2013-14 First League schedule
Using the Teamopolis round-robin generator, I've created a schedule for the 2013-14 First League. What do you think? 77topaz (talk) 23:10, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

It looks great. Let's use that one then. HORTON11 : •  12:49, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

Should I do the same thing for a bball schedule? Ethandabomb (talk) 21:42, May 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure, if you want to have an active season. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 05:46, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

is there any way to create new templates? Ethandabomb (talk) 01:07, May 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, you just add a page called Template:whatever (fill in the blank) and that's a template.   HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 05:46, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hi horton, I don't know why I'm getting this problem, but when I type in the url of the image, a little 1 with a link appears and takes me to the image. I tried to get it to show the whole thing, and it's still showing the link on the brunantstad eagles page. Tips, suggestion? Thanks Ethandabomb (talk) 22:10, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Parquet Palace
Hi I was wondering if i could get the Cardinals Parquet Palace considered as a National Monument. Also, the Palace needs a map of the museum and i'm not very good with that kind of thing. Thanks!Ethandabomb (talk) 00:58, May 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll see what I can do about the map. And talk to MMunson about monuments; he's in charge, I believe. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 18:53, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Horton, is there going to be a Brunant Supercup this year? 77topaz (talk) 07:17, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

Palm Island
Hi Horton. I'm creating my own micronation wiki and was wondering that when it got started that you could help out. Thanks! Ethandabomb (talk) 22:27, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * My advice: don't do it. Most newer wikinations like Strasland, Tagog and even established ones like Harvian Islands end up inactive, so my suggestion is just to use that time to work on active and established ones. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 15:15, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've already started it and have a fe editors that will be helping out. Ethandabomb (talk) 18:45, June 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * If you stay dedicated despite all problems it should turn out ok. Btw do you have a link? I'd like to check it out. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 19:20, June 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, here it is. wikipalm.wikia.com/wiki/Wikipalm_Wiki. It is the early stages so don't expect much. I could really use some help. Ethandabomb (talk) 01:59, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Horton, there is one thing on my wiki that I could use some help on. I need help on the money, the Isla Pieza. I saw the notes you made for this and other wikis and I just thought i should mention it. Thanks. Ethandabomb (talk) 19:58, June 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Let me see. I've pretty much exhausted all my banknote ideas, so I'll see if I can come up with something. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:12, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Horton, just curious, what program do you use to make your money? Thanks! Ethandabomb (talk) 13:04, June 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * MS paint. Photoshop would be better but don't have it. And I can work miracles with paint, but it takes a ton of time and patience. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:09, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

Can you let Mickael Lindgren transfer to Standard FC and Ivan Mendeita to a Brunant team.MMunson-talk ( Vote SLP ) 04:35, June 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure. But you should say Lindgren joined the club this season. As for Mendieta, you could add him to the Basket Niesburg squad. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 05:58, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Anyhting yet on those bank notes??? Ethandabomb (talk) 15:40, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

If GUSC were to buy Jose Bandier, would Davi Salas then go to Dortmund SFC or St. Marks, and what would then happen to Johan van Grunbeck? 77topaz (talk) 00:04, June 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Van Grunbeck would go to GUSC and Salas would return to St. Marks. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 05:28, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

Is there still going to be voting for the AFC awards? If not, I propose Antonio Florente for the Best Player award, Stanislaus Simon for the Best Keeper award and Sialo Miorna for the Young Player award. 77topaz (talk) 03:36, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

We might need to remove some of the non-essential awards and just focus on those three. HORTON11 : •  13:50, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Do you want me to add the results of the Austria and Southern Arc Islands matches to the Total Football talk page as well? 77topaz (talk) 20:07, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Ok. HORTON11 : •  16:02, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

I added the two reports to the Total Football talk page. 77topaz (talk) 21:25, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Wabba Cross
I, Wabba The I; user of wikinations, can say that you, George the Greek; user of wikinations, are awarded with the Wabba Cross,the highest decoration on the wikinations. I give you this medal today as the second user in history. So, you are awarded with the Wabba Cross since 13 June, 2013. Wabba The I (talk) 18:51, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Your assistance is needed in Lovia good friend
With TimeMaster insisting on undoing my changes and believing my idea to be bad, I really could use your help in defending the ideas and changes I came up with. See the talk page of the Prince Alexander article, the Princess Sylvia article and the pub. For you to agree with me is pretty important. I do not want to get in some sort of edit war over this. Thanks in advance, The glorious First Consul of Rome (talk) 07:40, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well TM isn't gonna budge on the Princess Sylvia page, so we should let him keep that as is as long as he doesn't remove the Prince Alex things.  HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 13:13, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

