Re: Your changing of 'US Alliance' to "Union of Sovereigns"

The correct, official title is US Alliance, not "Union of Sovereigns". That is the way it ought to be appear in NSWiki. I ought to be the undisputed expert on this; I brought the three founding regions together on this project and came up with the name.

Hmmm. I based the title on the Charter and Moldavi's welcome thread. I'll be happy to move it back (or you can) if you can point me to a link.

Incidentally, thanks for all of your contributions - you're really helping to flesh out the Gameplay side of NSwiki. --Goobergunchia 12:18, 5 Oct 2004 (GMT)

There has always been some dispute about the name. "Union of Sovereigns Alliance" was what I came up with as a sort of prototype to something that would fit the acronym US Alliance. Unfortunately no one brought up a better name (even though I had meant for someone to do that) and nobody thought maybe "United Sovereigns" would be better, and it was adopted with little fanfare. Since the beginning the New Sparrowians wanted to call it the "Union of Sovereigns" in formal terms, but preferred to call itsimply "the Union". Because a Sparrowian created the message board that's what gets more spotlight.

It's no problem. If/when I ever get around to writing about the Atlantic (a project I've put off for almost a full year now, truth be told) I like to think it may be a major achievement for NSWiki. Until I get off my duff to do that I'll be happy working on all the other stuff, like the Pacific histories. That is, unless Frisbeeteeria totally eclipses me in every aspect :ph3ar:.

Frisbeeteria has neither the Gameplay nor Roleplay background to flesh out the backstory of this game, but I'm one hell of an editor. I'll take care of the basics and categorise stuff that falls through the cracks, but once it's all in place I'm likely to fade rapidly. -- Frisbeeteria 03:22, 6 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Goober, you might want to have a chat with Kaukolastan. He's created about 20 new Categories today, pretty much all having to do with subdividing weaponry. -- Frisbeeteria 20:49, 7 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Me and My Topics

While I would like to have helped with the creation of an organized weapons and technology database, it seems that my efforts at categorizing have not been appreciated. I am vaporizing my sub-topics as I type (well, before and after, that is). I'm going to kill all the links, and move the few articles I feel are truly NS only related into the broad categories already existing. In addition, my pure-tech posts will be redirected to the full Wikipedia equivelants. Just trying to help in my area of expertise, so I'm sorry about the trouble.  :(
