USSR's map
Hey LG, I'd like to ask for a favour, if that is ok with you. I was wondering if you would be willing to create a new map for Siberia after the new expansion takes place and is finished somewhere between early May-late June. I'm still sort of leaning towards a push in the direction of the north, but I was hoping to do one towards the south, around five to six months after the one in the north. I decided on this after I looked at Kazakhstan more thoroughly and realized that the USSR didn't have to a large area of Kazakhstan to reach Aralia, only around half of Aktobe and a large part of Kostanay, which would benefit them if wheat could still be grown there.

In any case, let me know if your up for it.--Vladivostok 17:30, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, well, lets look over what I had in mind then. I was thinking of them controling that small part of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug they aren't already. I was thinking they would expand slightly in Komi, so they would control about half of it. The Arkhangelsk oblast would then take up the majority of the expansion, around 3/4 of it within control. The whole SK annexation happens as planned of course. However, I wasn't sure about Murmansk Oblast. It is fairly empty, other than the Sapmi state, and they aren't really that friendly with the NU. Possible occupation?

Oh, and it would be great if the USSR map would have the various territories and republics highlighted, like the current one has. Once again, thanks for doing this, the current map is getting a bit grainy, lol.--Vladivostok 09:37, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Well ok then, that is a bit disappointing, as one of the other reasons to enter the region was a port in Murmansk to give them some access to the Atlantic again. Although a port in Arkhangelsk or former SK would probably work just as well. My plan for announcing this was as follows: I'd announce today that the forces amassing on the USSR's western borders were indeed sent out to grab land and to formally annex SK.

Then, I'd also write that the start of this move would take place on the 5th of May as well. You don't have to finish the map by then, there is no rush, as it would take some time (a month, probably more) to acquire the land and secure it. The name I was thinking of would be something like the Northwestern Territory, but I'm open to suggestions.--Vladivostok 10:06, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

I have just now realized I accidentally reverted one of your edits to the Doomsday page. Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just checking some of the edits on a mobile device and clicked revert by mistake. I welcome the edits and making the list more complete for the USSR.--Vladivostok 17:28, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Military Alliance to be announced?
I remember you saying that the military alliance between Chumash and Visaili would be announced today October 1, so I was wondering if we were still going along with that or if it was to be put on hold or what? Yes I did read the post on the WCRB news page about Visaili and the Chumash ambassador visiting. Just get back to me when you can about military operations against Ventura and Santa Cruz (I know you said Ventura specifically but Santa Cruz is still a threat, and going down the 101 is pretty much a straight shot into the central coast, also I don't know where you got "mountains between Chumash and Bakersfield" remember I live here and its pretty much a 2 and a half hour drive into Kern and a 3 hour drive into Bakersfield with only a few small hills along the way). Anyways best of luck. Riley.Konner 10:10, October 1, 2011 (UTC) EDIT reversion:Sorry I just noticed that know were in that discussion did you mention any "mountains" that's my mistake and it will never happen again. Riley.Konner 10:33, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've seen what has been posted, and thank you for updating the Chumash page. In addition to the highways mentioned, Chumash can also send a few Bradley tanks to Visali via highway 46 (though that highway is a death trap lol) and 41. Bombing also sounds good, and naval bombardments from Chumash. I'm thinking a battle between the CRS Santa Barbara and a Venturan ship being called a modern battle between the USS Constitution and the HMS Guerriere. Also I'm working on a WCRB post that is a response given by Vilodari Scholairi and his vows to crush both the countries. Also I thought of a name for the Visali-Chumash alliance I'm thinking Organized States of California or the OSC. As for Mozambique that is at the bottom of my to do list, I'll see what happens in a couple of months. Riley.Konner 12:24, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Siberian expansion and the areas around Novgorod, Sapmi and Finland
Hey Ganon, I'd like to propose something regarding the territory the SIberian expansion would cover.

