you can change your nation before the game begins, but once it starts, you are stuck with it.

I joined as Kentucky, is that ok?

Also how do I make algorithims (since players need to make thEIR own algorithims) -QC

Nominations for Mod
Upvoteanthology

I would like to nominate Upvoteanthology for modship in SSSND Hail Sean, Khan of Khans! (Free potatoes) 18:42, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

I second that. Spartian300 (talk) 08:07, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Up is legit. She helps out a lot on things, and is pretty enthusiastic as well. I say go for it. Saturn120 19:25, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Wait, up is a girl? Spartian300 (talk) 19:37, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Spar, yes, upvote is a girl. Also I support her modship Firesofdoom 00:14, April 17, 2015 (UTC)

I second this. ;)   Oi mate,   did someone say Texas? 

TechnicallyIAmSean
I would like to nominate TechnicallyIAmSean for Modship in Shattered Stars and Stripes: The New Deal, having experience with the previous games of the Franchise and sometimes, his witty personality. Graham Industries. Creating the future, today. (talk) 19:26, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

I accept this nomination and thank Ace for nominating me. Hail Sean, Khan of Khans! (Free potatoes)

19:32, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

Daxus Inferno
I'd like to nominate myself. I feel this game has too few mods to handle this many players and problems may soon arise. I'm a generally fair mod and mainly spend my time responding as NPCs, cleaning up ASB plots, and making sure the map is always up-to-date. Morgan Freemen but With A Lamer Voice (talk) 20:21, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

I have like 0 athority, but I second that

Bruh, this is a vote. You would at least have 1 authority. Hail Sean, Khan of Khans! (Free potatoes)

This isn't a vote, this is a fourm where people speak for or against potential mods. #PraiseRoosevelt. 20:06, April 21, 2015 (UTC)

People's Republic of Washington upgrade request
I would like to request that (due to the Washington-Oregon merger), that the nation be provided access to a tier change, due to the economic, military and technological combination of the 2 nations. As a result, it should be correct that a Tier Upgrade could be done, and on behalf of the moderators, I would love to request this.

Need to know what tier you are looking to enter.

Californian Federation
The Californian Federation has been improving it's military since the start of the game and has also gained some military stuff from the recent annexation of Washington. It's definitely as developed as Texas regarding military, and most likely nearing Ohio. It also started as a tier 1 in military IIRC, but then was dropped from that tier. In general, California should go up another tier.

California was never tier 1 in military, at least I never put it there. And to say that you should move up in tier cause You are more developed than Virignia and Michigan isn't enough. You need to be as developed as the ASA, Union of the South, or Ohio to be in tier 1. #PraiseRoosevelt. 21:16, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, put the focus on the wrong part. Hail Sean, Khan of Khans! (Free potatoes) 21:29, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

I am still hesitant to move you up because most of the Military-Industrial build up in Califronia took place During WW2 by the Federal Governmnet. I would honsetly say Tier 2 or making a tier 1.5 would be better fit for California. #PraiseRoosevelt. 13:51, April 28, 2015 (UTC)

Seems legit Hail Sean, Khan of Khans!  (Free potatoes) 14:18, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

Michigan
I want an upgrade for Detroit please. It has been the focus of my rebuilding efforts. Spartian300 (talk) 21:21, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

Detroit will recover when your recent war penelty goes down. Beyond that It is already as high as it can go. (DC is the only +5 that is allowed) #PraiseRoosevelt. 13:53, April 28, 2015 (UTC)

Military
The two Pennslyvanias where, when united, a tier 1 nation in military. Obvioulsy, because they are subjagated to the ASA, they where imited in military. However, with the recent reunion of Pennslyvania, I belive that they should move up to tier 3. They have recived military gear and contracts from the ASA proper, a tier 1 nation. In terms of Manpower, United Pennslyvia outmanned to former Michigan Republic, a tier 2 nation.
 * From:4
 * To:3

Tier 3 seems fair, granted(if Up or Dax approves) Hail Sean, Khan of Khans!  (Free potatoes) 14:18, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

Industry
For many of the same reasons above, I belive the United Pennslyvania should be at least tier 3 in industry.
 * From:3.5
 * Tier 3

