive amounts of troops. I'm still working on a single unified Asian strategy, but I trust that I can leave the Mamluks to you, as you have a good bit of land and resources invested in Africa. All in all, we can take them IF we don't attack immediately and they need to get their troops out of the country first. I would like to avoid war at all costs, though. BoredMatt 01:12, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the French and I can handle the Mamluks. This time, we need to finish them off. Japan can't handle Muscovy alone, but there are British borders near the Alaskan territory. If we can get the British to invade on one front and the Japanese to invade on the other, they might have a hard time fighting. When Hapsburg joins, they might be able to attack from Europe. Scotland will be attacking China obviously. Florence can back them up. If the Papal States can call a crusade, that's more soldiers on our side. When the Mamluks are gone, the Irish will be tied up in Ottoman territory. But what I'm getting at is we need to hit them hard on multiple fronts!

Good ideas, but France is actually played by the same person as Muscovy :/. BoredMatt 14:19, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Principia Moderni
Hi. It appears as if you signed up as the country China in Principia Moderni. As you may have seen, the game is scheduled to start on 21 January (tomorrow), despite the owner's absence, and progress as he intended it to. You may observe the map has been renovated and the page has been tidied up. Please respond to secure your position as an active player. —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 01:08, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Awesome! Thank's for renovating the map! I can't wait to play! CrimsonAssassin 01:33, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for playing. Since we're pretty close neighbours in-game, I wanted to negotiate what kinds of relations between my country (Hanthawaddy, near OTL Yangon) and yours. I had in my mind a somewhat bitter rivalry, with the cities of Guangzhou, Hong Kong right in the middle. But if you'd rather not, we could fight over Haiphong or Hanoi. Also I was wondering if you had any plans for Tibet, I have considered it as a possible addition to my territory in the near future, perhaps the next century. The thing is since Myanmar has never been a superpower OTL, and it's been overshadowed by its neighbours India and China. Thus I don't really have many places to expand into except those two countries, or take over all of Southeast Asia which is sort of boring and pointless. It's all up to you, though, don't feel pressured in any way. Only Tibet and what's a few miles inward from the Southern Chinese border. Eh? —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 05:54, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

……? —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 21:38, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I was actually hoping for peace. I can give you some things, and I might fund some of your colonies in the future. We could become allies. As for Tibet, I might get to it. For now, I'm getting the Mongolians, so you can get Tibet if you want.

CrimsonAssassin 14:59, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Okay. That should work. I was hoping you would let me take Tibet later in the game. I'm in a Golden Age of peace and prosperity, so I'm booked up until maybe the 1530s. Then I'll need help with war against Toungoo. After that, I will probably expand to the north to Tibet, to the south to Singapore, to the east to Hanoi, and the west to Sri Lanka. At most. —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 16:15, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hey. I was reading a little on Zheng He. In OTL, they had to cut on exploration to defend against the Mongols. Seeing that you've done a ton of outright invasion, is it possible you never sent Zheng He at all? In that case I would be willing to allow him and a few ships to accompany Nai Thiha from Hanthawaddy on his voyages to Africa and other places. However, the catch would probably be that you would secretly help me invade Arakan in 5 years. Acceptable? —Detectivekenny; (info, talk) Preceding text certified by R.

Doomsday
Suggestions for a nation, eh? Where-abouts are you interested in, regionally? I may have an idea on my list, or know of an article up for adoption, if you're interested.

Lordganon 23:28, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I am interested in North Carolina, especially Vance/Granville County since I live there. I'm trying to include southern Granville County in the Kerr Republic. Speaking of which, I would like to know why a nation around Kerr Lake is implausible. The land is really fertile and believe me: Henderson is more than capable of supporting the area as a capital. It is the county seat of Vance County.

I was also hoping to include some other cities in the nation, such as Oxford or Creedmoor, which are in central/south Granville.

~Crim

Remember to sign your posts, Crim. And it's also usually considered good form to reply to messages on your talk page on the other person's.

Have a look at the page, Crim. I never once said that it was implausible for it to exist - you just have to have it in the context already established for the region. It has to be smaller to fit the canon alreadly established. You could probably get away with a small chunk of Granville County as well, but you have to take the context of the North Carolina article - as well as http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/2009_WCRB_report_on_the_southern_United_States_%281983:_Doomsday - into mind.

In South Carolina, you have a small city-state at Georgetown. Everywhere else not part of something already is considered to be gone, largely.

With North Carolina, you've a number of options. Have a look at http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/North_Carolina_%281983:_Doomsday%29#Recently_discovered_survivor_communities for a list. It is considered that the rest of state besides these communities and the survivor nations is gone. I think that Greenville would be a good choice here. (Note that Danville/Martinsville is part of Virginia)

Lordganon 17:52, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Heh. Like I said, its a good start - just remember that it has to be put in the context already existing, which it doesn't do at this point i

n time. Lordganon

British Isles Map Game
Crimson, I was wondering if you would like to join this game I made, set during the late dark ages in Britain and Ireland. Feel free to join, just follow the rules. We'll be starting next Friday.

BoredMatt 17:11, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fun! I'm in!