Now, based on the map of the NU, could the Siberians take what is left of Karelia and the area between Novgorod and the NU? This would cause tension and I was thinking of adding a bit about some skirmishes or incidents happening while Northern Hammer took place. Nothing serious but I mean, why hype the return of the USSR into this area if there isn't going to be any tension. Let me know what you think and feel free to say where the borders could start between these countries.Vladivostok 18:08, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Yes it is true I haven't been as active as I should have been, sorry about that. In any case, it is a shame that Novgorod controls that area, I was hoping the Siberians would be the ones to acquire the ruins of Leningrad, oh well.

But I was hoping for the annexation of the Kola peninsula, I wanted to have a sort of Berlin airlift event in which the Siberians try and cut off Sampi, only to have the NU basically make their efforts worthless with air support.

I didn't think it was a stretch because the troops that would occupy the area would be from Soviet Karelia, not the principal forces of the USSR.--Vladivostok 11:03, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Well, after taking a look at the geography of Kola, I see you're right, a lot of mountain ranges are on the peninsula. But they are in the west and north part of the peninsula, the south-east is mostly flat areas. Now, it is true that these areas are difficult to reach, especially because other that some smaller cities on the coast, there aren't any roads. However, they don't actually have to physically patrol the area just yet to stake their claim.

Now of course air support would be scarse at best in the first expansion, but having just a couple of planes patrol the air space in this area would come a long way in discouraging any other group from trying to take that said area.

Now I also just wanted to bring up the new map for the USSR and the area in general. As far as the rest of the expansion, are we on the same page? So, I believe we said when we originally discussed this ages ago that they would take most of Arkhangels oblast, half of the Republic of Komi and Soviet Karelia.Vladivostok 10:43, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Qu'il Tous
So I think for our next step for Qu'il Tous, its time to start getting into some of the more political details of America and France, mostly by created an article for the Prime Ministers of France, Speaker of the House, somethings for the Senate of the US, and maybe a list of British Prime Ministers.

Re: Post-War Balkans
Hey, LG, I really like the maps, they really came out well. My only concern is the extent to which Bosnia has expanded, it appears as though they seemed to draw into a lot of Serbia land, which I didn't expect. Of course I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it may just be that I don't like the irregular shape. Anyway, now that the war part is over, I will get around to writing in about it on the Macedonia page. If there's anything left to do just message me.

Alternate Location for the Protestant Reformation
Would it be plausible for the Protestant Reformation to begin anywhere other than Northern Germany and Switzerland? This is for PMII, and the nations I was wondering about were Are any of these locations plausible? I know that this event would be 50 years away or more in-game, but I am assuming that it would be unlikely for the political landscape in Europe to change drastically during that time to be significantly different from OTL (other than perhaps a Scottish presence on Ireland, a less unified France, or the Ottomans having conquered less of the Balkans than in OTL) LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:08, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hungary
 * Bohemia (perhaps as a revival of Hussitism)
 * The Dutch/Frisian areas
 * (probably northern) France
 * England
 * Scotland
 * Ireland
 * Anywhere on the Balkan side of the Adriatic coast

In the game, currently, I am seeing the most likely cause for the beginning to be a rejection of the massive church taxes. Considering that the Papal states in this game have actually gone to war with another nation, I imagine that they are going to need a much greater source of money. Thus, the idea of a monarch refusing to fund the war seems to be likely. I'll be able to give a better picture in a couple weeks though. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:59, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

OK: here's the situation: It is 1466, and Scotland is invading Ireland. The English, who want Ireland all to themselves, bring up an ancient old Papal bull and say they have the sole rights to invade Ireland to crush some heretics there. This convinces the Pope to start sending supplies to those heretics to help them resist the invasion of the Scottish. Would Scotland breaking away from the Catholic Church in response to this hypocritical action of the Pope be realistic at this time? LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:16, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