I think we shouldn't give up on the IWO Games. I already wrote a Freedom Press article about delays in order to explain the lags in uploading of results. I'd like to help out with results, medals etcetera, but how exactly would I go about doing that? 77topaz (talk) 19:39, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

^Hey, Horton, did you see this? 77topaz (talk) 07:39, July 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes. For the results we'd just have to make them up, but for non-team sports I really don't know how we should go abput. Maybe we could ask for Oos' assistance on this, as he proposed much of this, or TIme, who was the drving force behind athletics and swimming. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 14:30, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * For any sports, creating the medal tables/rankings wouldn't be too hard; however, for non-team sports, I guess it is the actual results that are putting you off? 77topaz (talk) 16:57, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the thing. Like how do you determine who wins in the 100m dash? Unlike football where we know which nations are stronger, all the individual sportas are a big ?? And I wouldn't know whow we would go about determining times, distances for athletics and other sports. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:08, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the "actual results" I was meaning just the times and distances etc. I guess that sporters which have their own pages or, for some sports, are even actually mentioned on their nation's list would do better (this is what Wabba seems to have done with the diving competitions, though I'm not sure). E.g. the Lovian players would do well in the fencing, and the Togar Family well in the throwing sports, etc. 77topaz (talk) 19:35, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * ^Hey, Horton, did you see this section as well? :P 77topaz (talk) 07:20, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I guess we can go with that, but I still don't knw how the actual results would play out. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 14:52, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Pseudo-randomly, like the results for the team competitions? 77topaz (talk) 03:45, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well we would need to base it on real swimming/running result times, unlike in football where any score is (at least theoretically) possible. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 13:55, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess we could create the medal tables/rankings first if you aren't sure about the actual result values. For some sports, like diving (which Wabba has already worked on) and gymnastics, round-rankings would suffice. On another point, I think it'd be a good idea to finalise the Bandier deal. 77topaz (talk) 20:14, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * (Are you on a wikibreak? :o ) Oh, also, when do you think the 2013 Brunant Supercup and the first rounds of the 2013-14 Johan II Cup should be? 77topaz (talk) 05:58, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * A bit, plus travel and no internet. So let's get Brunant back up to action. The Supercup can be retroactively held for last weekend, and for the league matches we can follow the Portuguese schedule, as it's the same number of matches. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 01:37, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Welcome back! Oh, by the way (I wrote this before but you probably missed it because of your travel), I think we should finalise the Bandier deal with GUSC. 77topaz (talk) 03:55, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Which was that, I don't seem to remember. Right now I'm starting on the league matchdays, and we should start working on the 2013-14 cup soon. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 03:58, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * We were thinking of transferring Jose Bandier from Dortmund to GUSC, and transferring Davi Salas and Johan van Grunbeck back to St. Marks and GUSC respectively at the same time. The league matchdays won't start for another two weeks, I thought? The first preliminary round of the cup would probably have happened by now, though. I'd be glad to help out with both. I also think it'd be a good idea to think about the Second League: would Standard FC or Sint-Anders Furie have lost in the relegation playoffs, or maybe the league would even have been expanded to twelve teams with the playoff teams (Oceana Grijzestad (because of Oos's involvement) and Sterren Koningstad, maybe?). 77topaz (talk) 04:11, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, let's do the deal. If you can help me out with the cup, it would be great. The league will start two weekends from now and the supercup would be next sunday. Well let's promote one team from the lower leagues. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 04:24, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, do you want me to edit all the corresponding pages (GUSC, Dortmund, St. Marks, the transfers page)? I don't think this season's cup has a page yet, does it? Which team(s) would you be thinking to promote or relegate? 77topaz (talk) 04:52, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, that would be great. I'll add a cup page as well. Well we can promote Oceana Grijzestad and relegate Sint-Anders, what do you think? HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 12:22, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * I added the page. We can use the same 24 teams from the parish leagues (but with new matchups. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 14:57, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * @Promotion: That seems okay, though Standard FC did of course do worse than Sint-Anders in the previous season. What should the fee be for Bandier? 77topaz (talk) 20:22, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well in the playoff even the higher-positioned Standard could lose, as it's just one game. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:26, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Huh? Standard FC finished bottom (not Sint-Anders) in the 2012-13 Second League. Also, I thought the playoffs would be two-legged ties? 77topaz (talk) 03:54, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mistake. The better-placed team can still lose, but I don't really mind who gets demoted. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 12:20, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Who should be the replacement for Bandier in Dortmund's squad? 77topaz (talk) 20:12, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * We could create a foreign player to fill the spot, perhaps an Italian? HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:23, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see you already created one. :P Do you think we should re-exchange (return) Davi Salas and Johan van Grunbeck? 77topaz (talk) 04:33, August 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, I guess so. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 11:31, August 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Would that require an edit to the Transfers page, or not? 77topaz (talk) 03:57, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nope. cause those were just loans. The players return to their clubs at the end of the season. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 13:16, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Would Salas go to SMK's main squad or Alexandria Koningstad? And, you wrote on GUSC's page that their only previous season in the 1. Liga had been 2010-11 - wouldn't they have been promoted at the end of the 1996-97 Second League as well? 77topaz (talk) 03:51, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well no, cause GUSC finished fourth and only the top two get promoted and demoted. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 13:11, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but Helmond RSC and Taurus Niesburg got disqualified that season, leaving GUSC as the second-highest team. :P 77topaz (talk) 21:44, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah sorry, let me fix that. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 23:50, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Would the "four times in twenty years" thing on Total Football's website still be true, then? 77topaz (talk) 02:02, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * It woul be six now. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 12:11, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Two of the meetings would've been cup matches? 77topaz (talk) 20:14, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, a home and away match. First and 2nd division teams do meat in the third round and after. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 00:32, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * When exactly do you think the first matches of this year's Johan II Cup would've been held, and what would the matchups be (the page is still largely empty)? And the Supercup would've been held by now, right? I think we talked about this before, but, do you want me to help you with either of them and (or) the league itself? 77topaz (talk) 05:15, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * For now if you could help me with the cup that would be great. The first cup rounds would follow the same format as previous season's. Using the same parish team but different matches. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 16:08, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll think about that. Do you need help with the Supercup match? That was held last weekend IC, right? 77topaz (talk) 20:16, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

