The biggest difference between the first two edit's and the final edit is this:

" If you do not, the vote will be put in Bold/italics, and no longer counted, until a reason is given." (The bold is added for effect).

Sincerly,

Did I ever say you were cheating? ^ Look up there. All I did, was state that you we're the person to overrule every single person and make up your own rule to apply to everyone without a single person's consent except your own. I never called it cheating. I never said you did it for your sole benefit. And also, please, do not make rules, that, as you've said, "Not part of the vote".

Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk)

I'm so sorry man but I only have like two mins. What's this about if I may ask? :L Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:36, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

I'll try to get on chat today but I know what it's about. I'll need to talk to you about other things too. ;)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 10:46, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

Common errors
These aren't necessarily yours:

2 M's in coming and becoming.

"a lot" written as one word (alot). I see that a lot.

recieve, (decieve, concieve) instead of receive, et al. I before E except after C (although there are exceptions such as weird.)

I think most folks know how to spell infrastructure by now :)

Decimal fractions (.05, etc) should have a leading zero 0.05.

Numbers from zero to ten should be spelled out - instead of 0 to 10. ten million instead of 10 million, etc.

Occasionally I will see "phew" instead of "few".

"sqkm" instead of my preference "sq km". Most folks spell it my way now.

Numbers from 1000 to 9999 should be spelled without commas.

Seperate instead of separate. There's A RAT in separate.

Many times I may just type Sp for spelling errors.

I'm like the English professor in the men's room.

I don't write on the walls, I just correct the spelling and grammar.

EoGuy (talk) 22:41, December 27, 2013 (UTC)

Other common errors
"There" instead of "their" or "they're"

"Your" instead of "you're"

"It's" instead of "its". "It's" with the apostrophe is ONLY the abbreviation for "it is".

"An" in front of consonants. "A" in front of vowels. Both cases are incorrect. Exception: "an historic" and "a union", etc. If the vowel sounds like a consonant - one, once, "a" is correct. "a once-in-a-lifetime", for example.

If the following word is an abbreviation such as FBI agent, "an FBI agent" is correct because the F sounds like ef. Same for "an SASE" ( but "a" self-addressed stamped envelope).

More than you EVER wanted to know :)

Sure man. As soon as I can get to a computer lol. :)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 07:37, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

PMIII
Hey LMB, I saw that you have chosen a Australian Aborigine tribe to play as in PMIII. I don't know if you are aware, but to date I am the only player to play as the Australian Aborigines in the PM series, with what I would describe as decent, albeit short lived, success. So I thought I would give you a helping hand setting up. Here is a tribal map of all the Australian Aborigine tribes in Australia:. If I had the chance again, I would choose to play as the Pitjantjatjara (Anangu) tribe in the center of Australia, who have control of the sacred site of Uluru. This would be for two reasons, firstly, they have pretty much the entire internal area of Australia to expand into, and secondly, as they are in the center of the continent, no-one will be able to attack you for quite a large period of time. Just my suggestion. I would also like to say that when our two tribes meet up, I hope we can be allies. Hailstormer (talk) 13:52, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

I like the steps, but there are some key issues.

1. Founding a city wouldn't be possible, as it would be a massive transition away from traditional Aborigine life. However, you could set up a township, by saying that a number of Aborigines decide to give up the nomadic way of life and focus on working the surrounding land. This in turn, could eventually expand into a city as your tribe grows, but it will be a slow process.

2. No problems with this step, but you will have to reach a major river system to do it if you plan on using the tribe I suggested, or any desert tribe for that matter. You have two major choices, going up towards the OTL Lake Argyle river system which will take you to the northern coast, or going towards the OTL Lake MacLeod river system which will take you to the western coast. If it was me I would pick west, as there are a lot more natural resources that way.

3. This step again, is easy. But it will have to be me who instigates contact, as the Aborigines have no seafaring watercraft, with the only watercraft they have being able to navigate rivers. But I plan to reach you in the first few decades so I wouldn't worry about it.

4. I wouldn't do this step. As introducing invasive species, even useful ones, can have unintended consequences. Instead, I would suggest you focus on using the species already available to you in mass hunts.