A Soviet Axis
I have another idea about a Soviet Axis. I did a bit of research, and it seems that most of Hitler’s generals wanted to go through N. Belgium, not the Ardennes. What if Hitler listened to those generals and went that way? They would meet high numbers of Allied troops, and could potentially cause a stalemate. Additional troops would pour in from other parts of France and UK, and we could have another WW1 type situation in Belgium or River Somme. Could you check the Timeline again? Thanks. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 20:52, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Also, is an invasion of Switzerland really not going to happen? I found this on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tannenbaum

PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 21:39, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I suppose that's not plausible. But I saw that Belgian intelligence had figured out Germany would attack through the Ardennes region, and would use paratroopers to go behind the lines. But the Allies didn't listen. What if they had listened?

"In the winter of 1939–1940, the Belgian consul-general in Cologne had anticipated the angle of advance that Von Manstein was planning. Through intelligence reports, they deduced that German forces were concentrating along the Belgian and Luxembourg frontiers. The Belgians were convinced that the Germans would thrust through the Ardennes and to the English Channel with the aim of cutting off the Allied field Armies in Belgium and north-eastern France. They also anticipated that the Germans would try to land airborne and glider forces behind the Allied lines to break open Belgian fortifications. Such warnings were not heeded by the French, or British."

"On March 1940, Swiss intelligence detected six or seven Panzer Divisions on the German-Luxembourg-Belgian border. More motorized divisions had also been detected in the area. French intelligence were informed that the Germans were constructing pontoon bridges partially—about halfway—over the Our River on the Luxembourg-German border[citation needed] through aerial reconnaissance. The French military attaché in the Swiss capital—Berne—warned that the centre of the German assault would come on the Meuse at Sedan, sometime between 8 and 10 May. The report was dated 30 April. These reports had little effect on Gamelin."

Also, the reason the BEF/French forces were forced to evacuate at Dunkirk was because they were surrounded and cut off after German forces invaded France. If Allied forces hadn't rushed into Belgium, couldn't they have slowed down the German invasion?

Thanks. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:48, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Also, and yet, Wikipedia says otherwise. It says Manstein’s plan “provoked a storm of protest from the majority of German generals.” (Battle of France, “Adoption of Manstein’s Plan”). Even though Hitler liked his idea, if Manstein had never come to Hitler’s attention, the attack would have gone into Belgium. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 22:41, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Alright then, if Chamberlain had not appeased Hitler, and stood up to him, could the war have been delayed for another 5-6 months? If then, the entire invasion of France/the Low Countries could have bogged down. Thoughts? PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 00:31, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Then if the war started in Czechoslovakia, how would the war have gone? There is, obviously, no way for Britain or France to help. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:46, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Also, if Operation Pike had been moved up before the invasion of the Soviet Union, could that have led to war between the USSR and the Allies, thus leading them making an unholy alliance with the Germans? Thanks. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:07, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Oh. That's true. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 22:48, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Then is there any way the invasion of Poland or Germany could have been postponed one year, leading to OP? PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 22:49, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I suppose conflict between Germany and the USSR is inevitable? I think there might be other ways out there, but in case there is really 0 percent probability, what would you say is the best name for the TL? Assuming, of course, that we are going under "no appeasement". PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 22:56, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm. Any ideas on that? PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 23:19, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Dammit I was going to rename it Fall Grün... until I realized there was already a featured TL with that same name. Grr. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:19, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

