  1. Could the British Puritans Have Won?

    Hey guys! Some of you may know may for some... rather ridiculous ASB threads a ways back. Regardless, I haven't posted in awhile, but I wanted to call on the historical knowledge of the forum for a question. Judging by a recent podcast I listened to, I frequently got the sense that, in parts of...

  2. WI/CH: Feminism Impacted by Boxing?

    Okay, this came after reading an old thread of mine, involving the challenge of making boxing more popular. Now, Pellangro pointed out as one of the things that used to make boxing popular was it was a hugely controversial sport where things like the, "Great White Hope," and similar occurred...

  3. WI: U.S. vs U.K., WW1

    How? That's for you to figure out.;) I did put it here though because I assume a pre-20th century POD is required. Point is, what would happen if the United Kingdom and United States fought each other in a WW1 style conflict? How brutal could such a conflict get? One of the reasons I'm...

  4. WI: Major Female Serial Killer?

    This is inspired by a thread involving girls attracted to, "bad boys," like terrorists and the like. Hence, an idea. What if a female serial killer, who is as brutal as Ted Bundy, and kills 20+ victims emerges during the 60s or 70s? Would she attract a large male fan base, like how brutal...

  5. CH: Keep Boxing Popular

    I have NO idea how plausible this is, however I learned some cool things about sports the last time I did a challenge with it, so I hope to do so again.:) Basically, you must keep boxing at, or around, the amount of popularity it had when figures like Muhammed Ali were in their prime, to the...

  6. CH: A Chernoybl for Coal

    Here's what I mean by this. Your challenge is, in a country that's a superpower or at least a great power, so China or the U.S. as examples, must have a catastrophe involving coal that causes as much damage as Cherynobl did. Additionally? This damage must force political change in the way...

  7. CH: Nuclear Weapons by 1900

    Keep in mind something here. This isn't only nukes, but also the delivery system for them. So, that means you also need to have long range bombers by 1900 at least, or really massive artillery guns. Regardless, your challenge is to advance science and technology enough for there to be...

  8. CH: Destroy American Football

    Specifically, create a Watergate like event with it that utterly humiliates the entire sport to the level that it dies. Since I know very little about sports, there's a reason I posted this here for others to pick over.:p Why this challenge? Because I'm curious on how American culture would...

  9. WI: No Benjamin Disraeli

    How? Umm, someone slips on mud in France 10 minutes before he was born. Anyway, point is, he's never born. So, with that in mind, does One Nation Conservatism ever come into existence? If not, does his whole dire prediction of, "Two Nations," in the UK come to pass? Additionally, is the...

  10. CH: Biggest Religion Has No Gods

    Your challenge is to make a religion that has no gods become the largest in the world. Keep in mind, there's a difference between not believing in Gods, and not believing in supernatural stuff. I want the latter, a religion without gods. Now, people who knows tons about ridiculously early...

  11. CH: An Anti-Great Awakening

    Basically, make the US less religious, by a lot. Do something that stops, if not reverses, the impact of the, "Great Awakenings," in U.S. history, hence the title. Is this possible? Or is the US, with a 1776 POD, doomed to become a heavily religious state because of its origins in religious...

  12. CH: A Realistic Movie Become a, "Classic,"

    Basically, have a major cultural classic, like Star Wars, be... realistic. How realistic? Italian Neo-Realism levels. Make a film like Battle of Algiers as culturally popular as Star Wars, Star Trek, or Casablanca. I consider this an interesting idea because it would be rather... well...

  13. CH: Full On Meritocracy Before 1900

    Basically, have a country that is fully meritocratic. No bloodlines, or other forms outside of the skill tests and the like of inheriting power. Hence, China isn't this, although it got close at points. And I mention China because you have to do this before 1900. Singapore doesn't count...

  14. CH: Screw Europe after Roman and Byzantine

    Specifically, here are my requirements, 1. Europe may never have any other empires after the Roman and Byzantine that hold territory outside of Europe. So, no British Empire, no Spanish Empire, no French Empire, and no Russian Empire. Now, this doesn't count empires based outside of Europe...

  15. CH/WI: US Experiences More Than One Million Casualties

    Basically, what it says on the can. Get the United States into a conflict where it suffers more than 1,000,000 casualties. The closet it ever got to this was the American Civil War, with more than 600,000, but was about 300,000-400,000 short of it. Hence, this may be yet another scenario...

  16. WI: No Richard Nixon

    How? I don't know, a pen drops 30 seconds before he's born so he isn't born.:p Point is, no Richard Nixon, at all. What are the full impacts of this? I'm guessing this butterflies Watergate, what else does it butterfly though? How does it impact Vietnam? And who is likely to replace him...

  17. PC: A Rap with National Anthem Sample

    Okay, I have no idea how plausible or implausible this is, because I know so little about rap music. However, I had a dream recently where someone rapped over a sample of the Soviet National Anthem about the casualties of the Great Patriotic War. Now, obviously, that probably isn't happening...

  18. CH/WI: A Gender Blind Society

    What do I mean by this? Okay, now get an entire society where that applies to every single activity. Hence, any differences in behavior between men and women will be caused by biology instead of culture. Yes, there can still be differences in regards to age, race, so on, with treatment...

  19. Best Artillery Gun of WW2?

    Try to do them by category, if you can, otherwise pick best over all. I'm unsure really how this works, so do explain your choice, and why it was so effective compared to others at the time. Besides that, it has to have had wide spread usage in World War 2, so nothing that was made on the...

  20. CH: Make a Depressing Song Hit #1

    Specifically, get a song that is tear inducing for many to get to the #1 spot on the pop charts. Now, some conditions. 1. This can't be because of association, as any song can be depressing if associated with a personal event. Don't know if that can apply on a larger scale, but just in case...
