Weird Al
I am also a fan of Weird Al, however, my research places him around Southern California, so most likely he is dead in the 1983DD world. That is unless you have proof that he was away from a target area in 1983. Mitro 04:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing personal, but the TL is a dystopia. Try researching to find out if he was somewhere else when DD happened.  Mitro 13:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Virginia
I just got back from a wedding this weekend, so I'll probably look at the chages on Monday. Mitro 21:41, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I reviewed your changes and took the liberty to make some changes/additions of my own. Obviously you have the right to disagree, but I hope you consider them at least.
 * First, I shrunk the size of the state. Considering the radiation likely to effect the region, along with social instability, the entire area needs to be shrunk to the most rural parts of the area if any state hopes to survive.
 * Second, I replaced Myers with MG Thompson, the historical commander of the 101st airborne at the time of Doomsday. To go along with the new size of Virginia I had him relocate the 101st to West Virginia and after taking Charleston, using it as a base for further conquest.
 * Third, I dropped references to Fort Knox. Honestly I don't think the fort would be much use to Thompson.  Trade with Superior would be a trickle at best and without a working port he would not be able to trade with the outside world.  He may secure the fort and take the gold for later use, but in the long run it is very unimportant for the survival of the state.
 * I made some other changes as well and added some ideas of my own. If you find these changes satisfactory I can see what I can do about getting this graduated.  Mitro 21:20, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe, but then again maybe not. People with the skills you list are already in short supply in OTL, and there won't be that many just randomly wandering around 2 decades after Doomsday. Many would probably have already establshed themselves in smaller survivor communities, raised families, maybe even reached positions of power or influence themselves because of their knowledge. They would be teachers as well as practicioners of their expertise. Why would they give that up to move to a military dictatorship? Granted its possible the place they live now is not much better, or even worse, but once a place is home its hard to leave. Also why is Norfolk intact? The largest naval base in the world is located there and NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic is there. I feel it would have been hit by a Soviet nuke and it is marked on the Doomsday report as being hit. Plus it is still some distance from Virginia as it is. The Virginians would have to secure and rebuild the instrature in most of Virginia before they could get to the nuked city and then they would have to rebuild the port facilities that have been destroyed by the nuclear bomb. That is going to take years in not decades. It would make more sense to go to a smaller Virginian port. Mitro 17:51, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Hey I am from WV (or in Doomsday, Virginia). I assumed Wheeling would be a state. So here is a American Senater from WV named Robert Byrd and I want to know if I can add him into the story.

War in Canada
I honestly don’t think Virginia will be involved in the upcoming war in Canada. Though closer then New Britain, they are still relatively far that supply and transporting any soldiers there would be a logistical nightmare (especially since it would have to be done on land). The cost would also be too much for the Virginia economy to bear. Also much like New Britain they have nothing to gain from going to war. Virginia likely has little to no contact with either Saguenay or Canada so declaring war or not would effect little of their relationship with either party. They would gain no territory from this or any other benefit if they were on the side that won. Mitro 18:57, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Niverville
To answer your question, I really don't know. I'm not an expert on nuclear weaponry, perhaps you should ask someone else. However, as only one nuke hit Winnipeg, I think you have a pretty good chance. --DarthEinstein 22:51, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Neues Deutschland
Just some example sentences to show the difference between "neues Deutschland" and "Neudeutschland":

Oskar Lafontaine versprach dem Menschen ein neues Deutschland.

Oskar Lafontaine promised the people a new Germany.

Neues Deutschland therefore refers to a revitalised, improved Germany. Not so much a new country in its own right. An ideal name therefore to be the name of a newspaper, or to use for hollow election promises.

Die Siedler gründeten Neudeutschland.

The settlers founded New Germany.

And this the kind of New Germany you were referring to, a new country in its own right. I guess the only way to distinguish between the two is the capitalisation of the N in "New". Please keep in mind that these translator machines are only good for passive reading, and even then they can twist the very meaning of a text. --Karsten&#160;vK (talk) 12:38, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Cave City
You and GOPZACK have my blessing to use Cave City in regards to your respective countries. --BrianD 19:03, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Future of Cave City
I want all of old Kentucky, parts of old Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Arkansas. You can do what you will with Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia and parts of Ohio, North Carolina. I say we split old Fort Campbell 50/50. I'll take the parts in Kentucky you can have the Tennessee part. I also think our two nations should forge closer diplomatic connections. --GOPZACK 01:55, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

If you would like a road through Kentucky so you can get to Fort Campbell The Commonwealth of Kentucky would be interested in giving you such a road. I apologize if I came across as a bully that was not my intention. I want nothing but good strong relations between our two nations I just want some set boundaries for our respective nations--GOPZACK 04:12, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

If you would like to visit the Patton Museum, if by Patton Museum you mean an abandoned building with all the resources stripped from it your more then welcome to visit anytime. As for a capital I'm thinking Lexington and whoever the mayor is of Lexington would probably do. Now the area in white represent areas under Kentucky Control The areas in the yellow box are territory Kentucky claims. We also reserve the right to expand into Indiana, Illinois and Missouri as we see fit. Thus giving you part of Kentucky and ALL of Tennessee --GOPZACK 16:03, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Ah I see, perhaps we would give you a copy of the blueprints for something in return? Like I said we are interested in forging closer relations --GOPZACK 16:26, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

