Do you guys belive that Forward my noble jackals is a believable timeline ?

OOC: Edit-Everything's been cleared up. Thanks, Karikon.

IC: In short, no. While it was pretty well written, to be honest, there is no way in hell, that the U.S. could have continued to hold on to Peru, Chile, and Charcas, let alone annex them and Argentina.

In OTL 1950, the U.S.'s hold on the three former countries was already seriously strenuous as it was, and we had already begun to pull out, if perhaps slowly, due to various logistical problems, not to mention the growing number of anti-war protests in the cities, and other major domestic issues(including increasingly violent clashes between the anti-indenture movement and numerous far-rightist groups, such as the Jefferson Davis Society, as the Peculiar Institution began to go thru its final death throes later on).

In fact, we were extraordinarily lucky to have been able to hold on until 1955 as it is. We could have been booted out much earlier, and with far higher casualties, too. Not to mention what could have happened if President Long had decided to invade Argentina, and especially if our arch-rival the Russians had gotten involved.

For those of you who haven't read it, btw, here's the fan map(OOC: B_Munro's interpretation of what the DoD 'verse might look like in 2011):

OOC: BTW, Karikon, no offense meant, btw. No hard feelings, I trust? :)

The "Forward, my nobel jackals" story is a story written in the Decades of darkness universe it´s presented as an ATL story within said universe, diverging by longer live of Thomas Jefferson and no-repeal of the embargo- act. (ye It´s bloody confusing :D).

OCC:
Writing an alternate TL (Our TL) of an alternate TL is not a DBWI; it's either a double-blind or a triple-blind time line, i'm not sure which. A DBWI is where you pose a WI as if you are in an alt world where an event that did occur in OTL did not and ask "what if 'it' did". At any rate, since you're talking about an entire time line and not just a specific event, my suggestion is that you ask a moderator (click on report this thread) to close this thread and then start a new one titled something like "Forward My Noble Jackals: A Decades of Darkness DBTL".
 
TBH, yeah, it was really confusing for a minute. Fun idea, somewhat flawed execution.

OOC: Hmm.....well, fudge. :( There goes my post, I guess(unless you'd like to keep it as canon? Or something :eek:). Still, I liked the idea. I might just retool it for my own purposes sometime......hopefully you don't mind. ;)
