Romania Application June 2012

Romania requests to claim the Great Area of Australia

We would be greatly pleased if we obtain such territory.

I think this idea could work, its better a country than terra nullis

Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 00:52, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Now addressing this. As I said below, Australia in 1745 is a barely-explored, mystery-enshrouded land mass. The Dutch barely paid any attention to Australia while they had it, so if you really do want it, you'd only be ruling it as a governor of the Dutch, and your land would be extremely limited to the north / northwestern coasts. The British don't get involved until the 1770s. And Robert, if it is better a country than terra nullis, does that mean Antarctica is up for grabs?

A Nation's Reform

Today relizing Frisia is open nation I came up with a idea, I was wondering if I could claim Frisia and take Malta as a province. Please get back to me soon, thank you.

Ukraine

Switzerland requests permission to claim the area of Ukraine.

Tyler Crossbones

Ukraine is part of the Russian Empire, and in fact, remained part of Russia until 1991 when the Soviet Union dissolved.

Jeremiah Garland

Per Garland, no.

Mecklenburg

I would like to claim the area of Mecklenburg, I have the support of many people. I will take Mecklenburg and give away the Nation of Malta. If this claim is not recongized or is ignored Malta will stay as my empire.

King Faye IV of Malta 00:43, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I support this proposition as Mecklenburg is more important than Malta and is in need of a ruler

Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 00:48, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I support this because I think BK would make a somewhat good ruler. Lol.

I support, BK would be good, also countries need leaders.

G-man.

01:00, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I Support - BK for this, I belive he is a good leader.

Roleplay Council Acceptance Request and Resumé

Roleplay Council:

I, Jeremiah Garland, am hereby requesting official admittance into the Roleplay Council. Below is my resumé and reasons why I feel I should join this formal organization.

• Roleplay Title(s): Tsar of Russia (since December 2011); Founder and chairman of the League of Independent Nations (formed March 2012), the first official roleplay international organization; the former Chancellor of the Exchequer (head of economy) of England, former Lord Marshal of the East India Trading Company, as well as numerous other positions in the British Empire; various other titles
• I have been roleplaying since: Joined my first EITC guild, the Black Mercenaries, in August of 2008; have been on the wikia since May 2011.
• I feel I can help the Roleplay Council by: help making decisions and requests put forth by other roleplayers; help spread a positive, new public outlook on roleplay and roleplayers; strongly enforce the new rules set forth by the Roleplay Council, and abide by them myself; keep roleplay historically accurate, given my vast knowledge of history.

Also, I was told by Parax that he had nominated me for the council, this is just sort of a follow-up. I understand politics and how they work, which many organizations such as this operate by. As I also mentioned above, I am proud of my vast knowledge of history and the world, which will help in keeping roleplay relevant and realistic to the time period of the 1740s. I am a very outspoken, serious, and sometimes a stubborn person, and take pride in my skills to debate (if that means anything). I have roleplayed for numerous countries, and know how proper roleplay works. As I said above, I am also the founder and chairman of the League of Independent Nations, which, although controversial at first, was one of the first international roleplay organizations on the wiki, which promoted peace, created rules for the nations, and is very much similar to this very council. Also, I am the founder and president of my school's model United Nations, and, similarily, created my own Model UN Wikia. In conclusion, I feel I could contribute largely to the Roleplay Council, and help keep things organised and running smoothly. Thank you for the consideration, and have a splendid evening.

Hail and farewell,

Jeremiah Garland 01:36, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I heavily Support - this. I hope Jack and Blastshot give their input on it as well.--Parax 01:47, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I am glad you are applying, otherwise I might have suggested you. I think I need to start taking initiative with this because I have been left out of everything to do with this, so far.

Kingdom of Hawaii

I ask the Role-Playing council to recognize the Hawaiian Kingdom. I claimed Hawaii before the Role-Playing council was invented. Please recognize Hawaii as a Independent Nation. The League of Independent Nations recognize it and including Britain.

The Empire of Romania backs this claim as he was granted permission to rule by many 02:21, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Parax. – D'OH! ParaxHermit, Ecsyth, my epic Story Quest, and My epic Island TALK – Friday, April 19 2024 (Eastern Standard Time) Just for the record, it was already declared that an existing nation would still be existing.