The Deal
As for what I would like I want two things. #1 I would like all of Kentucky not in a shaded color and #2 an alliance between our two nations. --GOPZACK 20:29, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

I believe such an arrangement can be made for a road. Now seeing as we both want an alliance between our two nations would you be willing to spilt old Fort Campbell 50/50 then we could both invest in it's renewal saving you money. Our two nations could run joint exercises and such does that interest you? --GOPZACK 04:14, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Very good sir I think we should finalize some type of treaty very soon--GOPZACK 17:43, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

I just saw your idea for a "Southern Compact" or the "Dixie Accord" that could be the name of such a treaty--GOPZACK 17:45, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Portland, Tennessee
I agree, I say we make joint statement announcing our support for them. My expedition teams should be in the area very soon. --GOPZACK 18:00, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yank, please see comments on southern United States/Portland/"Southern Pact/Dixie Accord" under General Discussion on the 1983:DD talk page. There are a ton of ideas here that I think are worth exploring.--BrianD 19:12, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Tile mistake
oh don't worry about it, it's fine --GOPZACK 18:53, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Formal Boarder
Just to confirm you only claim the parts of Kentucky that were colored on that map correct? If so lets make that the formal boarder --GOPZACK 18:02, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps OTL Congressman Hal Rogers (R) could be the governor. As for the capital Pikeville could work, the mayor of Pikeville could be the governor as well. --GOPZACK 20:44, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Alright I've made a formal map of our two nations based off of the info you've provided. I'm unsure what territory you control in North Carolina and Tennessee so if you could let me know that would be great and I'll add it in. --GOPZACK 18:40, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

I've added in your North Carolina Claims and my proposed plan to divide the former state of Ohio --GOPZACK 00:51, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

I can do that, I also recommend if you've got any territorial gains in mind you do them soon before the LON claims them or protects them --GOPZACK 02:14, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Yes we are. don't worry about all that other crap :) --GOPZACK 16:56, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Kentucky would like Ottawa County other then that it's fine --GOPZACK 02:00, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Let's go back to splitting adams county then. Besides if Kentucky was to get Ottawa county you still hold a large strip of land along the Erie Shoreline --GOPZACK 02:53, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Blog
Yank, that blog post was really not the best way to handle the situation, that is why I deleted it. Now I believe your right and that Mr. X overreacted a little by your comment, but he said on my talk page he is not looking for an argument. I would suggest dropping it because making this bigger then it really is a waste of time. Mitro 02:56, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

I think thats a great idea but I think Bunning would use this estate in Virginian Kentucky as a vacation residence while keeping his main residence in Kentucky. Also Bunning may be leaving the Presidency in January of 2011 his public life is by no means over. I may use him as a goodwill ambassador or something. --GOPZACK 19:54, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I like the idea but before I sign onto this I would like to know the fully plan for this alliance. Like the members, goals ect ect... --GOPZACK 22:05, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I can support this so long as the member states have their sovereignty protected and have the right to leave the alliance at anytime without fear of being reprimanded. --GOPZACK 19:52, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Very well, I give you the green light. Start a page, add it to the list of proposals and we'll see what happens. --GOPZACK 21:11, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Unstable Earth
You can go ahead and join. Welcome to Unstable Earth! Dr. 8-Bit 23:46, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Unstable Earth is mostly ASB, but it has a specific kind of ASB: things randomly teleporting through time and space. Note "randomly" - time travel is uncontrollable to those who live *there*. It also will soon have some regular PODs once Mr.Xeight edits some stuff. A Nazi Antarctica could work, though they almost certainly aren't time-traveling - also, please check my and Mr.Xeight's talk pages, as I just brought up the concept of Nazis. So far it's looking like they worship mushrooms (just like all of the west) and hate Christians instead of Jews. Dr. 8-Bit 01:32, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, that makes more sense. Sure, just so long as they don't affect the rest of the world too much. Dr. 8-Bit 01:52, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Vietnam
Wow, that's strange. I was also planning on doing an article on Vietnam. Except, I planned on going the oposit direction with the communists surviving and formin a loose union with Laos and Cambodia, similar to ATL SAC or the Nordic Union. I had an early draft of the story, but maybe it would be more interesting to see a democratic, capitalist Vietnam emerge. In my opinion, Hanoi wouldn't be nuked, it wasn't that important. But regardles if it was or wasn't, you could say that the government fell because of the Chinese flocking into Vietnam. Oh, and could you perhaps tell me if you would like to do any other countries in Indochina? Because I had a few plans for other nations.Vladivostok 05:54, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * The fact that Vietnam is not a heavy hitter doesn't matter. They are still a Soviet ally and like the Warsaw Pact nations, Afghanistan, North Korea and others, they will likely be targeted on Doomsday.  Mitro 14:12, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

WV Targets
I had my doubts about the hotel, but the steel mills could be a likely target. The point of the Nike missiles were to protect against Soviet bombers carrying nuclear weapons. Yes the ICBM made them obsolete, thus the Soviets would just send an ICMB against the steel mills in WV. I used Nike missile site as an example to show how the steel mills of south Chicago were important targets. I don't understand why you think the introduction of the ICBM would make them a non-target.