For the name, how about “Chamberlain Grows a Backbone”? Lol. But more seriously, how about Munich Agreement Failure? Although I like “A Soviet Axis” better :( PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 20:12, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Or maybe even Case Green, although that is kind of a “copy” of Fall Grün. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 20:13, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe Chamberlain receives false information that the Germans are under prepared and will not invade Czechoslovakia, and thus gains the courage to stand up to Hitler. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 21:01, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Is this a good PoD?
 * In 1937, fearing Nazi aggression, the British Secret Intelligence Service managed to recruit an agent in the Nazi Party, who was only known as his code name SONGBIRD. He was a personal aide of Albert Speer. SONGBIRD gave highly accurate information regarding the Nazis and their logistical capabilities, as well as their current stocks of food, weapons, and other supplies. However, in 1938, he sent false information regarding current weapon stocks, which lead to Neville Chamberlain believing that the Wehrmacht is not ready to invade Czechoslovakia in 1938, and will stand down. Due to these, he does not choose the policy of appeasing Hitler, and instead commits British support in case of a German invasion of Czechoslovakia. Hitler invades anyway, and the German army becomes bogged down in Czechoslovakia.

PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:57, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

How about this revised PoD: PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 21:02, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * In 1932, Hans Oster, an officer of the German Army, does not get into trouble and is not forced to resign. Due to this, he rises and eventually ends up on General Staff prior to the German takeover of Czechoslovakia. After hearing Hitler's plans, Oster went to the British, where he volunteered to be a spy. He was soon code-named SONGBIRD. Oster gave highly accurate information regarding the Nazis and their logistical capabilities, as well as their current stocks of food, weapons and other supplies. However, just before the Munich Agreement in 1938, he accidentally sent false information regarding current weapon stocks, which led Neville Chamberlain to believe that the Wehrmacht is not ready to invade Czechoslovakia in 1938, and would stand down. Due to these, he does not choose the policy of appeasing Hitler, and instead commits British support in case of a German invasion of Czechoslovakia. Hitler invades anyway, and the German army becomes bogged down in Czechoslovakia.

Which is why I chose Oster. In fact, he actually apparently told his friend in the Netherlands when the invasion date of the Low Countries would be, hoping they could delay the Germans. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 21:20, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

'Nother revised Pod? PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 23:43, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * In 1932, Hans Oster, an officer of the German Army, does not get into an affair with his commanding officer’s wife and is not forced to resign. Due to this, he rises and eventually ends up on General Staff prior to the German takeover of Czechoslovakia. In 1938, during Krystalnacht, his 17 year old daughter Barbara was raped and murdered by drunken Nazis. He became furious at the Nazis-however, in order to keep his life, he kept that a secret. Later that year, after hearing Hitler's plans, Oster went to the British, where he volunteered to be a spy. He was soon code-named SONGBIRD. Oster gave highly accurate information regarding the Nazis and their logistical capabilities, as well as their current stocks of food, weapons and other supplies. However, just before the Munich Agreement in 1938, he accidentally sent false information regarding current weapon stocks, which led Neville Chamberlain to believe that the Wehrmacht is not ready to invade Czechoslovakia in 1938, and would stand down. Due to these, he does not choose the policy of appeasing Hitler, and instead commits British support in case of a German invasion of Czechoslovakia. Hitler invades anyway, and the German army becomes bogged down in Czechoslovakia.

If he had not ended up on the General Staff, would he still have been able to get that information? Thanks. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 18:57, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Also, he had a daughter Barbara who would have been 17 during Krystalnacht. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 18:58, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Anyhow, I have a finalized PoD, how is it? PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:44, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

I have another revised PoD, will you look at it? Thanks. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 20:16, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, revised PoD and revised name at: Hans Oster, the Good Nazi. PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 23:30, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Fack! Any suggestions to the name? PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) 19:52, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Greenland (1983:DD)
I must admit that I have been out of the loop much of the summer. To top it off, I don't seem to get email alerts when the main talk page of 1983:DD is altered. My mind being elsewhere, I don't think to check there or even wiki-wide posts for that matter.

