  1. DB AHC: Make Ice Hockey one of the 'big four' sports

    Is there any way to make Ice Hockey one of the big four sports, or make it a fifth big sport alongside football, lacrosse, baseball and basketball?

  2. WI FIFA International Soccer fails?

    I mean the EA game, not the sport itself. What if it is either never attempted, pulled or fails at market? All of these were definite possibilities. What sort of football games would replace it, I assume PES would be the main contender, and perhaps there would be more room for other contenders...

  3. AHC: wank off a mediocre historical figure

    Take any obscure character from history, and wank them off. Make them excel in their field, have unprecedented luck and success, Mary Sue the shit out of 'em.

  4. AHC: Make the Irish loyal to the United Kingdom

    The challenge is to make the OTL Irish Nationalists/ Republicans loyal to Britain. You can have them convert to Protestantism, or have the British Monarchy remain Catholic, whatever it takes to make the Irish as we know them loyal to Britain. If you still have the settlers in the tl they can be...

  5. AHC/ WI Black Nationalism in the United States and Voodoo

    In the OTL a lot of African Americans, particularly those involved in civil rights and black nationalism, converted to forms of Islam or Judaism (eg Nation of Islam, Black Hebrew Israelites etc). But what if instead they had converted to Voodoo, like the form in Louisiana or Haiti etc? What...

  6. AHC: alternatives to Marx and the Communist Manifesto

    In the OTL when we think of leftism we think Marx and the Communist Manifesto. What alternatives are possible here? What earlier or contemporary writings could have caught the imagination, and fired up a workers movement? How would they differ from the OTL, ideologically and tactically? How...

  7. WI: Jack the Ripper caught?

    What would happen if Jack the Ripper was caught? Say he is caught in the act of killing his 5th victim. What would happen generally, could there be a mob riot something like the Porteous Riot? And what would happen if Jack the Ripper was (as in some theories) a) A member of the Royal Family, or...

  8. AHC: "McCarthyism" becomes anti-Fascist

    The challenge is to make the 'Red Scare' in the USA similar to OTL, but anti-fascist rather than anti-communist. Obviously it's no longer 'Red Scare' or ''McCarthyism'' per se, but similar. POD can be anywhere between 1920 and 1980. EDIT: To clarify, you can still have the 50's McCarthyism, and...

  9. AHC/WI: UK-Netherlands circlejerk

    Basically the challenge is to make the UK and Netherlands BFF's, as far back as possible, and lasting as long as possible.

  10. The United Kingdom Football team, 1930 -

    For the sake of simplicity, for this TL butterflies will be completely ignored. This is mainly so that we can do comparative squads year by year and imagine who they might have fared compared to OTL home nation teams. First of all I will just be doing World Cup tournaments, right from the first...

  11. AHC/WI: Transpacific Slave Trade

    This is probably ASB, but I thought I'd put the challenge out there.

  12. AHC: Kill Freudian analysis and psychoanalysis

    With a POD after 1900, completely discredit Freud and his followers, destroy psychoanalysis/ Freudian analysis. What effect does this have on modern psychiatry and psychology, if indeed they even exist as we know them?

  13. DBWI: WI Prohibition happens in the USA?

    WI Prohibition happens in the USA? For the sake of argument let's say it takes a similar form to the Prohibition imposed on the UK in the 20's and 30's. For those who don't know UK history there was a nationwide ban on alcohol from 1924 to 1939. There's sort of an AHC here as well because I...

  14. AHC: how close can you get to 1984?

    In George Orwell's 1984 there are three major nations, Eurasia, Eastasia and Oceania. How close can you get to that? In other words what's the smallest number of nations you can conceive of? The best starting point I'd imagine was the USSR at it's height, possibly somehow encompassing China...

  15. WI Western Orthodox Church

    Plausibility check/WI: instead of the OTL Reformation, Martin Luther instead starts a Western branch of the Orthodox Church. Ignoring the mothras, what difference would this make to Europe and 'the west' as we know it?

  16. WI USSR stays with the Axis?

    I've always wondered why Germany turned on the USSR in the middle of a World War. Yes they had huge ideological differences, and Germany basically viewed the majority of Russians as an inferior race. But strategically picking a fight with such a massive nation, which has already proven to be...

  17. AHC/WI: Italian-Americans import 'ultras' football culture into the US

    I've never understood how football is such a big deal in Italy, and there are strong links between Italian Americans and their families in Italy, and yet they never really brought football culture to America with them. So the challenge here is make Italian Americans bring 'calcio' to the US, or...

  18. WI: The British fund and successfully build Babbage's Difference Engine?

    ..and/ or Analytical Engine?

  19. AHC: oriental style martial arts in europe

    Is there any way to develop some analoguous culture of martial arts (eg kung fu, wushu etc etc) in Europe? Obviously there's already boxing and fencing etc, but the challenge is to have a huge range of martial arts and styles akin to China, Korea and Japan especially. And prefereably some sort...

  20. OTL's that sound implausible

    eg France's rise to power after the French Revolution, which would sound like a France-wank if it was written as an ATL, or Japan's rise to technological economic supergiant after WW2. Except obviously all after 1900.