Ditto as above, tier 3 is cool, if Up or Dax approves its garanted Hail Sean, Khan of Khans!  (Free potatoes) 14:18, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

military
The reason is mainly because of military buildup and new territory. I'm pretty sure The tiers were redone when I only possessed Illonois and 1/2 on Missori. Since then I have gained all of Missori, Wisconsin, Iowa, plus the upper peninsula as well as several protectorates. The newly annexed territory's seem like they should be able to bump me up to at least tier 1.5, or maybe even tier 1. That combined with the fact my military has been built up is my reasoning for a higher tier in military.
 * from: tier 2
 * to: tier: 1.5 or 1

1.5 granted #PraiseRoosevelt.

Military
I have been rapidly expanding and modernising our military (its current size is 10,000) for the past several years, aswell as improving our naval and airforce capacity. Not to mention I have also been researching new military tanks and personal carriers. So I think that I should be upgraded to reflect my recent military developments. Dreamcaster1 (talk) 08:47, April 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * From tier 5
 * To: tier 4.5

So beacuse of the Popular revolt, The Coalition can now take 14% in 3 years and 17% in 4

Battle Lines Stall, and Ohio takes 14% of Michigan before Michigan forces can stop them. Counter attack is needed for Michigan to reclaim any land. but I would say that this war is over.

Can I counter attack? Spartian300 (talk) 15:48, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

Probably the last war to use this algo.

I think Iowa might deserve popular revolt bonus, but that's up to the mods. Also, I'm not sure how development works for NPCs. Shikata ga nai! 23:43, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

Who are you attacking here?

West Virginia
So I'm in charge of Virgnia, and I was invading West Virginia. But Pennsylvania, which I'm assuming didn't see that I invaded, asked West Virginia to join with them. They did join with Pennsylvania peacefully. I am opposed to this for many reasons. First of all, it makes far more sense for them to join with Virginia (which was randomly rejected), as we are extremely similar, and our only differences come from the civil war 90 years ago. Also, I invaded. Does this mean that I'm now at war with Pennsylvania? Or can I cancel the invasion?

You could cancel. Best you do. You could also help me fight Ohio, and I might be able to help you gain some monies. Just go help Kentucky. Spartian300 (talk) 19:40, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

If you withdraw, I can secure you an alliance and security with PA, with trade deals included. Plus, I'll grant you a county border if you do. Saturn120 20:09, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

So if both sides agree, then you can back out of the war. It appears that Penn is alright with back out of the war, so if you two reach an agreement #PraiseRoosevelt. 19:58, April 21, 2015 (UTC)

Arguments against the Texan-Californian Union
Alright so don't have a lot of time so I will just summarize my arguments for now. I also have rebuttals to Up's arguments presented in chat should they be needed. UNless you can convince me that this union is alright, then it is not going to fly. #PraiseRoosevelt. 17:06, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Two Players as one nation has never been allowed in the SSS series, so one player here would have to give up there nation. As Up expalined on chat, this is two states forming one nation, not an alliance. Remeber that mergers like these have only ever happened on the final turn of the game. We have had players play as vassals before (See SSS1) but never play as a district in another nation.
 * 2) The Larger economy (California) would be forced under a smaller economy (Union of the South).
 * 3) It would break the game. These are the two largest nations West of the Mississippi and allowing them to merge would hand everything West of the river over to Up (remeber Sean would have to give up his nation).
 * 4) Reforming the US in any form would be unpopular. Remeber all of these states left the US on there own terms, unlike the pervious 2 SSS games
 * 5) Sets a precedence for 2 things: Vassal Spam and Multiplayer Nations.
 * 6) Up's own strawpoll that she created (despite the fact that only the opinions of nuetral mods matters) voted no against the union.

If we cannot both play, then it's a no-go. I'm not giving up my nation under any condition. So yeah, this is solved. Let's focus on some other stuff. Hail Sean, Khan of Khans! (Free potatoes) 17:47, April 21, 2015 (UTC)

Summary of the Results for the Northeastern war
So things in the North Eastern War have kinda gotten muddy, so here is a quick summary of the current results #PraiseRoosevelt. 02:31, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Kentucky collapses to Coalition and Pennslyvania forces on after this year.
 * Litterally 0 changes in Illinois
 * Michigan has lost 14% of it's homeland to coalition efforts
 * Michigan had a military coup and is some kind of military dictatorship

Both Indiana and Illinois have dropped out, so I can now focus on Ohio with my allies now, right? Spartian300 (talk) 08:02, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

You don't have any Allies remaining. Kentucky is Dead. Missouri is fighting Illinois, and Wisconsin is dead.