Banknotes
Hey can you teach me or at least give me a few hints and tips about how you personally make the banknotes and coins you have? They look amazing and I just found your comment in Bretherlands on the Brethish Pund page. Gallo Kunarian TALK 00:04, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Well mostly I just modify real design and combine images to create real notes, but other times they are more from scratch. It's easier for mt to do than explain. HORTON11 : •  05:17, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

I understand however can you give me a basic step by step from scratch run through, doesn't have to be complex just the basic idea. Gallo Kunarian TALK 11:47, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Well it really does depend on the tye of not, if you want to go from scratch or base it on a real one. If I make one based on a real note I just remove all the writing and stuff, add a new picture and then new text to go with it. And if you're going to add personalities to the notes, you can try and find one with a guy most similar to the one you're wanting. HORTON11 : •  14:58, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Elections
If you want regular elections, the spanish based constitution and the seperately elected prime-minister allows for that.

If you decide to have realistic terms, I'd suggest terms of four years for all positions: House of Reps, Senate and Prem. Here's an example of a election timetable:
 * 2013 - House of Reps
 * 2014 - First half of Senate
 * 2015 - Prime minister
 * 2016 - Second half of Senate
 * 2017 - House of Reps
 * 2018 - First half of Senate
 * 2019 - Prime minister
 * 2020 - Second half of Senate

If you want to have more frequent elections that might allow new users to become more involved quickly but not too quickly, I'd suggest terms of two years for all positions. Here's another example:
 * 2013, early - House of Reps
 * 2013, late - First half of Senate
 * 2014, early - Prime minister
 * 2014, late - Second half of Senate
 * 2015, early - House of Reps
 * 2015, late - First half of Senate
 * 2016, early - Prime minister
 * 2016, late - Second half of Senate

Wondering what you're thinking, both allow for an active politics but one, maybe more active and better for newcomers although both require people to stick around and contribute. Gallo Kunarian TALK 15:28, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's the thing, we don't get too many new users and even in Lovia they don't tend to come around too often. A few comments on your idea: the PM should be chosen as the leader of the government and not elected (as in most parliaments) and both house/senate elections should be done together. My proposal for these elections would be that:


 * 1) users vote for the house, Lovia-style
 * 2) Create their congresspeople in a list and divide the seats between their major party and minor ones
 * 3) The percentge of house seats is used to calculate the number of senate seats
 * 4) HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 15:52, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * You still need to attract new users, it's vital to do that, and elections at different times help to both get new users involved and stop them from invading your entire political system at once and then disappearing. Okay, so you want the PM chosen but I'd advise against doing the House/Senate elections together and doing them exactly in the manner you have been doing them. Firstly from an IC viewpoint, having elections at different times means that there's more stability politically and it's easier bureaucratically, secondly you'd be ignoring the cultural influences and making the Senate a pointless exercise by essentially having it like a smaller house of representatives. Here's a proposal that doesn't compromise the cultural influences and other points I've raised but is more like what you want:
 * (this isn't really part of the electoral system but it is) Users are registered on an electoral register (that contains their names and primary address), this happens way before the elections and provisions are made for it in the constitution.
 * Users vote for the house, with three votes like the current system (your choice if you want to review this), with seats distributed via either D'hondt (favouring larger parties), Sainte-Lague (favouring smaller parties) or by the Swedish Sainte-Lague system (favouring smaller parties but against really minor parties). Create congress people and divide their seats up to whomever.
 * Users vote for the senate, voting for candidates in order of preference for party lists (from one to however many parties are standing), then we assign the votes accordingly to each parish (to keep in line with what you are doing) and give people extra influence in the parish where their primary home is. Then the party lists get assigned seats based on the results and senate seats are distributed equally amongst those on the list.
 * This system provides not only for a more easily managed system long term, but also gives the cultural and differing elections that will make Brunant seem influenced by Spain and also make Brunant a more interesting political place. Gallo Kunarian TALK 16:15, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * BTW I've simply written this up so that everything is understandable, mimicking your simplified way of putting it, it's like:
 * Users vote for the house, seats get distributed proportionally and people distribute and make congresspeople
 * Users vote for the senate, seats get awarded (to normally the larger parties, like your current system) and people distribute and make senators
 * So don't be fooled into thinking it's more complex. Gallo Kunarian TALK 16:20, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's a nice plan. Maybe the D'hondt system is best, as it is the most-understood method for vote distribution. You have my support to implement this, but do you think we should work with the election we had in April? To do so we would first need to:
 * Get users to divide their seats among the parties they want in order to see which are largest
 * Form a government coalition (for IC reasons, as all parties will have a role in the government)
 * Hold senate elections as you propose (we could even ride the election-fever wave in Lovia and bring people here)

Then again, many of the people who participated in the April elections are inactive. We could hold new ones in order to have more active congresspeople, but we would need to attract other users to the site. What do you think? HORTON11 : •  16:31, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm glad we're moving forwards. :) D'hondt it shall be then! (but that'll need to be put in as a general law not as part of the constitution as constitutions are more of a pointer than a detailed thing, except concerning the practice of government).
 * And maybe we should work with the April election, however it all depends on what kind of terming we are giving the legislative bodies, if we're doing two years then sure work with them for a little while longer then have the election next year for a new two year term and do the senate elections now for the new two year term. The way that'll work then will mean that you have one election per year, providing stability but also allowing for new users to have a go. Concerning activity, maybe we should even hold elections for the House at the same time as the new senate elections just to weed out the inactives and have that House around for a year then re-elect it for a new two year term.
 * Also I think riding election fever is a good idea, but I need to know what you think about the two year term before we continue. Gallo Kunarian TALK 16:48, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * The two years plan is good, so go with it. I'm personally more inclined to have both house and senate elections at the same time, and if you want to weed out inactives we could hold a midterm one in between. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:03, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, two years. Well I'd advise for separate elections, but it's your decision. Gallo Kunarian TALK 17:13, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I meant just holding them in the same time period, as you do in Sylvania with your state house and senate vote. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:17, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand, what I meant was having the senate elections one year and the house elections another, so that you have one election per year rather than two elections in one year then no elections the next year which might cause problems for new users if they arrive right after the big elections, they've got to wait ages until the next one. However as I say it's your choice, I'm just making the argument. Gallo Kunarian TALK 19:49, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I see. Well we could hold midterm elections in between as an alternative. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:09, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Mid-terms always just seem to be a case of making the elections every year but not calling it that. It'd depend what you mean, I think though of course we should add a clause in that allows for congress to have an election if too many people are inactive (well technically it can do that anyway, the Monarch (controlled by you I assume) can do it but the (currently drafted) constitution also states elections must then be held within three months so don't worry you won't be able to go crazy with that rule if you want the modern constitution to keep it ;) ). Gallo Kunarian TALK 20:26, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, lets scrap midterms. As our congress is in essence a parliament of sorts we do have no-confidence votes and the such. So, who not make an unofficial rule that governments should fall approx. every year or so. Elections would then be held to allow new users an opportunity in government and reduce the number of inactives. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:37, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I had an idea, that would fit more in with British influence with a bit of random ideas busting. Treat every year as a session (a legislative year) of Congress, at the start of each session the government has to be 'verified' by a vote of all members. If a majority are in favour of the current government then no need for elections, if not then elections. Note: This would only affect the house as I think we should leave senate with its users.
 * BTW you do know that the law voting system under the currently drafted constitution acts against inactives, don't you? Gallo Kunarian TALK 21:10, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * We can do the British-style verification, it seems like the better solution. And I had no idea of the law against inactive. I'll have to take a look. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 21:17, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, glad to see. Yeah, in the one I'm currently drawing up there's a rule that stops them from hindering legislative progress, I'll explain it tomorrow, I need to sleep now. Gallo Kunarian TALK 21:23, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok. I should get to bed too. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 21:26, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