Either way, Russia strongly supports Hawai'i being an independent kingdom.

-- Jeremiah Garland

This is just pointless..

What the hell are we gaining from this besides a bunch of "roleplayers" attempting to "regulate" the flow of "healthy roleplay." May I remind you that this was nearly created by the same man who created the last, most putrid rule of no claiming countries? How is this any different? There should be no countries. Population should decide it all. If you're telling me that someone like Malta, who has a leader that has been not only previously banned but is frowned upon by many, deserves more land than Breasly, the succesful runner of Britain, basically the only roleplay country that actually has people (despute Russia)..... then my point is proven.

Again this is just my opinion, but I have lost lots of respect towards the people who thought of this.

I would like to point out, that despite me being the manager, I have had absolutely nothing to do with anything that has happened on this page. I was not part of the rulings, not part of any decisions, the only thing I have managed to contribute so far was the page's title...

Jack, I mean do disrepsect to you in any way, but how can you be the president of the Role-play Council when you're not that big of a role-player? From what I've seen so far, this council should be ran by ONLY role-players, and lead by the three largest role-players, who would be (to me) John Breasly, Jeremiah Garland, and possibly Johnny Goldtimbers. The council should then be made up of three role-players from each country such as: Russia, Spain, France, England and any other largely-affiliated-with-roleplay countries. There should be a representative from each country's government, navy, and trade.

-- James Macstealer

I'm frowned upon many?

King Faye IV of Malta 10:38, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Mallace brings up some good points. I think that to make it fair for everybody, and so people like Bohemian King (yeah, we're gonna pick on him) don't get more land than others, we base your roleplay prestige on experience. In other words, the longer you've been on the wiki, and/or the longer you've been here, as well as how many people follow your country, the more land/power/money/etc. you have. In a sense, like the first-come-first-serve method. It's really the only way. We can't carve up land somebody like say, Breasly, claimed literally two years ago to give to a new user who just joined the wiki yesterday and wants land to own. We'd have to keep it historical, but also keep it according to all land claimed before the "no claiming land" rule. I know a first-come-first-serve method might be controversial, but it really is the only way to keep it fair for people who have been here longer and have more followers. Just a suggestion.

-- Jeremiah Garland

@Garland This is about the worst idea ever. It would be a very complex and overbearing system to determine if someone else has been here long enough and how much land that transfers to. Every country remaining is tiny, and people are only allotted one unclaimed country. We are not allowed to carve out other people's countries.

{C} Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 17:01, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, okay Robert. You're right. Let's just take, say... Denmark, a country that John actually fought for for months and has added to his empire, and give it to Will Greasescarlett because he says he wants to be a roleplayer. Good thinking! Let's do that!

If you actually read what I said, and maybe processed it through your brain, you would've noticed that I said "we can't carve up people's countries". Keyword there is can't, as in, I'm against it. Maybe you should read something twice and make sure you understand it before calling it the "worst idea ever", okay?

-- Jeremiah Garland Rob you are officially uninvited to this thread.

-unknown

Um, If you actually follow the instructions found at this page

Welcome Robert Mc Roberts, to the Roleplay council!

{C}Here is where you may request ownership of unclaimed countries ( view this page )

To make a request, please go to this page

You would have looked at the Roleplay map of unclaimed countries (you know the one I made that had everything BEFORE the rule?)

http://potcoplayers.wikia.com/wiki/File:Claimes.png

This shows quite clearly that Denmark is not available.

Also I never suggested we would carve out countries, I never suggested YOU supported it. You used an example of someone carving out a country, to which I said that couldn't happen

Reread my message, you have missed the complete substance of the message.

{C}Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 17:01, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Also, one last thing I may point out.

Every single roleplaying country besides Britain and Russia... has 1-3 people.

Talk

Not necessarily. Some like Japan and the Ottoman Empire are slightly bigger than 1-3… still small, but growing nonetheless :P--Parax 17:09, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

From what Ive read, it is just sad. @Mallace The Council would be first of all looking into the Role-Player's Experience and such. You may apply however it is not guranteed you will get what you want. For Example, I want Australia.. I am applying to get it however that does not mean I will or anyone will. @Garland We really shouldnt do it off experience of being on this WIKI, more so role play in general. Some have been in role play for very long in game but only joined the wiki right now. AlsoThe Council is probably (Don't quote me I could be wrong) trying to make it fair for smaller countries grab land by doing it the way they are. What you're suggesting is breaking the balance and having a, what I call, Rich and Poor system.

