  1. Another North Korea?

    Kennedy Lives scenario: John, Bobby, Teddy, all with 8-year terms at least (plenty of time to repeal that ever-pesky 22nd Amendment) with escalation of the Cold War proceeding as per OTL. Then Joe Jr. comes of age... :p
  2. Official Alien, Alternate and Future Species and Cultures Repository

    I'll have to dig up the files on the actual intelligent species I made up... I hope they haven't been lost to time.
  3. Official Alien, Alternate and Future Species and Cultures Repository

    I created these creatures for the background of a Star Trek RPG campaign. Preprinted here via cut-and-paste, so mentions of the Federation abound. No art, because I suck at draw. If can use, take. (FYI, the planet was called Hylund, and its bumpy-headad aliens were the Kith.) The Kith are...
  4. WI: USSR artificially improves its living conditions to become a "USA of the East"

    Mainly in the places that they brought the touring Westerners.
  5. AHC: Kill Reality Television

    A rash of serial killers who target Reality TV stars?
  6. AHC: President Jello Biafa

    This is the same Jello Biafra who said he was glad the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up? Who bought that antinuclear garbage about RTG's causing cancer in everyone? That guy? Great, another scenario where everybody learns my damn middle name.:mad:
  7. What if the USA adopts most of the Ideas of the French Revolution

    Except of course, for everything else we know about all of them. For instance, you forgot Madison, the other guy who wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and should therefore know what it means. "The number, the industry and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people...
  8. WI: Terrorist Groups Acquire "Nuke"; First City To Go Is...?

    If it were me? Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland and Harrisburg. But that's only because I'm from Western Pennsylvania. :D
  9. Leagues of Extraordingary Gentlemen

    Just because, LXG:2267 Commander John J. Adams Friday Citizen G'Kar Andrew Martin Spock Leeloo Minaï Lekarariba-Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat Logan 5
  10. Title for a Leader

    Indeed. Enough of the US's founding military officers considered the Roman dictator Cincinattus worthy of emulation that they named a fraternal society (and cities in Ohio and New York) after him. Washington was compared to him for giving up power after the Revolution.
  11. Title for a Leader

    Primus (or some variation), just meaning "First one?" Maestro Viceroy Chief Magistrate Doctor "But Doctor who, though? and of course, Shepherd.:D
  12. What would the political development of Jaredia be like?

    I was just on that site the other day, and was wondering about this exact planet, and what the folks here would come up with. With Africa under the ice, humans like us probably wouldn't develop at all, so... the rest might be hard to guess. Or, I suppose, someone could ASB it and say the...
  13. Map Thread VIII

    I'm putting my money on Edgar Cayce.
  14. Challenge: Third Nuke Used in Warfare

    I have been told by what I usually consider a reliable source (though he's become more erratic as of late) that there was a real possibility during the First Gulf War (Desert Storm) that if Iraq had deployed a large amount of chemical and biological weapons, the coalition would have responded by...
  15. Challenge: Atheist President

    I'm a Deist, so if you all elect me President first, it might speed things up. (Although the fact that I can not, in good conscience, run as a Democrat might torpedo that idea.) Might be doable if both majopr parties split into their Rational and Psychotic wings. If asked, I will be the...
