Your Territory
Hello,

In regards to the lively discussion we had on IRC, I figured out a way that I would be receptive towards you making the territory. As EDFan told you on IRC, there would be no more retcons of territories you either don't wish to work on or as a way to make room for another, and if you tried to, the answer would be no. This is not a new trend, as there have been other territories retconned, such as Myr, Tyrosh, and Acadian Alinor. As I have also said, I am distrusting of your capability to stick to an article for a period of time, given the contributions history I see. I know you say you are dedicated to this idea, and I don't doubt that. I also heard that for other territories, as well. As a compromise, I would like to propose that as a way for you to get my trust back, you can prove to me your capabilities to stick to an article and improve it.

To start, New Syrmia looks promising and, if given enough attention, could turn into something very unique. My proposal is for you to work on New Syrmia (an article you haven't touched in a week and seem eager to move on from) and improve it to an HQA. From there, I want you to revisit a few of your older articles that are LQA. These can be cities, other territories, you name it. What you do with them in trying to improve them is up to you, but I want you to dedicate yourself to improving them from LQA to AQA or above. Alternatively, you can improve Dragonstone to an HQA in preparation for your new article, which I assume would heavily tie into the country. This is not in the policy, but ultimately not improving your pre-existing articles only means that they'll end up potential candidates for deletion or adoption, and I cannot in good faith allow that to happen. It's a win-win: you get to make this, and your other articles get improved and subsequently saved. This can even enable you to further tie them into your "parent" articles. This is just my (and potentially other admins') way of showing us that the days of just leaving articles out to dry is behind you, and ultimately showing us you really are dedicated to this.

I believe that this is a relatively easy task, and one that can benefit both your articles and your reputation. My issue is not with you creating it, but in you keeping your promise to raise the quality. I've seen work produced through your dedication. Prove me wrong, and I would be more than happy to see this on the wiki. If the other admins have a better idea, they can add them below. I'm not trying to be an enemy here, but I am trying to push you towards focusing on quality of your current articles so that they aren't jeopardized. -  Wonderweez  ( Talk · Contribs ) 21:51, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

IRC
I want to talk with you about the territories you moved back to mainspace -- User:EDFan 1234  5  23:36, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Then come on IRC as soon as you're available -- User:EDFan 1234  5  00:19, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Also you forgot to change the name in the Orientalia page so it still is about Tyrosh although the name says otherwise -- Quackerpingu   (Talk)   (Contributions)  07:17, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

P.S. I would prefer if you made an actual commitment instead of a vague "I'm busy" so that I know you won't purposefully avoid me when I just want to talk -- User:EDFan 1234  5  20:47, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Melon
Hey Brant, I'm thinking of drawing Melon soon eventually maybe, and based on your knowledge of the source material I wanted to get your input on what you think she would look like. --Chill57181 (Talk • Contributions )  03:54, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello!
Probably won't be here around Christmas, so...

Better one whole week early than a few days late! :D  Penguinpuffdude   It's time for a chat, no?    02:57, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Happy Holidays!
I hope you have a great holiday season!

P.S. While I'm here, I'd also like to remind you there's only a short time left to participate in our Featured Article and Quote of the Year votes by voting and/or nominating! --  C  K   Admin  22:42, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Hope you have a good one! :D  Penguinpuffdude   It's time for a chat, no?    04:44, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Election dates
Hey Brant, so I'm completely lost on the timeline for the 2015(?) Acadian election and I thought I'd ask you about it. I was previously under the impression that based on the (now deleted) page for the election that it took place on January 10th, 2016, but since then a lot of contradictions have come up and obviously since the article was deleted it's not necessarily canon anymore.

Brant's page has a few conflicting dates about it. The opening paragraph says that Brant was elected in 2015, the history section says that he didn't even choose to run until 2015, while the involvement section says that he was elected in 2014 and inaugurated in 2015 which his Chitter feed also agrees with. Also, while not related to that particular election, Brant's article also seems to imply the next election took place in December 2019, and according to Stubal Brant's successor was inaugurated on January 15, 2020, which again Brant's Chitter feed agrees with; I'm assuming that all of Acadia's elections take place around the same time, if not on the exact same dates, so that's why I bring it up.

tl;dr which date was Brant elected president and when was he inaugurated thx

P.S. I don't know if you saw this message or not but just bringing it to your attention again

"There is no civility, only politics" -Sheev Palpatine
Hey Brant, worldbuilding is fun so I wanted to ask about Croft's administration and how it would compare to Esser's - specifically how Croft would feel about Achadia, and if Hockey Manlet would dislike Croft or not for being too similar to Brant policy-wise. Currently I'm thinking Hockey Manlet would tone down the anti-Acadia stuff and Achadia would mostly ignore them as soon as Brant leaves office, but obviously that can change depending on how things with Croft go, especially since I haven't written it yet. --<font color = "FF8400">Chill57181 (<font color = "EAA000">Talk • <font color = "EAA000">Contributions )  16:45, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, Hockey Manlet's probably going to mostly ignore Acadia for the foreseeable future then. As for your questions, I'm pretty much leaving the details of the Electric Shocktopi up to Ed since it is Ed Island's team after all, but I'm assuming they would be part of the Major Hockey League, I don't really know why they wouldn't be. Not sure about the division since I have no idea what makes a team placed in one, assuming it's not entirely arbitrary (although leaning toward Slush because it sounds cool). The team Hockey Manlet played on in high school was the school's team. I don't really know if he would've necessarily pursued a hockey career at all if he wasn't recruited, I doubt he even had plans for his future at all at the time. Hockey Manlet probably would've known about Brant living in Acadia before his bid for the presidency assuming Brant had social media, since he probably would've kept tabs on him through it, but otherwise probably not. Probably no strong opinions on Acadia at the time. I think he would've cheeped about how lame the Acadian hockey teams were and how the Electric Shocktopi were way better, but he probably doesn't care about them too much. Hopefully that answers your questions, let me know if I missed any or you have any more. --<font color = "FF8400">Chill57181 (<font color = "EAA000">Talk • <font color = "EAA000">Contributions )  23:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

California parodies
Like Ed mentioned, Penguifornia is a thing, and I'd personally really rather you put all the California 1:1 parody stuff on the California parody we already have than turning parts of Antarctica into California. So, I wouldn't mind you putting all the cali parody stuff you've written there and doing what you want with it, on a few conditions:
 * Don't balloon the population, there's no need for it.
 * It stays as a colony of Castilla as part of the viceroyalty of Nuevo Castilla per the Castilla article.
 * If you want to change the name of Penguifornia you'd have to get my approval first, I don't rly care about the city/county/other names though if they're mmentioned on other articles it'd be up to you to correct them.
 * Don't instantly make them the #1 Castillan colony at everything, maybe they could have a friendly rivalry with not-Mexico.
 * Please don't remove everything Swiss wrote, maybe consider keeping some of his stuff if it's not complete 1:1 garbage (maybe some of the cities or smth).

Other than that you could do whatever, and it'd keep all of the cali 1:1 parody stuff on the cali 1:1 parody page we already have. If you wanted to keep it 1:1 parody but spanish names you could, or play with the idea of alternative history since it's already spanish cali. What do you say? --  C  K   Admin  22:13, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
