Heh... I find it very amusing that out of all the threads I've started, this one has had just about the most traffic. :cool:

I had heard a rumor there was going to be another series set in the 1980's with, among other things, Richard Branson as a fighter pilot! :eek: Dunno if anything will come of it.

At a guess, a number of ship captains use them secretly, and when asked how they got to the New World they just say that God guided them. Everyone bitches and moans until they see gold, and that's the end of that issue.

1997 - George Lucas hires someone else to write the screenplay and direct the movie Star Wars: Episode I: The Rising Storm.

No, since I don't live in Seattle anymore. :(

Sure, I could've found a way. Something like, "This is a good timeline, but I wrote one, too, which you should read. It's a timeline. That I wrote. And it ought to be read. Go read it. Read my timeline that I wrote. Read it now, please. That timeline I wrote? Yeah, read it." :p But for the...

No, no. The idea was to have American football be a marginalized sport just about everywhere with soccer being as popular in the US as football is in our timeline.

Ha. I'm an American and find it incredibly dull. Two minutes of standing around. 10 seconds of action. Three minutes of figuring out what just happened. Repeat.

Somehow I've completely missed out on the existence of this incredibly well-done timeline! Makes me feel that my timeline where most of Europe ended up Muslim is quite inadequete. :o (the TL is at https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=33155 for those who are curious)

I'm an American, yet I rather like soccer. I'm pleased as punch that my old hometown is about to have their offical MLS team, the Seattle Sounders FC! Now if only my current hometown, Phoenix, could have their own, I'd be sitting pretty. But to most Americans, soccer is something that happens...

An interesting take on this might be to consider what if something like this had happened in, say, 1908? How long would it take civilization to recover? What would our society look like now, a hundred years down the line?

I found "1824" to be much more enjoyable than "1812". I'm hoping for a sequel which will, I suppose, be called "1836".

This is true, and I do know that, so I don't know why I put Jupiter Zoroaster there. Perhaps just because Jupiter Ahura Mazda would sound a little odd. :)

Hey, as I said, I'm sorry and I'll exercise more restraint in the future. I was mostly doing the eye-rolling thing directed at myself anyhow. If you prefer next time I'll just use :o or leave it out entirely, so as to avoid any possibility of offense. :)

You know, I was working on an idea for a time line once where Jesus was never invented/born, and as a result there was never any Christianity. The religion I ended up with as being dominant was something crossing Roman and Persian faiths, leaving most Romans worshiping Jupiter Zoroaster. The...

So, trying hard to steer this back on topic, the general consensus seems to be that this different Trinity would lead to a version of Christianity where women are more equal, yeah? What does that do as far as it becoming a major religion? Does it still grow to the size it is now?

So let's say Paul is walking along the road to Damascus when, suddenly, he gets ran over by a small cart. What becomes of Christianity at this point? Assuming it continues to exist, which is likely, I would feel, does it ever grow beyond being a mere mystery cult in the backwaters of the Roman...

Well, this is the last I'll say on this, cause I don't want to have trouble, however I would like to clarify that the USSR and PRC were not atheist states as any atheist would define them. All they did was replace the Church with the State and replace God with Stalin/Mao. They were every based...

So would he manage a fourth term, then, or be voted out of office? If he's voted out, what does he do next?

Heh. Sorry, didn't mean to kill it. I'll exercise more restraint in the future. :rolleyes:
