That always seems to happen in my games. Unless I intervene directly to take it for myself, there'a about a 60-70% chance it ends up going to the Papacy.

I never have liked the nickname thing. My King Arthwr of Wales started as a Count and during his 50-ish year rule came to rule all of Wales, Ireland, Cornwall, and a couple of English counties to boot. Plus his stats were insanely high across the board. Surely a shoo-in for "the Great" right? Or...

Jesse Jackson Jr was talked about as a possible Secretary of Education.

Question: What negative effects are there when a Fascist revolution is successful? I've never had a successful revolution, be it Fascist, Communist, Anarcho-liberal or otherwise, so I have little experience with it. The reason I ask is because I am currently experiencing an insanely strong...

Two more dream-based infoboxes, but these ones are sane. I basically found myself as the modern day President-for-life of the massive Bolivian Empire that I had created in Victoria 2 (this is what I get for playing Paradox games before bed). I guess it was a slow day, because the main issue I...

The Democrats could have run Jesus Christ in 1956 and they still would have lost. Johnson will do better than Stevenson, but not by much. His strength in the south will allow him to hold on to his home state of Texas, Tennessee (which Eisenhower won by less than a point in OTL) and maybe...

Essentially yes. The Dominion is the main power of the Gamma Quadrant, which found its way into the Alpha Quadrant via the Bajoran Wormhole. They turned the Cardassian Union into a puppet state and used it as a base of operations to try to conquer the entire Alpha Quadrant. They had the...

Yeah, that was my preliminary conclusion as well. My guess is that someone slapped a bunch of German symbols onto a flag in a configuration that they thought looked cool and figured that a bunch of drunk Americans at a suburban Oktoberfest (which is where I saw it) wouldn't know the difference...

Oh, I'm sorry. What is the politically correct term? Vexillologically-inclined persons? :p

OOC: Okay, so I've got to ask. As a non-hockey fan, I had never heard the Montreal Canadiens referred to as "the Habs" until last week. But now I've ran across the nickname three times. What exactly does it mean?

This is a flag of unknown origin. I started this thread to see if anyone could tell me what it was, but I figured I'd cross post it here in case any of you flag-people could help me.

Wait, already?! I missed it again. I need to pay more attention. Anyway, I'm going to go with a Person because that was the closest to what I was going to do.

Yeah, I would assume that assimilating the Founders is a no-go. Assimilating the Vortas and Jem'Hadar would presumably work but the Jem'Hadar drones would die soon after assimilation without the Ketracel-White. Eventually the Borg would probably get frustrated with the whole thing and try to...

As I said, it was based on a dream. In the dream, Kaiser Palpatine II looked like Bashir from Deep Space Nine. So I found a picture of Alexander Siddig and stuck it in there. As for his parentage, there was a picture on his mantle of Raj and Penny from The Big Bang Theory. So my assumption is...

Here's the Queen one, I'll need dates if you want me to make the President one. Huh, royalty infoboxes look really empty if the person in question doesn't have a spouse or kids.

Sure, I'd be happy to help. What years are we talking about here? By the way, I happen to hate the Jonas Brothers and Selena Gomez with a passion, but it's your timeline, not mine. ;)

My dreams are much akin to the soup that my grandpa used to make. He'd just take all of the random leftovers that he didn't know what to do with, dump them into a pot, add water, heat it, and then stir until it was the right consistency. My dreams contain bits and pieces from various science...

I suppose I am, albeit indirectly. My subconscious mind f**ks with me and I just pass along the message.

Remember that country infobox I made about the Japan in a dream I had? Well I had another odd dream in which I was interviewing the Kaiser for a British newspaper in 1969. Apparently in the 1930s the Wiemar Republic was overthrown by a coup engineered by the nation's librarians. They set up a...

Yeah, and the last one that didn't have a graduate degree was Reagan. I figured a Bachelors degree was sort of a given.
