  1. Alternate 9-11 Attacks

    A thread for alternate 9-11 attacks. What if 9-11 hadn't happened? Would the Islamist state in Afghanistan fall apart without a common foe? What if 9-11 had been attempted in China/Iran/Israel/Europe/Russia instead of America? etc etc etc Also, someone should do an al-Qaeda wank. Just saying.

  2. AHC: President Norris

    Here's the plan. Some of it might need a little bit of handwavium, but these steps are all pretty necessary. 1. Tape jowls on Bruce Willis, and call him John McCain. McCain refuses to believe that Huckabee's death was part of a larger conspiracy. 2. Witnessing McCain's corruption, Norris walks...

  3. AHC: President Norris

    The year is 2007. Mike Huckabee is fatally shot by a lone gunman. Everyone thinks he was just an accident, but one man isn't satisfied. One man is going to find out the truth, by any means necessary. One man doesn't play by the rules. One man is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris sets out from his...

  4. AHC: Make the Fifties as much like OTL's Sixties as possible!

    Um, Nikolai Tesela is highly successful, sending out butterflies that cause WW1 to start in 1904, with but with technology a decade ahead of OTL. Everything else is basically identical to OTL, but ten years earlier.

  5. AHC: Maximize Power of an Ainu State

    Good point. Sakhalin's Ainu, so that could probably be incorporated. Any chance of perhaps some native tribes joining Ainu culture, like maybe the Aleuts or something?

  6. AHC: Maximize Power of an Ainu State

    That might result in eventual Ainu states of approximately daimyo-level power, but what would keep them from being eventual Japanese/Russian satellites?

  7. AHC: Maximize Power of an Ainu State

    With a POD after 1000 AD, maximize the population, economic prowess, and world influence of a majority-Ainu, Ainu-ruled state.

  8. To What Extent Could the Aztecs/Incas Have Adapted Spanish Technology?

    Sure, but even with an unskilled Spaniard, there's the helpful fact that he's got connections in Cuba and knows Spanish, meaning that even if he can't teach you to make steel he can help you buy some and train you to use it.

  9. To What Extent Could the Aztecs/Incas Have Adapted Spanish Technology?

    Perhaps if the Spanish were scattered, they could be used as engineers and advisors to Mesoamerican lords, who could then plot to use Western technology to fight against Aztec rule.

  10. Earliest possible gunpowder?

    Judging by their use of steam power, I doubt they would get very far with the stuff. How about Archimedes survives the Roman capture of Syracuse, and uses sulfur from Etna to make gunpowder bombs for the Roman fleets? Then, hilarity can ensue!

  11. AHC: No Sealion TLs

    AHC: With a POD post-AHF, make there never be a Sealion TL. Ever.

  12. keep American accent British?

    As someone from Virginia, I can tell you that the southern accent doesn't exist outside of the boonies, like in Gloucester or Tangier Island or something. Being upper-class types, they probably all spoke with northern accents.

  13. AHC: Eastern Orthodox China

    Have Muslim invasions skip most of Byzantium and target China, creating religious bonds out of necessity with other anti-Muslim powers. Have Eastern Orthodoxy, through Axum, become the dominant trader's religion for a few hundred years. China eventually makes it the national religion. Have...

  14. AH: Armenia-wank

    Perhaps a stronger Roman anti-Greek sentiment could result in Tigranes being a Roman friend and client?

  15. Reverse Reconquista

    I can't think of one that wouldn't result in Crusades.

  16. AHC: Explain this bumper sticker

    In a long tradition of Western use of stickers as a medium for conveying messages to passerby, especially political ones, this driver references a then-commonly known phrase used to justify pride in the South using Confederate flag motifs. As the Confederates were negatively seen as hateful to...

  17. Surviving Mississippian Civilization

    Maybe you could hit it with a plague early. Because we know so little about the Missisipians from a native perspective, I would have some lost Phoenecians/tribes of Israel get stranded there through Hurricane Improbabilius.

  18. WI: Pilgrims end up in Virginia

    The retrained, pious Puritans combine with the slaving, tobacco-farming Jamestowners. They act as moderating influences upon each other, tempering each others' bad qualities, a little like OTL. Early America is a much more culturally homogenous place. C'mon, if they didn't come in conflict...

  19. THIS TIMELINE SUCKS: A COLLABORATIVE TIMELINE

    FDR died in childbirth NeoDesperado, omg stick to the canon, god. Stalin raised FDR's baby a girl in the gulags. Her name was Comerade Sunshine and she was beautiful and had big boobs. She knew she had to sop the Nazis from making a nuke before it was too late and time ran out. So she left...

  20. THIS TIMELINE SUCKS: A COLLABORATIVE TIMELINE

    CHAPTER NWELVE Nwelve is a secret number between nine and twelve. Muhuahuahua! Screeched Heinrich Schindler. After my previous tests using Jews, I have concluded that time travel is totally a thing! Now I will go back in time to the past and build a nuke before Albert Inestine was even...
