  1. Triple Calamity: What if the Three Most Important Men in the Executive Branch Died in One Night?

    Most writers throw a curveball or two. Mr Q is a knuckleball artist. The ball that Willie Stargell once said hitting it was like nailing Jello to a wall. If the Senate ever does elect a vice president is he automatically become president then? A lot of people should probably vote for Custer...

  2. The Denouement in Chicago: An Alternate 1932 DNC

    Could FDR still be the nominee? I mean 1924 to 103 ballots, and unknown named Franklin Pierce somehow became the candidate in 1852, this is not a party that does things normally, and unlike in 1924 they have a real shot at winning no matter who they throw in there but that was true in 1852 also...

  3. Sports What Ifs.

    Bill Veeck had to sell the Indians in 1949 to pay off the settlement for his divorce - but his marriage had been on the rocks since before he entered WW2, and he tried to win back his wife 3 times; the 3rd time she refused. The 2nd time was at the '46 WS where he brought the famiy in for a party...

  4. Sports What Ifs.

    That would be great. I guess you can't really invent one, huh? From what I understand that's what happened with baseball mogul, the inventor decided that there was no game that really covered the financial aspect of sports as well and so he developed one. I'm not sure if out of the park has a...

  5. Sports What Ifs.

    I think I recall from the forums a few years back that they did make it so that you could turn trades off or something. But I could be thinking of another game. How does the park tends to be a good middle ground because baseball mogul has a lot of depth and is great for the financial end but...

  6. Sports What Ifs.

    Yeah you need a specific point of departure. We've discussed nineteen eighty three every which way but loose but that's because they're were specific ideas on what would happen if Houston lost that 1 game they w9n and picked a number one instead or a number of other things had happened with the...

  7. Sports What Ifs.

    Someone mentioned 1991, I definitely think Dallas would take Favre because he was a Southern kid and that would please Jimmy Johnson. He wouldn't even have to be as great as he became by the middle 90s because Emmitt Smith could lead that team for a couple of years yet. If the Packers already...

  8. To Delve and Spin – A Medieval English timeline

    This lends itself to some interestingphilosophical discussions. If, as you said, there isn't anything really new being created in the way of how the Enlightenment and other thigns created new ideas, then the King, as sovereign ruler, would have the natural right to lead the army in battle...

  9. AHC: 10 million members of AlternateHistory.com by 2010

    I think you'll find this solution to be plausible, since you don't mention how active they are. Because there was some Monumental growth that alternate history just needs to be tied to. The concept of alternate history takes hold in the Proto internet of the lady teen hundreds when so many...

  10. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    LOL, thanks. Yeah at least when I speak into my device I can have it larger print and it usually understands what I'm saying. :) Typing, there's no chance :) Also, before I decided to go all the way back to mark twain, I was going to say that Will Rogers probably first came up with the Talking...

  11. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    This sounds really good. Even if the whole last third of the 19th century is about getting "good Indians" away from "bad Indians," just acknowledging there are good ones will be a big step forward. South Dakota as a 2nd Oklahmoma would work, too, becasue originally Dakota was split into 2...

  12. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Wow, thanks for sharing! I always figured because he led military against them that he hated them, but perhaps with Lincoln's command to keep them on the Union side, Pope might be best up there and elsewhere.

  13. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Did Ord think well of Narive Americans - or at least better than many? If so, he'd be the perfect one to send off to deal with them. As for Grant, all it takes is a few meetings with LIncoln or Stanton where they say, "You know, it looks like you're putting a bit too much trust in 'x', here's a...

  14. Sports What Ifs.

    I just learned from a faellow Cleveland Indians fan last week that there was a good reason, unbeknownst to me, that the red Sox were seen by some as bitter rivals in the early '80s. Dennis Eckersley had basically forced a trade after Rick Manning stole his wife! The 2 couldnt be in the same room...

  15. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    That's true, I am probably putting modern concepts of closure into my idea of a Union Mills gathering. As noted, if there was one it would be about the destruction of the planter class and bringing the pour from both sides together, but I had forgotten just how many were killed also, so much...

  16. Ole Miss Riot of 1962 turns into full-scale insurrection

    I can't see it being as bad as a second civil war. Our collaborative timeline the Selma Massacre looks very plausible, however. Civil rights was going to happen, it appeared, television was making it inevitable that a Civil Rights bill would be passed. However I can see a lot of rumblings, just...

  17. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    In our timeline there were a reunion at Gettysburg on the 50th anniversary and still a few scattered Soldiers made it in 1938 for the 75th anniversary. It seems that, even though the planter class is being destroyed, there would be some desire for a reunion just to show that it is one nation...

  18. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Ouch, I hope she was okay.

  19. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    It very well could have been. Still something that would definitely go well with the comic strip World once he does that.

  20. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    I remember Shaquille O'Neal doing at least a Ride Along as a policeman, though as I look it up I realize it was when he was in Los Angeles and not Orlando. Either way, this needs to be a story sequence of at least two weeks in a jump start comic strip now, considering that the comic about the...