 * Well you can join one of the Political parties here and if you want you could become a parish governor, in charge of local affairs. We may hold a congressional election later on, depending on what me and kunarian end up discussing with the constitution being made.

Request for help
Hi Horton. I approved your request, and I'm here to help.

For the background, if you find either one large image (to be split into two halves) or two separate images (to be displayed on either side of the background) that you'd like to be used, please link me to them.

As for the main page, obviously I'll implement column tags so that the content properly "wraps around" the ad. As for the content of the page, did you want to keep everything that's currently there and just make it look better? For the headers, I could use a custom font that's similar to the one on the wiki's logo to give a more consistent appearance. Let me know any details you have in mind, and I'll get started soon. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  22:51, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try and find nice enough pictures for the background for you to use. As for the main page, we could add the font if you can find it, that'd be great. I'll probably change the color on the main page to match the blue used on the top links header. HORTON11 : •  13:33, October 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've created Template:Heading using a Google font similar to the logo's font, and using the shade of blue used on the navigation menu. To use the template to create a heading, simply enter and replace Title with the title of the section. Here's an example:


 * JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  16:37, October 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I went ahead with setting up the column tags on the main page, so take a look when you get a chance. Feel free to rearrange sections as needed. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  16:52, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Great, that really is nice. I might just add a create an article creator box to go above the "About Brunant" section. And one more question, could the main page have a more transparent background compared to other pages if we added an image? The only similar thing I could do was using this:

, but the image does not remain fixed. HORTON11 : •  17:19, October 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Using some CSS, I was able to make that be the background image of the main page. The image that's being used (direct link) is set to 20% opacity instead of 30%, as the 30% version was making the text a bit hard to read. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk)  20:52, October 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * The opacity for an image being used as a background image must be done manually with image editing software, such as Photoshop (paid) or GIMP (free), before uploading the image.  doesn't work because it's not a valid CSS property. If you want to use the Donderstad image, I uploaded a 20% opacity version of it here.

Hey, Horton, I have an idea that could make for a bunch of articles. It's about a Brunanter footballer during the 1980's or so, who plays very well and becomes famous, but makes a lot of enemies with gambling syndicates, fellow players and rival fans, and is assassinated/killed because of those factors. 77topaz (talk) 00:59, January 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * This could be an interesting idea. Especially if he was involved in illegal gambling/activities. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 20:23, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. He may have taken bribes from mob-related gambling groups, but then played normally, angering the gambling syndicates that way. 77topaz (talk) 20:49, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * So, what do you think? 77topaz (talk) 20:18, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, and, also, something seems to have become a little muddled-up in the transition of seasons in SM. All the stats from Season 13 are there, but Season 14 seems to have gone completely "missing". 77topaz (talk) 04:29, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

It's fixed now, I think. HORTON11 : •  20:23, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to be for me. For example, the player "career statistics" pages all skip from Season 13 to Season 15. 77topaz (talk) 20:59, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

I noticed, it seems highly suspect. HORTON11 : •  14:28, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

I can see my Season 13 schedule, but the Season 14 one just shows as being completely blank. Does something like that usually happen in season transitions? 77topaz (talk) 20:18, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

The SM situation seems to have changed again. Now I can only see seasons 14 & 15, but nothing older. 77topaz (talk) 09:34, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

That really is strange. HORTON11 : •  14:22, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Horton, I know this may sound really greedy or really dumb in general, but I'm making a page about this guy named Joshua Glasgow. And in the article, he is one of the main starters of this war called the 2nd Brunanter War of Brunant. And once I'm with Glasgow's independent article, would you mind giving me a hand in creating the battles and some tiny bits of information of the war while I give all the extremely important information? And don't worry, I'll hook you up with the article to get introduced to the character and the setting :).

