Timeline Contests

Inspired by the Map and Flag Contests, Glen proposed the first timeline contest in December of 2006.

Timeline Contest 1

Glen choose the POD for the contest: November 2, 1948 - Thomas Dewey narrowly wins the US Presidential Election. The contestants were asked to have at least one event for every year from 1948 to 2007. Notably, the contestants were asked to complete their timelines in secret.

Results of Timeline Contest 1

The contest was decided by the AH.com populace in a poll thread. The winner was Jasen777 for his timeline For Want of a Newsreel. The contest overall was somewhat of a disappointment, as there was only one other timeline. Its author was Alcuin who has since joined the Hall of Infamy.

Timeline Contest 2

The second contest is currently underway, its start having been delayed because of Glen's absence from the forum.

The POD for the contest was chosen by Jasen777 as his prize for winning the first contest. It is: In 1505, Martin Luther doesn't become a monk and goes on to have an ordinary and historically unremarkable career as a lawyer.

Rules, such as the one event per year requirement, have been significantly loosened for this contest. In addition, contestants are to make their timelines in public, being asked to make a weekly update in their thread in the pre-1900 forum section.
