 ====== Japhy ======
+A former poster who had been involved in the greater AH community for a decade, having joined [[offtopic:othertimelines.com]] in 2004 as the user ftb95, he continued for years in sucessor groups like [[offtopic:alternia]] and [[offtopic:different worlds]] as ftb, Steve and eventually Japhy. He joined AH.com in Febuary 2007, though it was several years before he became active.
-**Japhy** \ˈnȯr-mən\ //verb// (1) to critique, without mercy, a work of speculative fiction which is presented in list format
+He holds a BA degree in American History, with two even more useless minors. And took a whole lot of classes on East Asian and African History. He even took a pair of Canadian History classes at SUNY Plattsburgh for a year, which is of course the premier school to study Canada at in the United States. As a result he has primarily worked as a wise janitor and a butcher since graduation.
-For example: "Dude, did you see Thande last night? He totally Japhy'd TB's attempt at a Lord North Forever list."
+Japhy is the Dear Leader, as so anointed by the Eternal Leader [[offtopic:Haggis]] of the [[offtopic:Haggesian Crusade]], an effort to promote non-Atlanticist AH, with projects focused on events outside of Europe and North America.
-**Japhy** \ˈnȯr-mən\ //noun//
+Japhy, traditionally someone to abandon ever project he ever started, has completed two [[timelines:TLIAD]]s "Bombard the Headquarters" about Late Maoist China and "The Crapgames of New York" where a dead horse was beaten and Mayors of New York would go out of order. Neither was completed anywhere close to a day. Bombard The Headquarters(!) was eventually published in the second run of titles by [[offtopic:Sea Lion Press]] in the fall of 2015.
-A poster who has been involved in the greater Alternate History community for a decade, ever since the old days at [[offtopic:othertimelines.com]]. As such he has a few decent friends from the whole experience, and quite a few run-ins, as shown by the fact that he doesn't respond to you're posts, because you're on his ignore list.
-<del>Along with [[offtopic:Anaxagoras]], he is one of the board's premier experts on the American Civil War.</del>
-He feels calling anyone on this site a "premier expert" or an "expert" without the academic credentials is a cancer.
-Japhy does hold a BA degree in history, but his concentration was "American History" with a focus not directly related to the American Civil War, his dissertation piece was on Antebellum Riots, Policing and Politics in New York City. He also got one minor in East Asian History (And another in something even more useless than history.) He even took a pair of Canadian History classes at SUNY Plattsburgh for a year, which is of course the premier school to study Canada at in the United States.
-So please realize, that those credentials are nice and all, he is no expert, just a dilettante, and certainly not with a single minded focus of the American Civil War.
-Japhy is the founder of the Livy Awards which are on the path to being a one-shot attempt to develop a new system of rating the best works of the site.
-Japhy is the Dear Leader, as so anointed by the Eternal Leader [[offtopic:Haggis]] of the [[offtopic:Haggesian Crusade]], as such he has begun to campaign with two offerings, neither of which, in the standard traditions of Japhy are completed.
-Japhy completed his first work on the site in 2015 with his TLIAD "Bombard the Headquarters!" Time will tell if the feat is completed sometime before 2023.
+In addition he has written multiple Vignettes ranging from electoral successes for the Know-Nothings in 1856 to Jimmy Stewart nuking the Japanese Navy in a Reverse Pearl Harbor.
+He was banned in 2018.
