Fair enough; I'll delete mine as well. No need to clog up this great timeline with my off topic banter...all right. I'm sorry about that; I think I was just in a bad mood. Let me delete my comment, and we'll pretend this never happened. All right?

Fair enough; regardless of my own grumbling, I am massively looking forward to the next update here.Fair enough; I'll delete mine as well. No need to clog up this great timeline with my off topic banter.

Speaking of chapters.It's been a long while since I looked at Indonesia, and so you probably know a little more about this topic than I do. Looking over the available articles though, I wouldn't say there'd be much radical change from OTL.
There might be some minor changes in the way the CAZ is treated by the Dutch government. Doubtless the West Irian conflict would discursively highlight the plight of the exiled Moluccans, and accelerate decision-making over their eventual fate within the Netherlands. This would bring forward their legal assimilation into Dutch society into the mid-1960s, rather than the 1970s. I wouldn't think they'd have a future in West Papua, really.
As for the cause of the RMS, I wouldn't think Amsterdam would risk further complications in supporting them. The cost of a settlement between the Netherlands and Indonesia might well be the expulsion and cutting of any ties with this so-called RMS 'government in exile.' I would guess that Amsterdam would just want to move forward and minimise all risk of alienating Jakarta and Washington - who don't really want another conflict of this nature randomly erupting - by doing so.
EDIT: Without bumping necessarily, I'd like to also propose a small retcon to chapter XVI. In the section detailing the election of Gerald Ford as Speaker, I said that Leslie C. Arends was one of the 'Young Turks' responsible for his ascension to the dais. He could not be: I made him Secretary for Agriculture in Chapter II. If I could edit the chapter I would cut his name out of XVI, but since I can't, I'll just ask anyone reading to ignore his inclusion in that chapter.

I can't even access the author's profile... is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head?*Checks to see if there is an update.*
No
*Declares revenge on Stolengood.*
Before you go making accusations, why not take a minute to notice that the author might not even be alive any more? How do we even know?Massively indecent.
Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. You have no grounds to even bring up the issue. The fact that you are rebranding the way you treat writers on this site as concern for them just makes this worse. Yes it's indecent. At some point you need to mature and realize that people aren't writing for you and that it's not your place to abuse authors or necro threads to complain that you haven't gotten updates in a long time.Before you go making accusations, why not take a minute to notice that the author might not even be alive any more? How do we even know?Nobody knows because nobody's checked for an update or even posted in this thread in nearly two years.
"Indecent"? The TL author might be deceased, for all we know!
I can't access his profile.I have to know. Did it even *occur* to you to check his profile for the last time he logged in, check out the dates of his most recent threads and posts, or send him a PM? Or any of the other million things you could have done instead of necromancy?