I've an interesting idea which I'd like your opinion on. It involves a club in the Parish Leagues, founded relatively recently (less than a decade ago) - currently I'm thinking Caroline Park FC - which has gotten a partnership with a larger foreign club - currently I'm thinking A.C. Ciconia in Juliana, which would help with activity in Juliana as well - allowing them to get players loaned from the larger club and also possibly to sign some of the free agents in the Brunanter league, which would strengthen the club's performances significantly. What do you think? 77topaz (talk) 03:37, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

Today, Arabian managed a remarkable 8-2 victory over FC Drenthe! Here's a little editorial piece about the result, possibly useful for one of the football magazines/pages, from pundit David de Wit:

At the beginning of the season, many critics, including Total Football, said that Arabian FC's squad was aging and they probably would not do as well as last season - a gross oversimplification, as today's result has proven.

''It is true, of course, that several of Arabian's key players are aging - Mark Olsen, Alfred Kiessling and Hamad Abdullah are 33, 34 and 36 years old respectively. But what critics seem to have overlooked is that there is a rising younger generation at Arabian as well, including Ibrahim Ghrabi, Johan Nietsmeyer, Amer Abdelkadir and Mustapha Mokrani, none of whom are more than 25 years old. These players each have formidable talent (and together contributed seven of the eight goals in today's 8-2 win over FC Drenthe), but have seemingly been overlooked and underestimated even by Arabian's coach Juan Elvira. For many of the preceding First League matches this season, he's fielded rather conservative line-ups, emphasizing the older players and giving the aforementioned four less opportunities, and correspondingly, Arabian FC has struggled in the league, sitting in 13th place after Matchday 9. But today, Elvira fielded a different line-up, possibly inspired by the team's form in the Johan II Cup, and today's result is a strong deviation from the previous trend, showing, finally, a symbiosis of this younger generation (who may have been at the club for more than a year now each, but have yet to hit their prime), a proof that Arabian FC will not fade away with the generation of Olsen and Kiessling. I even dare to say that if Elvira keeps these players in the line-up and they continue to develop, Arabian FC could easily make up for their bad start to the season and even do better than they did last season. Sure, circumstances were in their favour today - after Hans Ottman's goal, when Arabian were leading 3-2, Godmund Huber had to be substituted off because of a minor injury and Dario Montes was red-carded - but this is still one of the largest margins of victory we've had in the First League in years and Arabian's performance is certainly worth praise.''

A final note - it is perhaps slightly unfortunate that only one of the aforementioned four young talents, Johan Nietsmeyer, is eligible to play for the Red Dragons, but after today's result, you can be sure that Willem Bergher will have his eyes on him.

Another pundit article, based on this matchday's results:

''Last week, Arabian FC made a superior performance against FC Drenthe, winning by a remarkable 8-2 score. They failed to repeat that this Saturday, losing 0-3 at home to Dortmund SFC. One likely factor is that the team's manager, Juan Elvira, fielded a rather different line-up against Dortmund SFC than against FC Drenthe.''

''In my article about last week's 8-2 match, I mentioned a quartet of particularly well-performing players, a rising new generation for Arabian - Ghrabi, Nietsmeyer, Abdelkadir and Mokrani. However, of these, only Johan Nietsmeyer was amongst the starters in Saturday's match against Dortmund.''

(This is unfinished because of an interruption. I'll have to continue working on it.)

77topaz (talk) 04:47, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I was going to write a bit about Charlestown's 5-1 loss in that article too, but I ran out of time before. 77topaz (talk) 01:48, November 5, 2014 (UTC)

I'll continue the article about this weekend:

''Fielding a lot of older players like Alfred Kiessling, Mark Olsen, Herman Dankert and Facundo Eroza, Arabian FC made only a middling performance up front, unable to do much with the chances they did get; and Hamad Abdullah and Joe Manley made multiple errors in defence, allowing Dortmund to get enough shots on goal for three goals, despite some heroic saves from Piers Gertman. There are only two players from Arabian who I could say played well in the match, Johan Nietsmeyer and Hussein El Tahri, but their efforts alone weren't enough, especially considering the high-quality opposition.''

