  1. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    The best way I can put it is that take OTL 1990s' post USSR collapse 'New Russia', minimize most of the worst negative bits (Economic collapse, unchecked corruption, the formation of the oligarchs, rampant organized crime, etc), while emphasizing the positives (A sense of new found political and...

    A frightening possibility to be sure I'm sure the lunatics will think of something without Wormly intervention That is what I meant.
  3. Western version of Seppuku

    Ancient Greece/Rome/Carthage knew this practice as "to throw himself on a sword".

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Oh, fair enough. Yeah, I think I might have played all the paths I wanted to. It feels a little sad, since it was such a blast this whole time. I think I'll miss it. On the other hand, eventually we'll get updates.

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    One guy ambushing two guys is technically a fight scene not a battle scene but I digress
  6. WI: US-German Lend-Lease?

    Skipping aside on how the US became pro-Axis, what would the effects be if Lend-Lease was supplied to Germany in their war effort? What materials would be sent overseas? How would the British react?
  7. WI: no Charles Martel

    While there exist some geographical "determinants" (more like strong incentives honestly) this period of post migrations western europe was chaotic enough much could be determined by the abilities and character of certain individuals in certain places at the right time.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    ...and so, a starter for 10. I have based this assault gun on the US Medium M1921 rather than the OTL slightly more numerous M1922 partly because I have a relatively good image of the M1921 to work with and partly because it was the design of the original M1921 that was later developed into the...
  12. Western version of Seppuku

    Absolutely. It kind of reminds me of the somewhat controversial idea, first sketched by Ruth Benedict, of shame-honor cultures vs guilt-pride cultures. Perhaps if you give Western cultures--probably through scripture--more of a reason to value shame-honor (social opprobrium or acclaim) over...

    Jesus Christ, yeah, that sounds depressing. What's Boris Yeltsin like?
  15. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    I do wonder about Krasnoyarsk as well. We were told that the place is basically your typical opportunistic tinpot dictatorship paying lip service to freedom and democracy in order to keep the people in line and hopefully get development aid from OFN so that they can be used to enrich the...
  16. AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    Keep in mind the general division of the culture of the late mediaeval (11th century onwards) empire: there was a "high culture" (consisting of the Imperial elite and the Constantinopolitan bureaucracy who leaned towards pagan-Hellenic philosophy and supported the union with the Catholics) and a...

    Western version of Seppuku

    Awww well thank you :) Kipling's little take on Afghanistan was just the 1st thing that popped into my head.... The concept of "death before dishonour" isn't unique to Japan, and despite the strong bias against suicide for any reason in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, it has a long history in...

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Where may one read more about this 'deception game'?
  19. How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    A Larouche presidency is one of the only situations I can imagine where the attacks would actually be perpetrated as the 9/11 Truthers say: by the US Government, because reasons.