I say this to perhaps remove the suspicion you might have for my recent reversion of the Greenland stub back to fx's work which you put up for review and then changed after the review was "over." It is not that your arguments were unsound, but rather because you do not seem to have contacted fxgentleman during the review period. If you wish to put the article back under review after notification, I support that move, but I respectfully ask that you do not get into an editing war over this. SouthWriter (talk) 20:52, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

I honestly do not believe you read your talk page, Ganon. Otherwise, your reaction to the revert is explicable. Of course it was a "Community Review," but with no input from the caretaker of the article at all. It is somewhat suspicious that you chose a period when fx is not active to pick on a stub -- not even a full fledged page -- that he had produced and had accepted. Common courtesy would call for at least some feed back from him. I am in a hard place here, Ganon, since it seems only you and I are active in the top tier -- you a lot more than me. I have no choice but to sometimes contradict you. As I point out above, I see no problem in you changing things. It is the way you change things that is a problem. I cannot change you, so I must at times stand against you. --SouthWriter (talk) 04:34, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

3) What if Julius Caesar had never been born?

4) What if St.Paul had gone on mission trips to the East intstead of to the West for whatever reason (God, fear of death, etc.) and St.Thomas had preached to the West?

Re:RA Notes
Greetings. Speak of the Devil, I was hoping to get your opinion here, and you beat me to it. Glad you like it, and glad it all came out right. If at all possible, I just wanted to clarify an idea I thought of after reading your comments. What of a 1905-like revolution taking place later on (prior to WWI), and allowing the timeline to sync with 1917 and so on. But I am pretty sure this won't work, so ignore me if it is a bad idea.

I will have to do more reading about the revolution and the civil war, but how different do you mean? Bloodier and longer... would this have any affect towards the formation of the USSR (or even a similar outcome)?

I wasn't aware that the Five Races flag was unpopular (would explain why it isn't used today). But, I don't see any other choice, and I personally like the design (original, identifiable, and simple). My argument would compare this to how Germans weren't too fond of the black-red-gold tricolor, but after Nazi rule (and the Allies doing what they wanted), the tricolor remained. I would see this being the same, especially since Japan would help reestablish a monarchy in China after WWII, and not for the fact that this flag was used multiple times by the Japanese OTL (just look at the flags for and the ).

As for Afghanistan and Persia, no need to worry. I already looked into them and agree that there would be no difference.

Thank you again. Glad you like the idea. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 22:47, October 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your input. I believe I can work from here. It also may work out for how I have envisioned Alaska being a "White haven," but I need to work on it.


 * I am rather upset that this flag was actually hated (it was quite clever IMHO). But since I see being appointed Emperor, I guess using the Qing flag isn't a bad idea. It would also make sense why EVERYBODY uses it, lol.


 * Also, because I noticed you added a new category, how is Valkyrie Rides biased? (or ASB for that matter?) I didn't see anything wrong with it? --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 15:00, October 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * I just thought of something that I would love to get your two cents on. What if Alexander II wasn't assassinated? Russia would have transformed into a (somewhat) constitutional monarchy. I was thinking this could lead to a 1905-like reform, and allowing the revolutions and civil war to be (more or less) the same. What do you think? --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:45, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

1983: Doomsday
I couldn't find my original message, so I've restarted it.

Do you know of any improtant post-doomsday cities that aren't claimed yet (worldwide?)

In North America, I'd prefer a central-eastern region, somewhere where's there's room to thrive.

I don't suppose any Pacific or Caribbean islands are available?

Anywhere in the former Congo?

Oh, and by the way, you might want to rename Nanchung to Nanchang and relocate it south of the Dragon State, or whoever made the latest map.

Canuck2012 (talk) 01:48, October 10, 2012 (UTC)Canuck2012

I meant for the map-it still shows Nanchang as being in the west near Sichuan, when it should be south of the Dragon State. There's no such city as Nanchung, only Nanchang, which is in the former province the Dragon State is in.

Grammer vs. Gomez
It occurred to me that Kelsey Grammer of Frasier fame is, in OTL, a registered and proud Republican. Maybe he ought to be the running mate of Brian Williams in Napoleon's World as a conservative counterweight on the National Party ticket instead of the fictional Alex Gomez? He could be the Senator of Florida (where he grew up), for example. What do you think?

