    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Jaws 3. stick to Richard Matheson script . It could not be any worst then the movie we got.
  2. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    When is the POD? Give us some guidance. Do you want an analysis of how secession winter could have been avoided, or do you want the sectional divisions eliminated altogether?

    Small Steps, Giant Leaps: How (Almost) Every Apollo Astronaut Made it to the Moon

    Sorry for being a bit late on this one, but I think it's just supposed to represent some sort of small module or supplies or something. It's from relatively early concept art, if I remember correctly. We were more focused on it being one of the Wet Workshop designs.
  4. WI: Cromwell pulls a Washington

    Charles sealed his own fate anyway by trying to escape in 1648.

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    So you agree that the POD needs to be set back but think that ensuring slavey is ended sooner is in error. I can't say I understand what you are disagreeing with. Slavey lived because it made money. Remove that and it likely would have been gone by the 1820s. Hell one idea is to have the cotton...
  6. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Absolutely NOT true. Gloucester’s problems was who he was in a very shaky position in the possession of his holding (as consequence of what he and George had wanted done with the Warwick inheritance) and so he was extremely dependent from the royal favor. If both Edward IV and George Neville had...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Ashman was pretty explicit in setting this in a mystical Baghdad, so I don't think Disney is going to revert to the original setting of the story. As long as the landscape, architecture, and character design reflects that time period, then they will be fine.
  8. WI: Cromwell pulls a Washington

    My understanding is that Parliament did not originally intend to execute the king, but wanted to come to a settlement where he would relinquish most of his power.
  9. Hilo destroyed in 1984 Mauna Loa eruption

    Hmmm. Look what I stumbled into. Move to ASB if it's seen as a geologic POD. https://www.themarysue.com/mauna-loa-the-worlds-largest-volcano-may-be-waking-up/ What if the city is partially or totally destroyed in the eruption?
  10. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    It's not saying he was 70 years old when he was born, obviously. It's saying he's 70 years old right now. In the markup for the wikibox, you'll see an entry that looks like this: birth_date = {{Birth date and age|df=yes|1951|1|30}} The 'and age' bit is the important detail here; if...

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    "Allow newer technology to simply phase out of existence". Nothing I mentioned disagreed that you'd need a POD well in the past. I'm disagreeing with the above quote.

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    It seems you didn't read all of my post. I even made a point to say the POD needs to be set a ways back to have a shot at this.
  13. Painting the Qing Empire as a Manchurian Raj

    The idea is to make a dynamic similar to a post-French Indochina Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia be established between these 4 states, and ensure that no sort of Greater China irredentist movement can take hold in the future. Since in this timeline, the other 3 states would be firmly protected...
  14. The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    From what I can tell, many ITTL far-leftists (who aren't Neo-Communist) support a) religious socialism like that practiced in Russia, b) libertarian socialism like that practiced in Kurdistan, or c) psuedo-Peronist left-wing populist Fascism.

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    I'm not sure you're accounting for just how deeply slavery was ingrained in the south. Slavery was not confined to the largest plantation estates, it was much more widespread. I think you're also severely discounting how ingrained slavery was culturally in the south. Technological change alone...
  16. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    But Sweden in this area was much more prone to muck around in Germany and elsewhere than Naples was.
  17. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    For appropriately Arab dress, those fashions are perfectly fine. However, the tale itself purports to take place in Tang or Song Dynasty China, while the names of its main characters suggest Khwarzim-era Persia, immediately prior to the war with the Mongols. (Aladdin is the name of the last...
  18. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    It would be fun to see a timeline with a late POD wherein modern, Arabized Egypt does not view itself as an Arab country.

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    A good way to ensure the south remains in the union is by having fewer abolitionists or have Abraham Lincoln lose the presidency. Overall just make it so the south doesn't see a need of forming a new nation in order to put food on the table. Slavery is an evil that must die but perhaps it's best...
  20. Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    They're geographically part of Europe, and the whole "invaded, subjugated, and enslaved" shtick sounds pretty European to me, when one looks at the history of the Americas or Africa. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. This is a pretty interesting idea, and is kind of something I'm looking for. I...