CrimsonAssassin 21:25, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
I would like to thank you for participating in the first week Principia Moderni (Map Game). It is definitely a milestone for a map game to last for a week, and thanks to your help, it is now a reality. As a token of thanks, I am allowing you to pick out a single colony which you may take, with certain limitations. Here they are:


 * 1) The colony must be within 1,500 miles of your country. This may help.
 * 2) The colony must begin as one to five coastal towns. It may not expand larger than 30 miles long and 5 miles inland until 1500.
 * 3) It may only be in an area labelled as "small states" or unorganized tribes on this map. Small states require four turns or more to conquer, two of which must be solely dedicated to war.
 * 4) You must send exploration before colonizing. The first exploration should be at least three years before first colonization.
 * 5) It is recommended you reserve your colony now to avoid conflicts.
 * 6) Favourable colonies are on strategic waterways.
 * 7) When you colonize depends on the first letter of your country, in order to maintain realism. This means actual colonization or war, exploration is okay outside this time period.  Keep in mind you may always colonize after this time period, but not before:
 * A and B: 1431-1433
 * C and D: 1434-1436
 * E and F: 1437-1439
 * G and H: 1440-1442
 * I and J: 1443-1445
 * K and L: 1446-1448
 * M and N: 1449-1451
 * O and P: 1452-1454
 * Q and R: 1455-1457
 * S and T: 1458-1460
 * U and V: 1461-1463
 * W and X: 1464-1466
 * Y and Z: 1467-1469

Prinicpia Moderni
You as China are expanding way too fast. I suggest you have a consolidation period of several years where you bulk up your navy, claim territory and explore but don't settle it. What do you suggest? PitaKang 19:27, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, you caught me right when I had decided that too. I was just hoping to explore the Pacific or bulk up my military or something. Maybe manage to get in contact with some European nations... CrimsonAssassin 03:04, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

It's going to to like this: Egypt, Syria, Lebanon invade Israel. Later, Algeria, Jordan, Russia (Russia joins last), Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan invades later. Sudan goes through another civil war due to that, from the Muslims in the North and the Christians from the south. After that, its:

Russia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan (Possibly China) vs US, NATO, and other nations like South Korea, etc. After that, IDK. PitaKang 23:54, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Just a little interjection, but Russia hates China more than they hate the US. I reallyreallyreally doubt they'd be on the same side. Also, Iran and the Arab countries hate each other, they would never team up unless their one and only objective was to destroy Israel. Jordan's government is very pro-West, as are their people. The UAE and anybody on the Persian Gulf would get hit really bad because the most secure naval base in the world is a US Navy base in Bahrain; they have more cruise missiles (and anti-missile missiles) than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention that Israel has over 100 estimated nuclear warheads, with missiles capable of hitting as far as Pakistan and southern Russia. BoredMatt 00:02, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Israel has somewhere between 250~300 warheads, and can reach virtually all points on the earth. But anyways, yes, their one goal was to destroy Israel! Even though the Arab-Persian emnity goes for hundreds of years, I belive that faced with the one goal of destroying Israel, or "Driving them into the sea," I think they could unite and invade. Also, during the 6 day war, Egypt told Jordan they were winning, and Jordan actually invaded. Plus, I don't know if you are a Christian, but I am taking this from Ezekiel 38, the "War of Gog and Magog". I am not going to recreate that scenario, (Sulfur and brimstone raining down), but I am simply taking the same nations, etc. PitaKang 00:09, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Plus, China, I'm Thinking we might have a 3-way going here, with the Arab-Persian-Russian coalition + maybe Pakistan, the Chinese and North Koreans, maybe India (I'm thinking of a war between India and Pakistan), and obviously the US and NATO. PitaKang 00:16, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

1000Monkeys
Certainly your nomination to be a constable in the TSPTF has raised some doubts about your trustworthiness. While there is no hard evidence that 1000Monkeys is your sockpuppet, the circumstances are just to suspicious to be simply explained away by your denial. We can accept the fact that it was probably not a good idea to have your brother nominate you after a month abscence from editing.

However, I feel it is my duty to the wiki as an admin to bring this matter to a speedy resolution. If 1000Monkeys is your sockpuppet and you admit to it now, I will not block you, but I will block that account and remove your current nomination to the TSPTF. If you deny it again I will do nothing and your nomination will likely be defeated due to lack of support. But if I find any evidence later of sockpuppeting, you will be banned permanently.

Of course, this could all be a misunderstanding that was brought on by a lack of common sense on your part. If that is the case, well it is to late now to change people's opinion. Next time try to avoid conflicts of interest like this again. Mitro 13:37, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

I understand. With regret, I will say that 1000Monkeys was once a sockpuppet account, when I first created it. However, I soon discovered that sockpuppeting is a bannable offense and quickly handed it over to my brother, who was thinking of making an account here anyway. Today, 1000Monkeys is my brother's account and it is not a sockpuppet account. I hope this can be brushed under the carpet and I apologize for any inconvinience either of us has caused you. I hope everyone can believe me and trust me again.

I do not use 1000Monkey's account anymore, I swear to you. I feel like I'm doing a disservice to him by telling people he is in possession of a sockpuppet account. If anyone should be punished for sockpuppeting, it should be me. The original intent was an alternate account, but like I said, I gave it to my brother. Just don't ban him.

CrimsonAssassin 18:19, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well Crimson, I am glad you came clean with me. Sadly I will still block the 1000Monkeys account and remove your nomination. I do this because I still have no proof that it is actually your brother on that account. The fact that you admitted to using it as a sockpuppet account is enough to shed doubt about your good faith. I still only have your word that it is your brother and you already proven by your confession that your word is not trustworthy. Since I cannot fly down to North Carolina and meet you and your brother personally, I have no other choice but to carry out my original ultimatum. Tell your brother sorry, but he can go and create a new account if he still wishes to edit this wiki. Know this though: I will be watching both you and any new account your brother creates very closely for now on. Mitro 18:46, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well I am sorry it came to this, but I hope I can prove my trustworthiness in time.