Also there is a big difference between a product that is made and a natural resource. It would be impossible to destroy a natural resource like coal, but it is possible to destroy the factories that make steal. It is these factories that made the US a world power and I doubt the Soviets would leave such useful resources to whatever is left of the US. That is why many of the large cities would be destoryed, not because of their populations but what they provide to the United States government and military. Mitro 21:09, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Virginia/Portland contingent thrown out of Jackson at gunpoint
How shall the Dixie Alliance respond to this? --GOPZACK 05:05, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I expect that Virginia won't take this lightly. For all of the perceptions of Virginia floating out there, Jackson is ten times crazier (without the tanks and 20th century weapons). This isn't anywhere on the wiki, yet, but Jackson is run by a bunch of survivalists and crazed Army vets who managed to get order in the region, then shut the place down (they kicked out Portland reps sometime in the 1990s - I do think there's some reference to that ont he Portland page or the Tennessee page). As I said, the nutjobs don't have tanks, but that didn't keep them from trying to build their own...so there's an opportunity for one of you guys to draw up a scenario with the Thompson tank versus the Jackson "tank". Use your own imagination as to what that thing looks like :) BrianD 05:23, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

A Thought
There is a place called the Raven Rock Mountain Complex in southern Pennsylvania just south of Gettysburg which was meant to serve as a "underground Pentagon in the event of a nuclear war. By the time of Doomsday this facility no longer held the same importance that it did in the 1950's and 60's. From what I know Virginia controls the Maryland panhandle correct? If so this place could still exist and is worth exploring. Perhaps with a bit of restoration it could serve as the HQ for the Dixie Alliance. --GOPZACK 04:27, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Heres another possible location, the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. Which I believe is in Virginian territory.--GOPZACK 21:25, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not use The Greenbrier Hotel? It has the benefit of being in the core territory of the member, plus it likely still has some of the equipment that would have been used for communications, etc. in case of nuclear war. Its also probably in pretty good shape compared to anything outside DA member territory. Furthermore we know it survived Doomsday. Mitro 22:16, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

So long as Yank doesn't take issue I'm fine with that. --GOPZACK 22:24, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

PUSA
Yank most of what you have said has been said before (in one form or another) by myself and others, but this "endless stream of naive fools" you mention is something that I think only you noticed. No offense man but from my POV what happened on Talk:Provisional United States (1983: Doomsday) was that a new user made a suggestion and you jumped down his throat. Consider our first interaction. Consider how you felt when I orginally nominated the first version of Virginia for deletion (then known as the Washigton Empire) instead of talking with you first. It was a mistake on my part and I apoligized, but now you have gone and made the same mistake I made. Also would you have reacted the same way if that same new user did not mention Virginia? Just some food for thought. Mitro 19:27, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

King Andrew in Assiniboia
Yeah thats fine, the idea was that King Andrew is going to spending a few months in each of his royal dominions to try and forge closer relations. Bob 16:44, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Steel
It would be too costly to rebuild steel mills that were destroyed during a nuclear war. It would make more sense just to build some new ones somewhere else. Mitro 03:14, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Dixie Alliance
Remember the Dixie Alliance is a joint venture between you & me, any offers of military assistance or any other type of involvement regarding the Dixie Alliance needs to be run by me.

New Richmond
I think they would never move to a "New Richmond." Remember that the Virginian Republic is centered on West Virginia, not Virginia. This is the same West Virginia that seceded from the state of Virginia to stay with the union during the Civil War. They really are not that tied to Virginia history after that point and I really doubt they would be trying to make themselves look more like the Old Dominion. The current capitol of the VR is likely to be their capitol for a long time. Mitro 18:17, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Fargo
Hey, Yank. After seeming to have come to an agreement on Fargo, you changed the text back to stating that Fargo "voted to become part of Assiniboia." I thought I had made myself clear, Fargo is an important part of North Dakota - its biggest city and uneffected by the bombing of the air bases and silos in the northern part of the state. You are basing Assiniboia on an old map made by the first claimants of the land, and not on any activity that would be likely to re-establish those exact boundaries.

I am proposing that a line, drawn across the north boundaries of McLean, Sheridan, Wells and Eddy counties (North 47° 50') would be a good boundary. The lower halves of Nelson and Grand Forks counties would be south of that line, and could either go with North Dakota or Assinobia. I figure that land has mostly been abandoned anyway, but some of the villages in the latter two counties might want to keep the whole counties under local control.

When Zack asked me to help in the Dakotas, I assume that a viable remnant remains east of the Missouri -- of both states. Unless there is a very good reason, I don't think we should relinquish Fargo to Assiniboia. SouthWriter 17:23, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
