  1. PC: A Civil Rights Act for Northern Ireland

    But, correct me if I'm wrong, but Parliament had the power to dissolve Stormont and institute direct rule whenever they wanted, which in effect means that they could have at any point amended whichever act gave Stormont its power to say "they have the power to govern Northern Ireland...
  2. how different would world war two be if the Soviets lost the Russian Civil war?

    Although some sort of revanchists are likely to come to power in Germany it is almost certainly not the Nazis. Their seizure of power was the result of long chain of unlikely events that are unlikely to repeat under other circumstances. Whoever does take over is almost certainly better as it is...
  3. How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    The single biggest factor behind the purchase of a Submarine for Australia is not self defence it is instead as a deterrent. Our Collins class Submarines got designed and ordered back when the expected operational area was just like in ww2 up around Japan and further afield. The real problem...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    Thanks. I will say Marvel has a lot of interesting Cancelled Films Projects in the 80's and 90's that will be fun to cover, so we'll be getting an Early "90's" MCU with it being a surprise to see how it will impact things when we get to the time period of the OTL MCU.
  6. Sports What Ifs.

    Conference USA might not even exist ITTL, you might have an entirely different denouement to the Metro Conference's existence or a continued Metro Conference with or without sponsored football

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    I don't know what you mean by P2S/MM/BR as I couldn't find it after looking up that timeline. My current plan is Chris Chan is born female, as presumably Christina, as an allusion to their real life journey as well as making them resemble their Youtube Icon. Autism has many ways of being handled...
  10. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Aside from the fact that Manfred the Elder clearly likes the idea that Kat might actually have buried people in unmarked graves and that he is not one of them, he is also clearly of the opinion that many physical bodies probably had it coming and that Kat knowing about the metaphorical bodies is...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Make Blade Trinity a good movie. I figure that you have to send Wesley Snipes to rehab before the movie shoots , so he does not behave as a A--Hole on set. A better director who was not filming his first film would help . The Original Script call for the Vampire taking over the world and Blade...
  12. If Indian Removal hadn’t happened, could we see an early civil war?

    Well wait- What action did Governor Troup actually take during the JQA administration? And what was JQA actually doing with federal troops or saying he would do?
  13. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    As of TTL's 1918? They're a long way off from one another and their interests neither overlap nor conflict. The SMS Wohlstadt incident and Kaiser Wilhelm's embarassing gaffes notwithstanding, both nations are focussing on developing a modus videndi which both sides can live with. Economically...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    That's more of a monkey's paw thing since part of the Utopia would be preventing those countries from being as restrictive with Pop Culture, allowing them to compete with the US, Japan and Britain in terms of cultural impact. Do have this kind of setting would require no Stalin purges, forced...
  15. how different would world war two be if the Soviets lost the Russian Civil war?

    No but Germans with an interest in territorial revision have a shot. Germany was never fully occupied and is not locked down by strong neighbors in this situation, so it has room to maneuver. Germans can look back on WWI and think "we lost, but in 1914 and 1918 we came 'this close', and we...
  16. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    In AH, saying "Wank X" doesn't neccessarily mean that you think X is a good thing. It's more like "create a fictional scenario where X becomes much more signigicant than it was in the real world".
  17. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    Don't forget the massive typhoon that hit Okinawa in October 1945. Would have screwed with Downfall to some extent.

    WI: South Africa remains Dutch

    I think the Dutch could keep The Cape, although I think they would need to shift control from the VOC to the Dutch Government and give the Boers more autonomy. If they play their cards right, the Trekkers would be like the Pioneers in OTL's U.S., settling outwards to expand the Dutch domain...
  19. AH Cultural Descriptions

    An old English folk song. No one knows when it was written or who wrote it, but it was first mentioned in 1348 when it was mentioned that it was sang by a men’s choir at Westminster Abbey. The song was especially popular among English troops during the French invasion by Napoleon, with soldiers...
