NOTICE: As of Tuesday, August 22 2017 20:32 EST new Map Game applications are indefinitely suspended as a part of the 2017 Alternative History Wiki Reforms


The Map Game Oversight Committee, presented by Strategos of the Edele Adelaars Scrawland Scribblescratch and a bunch of others.

A map game is a role-playing game in which each player controls the actions of an entire nation or people-group. A map game must always have a main page that includes a map of the area encompassed by the player nations and all posts by the players and moderators. All map games must have moderators that control NPC events and people, guiding the world and prevent inter-player conflict.

In the same manner as TSPTF requests, each map game has a time of two weeks to gather the votes which declare it successful or unsuccessful for making.

Committee[]

  1. Strategos of the Edele Adelaars Scrawland Scribblescratch
  2. Lieutenant Vivaporius
  3. Lieutenant United Republic
  4. Constable Nathan1123
  5. Constable Edgeofnight
  6. Constable ForsakenPear
  7. Constable Reximus55
  8. Firesofdoom

Committee Rules (proposed, not in place)[]

As adopted from Edge's vote on his proposed reforms.

  • The current members of the Committee will be all removed. All of them. No If, ands, or buts about it.
  • A new committee will be founded by 2 or 3 users who qualify. They will facilitate the voting for the rest of the committee members
  • The New Committee will have all members elected into a two tier hierarchy Superior and Lesser Members.
  • Possibly, a head of the committee will be elected. Although this is not important, it may serve to establish a clearer sense or order
  • The TSTPF and Committee will be seperate. An Admin will not automaticlly be a Superior member.
  • Now we get into the better things: Users on the committee will be expected to be either committee members or "professional" map gamers (on this wiki. their involvment in games on other wikis or sites is not relevant). Yes. This means if you want to play a map game, a committee member will be expected to step down.
  • Committee memebers will be elected by the people and fellow comittee members. Unlike the TSTPF, users must run for re-election. My proposal is every 6 months for superiors and every 3 months for lessers, but this can be argued about.
  • The above provides three unique benefits. First, It allows users to easily replaces members who are out of touch with the current situation without the need for a scandal. Second, it allows us to keep the committee small. Third, it makes the committee more responsive to the needs of the wiki.
  • The committee would act to beef up either the map game wiki or a new wiki to handle any overflow map games that the commitee decides does not meet the standards of this wiki.
  • If a staff of the MGOC is inactive for two weeks or more without any excuse, they must be removed and replaced.

  • Any evidence of inadequate moderation spotted by the overseers will be given a warning; if problems continue, the moderator will be suspended

Little Bit O' Soul[]

  • Mr.Orwell
  • tried to start one but failed
  • It is 1962, Kennedy is President and the Soviets are sending nuclear missiles to Cuba. Yet in late 1950 UN forces held out against the Chinese onslaught into North Korea. The bloodiest battle of the 1950s broke out near Chosin Reservoir. The UN forces holding position left the Chinese in disarray and MacArthur chased them back across the Yalu, yet President Truman threatened to relieve MacArthur if he pursued the Chinese across the Yalu or used nuclear weapons. The short lived Korean War transpired into MacArthur running for President and becoming the Republican nominee. MacArthur would see to stop communisms advance across the world. MacArthur supported Britain and Israel's intervention in the Suez Crisis of 1956. MacArthur also gave money and weapons to the French to fight the "communist" rebels in its colonies. But in 1954 Vietnam was divided into a Communist North and Capitalist South. US advisors would continue to help South Vietnam in its war against the VC. Now in 1960 John F. Kennedy won the Presidency for the Democrats and decided with the civil war going on in South Vietnam to start sending troops in April of 1962 after a attack on Da Nang airbase in northern South Vietnam.

    • I wasn't making it one sided to the west, to simplify it is that the South wins the Korean War and with president MacArthur does everything in his power to stop communism with the USA saying, not another nation would fall to the Reds. I just wanted a PoD to make a Vietnam era starting map game. So I settled on Korea. In fact most of the territory is still the same with some minor changes. MacArthur supplied the Cubans but the Castro's won out, and now the Warsaw Pact is shipping nukes to Cuba (this issue will be in 1962.5). The anti-colonial movements might win out in Africa. Kenya will become independent in a while with the Mau-Mau rebels. Egypt was crushed because MacArthur was convinced by the British that he was communist (Mac is easy to convince). In OTL the communist faction of the anti-colonial groups in Angola and Mozambique won out. The ANC is also partly communist. Mugabe and his supporters were communists. SWAPO was communist and won out. North Vietnam and the VC, communist but won out. Belarus still is trapped in a Soviet Era. The only reason why America is going into Vietnam early is because the VC attacked Da Nang airbase and this forced President Kennedy to act and send legitiment American troops. The Sino-Soviet split happened in 1961 so there's a reason why the Warsaw Pact lost power. The Israel situation is because Britain, France, and Israel invaded Egypt in the Suez crisis. In OTL they were pushed out, but in LBOS with the Brits convincing MacArthur Nasser was a commie, the USA supported the Brits expedition into Egypt. Plus isn't in 1961 when the Berlin Wall was constructed. I also suggest you redact your desicion once the timeline is complete for a then point to make. --Orwell