{C}Now another thing, WHY THE ARGUEMENT? Why cant we do this in peaceful terms in a PM on chat, and if you can not manage to do that, then that's being an idiot and many other things. I would like to be able to edit and enjoy in peace. Once again I am very close to requesting something that could change this fighting/arguement out of handness.

-

No, I got it pretty clearly. And yes, it was an example, as you stated. An example, as in, don't take it literally, I was just using it to prove a point. And no offense to the map you made, but it sucks. Nobody follows it. Hate to be honest here, but it is true. You can stay out of this, and worry about your own country. I realise this thread is for everybody to put in suggestions, but what you're doing right now isn't "suggesting". In a nut shell, what you are doing is seeing somebody's suggestion (mine), criticizing it, calling it the worst idea ever, and then basically saying there's nothing wrong with it. I hardly understand your logic. In fact, I doubt anybody on this wiki understands your logic. You get in arguments with everybody, get completely OWNED, and then turn everything around on everybody and blame things on other people. And on top of that, you're never wrong! John was right! You can never admit that maybe you lost an argument, or one guy proved you wrong. You can't admit it. Also, I'd like to bring up the point that from July 2011 until March 2012, you were inactive. Nine months. A lot happens on here in nine bloody months, Robert, so who are you to jump in on everything going on here, and decide what is best for the wiki? You clearly have no idea how roleplay operates here, and you aren't going to get your voice heard by criticizing others' ideas to make them look bad. So as I said, don't worry about this. This doesn't concern you. Mallace had a legit reason of argument above, and I provided the thread with a considerable solution to all issues here. Did I say it would be the solution? No. I didn't. It was a bloody suggestion, and you come here and attack it. Pitiful, Robert, pitiful.

-- Jeremiah Garland

P.S. Did you just delete a message posted by another user (the user who made this thread)? Because I didn't know that was allowed.

Yup, he did. Robert, I dear hope your block request continues, because I can gurantee you its going to go far.

Heres a plus one for reasons:"Deletes posts he doesn't like and thinks noboy will notice."

Jeremiah is completely right.

Talk

Albert, as I said, it was a suggestion. And honestly, I think it would be the most effiecent method. I realise there are some newer people to the wiki who want a turn at owning the "bigger" countries, but, frankly, that's not how things should work here. People like John and yes, even me, make pages, create guilds, operate systems, even make whole bloody wikis for our countries, and we can't carve them up because the newer users want certain land. That's just their bloody fault.

'Also, what would you plan to do with Australia? It certainly can't be a kingdom, because at this point, it's an unofficial colony of the Netherlands. And just curious, what's wrong with Romania?

-- Jeremiah Garland

Jeremiah Chat please

-unknown

Jeremiah, I have my reasons for taking such land, I have my logic that you may never ever understand. I also never said newer people wanted bigger countries. I said countries in general and people in general. And who are you to say how things should work? This shall be my last comment in this thread. If you really need to arguye more, do PM me in chat.

@Jeremiah, My Map does not suck, It has a greater detail of anything YOU could ever make.

I have an idea of how some things work, but because I was inactive for 9 months doesn't mean I cannot comment on anything.

Also, how have I lost an argument when you never even responded to me after one post! You make as much sense as John does sometimes...

Also I do not get "OWNED", you say I do because you can't continue an argument. Maybe you cannot understand my logic, but many others are capable of that level of thought.

I did not agree with anything in your point except that you cannot carve out others countries, which is already common sense.

Also I said ALOT was wrong with it, you would have to make specific rules that would say how much time = how much land etc.

Also, I was wrong on Poland for an example, and I have yet to see you or John do the same thing.

Also, I can say an Idea is not good, especially If i provide reasns like I did

Also, I readded "Rob you are officially uninvited to this thread." since that was SUCH a damn important addition to the post, and It did not have a signature to begin with.

{C} Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 17:32, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I dont mean to but in, but has anyone seen my soap?

