Duplication
Greetings. Recently, you have uploaded a file on this site that is a duplicate of another.

If you are using the "Visual" mode for editing and uploading, please be advised that you will be required to use underscores instead of spaces when searching for a file (e.g., "Flag_of_Canada.svg" and not "Flag of Canada.svg"). In the event that the file you acquire has not already been uploaded onto this site, than we highly recommended that you upload the standard file used on Wikipedia and/or Wikimedia Commons as a courtesy to current and future users.

The following uploads have have been removed from this site, and have been replaced with the following correct files:


 * File:Flag of the State of Great Britain.png → File:Union flag 1606 (Kings Colors).svg

Please try not to let this happen again. Do not re-upload this file. Do not remove this message from your talk page. Disciplinary actions will be taken if duplications continue. Thank you. -- 03:36, July 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Do forgive me, but I didn't even notice the ratio (been a long day for me). As an apology, I went ahead an uploaded a new flag for you and corrected your page. Hope you don't mind. -- 04:54, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Two Americas
Greetings. While I did create it, I no longer have control over it. I handed the reigns over to SouthWriter many years ago, so you'd have to ask him.

Regardless of which, I wish you luck on whatever you wish to do. -- 14:51, September 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re: No Napoleon Adoption
Hey, United Republic! I have been setting aside No Napoleon for a while it seems. However, I am not willing to give away the timeline at this point, as I was planning to work on my old timelines like NN after I finish my current timeline. However, you are more than welcome to add pages and articles; heck, we could even consider it a collaborative timeline. Thanks for your interest, I'd love to see what you had in mind!

Thought You Might Be Interested
You recently brought up Two Americas a while back, and I've been meaning to ask if you'd be interested in contributing on another one of my timelines. It's called 13 Fallen Stars and (in particular) I thought you might be interested in in this timeline. It's basically the CSA, though be it a smaller one.

If you'd be interested in working on this timeline than feel free to write me up. I look forward to your response. -- 02:23, October 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand completely, so need to apologize. Glad to see you're interested. I look forward to seeing what you have in mind when you get around to it. Before you do any editing, I highly request that you read the for the timeline, and post your ideas to the talk page so we can discuss them before it becomes canon.


 * I also wanted to add about your timeline King of America that I'm really interested to see how this timeline plays out (despite me being a "monarch-hating republican" XP). I had no idea that someone was actually considered to become a king for the United States (this definitely would've made Alexander Hamilton very happy). Though if you'd allow me to critique this, I'm rather curious that you made the monarchy the "fourth branch of government" (I don't think this exists anywhere else). If you'd allow me to suggest an alternative (though you can take this with a grain of salt), why not have the executive branch consist of the monarchy, while the president would be the leader of the legislative branch (a ).


 * This would effectively make the United States a (likely with the King mostly being a figurehead). In many ways, the founding fathers wanted to have the legislature (Congress) be the more powerful branch of government (but this didn't turn out that way). With an established monarchy (which I'm sure the founding fathers would want to remain nothing more than a figurehead), this seems like a potential outcome for the US.


 * Like I mentioned, you don't have to listen to me (just my two cents). Regardless, I look forward to seeing what you have in mind for this timeline and beyond. -- 18:00, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Maps
Well it all depends on what you want. From the looks of it, the map of Louisiana you recently uploaded looks pretty well done. When it comes to simple, pixel maps like those, I just keep playing around until it looks appealing to the eyes (no real need to go into too much detail). If you'd like some world maps, here's a link to several good blank maps to work with.

Now if you're referring to the detailed maps I do, than that's a whole other level. But if you really want me to give you the basics, I'd be more than happy to try. -- 01:20, October 19, 2014 (UTC)




 * Thank you so much for the compliments. Unfortunately, I'm not accepting any map requests at this time (I simply don't have the time). But for now, I quickly added the requests you wanted (hope you like them).


 * The program I use is Inkscape for all my maps (it's free and easy to use). That flag of Alaska I had to make from scratch, tracing the coastline out manually, using layers to get the colors right, and added the little details. So do forgive me if I sound too technical, but I will try and explain how to make a simple map like I just did for you.


 * On Inkscape, you simply add the base map you wish to use (just Google something and paste it into the program). I use the pencil tool and (using the mouse) draw the coastline. Put the "smoothing" setting to 25 and this give a great illusion of a natural coastline. Once you've done the whole area, simply fill in the color you wish to use by clicking the object and and selecting the color (no need to fill in with a paint bucket). You can add interior borders the same way as the coastline, just you don't fill in and simply use the outline. If I didn't explain this well, I will try an repeat it.


 * I noticed you added my suggestion to your timeline, and I thank you for that. Not much else I can say without potentially altering your desires (I don't wish to do that). The only things I will add is that the Bahamas would likely not be included into Florida (don't see why that would be, but I don't know your reasoning). I'd also suggest you rename your state of "Borealia" into "Buffalo" (since there was actually a proposal to call Alberta and Saskatchewan the "").


