Well, look who's back.
Um, hi?
What is this? A True October Surprise GT?
Wow, low blow. No, it's just a special of extra infoboxes from the ATOS universe, not a continuation of it past the TL's end of Inauguration Day 2017.
So a series of infoboxes for the Humphrey family?
No, shut up.
Okay, then what should we expect?
Different things: some lists, some elections, some personal infoboxes and even some pop culture-related goings-on.
How is this a "2016 election special"?
Well, some people involved in the 2016 elections make appearances. Plus, it felt kind of appropriate to have a surprise revisit to a universe that diverged from OTL because of an October Surprise.
OK. Does that mean I can ask what this random politician is up to, or what happened to this thing, ITTL?
You can, but if they aren't covered in this series or ATOS proper, they're probably unimportant ITTL and I might not feel like looking to see what they'd be up to in this universe.
That's kind of dickish, these people want to know what happened to [random OTL politician]!
I'm planning on posting at least one infobox a day for the entire month of October between work and classes, so forgive me if taking time to figure out an answer to every request is low on my list of priorities.
One per day? Aren't you unfairly upping expectations for other infobox TL makers?
Yes and yes.
What should the authors of No Southern Strategy, The Populist Problem of Preston Manning, Think of the Djurgården Boys and other fine infobox TLs think about your idiotic pace?
That they're doing a fine job and that I planned this out ahead of time specifically for a month-long spurt of posts.
Sounds like both a cop-out and that you're a bit insane.
Yes, and quite possibly.
Does that mean we need to read A True October Surprise again?
It would at least help, since most of the write-ups are going to mention things that occurred in the TL proper.
Fine. Let's see you drive this into the ground.
Full speed ahead!