Wisconsin is WAY stronger then that, Edge. They beat Illinois, and they end up losing because the score is 4? That ain't right! Spartian300 (talk) 15:29, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

Also, if Spar chooses to Counter attack, it will use the new algorithm instead of the old.

Spar, the massive front and recent war penalties you inflicted on Wisconsin mean it was practically impotent. No surprise it lost. Shikata ga nai! 20:04, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

Given that Iowa controls Wisconsin, I'm guessing its tiers should be those of Wisconsin, which are all significantly higher than the ones used here. Also, I'm activating total war, which means I get a 1.2 multiplier.. Shikata ga nai! 11:02, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE WORKED AROUND THIS AND TRIED TO HELP ME FIRST, COULD YOU? I NEED THOSE WEAPONS!!!!!!! Spartian300 (talk) 11:16, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

I got invaded by a nation which had promised not to invade me. So no, we couldn't have worked around this. Also Fires, it's "Illinois" and not "Illonis". Shikata ga nai! 11:30, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction kras, I'll add it in a minute. Second of all, i have added the front penelty on kras's side of the algo. This is because Dax has declared war on him, but I have yet to do that algo.

F*** it all, I am invading Kras, then I start taking Toledo!!!! Spartian300 (talk) 12:46, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

I'll fix this later, but Kras brings up a valid point that needs to be considered if it hasn't already. Remeber that you guys can't collapse Kras because this is a nonleathal attack. #PraiseRoosevelt. 13:03, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Since Fires is letting Dax move through his territory, it's all happening on the same front, and no penalty is applied. Shikata ga nai! 14:02, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Not nessacery. I don't know how much you Gave to Kansas, but there is still plenty of room for Two fronts.

Actually, if you two would stop measuring dicks, and start giving me supplies, then I will aid whoever helps me the most against their opponent. Deal? Spartian300 (talk) 14:12, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Spar, if Dax invades through the same territory as Fires, it's happening on the same front. Also, I can't reasonably aid you while fighting a huge war, because I'll get penalties. Help me now, and I'll lead in the war against Ohio later.Shikata ga nai! 14:19, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Kras, we can still fight on two fronts. It would make sense that I attacked further too the north of Missori, because it is closer to your center of power. Meanwhile, it would make sense for Dax to attack in the south, as that way it's closer to him. I'm not exacully sure if that's what would happen, but we will get edge on it, and he can decide.

Just make peace, and whoever aids me the most, I will aid in the coming Iowa-Illinois war. Spartian300 (talk) 14:44, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Ahem. So What kras says is correct. This war is being fought in Missouri primarly. For all intensve purposes, Confed of Western Miss and Illinois are fighting on the same front. Now if this was the Almost 3 algo it would be different.

I spelling mistakes are  so bad that I almost want to switch sides Daxus the Harbinger of Lameness (talk) 03:25, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Fires, I'm not sure if you understand the concept of a two-front war. A two-front war only occurs when one nation is fighting in two geographically separate locations (i.e. separated by neutral countries, oceans, mountain ranges, etc.). Germany fought a two-front war in WWI. So did France in the later Napoleonic Wars. However, a two-front war cannot exist when those fronts are not geographically separated, and when the same two nations are fighting on the same continent with no geographical obstacles in between, as we have here.

Also, my recent wars penalty isn't -22. I have no idea where that came from. It should be lower than the penalty for Illinois and CWM.Shikata ga nai! 12:30, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Okay, the reason there is a two front war is because in addition to the Missori front, I began an attack in Wisconsin. That, I think, qualifys as two fronts, but I'm horrible at algos. Second, the reason your recent wars penelty is -22 kras. Becaus e last year, you had -12, if I am not mistaken. because you activated toltal war, that is another -10, which should be factored in. Lastly, you can do the algos yourself if you want. I mean, I will continue doing them, but at the same time I don't want to piss anyone off.

