  1. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    I think he means ‘eventually the elephants will calm down enough to be stopped, mahouts killed them in case they calmed down enough to be stopped in the wrong place’.

  2. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Might be a joke about how they did their own version of Operation Paperclip but, instead of taking anything that looked vaguely scientific to spite the Russians like the USA did, they just took former SS guys to use as strikebreakers.

  3. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    It’s watching in awe as the changes to doctrine, attitudes and strategic momentum required to get it to the frontlines by 31st October in a meaningful way have completely upended the progression of the war due to their knock-on effects.

  4. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Alright, so originally Admiral Ganteaume only went down with 40 of its 2000-plus passengers and crew due to the presence and quick action of the SS Queen (ironically, several of those lost were when a lifeboat was lowered to save people in the water and it capsized). In this timeline? I honestly...

  5. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Is the Admiral Ganteaume still sailing in a pair with the SS Queen? If not, things may be about to get much, much worse than OTL.

  6. The Dead Skunk

    Wanted to get him with Ye Olde Doohickey.

  7. The Dead Skunk

    The problem isn’t that he’s dishonest, that’s to be expected from any elected politician - the problem is that he’s also an ideologically-driven idiot. He’s already done a lot of things he ‘can’t afford to do’ - most notably launching a second, undeclared war against Mexico - over the course of...

  8. A Red Day In Selma: An Alternate History Of The Civil Rights Era And Cold War

    Looking forward to all the pre-internet Shermanposting about to happen north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

  9. The Dead Skunk

    And the Royal Navy won proof that propellor-driven ships are the future. Can’t forget that part.

  10. The Dead Skunk

    To the United States of America, Get fucked. Sincerely, The Muscogee Confederacy

  11. The King in Yellow and Other Stories: A President Lovecraft Weird Fiction Timeline in Several Acts

    Pro Football’s loss is the NBI’s gain, it seems.

  12. The Dead Skunk

    Also depends on the definition of revolution. After all, the last 'Revolution' in OTL Britain was the couping of a Catholic monarch by a Protestant one - not exactly what you'd expect from something described with that word.

  13. The Dead Skunk

    There’s a remark about accidental metaphors for this whole debacle somewhere in this line, but for the life of me I can’t find it.

  14. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    I suspect that, in hindsight, we’ll all wish that you’d never asked that question.

  15. Dixieland: The Country of Tomorrow, Everyday (yet another Confederate TL)

    SPAIN: *confused screaming* JAPAN: *confused screaming, but in a happy way*

  16. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    "Archon, your little bioweapon may have rained on our glorious parade, but we won't let you have the satisfaction of victory. We're carrying on the fight from the one place that no longer feels the touch of Societism... SPACE!"

  17. Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    Just like a huge number of other nations in OTL, congrats. Yeah, they were only getting run out of town by "vigilantes" in the Deep South for looking at white women instead of being lynched. Some countries' prisoners have more rights than black Americans had in the 1950s, being better than that...

  18. Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    I think Mr Ellison already summed up my views on that attitude quite well. Being better than a shit sandwich is nothing to crow about.

  19. Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    Exaggerating for comedic effect, but the underlying sentiment remains. I'm well aware that the segment of the population I'm talking about is the smallest it's ever been at the point that article was written ITTL and that the motives and intent in the article and associated research are...

  20. Reds! Official Fanfiction Thread (Part Two)

    At what point did I imply I was in favour of the latter? Imploding the most self-righteous portion of Red America is a small price to pay to avoid a dystopian, segregated-immortality hellscape as far as I'm concerned. :P