''On Dortmund's side, Robin Nylund took the cake, grabbing two goals, while Ibra El-Zein was somewhat subdued. Overall, their performance was convincing, if not as spectacular as, for example, Arabian was last week. Though, here, they clearly played better than the messy Arabian team.''

''Juan Elvira has so far refused to speak to press about Saturday's match, despite many fans being critical about his tactical decisions. However, Daniel Matheson, one of his assistant coaches, has said: "Because of Dortmund being a very skillful team, and also one of the fans' local rivals, we decided to field a more experienced line-up rather than an experimental one. We thought that taking any risks against Dortmund wouldn't go down well with the fans, and wouldn't necessarily help on the field against a team like Dortmund."''

''Another team left licking their wounds this weekend is Charlestown FC, who lost 5-1 to Grijzestad Strijders. Charlestown FC haven't done well in general this season, but with Bradley Solomon having received a minor injury and Olivier Kuyt absent due to illness, they were forced to field substitutes up front. Without Charlestown's forwards making chances, Grijzestad were able to get a lot of possession, and the pressure fell on Charlestown's defence - who haven't been able to live up to former player Hans Oudberghen, and today cracked under pressure. Grijzestad's performance wasn't actually very good - they made multiple mistakes and missed chances of their own - but Charlestown's players, especially Henry Harlow, Hubert House and Daniel Arbena, made so many errors that Grijzestad got a full five goals.''

''Charlestown FC should definitely be worried. One just has to imagine what the scoreline could have been had Grijzestad's attack been stronger, like Dortmund SFC or the Arabian line-up that won 8-2 last week. And, even though Solomon and Kuyt will likely return next week, their over-reliance on their forwards is something Charlestown will need to work on if they want to avoid relegation.''

Two questions
77topaz (talk) 09:37, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Would Chester Forest FC have been founded before or after Chester FC?
 * 2) Would Chester Forest FC be based in Chester, or somewhere else in the Chester Valley region?

Well it's not related to Chester FC. HORTON11 : •  13:33, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

I know that (Chester Parish FC is the reserve team of Chester FC, not Chester Forest FC). But that doesn't actually answer what I was asking. I thought it would be useful to know for creating that article. 77topaz (talk) 20:25, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

Alright.


 * 1) Could be before.
 * 2) It'd be nice to see it somewhere else (in the region). HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 17:57, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

Koningstad & Patriam City
Hey Horton,

Can Koningstad and Patriam City become twin cities?

Niels20020 (Talk) 13:50, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

PS: If you want to make a Brunanter embassy in Patriam is that also possible, please in the neighbourhood Centre. If you make a embassy in Patriam, I will also make a Patriam embassy in Brunant.


 * You might need to reduce the size and population of Pratriam. Our wikination "world" consists of small countries with under 2 million people. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 13:52, October 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * But my country is different, it's bigger so our population is more. Niels20020 (Talk) 14:20, October 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Usually we try not to do that, cause much bigger would interfere that much more with the real world. In the past people have created countries with your population/size but they don't end up part of our wikinations and the IWO. HORTON11 : Email_icon.jpg • follow_me.PNG 14:24, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

Can we also have Phaluhm as a full member? Lancededcena (talk) 17:11, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

Phaluhm (IWO)

 * 1) ASEAN and ACD - Joining the IWO will allow your buisness and economy grow in to South East Asian countries and other Asian Countries between the ACD.
 * 2) Pacific Trade - Joining the IWO will improve your Asia-Pacific Trade as we are a great trade route from Asia-Pacific to the Americas.
 * 3) Resources - We have a vast supply of oil, gold and copper. We also plant bananas, pineapples and mangos, and we ship them off to other countries.
 * 4) Relations with other Asian countries - Since we are a member of APEC, ASEAN and ACD, your country can benifit on making trade deals, starting new companies etc.
 * 5) Economy - We are one of the richest countries, due to oil, gold and other sucessful companies like Air Phaluhm, PTV and the Kaliybatan Corporation, which owns buisnesses such as Pham-Su. FlyPhoueck, Themn, Tempest and Liberalty Bank.
 * Hows this? Lancededcena (talk) 15:02, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

WNFA
Hey Horton,

Phaluhm Phoueck and Patriam would like to become member of the WNFA. 77topaz said you're the mainly person in charge of the WNFA, so I ask to you if we can become members :)

 * Can Patriam now become member too? Football is very good developed in the country now (if you compare it with Phaluhm Phoueck) Niels20020 (Talk) 13:20, October 19, 2015 (UTC)

