  1. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    It pleases me immensely that the social construct of pineapple on pizza got incorporated into this timeline as an insult. As a New Yorker it's just so profoundly satisfying.

  2. Full(est) House - Constitutional Apportionment Amendment

    Yeah I mean it's...*quick calculator* like...16 seats in Nassau and Suffolk alone and if you're trying to follow town borders and join areas of interest together they're generally to GENERALLY be *very* swingy with a handful of exceptions (the Smithtown & leftovers seat would be super red, the...

  3. Full(est) House - Constitutional Apportionment Amendment

    Don't have the ability to jump on the Discord at the moment but if whomever is doing the New York map wants some help/input on downstate, especially Long Island, let me know, it's my wheelhouse and good lord there'd be a ton of seats for Suffolk and Nassau counties alone. And you guys are...

  4. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I came for the Star Trek content, but I'm staying for the 1980s New York Mets dynasty. ;)

  5. WI: Indigenous American Miracle

    For what it's worth, the Maya are an intriguing possibility-they had the requisite political disunity and already indications of some real breakthroughs (aforementioned astronomy). Maybe butterfly whatever climate related instability they had in the 10-12th centuries and give them a bit of a...

  6. WI: Alternate Common Pet Fish

    Any breed of cichlid has an advantage in that there's actual recognizable parenting activity on the part of the parents coupled with relatively easy conditions for breeding. I breed kribs for example, pelvicachromis pulcher, and honestly I stumbled into it. There's a good deal of selective...

  7. Independence Day: Offically Alternate History

    Well I imagine the New York attack killed Manhattan but it probably didn't take out all of Queens or Staten Island for example. Hell specifically in that case the rivers serve as firebreaks.

  8. More "Native" Names

    I mean, Long Island is pretty covered in native names. Patchogue, Happauge, Cutchogue, Aquabouge (notice a pattern) A mark of a native is being able to actually pronounce them all.

  9. AHC: Differnt "cradles of civilization"

    Charles Mann makes a strong argument that Peru should count in 1492.

  10. AHC:Free Poland in 1950

    Mayhaps the Germans take Moscow but *just*. The Western Allies time Normandy just as the Russians manage to re-take Moscow (after a six month or longer Stalingrad-esque battle), meaning German high command can't juggle forces between two fronts. By the time the Russians are rolling slowly...

  11. AHC WI: Republican Obama as the first African-American president

    I'd read that Goldwater was Reagan's inspiration. So if Goldwater doesn't go national in the same way then either Reagan stays out of politics or just stays in local Californian politics.

  12. DBWI: The America Series is ending

    Especially when a good number of the end goals-a generally prosperous, fairly equal English-dominated Western World-were achieved by the benevolent rule of the British Crown, especially once the King accepted Franklin's Albany Plan rather than deal with potential French intervention during the...

  13. An Age of Miracles: The Revival of Rhomanion

    Especially as, if I recall correctly, Mecca is owned currently by either a small emirate or the Omani that are friendly towards the Ethiopians, so Mecca isn't really under threat.

  14. Brainstorming for Highly Advanced Pre-Columbian America via Vinland.

    I think the Iroquois are a natural state to border such a Vinland.

  15. Europa Universalis IV - 13 August 2013

    Where'd you find that? My trawling of the Paradox forums is striking out.

  16. turtledove's good stuff

    World of Difference, another one of his early works, was pretty good.

  17. WI: No Mississippian Culture Implosion

    Well, let's throw a curveball in here-the article says the Mound Builders worked copper where they found it, but not in an organized fashion. Maybe a hundred years before the implosion, they start working copper and start the beginnings of a bronze age or something similar. This butterflies...

  18. The Given Sacrifice by SM Stirling

    Well there's also the Peshawar Lancers. I enjoy the series as popcorn reading. Let's see if he actually ends it after three, given he just jumped a LOT of years in a couple of chapters and the cast of characters is going to be different.

  19. Keep Five Points as an existing neighbourhood

    The area is pretty touristy-Columbus Park is right there and it's close to both Chinatown and Little Italy. IIRC (It's been awhile since I was in that neck of the woods) there's some plaques and signage about the historical relevance of the area. To actually put a five way intersection there...

  20. DBWI: ATL Map of Europe

    All these changes, and Lithuania-Poland is almost exactly the same. Maybe the weirdest thing of all.