-Jeffrey B

Come on guys, is it really necessary to fight about this? Let's have a mature conversation, okie? So far all I see is pointless arguing over imaginary land. Do you guys know how ridiculous that is?--Parax 17:40, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Parax, we're being mature. It is Robert who is bringing up irrelevant points and thinks he runs roleplay.

Robert...

• Actually, it sort of does. Why do you think Curycoo got demoted? Because he was inactive for so long. If I went inactive for 3/4 of a year like you did, heck, I wouldn't even expect to have Russia anymore.
• I did respond?
• If that level of thought is of a moron, than yes, you're right. I never back out of an argument.
• Good, I'm glad you have some logic.
• First of all, you spelled "a lot" wrong... It's two words, but I'm going to ignore that for now. Obviously, Robert, we'd make rules and outlines to the suggestion I put forth. It was a rough outline of how I think things should be, I'm sorry I didn't write up a full bloody constitution for you.
• I've admitted to a lot of my mistakes. Want proof? I'll admit maybe I was a little power-hungry with the LIN initially, not anymore.
• I know that, I understand that you can lightly criticize my suggestion to make it better. But that doesn't mean saying "that is the worst idea I've ever heard". That isn't criticism, that's you being a jerk.
• It doesn't matter what the message said. You still can't erase something another user wrote.

-- Jeremiah Garland

Albert, if you really want, Australia could be your's. Have at it. But, you'd have to ask Jarod if you could rule it as a governor and you'd be getting a lot less than you think...

-- Jeremiah Garland

"Parax, we're being mature. It is Robert who is bringing up irrelevant points and thinks he runs roleplay." LOL

I do not think I run roleplay, and I am not the one conquering other nations, and I am not the one who excludes legitimate nations from a "Leaguge of Independent Nations" because Russia claimes it somehow has a protectorate on bohemia when nobody else recognizes it but your nation and its puppets ...

So, I cannot comment on any roleplay that happened after March then? what about stuff I was informed about from other people? If your gone on vacation, can we tell you "oh Russia was conquered while you were gone", and because you were gone you cannot comment on it?

Your "response" ignored all of my message except a small grammatical errors which you blew out of proportion to make me look bad.

Well, don't criticize me for doing the same thing then.

I have alot of Logic, and that was the only thing logical in your post

This rough outline still had a lot wrong with it, and making a more detailed version woudln't help the situation at all. This proposal will need a lot of complex rules, and restrictions and it will be difficult for others to participate in roleplay and for the council to handle it.

You still are power hungry, you deny countries admission because Russia wants more land at thier expense.

This is a horrible idea though, It makes things alot more complex for little to no gain.

If he actually put a signature, I wouldn't have removed it because It wouldn't interfeer with my message, But whatever, I added it back, and he still needs to add his signature.

Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 18:14, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Let's start thinking about how funny this video is instead of fighting over role-playing land:

Gai giving Kakashi a piggy back ride(Gai and Rock Lee Funny)

Pencil- (talk)

Looks like that guy is doing FUS RO DAH ^ xD

• Bohemia was a misunderstanding. I gave it back to John and that is settled. Don't bring it back up or it will only cause more problems.

• Actually, since I'm courteous, if I left for a nine month "vacation", I would allow somebody else to rule Russia. Why? Because I'm not a selfish hog that holds onto land when I'm inactive.

• It was a response nonetheless. Why are you complaining?

• I'm not criticizing you, you're criticizing me.

• Again... "a lot" is two separate words, but whatever. And if that is the only thing "logical" in my suggestion, could you please thoroughly and intelligently explain to me what is "unlogical" about the rest? I'd love to know.

• It was a suggestion on what I thought of the question at hand. It wasn't an "outline", I was being sardonic about that. How do you know it'd be difficult for the council to handle? If anything, it'd be easier. They wouldn't have to keep track of dozens of small one-man kingdoms.

• Rofl, that made no sense. Do you even know what the LIN does? Yes, obviously Russia wants more land.

• Again, I can't imagine a more complex solution. If you can, be my guest, propose it instead of pointlessly denying mine and calling it horrible. Be productive for once, instead of destructive.

• Good boy.

-- Jeremiah Garland

My tummy speaks to me.