True true, specially since the National Party is more Rockefeller Republican than Tea Party in ATL. OR I could just make Grammer not be a tea partier in his convictions, since I neither Robert Redford, Brian Williams nor Steve Martin are known for being conservatives (particularly Redford) yet in NW they are all part of the National Party.

A Bunraku Sock?
Hey LG, long time no talk. Anyways, I just wanted to bring something to your attention. We have two users (mapgamers really), this guy and this other person, that claim to be brother and sister. However, this whole brother and sister thing really seems to be working out for them, and they're practically allied in most of their map games in common. Call me too presumptive, but do I smell a dirty sock? Or is it a puppet? I hope you catch my wind.

Hasta la vista, baby. (I'll be back.) 01:41, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there. Just thought I'd drop you a line and ask why you took out the changes I made to the "Japanese Victory" page? Vexacus

I do not want to REMOVE anything from it, I want to ADD to it. I;m hoping to adopt the TL

I do not want to break any of the wiki's rules. I do not intend to REMOVE anything from the "Japanese Victory" page, rather I want to add to the start and expand beyond what was originally written. I hope to adopt the page

Vexacus

OK, thank-you for explaining that. And if yhou undo my edits, will I be able to undo your undo if I am allowed to adopt the page?

Prussian Generals
Hey LG. How are you? I was hoping you could provide a list of Generals in the Prussian, Spanish, and Austrian Armies during the Napoleonic Wars. I've been looking everywhere and I ownly found a few, most of them notable. Enclavehunter (talk) 23:15, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thank-you for explaining that to me. I have copied down all the changes I had made and have a list of changes I hope to make if I am allowed to adopt the page. So my fingers, toes any anything else that can be is crossed

Continental Association
What I was thinking several scenarios that would change the American Revolution, all PODs occuring before the continental association.

1) What if the Catholic Quebecois continued the war against the British as Francs-tireurs causing them to be more and more repressed until they eventually go into full open revolt against the British, possibly with the help of the more southern British Colonies.

2) What if the Spanish did not leave in a mass exodus from Florida after the French and Indian War but instead the Spanish crown thought it would be to expensive, or really anything that would stop them from leaving after the war, and the many Spanish Catholics stayed there. Afterwards the similar concessions made to Quebec did not occur and when invited to revolt against the Protestant, repressing, spiteful British they took their chances and joined.

3) What if East and/or West Florida joined the revolution by some other means (use whatever POD you can dream up)

4) What if the Continental Association also imeadiatley banned exports to Britian, thus hurting their economy and supply of wood, food, and unproduced goods. This causes the British to start the revolution earlier, maybe February 1775 or earlier with a battle against the colonial militia. Or perhaps whatever else this effect would have on the revolution.

Quick concept
Greetings, LG. I would like to get your two cents on an idea I just read about. I'm sure you remember that in Russian America, Germany would become divided. So let's assume early on (since all the powers pretty much did), Germany was going to be permanently divided (not temporarily occupied). With that, wouldn't it make more sense for most of the (the parts of Germany that now make up western Poland) to remain in any rump state?

I came across this idea here, and it does make some sense. However, I would like to get your two cents on this before I go any further. For the record, I would intend for southern East Prussia, Danzig, and Upper Silesia to go to Poland. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:10, October 27, 2012 (UTC)

Adoption of Timeline
My Lord, it is permissible for me for adopting the OFA Chinese Empire timeline and change its basic idea to create a second version of my Myomi Republic timeline? FirstStooge (talk) 07:27, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

This comming Tuesday will be the 1-week I need to wait after PM-ing the original owner of the "Japanese Victory" Page that I'm hoping to be able to adopt. On Tuesday afternoon, I will procede to Stage 2 of the adoption process. I just thought I would let you know in advance so that when I put the Adoption Aplication notice on the page, it does not get edited out
