My only issue with it is that it should be called A Yuge Sucking Sound.

Anyway, I'd prefer to see Napoleon in Egypt or the Dawn King because there's not enough Christian Egypt on this site not involving the Byzantines.

I voted for "Is Moscow Burning?", "13 Juliet" and "All the Russias" because Im a disgusting francophile and Im always down for a post revolutionary french wank, which are sadly very rare here. There was a very good Napoleon Victory TL a few years back but it died around the 50s. I also have soft spot for the Second Polish Republic, the Russian Republic and Weimar Germany

Oh god Trump in 1988, thats not even funny, Its just so...unpleasant

(Ideas between me, and Joshua Ben Ari. Credit when credit is do.)

For Third Restoration, the biggest issue is the Comte de Chambord was childless, so the Throne of France would then go to the Legitimist claimant Prince Philippe, Comte de Paris / Louis-Philippe II / Philippe VII.

This new Kingdom will start industrialize at a massive rate, improve their birthrate, and sufficiently good allies who can help them take down Germany. In this, they would form a Catholic Bloc with Spain, Portugal, and Italy. (Which in turn will allow Paris to better control Madrid, Lisbon, and Rome, be it installing puppets or friendly regimes.)

The UK will have to look for a better ally. Among those are Germany, Austria-Hungary, even Italy if desperate.

Russia might even either go White monarchist / nationalist-conservative militarist (à la Japan during WWII), or it might still go Communist but heavily revanchist and more Russian nationalist.

That was more or less my thoughts on this pass, with some twists though.

The fact that we have A Huge Sucking Sound in the lead shows the lack of imagination in our crowd. :noexpression:

I must admit that this "A Giant Sucking Sound" reboot might be a little too overdone here, and it's the project that interests me the less. That's why I will keep the first six winning projects (instead of the three firsts), because some of the contesting ideas here show the interest of the crowd, and I would like to give all of them a go. If not now, then in the future.

All these ideas can look like overdone timelines, but instead, I promise to give it some brainstorming and twists that will hopefully turn the clichés down.

The Dawn King : Louis XIV doesn't live past infancy, dying of smallpox at 9, in 1647. His younger brother Philippe rises to the throne and leads to a very different Sun King... Featuring Christian Egypt, a resurgent Hungary and a neo-pagan cult in Latin America.

You'd better change Philippe education: he was raised as a little girl not to compete with his older brother. The end results ? drag queen bisexual and transgender altogether. One of the first in history. You could turn that into an early LGBT movement wank, but you'd have to burn the catholic church first...

Transgender ? Not much, it's better to say that he was at times a travestite, but at least he was bisexual. There is also the fact that his rising to the throne makes Gaston d'Orléans a heartbeat away from the throne...

Though my choices are:
Is Moscow Burning ?
For Want of A Sandwich
Operation Charlotte Corday

I am looking forward to whatever you write.

Another thing is that this is Post-1900. Not really suprising that the two lead choices are also the only two to be post-1900.
EDIT: Wait, this is actually wrong

The Red Wave.

If I could vote for one more,
Operation Charlotte Corday sounds interesting

Either way any will be good.

It looks like the plot is almost completed, and the 1914 timeline is on the top of the polls ! I worked extensively on the reboot of this timeline, so it's great news :)