In WWI, if Germany launched an offensive against Russia in Romania, it still occurred on the same front as a simultaneous offensive happening in Poland, because the same two countries were fighting on a geographically continuous front. Since there is fighting happening along a front stretching continuously from Wisconsin to Missouri, it cannot qualify as a second front. Also, Dax fought a war against Alabama, so that penalty needs to be factored in. Shikata ga nai! 16:33, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Not to mention I get the defensive line bonus (+5), my tiers still need to be raised to those of Wisconsin, and the new algo needs a new chance calculation.Shikata ga nai! 16:41, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

This is one front. Spartian300 (talk) 17:38, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

It is not. Illinois and CWM invading in Missouri and Illinois is invading in Wisconsin as well.

Disscussion
Before I begin, there are a couple of things that need to be adressed. These two factors lead Penn's gov to be unpopular. Now lets move on to the next part. Sat has urged all free nations to get inolved in the war. remeber 2 things with this, especially you, my fellow mods. Deleware holds 0 geopoltical improtance. It isn't DC. Doesn't have a large industrial capacity, resource base, or population. Few States, beyoned Pennslyvania and Maybe Maryland, would care about this.
 * 1) Socalist revolts. Upvote Gave Penn State Socalist Revolts, which Sat embraced. They took Philledalphia and then spread throughout the state. Becuase nothing has been mentioned about the revolts, they are still ongoing. This is something that was not noticed in the last algo, which means the war in Kentucky also needs to be redone.
 * 2) Remeber that Politicans in Penn state urged the nation to invade Deleware. Sat chose not to, and the nation fell to the ASA

Also remeber that ASA troops have been stationed on the Border for several years, gun boats in lake Erie and off the coast, meaning that he has to go through defensive lines to get to me.

Remeber that Sat's development has been mostly just saying "Military and Economy Improve". As I already dissucssed with fellow mod Up, Navy needs to be mentioned in some extent. Military and Economy is simply too vague. sat was also told this on chat before he invaded.

I hope that this justifaction stops people from making claims about algo rigging. #PraiseRoosevelt. 01:40, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Sign you posts please, and if you mean "Major Enemy" than no. the ASA and Virginia are not major enemies. #PraiseRoosevelt. 16:25, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

To respond to something Vat put in his turn: Remeber that the ASA's  Military tier is higher than Virgina's, so while he can put in his turn that he attacks the bases and blockades, there is no garuntee that he can break through the blockade or harm the bases. #PraiseRoosevelt. 19:25, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Expansion of the Map
So there may be a few questions about the expansion of the map. Here is the place to Awnser them. The first thing is that you only get 1 switch. The second thing is that this is an expirment. If I think it is going horribly wrong, then I will remove mexico and canada form the map. The Third thing to note is that The map of the Us will remain in use because it is more accurate, however there will be a second map that shows the entirty of north America.

What can be influenced by me? Spartian300 (talk) 07:48, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

Are these new nations on the map playable to players who may have been defeated? Saturn120 11:04, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

if you lost your nation, you can repick. And none. You can't influence across national boundaries in this game. #PraiseRoosevelt. 19:04, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

Well you can, but none of the states that border you. And you have no Hegemony.

Switching
I'd like to switch from Virginia to Ontario. Is this OK?

Influencing Penelty
So People are starting to use influecing as their primary expansion choice. As a result, there will be a penelty introduced for influencing several nations at once or in rapid sucsession. If this isn't enough, then there will be other messures used to prevent abuse of this.
 * If you have peacefully influenced a nation in the past 10 turns:+1 turn for influenecing
 * If you have peacefully inluenced 2 nations in the past 10 turns:+3 turns for infulencing
 * If you have influenced 3 nations in the past 10 turns:Can not influence.

Does this count for influence started before this rule was implemented? Hail Sean, Khan of Khans! (Free potatoes) 13:58, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

As an observer here, I think there should be algo pentalties as well with influencing. Saturn120 11:26, April 30, 2015 (UTC)

Rules on Switching Nations
So if you have died, you may re-pick without warrant. If you are currently a nation and want to switch, you can do so once. #PraiseRoosevelt. 13:49, April 29, 2015 (UTC)