Pencil- (talk)

• It is currently Austrian, not even the English dispute that

• How was I selfish? I didn't rule anything! However, when people were claiming that Bohemia existed while I was gone, and I asked Hannah and Dandan if they had ever been fought over it (or fought others all), and they were active during those 9 months.

• Because it wasn't a real response, because a response is supposed to add something to the conversation

• You want to block me for the exact same thing you do...

• I've been trying to tell you what is wrong but you wont listen! What is wrong is that you will need to make a set of overly complex rules to specify how much land people can get in how much time since you suggested we base how much land people can get on how much time they have spent here.

• How would it be EAISER?!?!? The council would have to look through alot of rules, try to determine if the person is worthy etc.

• You say the LIN is to " The League of Independent Nations (LIN) is an international organization comprised of allied nations with the common goal of unity. The main purposes of the League of Independent Nations is to promote universal peace, establish strong relations financially and socially, and to recognize the independent nations of the world (whether they are part of the LIN or not). The LIN is currently composed of eight nations. " Your not promoting Universal peace by dragging on claiming Bohemia as an independent nation when nobody else does. All that does is promote conflict.

• Here is an idea, don't restrict people from claiming unclaimed countries! simple as that.

Robert Mc Roberts ^{For Crown and County!} 19:04, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

This is going to be my last argument, because honestly I'm sick and tired of your immaturity, Robert. You think you're right about everything, don't even try denying it.

• Good, then problem solved.
• ROFL, I never said you were selfish.
• I'm sorry, I can't hack into your brain and know when you have read something wrong.
• ?
• Why would we need complex rules??? It's simple. Experience + people in you country = more roleplay prestige. Honestly, that's how it's been going for years now, but now that I put it in writing, you argue it. And frankly, even if there were "complex rules", I'm committed to help write those rules, Robert.
• For a third time... "A lot" is two words. And like I said, I'm willing to go through these rules. And if a new user is "worthy" enough to be given a sizable nation, then they may choose whichever is available.
• Stop being so butthurt about Bohemia. Like I said, it was a misunderstanding, so shut up about it. (There. There's another example in which I admit I was wrong).
• They can claim them, just ask through here first. Because the problem is, there are people who tend to claim nations that are either: A) already claimed, and didn't realise it, or B) are historically non-existing as a country at this time (example: Albert Spark claiming Australia). Do you remember Jason Shiprat claiming the Ottoman Empire a few months back? Oh wait, of course you don't; you were inactive. Well, it was a disaster. I think that's why the rule was set up. People kept on claiming countries without researching anything and it became unbearable.

-- Jeremiah Garland '

My word on the matter is that Britain is the only powerhead on this game. I could destroy all of you if I desired, but I do not desire to. But you're making me want to >.<

--John Breasly, Former Admin 19:42, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

• You didn't respond to my post, you accused me of saying something I didn't, and did not respond at all to my main post
• My Block request is basically because I argue with people and do not yield, you voted Support.
• Experience (how do you measure this exactly??) + People in country (what stops people from joining several countries?)=roleplay presitige (which is what exactly?). This system makes no sense in relation to people getting new unclaimed countries and in general (what does prestige even do? and how to you measure/determine it)
• How do you measure "worthiness"?
• A)Hence why we made a map, and a list of existing countries.... B)we can have fictionus flying machines but people can't colonize terra nullis?
• I get it, I was inactive, there is no point rubbing it in that you had the freetime to be on here, and I had other things to attend to.
• I do not know the situation, but unless they were not claiming existing countries (or ficticious countries that exist on existing plots of land) I personally see no issue with it.

A map for Roleplay

Since there has been much discussion about what land what countries claims and what they own which is in all and all effected by Historical accounts and Roleplay events in Game or on Wiki. So due to that I would like to make a Roleplay Map of the World and Europe with the assistance of all Roleplay Nations and Robert Mc Roberts. I would like your approval to start such matters and your help to End the Dispute on who owns what land or what what. If a country can show such cause in Game to change the True Historical View on Nations then we can accept that in our World Map. This project may take a week or 2 to fully complete. So I would like your Approval to work on such ASAP. These Map(s) would be a World Map for a Overall General View and then a European/ Northern African Map for a closer and clearer view since almost all the countires claimed are in Europe......... The 2 maps being used which I would like the Council's Approval.