I assume contact between me and you would be setting up of trade routes and an alliance? Also can you come on chat at the moment? Hailstormer (talk) 14:35, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Good on you for signing up as an Aboriginal group. The mods are going to be watching that continent like a hawk and the Aborigines will be heavily regulated, but hopefully you will also get some mod event guidance. Take it SLOW with your development, this is a marathon, not a sprint, and since you are isolated you don't have a outside sources of tech. There will be big consequences if you expand and militarize too fast, but if you take your development seriously and plausibly, you might even get some outside help. I've also played a successful game from a tribal start (the Selk'nam in PM2) and will be playing tribal again for PM3 (the Nivkhs of Siberia). I take a great interest in Australia's development, as do several other mods, but if you do it right in the early centuries, you will get a big payoff later. Also don't hesitate if you need any help with Australian Aboriginal history and geography. Hail has played as the Aborigines before, but also remember that Callum and Scan are Aussies - and I have a backround in Australian issues as well.

Hail is right that you should start inland - but not too far inland as you will eventually need to reach the coast to survive. Also, placing yourself in the central desert is not optimum for your development as an agricultural society - agriculture other than cattle is near non-existant there even today. If it were me, I would think about locating in Southeast Australia where things are a little greener and the climate is more suited to agriculture. Either that, or if you want a ranch-based society, you could locate somewhere like the Kimberley region, where you have grassland and increasing agriculture in around the Ord River. Sadly, the only real reason we associate the Aborigines with the Central Desert is the that colonists found the area industrially useless and hence lacked a need to displace the original population. Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:01, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Well Hail is good at this stuff - but if it were me I'd go a for greener pastures, literallly. I know Callum mentioned the Eora people around modern Sydney. If if were me, I'd think about grabbing some good agricultural land somewher inland in the Murray-Darling Basin ( which is a big agricultural area today). I'm a lot better with modern Aussie history than Aboriginal, but looking at maps I would think myabe the Yorta Yorta or. But there are a ton of options - and at the end of the day I would say do what makes you feel good. If I were playing as an Aboriginal group myself it would probably be the Tiwi, who aren't a group I would list as a "good strategic pick" at all...so do what makes your feel good.

Humanity Reborn
Sure, go ahead and redo the backstory, but remember to keep it essentially the same with the Reich falling first. Yawgmoth, Lord of the Wastes

PMIII Ireland
For now, I am not ready for an alliance, as that will eventually drag me into wars early on with places outside Ireland. I am only interested in Ireland right now, as it's fairly isolated and consolidation of the minor states to eventually engage in wars and colonization efforts outside Ireland. If, however, you are willling to put up with staying in Ireland for a bit, I'd be happy for an alliance. Yawgmoth, Lord of the Wastes

Sure, I'll cooperate with you. We need to find where we will split Ireland? Yawgmoth, Lord of the Wastes

Re:Ahem
TGA. That is the answer. Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:28, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

I mentioned I would help in unifying Ireland. I did not say anything about Scotland. The player of Scotland and I have come to an agreement, we will diplomatically unify England and Scotland. In the case of Ireland, my only request was I'd help the unification of Ireland in exchange Ireland would join the Kingdom of Great Albion you would remain independent of course, it's like how Callum and I ran Germany, one nation but with sphere are nations, also like the modern UK. Which is comprised of three nations, all of the independent but forming a greater nation. You needn't worry about me taking power from you, you can still do as you please and whatnot.

About The Turns
I am not removing the turns every time I post on PM3 I get an edit conflict. So I do not know what to do then, besides going back to the page were I edit my post and reposting it. - Shadow

I have seen a chat and have seen that you have called me  shitwit and I shouted at you. Look, I have never shouted at you for no reason. I shout at people for reasons. And good reasons. Plus I don't even remember. If you were really pissed, I am sorry. But you could have told me eariler.

Invitation.
This is a formal invitation for you, sir/madam to come join Look Out, Sir! (Map Game) ! It is a WW2 alternate history map game, set in the year 1943. The rule system is set after Principia Moderni III (Map Game) and some other major map games. The battle algorithm is a modified version of the one used by The War That Came Early (Map Game) . We have a lot of room and I am hoping to make this into another one of those successful map games. So if you could come on down and pick a nation to rule and see what happens, that would be much appreciated. - Sincerely, Blocky858 (talk) and the rest of the LOS staff,

I think it's open to use, so MS likely won't care. Hell, you could probably send him a message and he'd make it for you. Either way crediting him for the base will go a long way. NonEuclidean ツ (Talk)

I, as Siam, want to buy Laos, which you, as France, control. Will you sell it? (I'd also like to buy a corridor to get a border with China, if possible).Krasnoyarsk (talk) 21:09, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

I'll give you 10 million (1 billion 80 million in today's money) with another 5 million (nine hundred million today) for the Chinese corridor. The total GDP of French Indochina at the time was about half a million, and Laos accounted for very little of that, so that seems a reasonable price. Krasnoyarsk (talk) 22:13, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
