| **[[The Colour Scheme War]]**: An [[ah.com conflicts|AH.com civil war]] that //almost// errupted due to arguments among the [[Mappist Cabal]] over the merit of various [[resources:map colour schemes]] and the results of a narrow vote on what to colour non-communist Russia on AH maps - green or gold or something else entirely ? Three main ideological factions arose from the conflict, becoming mini-memes in and of themselves: The [[Greensheviks]] (pro-Green Russia), the [[Goldilocks]] (pro-Gold Russia) and the [[Map Marauders]] (anarchistic, Russia to be coloured according one's preferences). Yeah, a lot of the humour was based on [[pods:Russian Civil War]] analogies... The Colour Scheme War has recently been picked up as a potential story arc for [[stories:AH.com Enterprise|the revived AH.com series]]. | **[[The Colour Scheme War]]**: An [[ah.com conflicts|AH.com civil war]] that //almost// errupted due to arguments among the [[Mappist Cabal]] over the merit of various [[resources:map colour schemes]] and the results of a narrow vote on what to colour non-communist Russia on AH maps - green or gold or something else entirely ?

| **2012, the Second Year of the ASB**: The year 2012 is also known as the Year of the Future History Cliche, because it has had technology develop that was future history cliches, such as hydrogen leaves, artificial life, Indian satellites, asteroid mining, rogue geoengineering, revamping the USA's states, and all that jazz. | **2012, the Second Year of the ASB**: The year 2012 is also known as the Year of the Future History Cliche, because it has had technology develop that was future history cliches, such as hydrogen leaves, artificial life, Indian satellites, asteroid mining, rogue geoengineering, revamping the USA's states, and all that jazz. |
