OOC: Hello! I am making a sort-of-alt AH.com discussion that will, in time reveal the world. There is way too much similarities for this to be plausible, but I want it to stay.
Byzantine Empire Surviving Beyond the 17th Century?
Mezarq- What if the Byzantine Empire survived the Winter of Discontent and continued on its growth?
ProfTron- I say that the Byzantine Empire couldnt have survived beyond the 17th Century. The Winter of Discontent was just the final nail in a coffin.
Prande- Not neccessarily! My timeline Look to the East shows a Byzantine Empire that was conquered by the Turks and was recreated by a United Russia.
ProfTron- Your timeline is AST. How would the Turks expand from Persia? The Byzantine Empire was so strong at that time!
Prande- Well, there is a series of bad emperors.
ProfTron- Oh, that excuse is so handy?!
Prande- Well, it is my timeline, and the great Fred the Admin has decreed that my TL is not AST!
............
OOC: Get the idea? It is a parody of AH.com set in an alternate universe. Already, we have saw an alternate terminology, AST, short for Alien Squid Tentacle. Do you want me to continue?
