  1. Warren G Hooper: who was this guy (and how did he become President?!)

    A few months ago I was looking through the USA minister files in Hearts of Iron 2, and I came upon this guy: Warren G. Hooper. I looked into the USA events file, and discovered that if the player (or computer, but it's massively unlikely) chooses Wendell Willkie for 1940 President, he's the...
  2. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Yes, I knew that. That's why I said remains. But I wanted to know what happened to it by the time of the occupation of China.
  3. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Why not use all three titles? The story could be split roughly into three parts - Fear, Loathing, and Gumbo, the story of John J. McKeithen (1971-1973 or so), Shut Up and Get Out!, from Agnew's reign and impeachment through Gavin's presidency (1973-1976), and The Rise and Fall of President...
  4. The Fountainhead Filibuster: Tales from Objectivist Katanga

    I think someone (the Joker?) said something like, if the punchline needs to be explained, it's a terrible joke. Basically, I wasn't focusing on the 'white and nerdy' aspect at all; I was thinking more about the absurdity of all these people moving to the Congo, building their shiny new utopia...
  5. The Fountainhead Filibuster: Tales from Objectivist Katanga

    I didn't mean it literally, I meant it more as mockery of them than a real 'theme song'. I don't know, it just seemed funny to me last night. Hmm. Maybe sleep deprivation isn't the best way to come up with jokes.
  6. The Fountainhead Filibuster: Tales from Objectivist Katanga

    They want to roll with the gangsters Two things: What do you guys think about Weird Al Yankovic's 'White and Nerdy' being the theme song for this timeline? Or just for the Objectivists, I guess. It seems to fit. Also, what would Ayn Rand think of this? EDIT: I should leave the assignment...
  7. The Fountainhead Filibuster: Tales from Objectivist Katanga

    I just wanted to post that this is one of my favorite timelines here, and I hope it continues to your satisfaction and the continued praise of everyone here. I hope that you haven't run into some kind of problem; I would have posted earlier, but I was worried that the thread was dead, and it...
  8. Fear, Loathing and Gumbo on the Campaign Trail '72

    It's amazing (and hilarious) how well those 1980 pictures fit the results of the election - Rumsfeld is smug, Carey is resigned, and Dellums is dismayed at Rumsfeld's inauguration speech.
  9. Map Thread X

    A Wall of Text All right, I really need to get this over with, so this will be my first post. This is an enlarged map of a concept I've been working on (mostly in my head) for the past few months. It's drawn in MS Paint. (But I spent weeks -no, months - making it!) The concept is the idea of...