Strange question
This might be a strange question, but I still remember that moment you received a global block. You apparently deleted a lot of pages on a wiki and I am asking myself how many pages you can delete as an admin before you get a global block. I am asking this because Wikistad needs a cleaning and I want to delete a lot of pages and now I am wondering how many pages I can delete before I get that global block. So? How many pages you deleted? Wabba The I (talk) 16:47, November 18, 2015 (UTC)

I do not remember (though maybe around 20) nor do I know what the policy is. HORTON11 : •  17:22, November 18, 2015 (UTC)

I delete around 30 pages per day on Wikistad, but I keep on editing good pages as well. Wabba The I (talk) 19:36, November 18, 2015 (UTC)

Mariana (OpenGeofiction) news
Hey Horton,

Do you mind if I would be in charge for the news of Mariana on https://ognnews.wordpress.com/ ? I would like it and if you would have some important news you could tell me.

Greetings, Niels20020 (Talk) 19:16, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

Btw, I would like to tell this on the OpenGeofiction Wiki, but I still have problems with my account there :(

That's no problem. Well at the moment there isn't much to tell other than the theme park near Benicar being part of a Freedemian group now. HORTON11 : •  18:21, January 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, shall I write a news-article about the theme park? And if yes, what has to be in it? Niels20020 (Talk) 19:33, January 22, 2016 (UTC)

Mariana
Are the motorways meant to stop dead as they currently do, or are they meant to be linked up somehow? Also, your avatar seems to have stopped working. 77topaz (talk) 19:51, January 19, 2016 (UTC)

Nah, those motorways will go somewhere; we're not like some people who start their roads and they end up only half-paved or incomplete :P HORTON11 :  •  18:22, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Okay. Do you have a plan for that already? 77topaz (talk) 19:12, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Not really. Feel free to help expand it. Provinces/capitals would probably be added based on that. HORTON11 : •  19:15, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, so you haven't precisely defined the borders of those yet (apart from the Benicar region)? 77topaz (talk) 19:25, January 21, 2016 (UTC)

No, not yet. If you can help out with that, it would be much appreciated. HORTON11 : •  16:41, January 23, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, let's see, the following provinces are listed on the wiki: Okay, so there are four provinces yet to "place". Notably, there aren't any in the eastern area around Altilla yet (this is a large area, so it could be two provinces), or in the southwestern area around Granida. There could also possibly be another province between Barzona and Carante. 77topaz (talk) 19:31, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Aranzia - I don't see the capital Denia anywhere yet, so, where would this province be?
 * Benicar Region - already defined.
 * Carante - province around Carante, in the central part of the country.
 * Castelo Miranda - province around Miranda; would probably cover the large northwestern peninsula.
 * Barzona - province around Narvas; would probably cover the area across the bay from Castelo Miranda and Benicar.
 * Pabella, Santa Maria, Vianna - not yet known, like Aranzia.
 * Ravaner - Tangres is located at the south end of Benicar, so this province would probably cover the area immediately south of Castelo Miranda.

^Hey Horton, did you see this (or, for that matter, Niels's question below)? 77topaz (talk) 20:29, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Horton? Are you there, Horton? :P 77topaz (talk) 19:34, January 31, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, busy with studies but now I have. Feel free to add the other provinces where you see it best. I never purposefully defined them in order for us to have the freedom to design the map better. HORTON11 : •  15:30, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Some new questions about Mariana
Hey Horton,

I've got three questions about Mariana for you:
 * Shouldn't we also have are boundaries like Riko has them? I mean that we also have some water in it.
 * Can you (or someone you know) create a logo for Radio Televisión Mariana, so I can use it for the OGN-News Center?
 * Shall we bid for the 2018 International Foosball world Cup? (See: https://ognnews.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/countries-other-than-freedemia-can-bid-to-host-international-foosball-world-cup-in-2018/) And if yes, which city would you like? I was thinking of Benicar or Carante (but that city doesn't has an airport).

Greetings Niels20020 (Talk) 11:47, January 24, 2016 (UTC)

Your first question is a little hard to understand. Are you talking about lakes or coastlines or something else altogether? 77topaz (talk) 19:29, January 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm talking about the borders of Mariana. Maybe it should not be the same as the coastline, but in the sea, like Riko (and a lot of other countries) has them. Niels20020 (Talk) 06:28, January 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay, that makes sense. OGF has some specific rules about that. 77topaz (talk) 19:01, January 25, 2016 (UTC)

 * I am unsure of how to do that. But if you or Topaz can do so, go ahead.