 * I'm glad to hear you're reading up on the timeline. Though I must warn you that a lot of it still needs to be worked on. I've also been giving more thought to Carolina, so they might be added soon to help you out. If you need any assistance with this, please let me know. -- 02:43, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

Fadosha War
I have read your timeline Fadosha War and have been inspired by it. I like the idea that French and British relations souring would not lead to their cooperation in a later time, such as the Great War. I am looking forwards to seeing more from it in the future, keep up the good work. Davano (talk) 02:37, November 12, 2015 (UTC)

South Carolina, CSA
Hi. I noticed in your bio has you in SC, CSA. That is so cool, since I guess you know that I live in SC (my icon kinda gives it away). I enjoyed our chat the other day. I look forward to further communication.

I also noted that you have communicated with Nuke concerning Two Americas. I think we can work together on getting our two CSA articles filled in. The CSA of myTL ended up fighting a much longer and bloodier war with little help from Britain and France. That course had been set by Nuke. Anyway, the least we can do is collaborate on bios -- my favorite part!

Well it is late, and I have to get up early. Here's to a new friendship! SouthWriter (talk) 05:41, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

Presidential Election Game
Hello!

You're receiving this message because you either register in the most recent polls or because you're a Republican in the game (no polls out for them). I recognize that the game hasn't moved very quickly or as much as most players would like. I am working on that with Vatonica, since I have a lot of ideas but it's his game so I can't change anything on my own unless I become a mod. That being said, are you still interested? This is a unique game and has the ability to be very fun with the right adjustments! For now, I am putting on an unsanctioned candidates' forum that will either be today or tomorrow, where candidates can come and discuss their ideas/answer questions. Would you be interested in that? Let me know if you are! I'm sure this will be a fun idea for the game. If you yourself have any ideas, please let me know! AP (talk)

Concerned
Hi UR,

I'm just reaching out to you because I'm concerned about what appears to have happened over the last few days and if there's anything I can do to help. I realize I wasn't available over the last day or two but I want you to know that if there's anything here that's bothering you just let me know and we can talk about it.

I'd hate to see you leave, you're a good user with quality timelines under his belt and you contribute well to the intellectual wealth of this community.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help,

Just a heads up, when you copied Jb's sig for your own (which I'm fine with), you left the link to Jb's profile up, so that when you click on 'United Republic' it takes you to his profile, which is confusing. That's all, just warning ya! FP ( Now 10% edgier!!! ) 14:18, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for my acting sir but its not totaly fair i don't have annything but my weakness

Re:Departure
I won't exactly leave, I would only become less active because I am put off by the incompetent moderators and the slow response to important issues. I am really sad that there was no disciplinary action against biased three certain people who might bring inactivity to the sole-running map game due to their incompetence and general lack of knowledge from the period.

Help
Hey, I saw how you want help with the Russian civil war thing, I actually know a lot about Russian history myself and I was wondering if I could lend you my aid also if you want it. I think your thing sounds interesting and fun and I would love to help. --Lieutenant113 (talk) 02:53, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Re:New Timeline Idea and Russian Civil War
I would be more than happy to give you my two cents.

By 1921, the RCW as "virtually over" (sorry to say). All foreign troops had withdrawn the previous year, with Japan being the only straggler (being close by and all). Though fighting was still going on here and there, the Reds were basically hitting a sick horse by this time.

Aside from Teddy redeploying troops which were already recalled, the only remaining scenario I could see (at least in regards to Teddy himself) would be to fully back Japan. Japanese troops were still located in the Russian Far East (at least for another year) and many in Tokyo were hellbent on annexing Russian territory (viewing the Russian Far East the same way the US viewed California during the 1840s).

Such a strategy would have no direct benefit or gain for the USA and would only serve to cripple the USSR as a Pacific power (but not enough to damage their overall power) and to rocket Japan into a more dominant position in Asia (completely rewriting the geopolitics of Asia).

So the options (most likely) would be to accept the Red's victory and move on (pretty much OTL) or side with Japan to cripple the USSR in the Pacific (but gain a more powerful rival named Japan). In hindsight, I should add that Japan having northern colonies could butterfly away the Pacific War down the line (since the area in question would be more beneficial to them in agriculture and resources. But again... a "Pacific Cold War" between the USA and Japan.

That's all I have for now. Hope this helps you out and/or inspires you. If you need any more feedback, I'm all ears. -- 04:23, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hello United Republic,

You seem as a experienced althist. How do you make your maps on the page Maps (King of America). Could you please tell me how because I would like to know how to make maps

Re: Election Maps
Thanks! I use Inkscape for such maps.
