  1. Fatherland by Robert Harris, spoilers

    ROFL! I had that idea at work ages ago- can't you imagine mickey goin' "SEIG HEIL!"? 'Specially with the squeaky voice. Heh, the manager flipped when I did it though :D But the book, yeah. I'd read it, but the only copy I have is in French, which makes life a bit difficult because it's all...

  2. What would life be like under this First Couple?

    The chick sure knows how to dress: see-through. :D

  3. At what point was Nazi Germany doomed to defeat?

    Hmm- Hitler assassinated November 1939- Remembered a hero? Oddness.

  4. Alternative US Governments

    Hmm... Not based on the Australian Parliament at all... :rolleyes: Re: The executive officer; I have a certain fondness for Advocate. Particularly if he doubles as foreign minister, the Advocate becomes the country's representative to O.S.

  5. Vikings in modern Argentina

    Had a mad idea to put Vikings in modern Argentina. Let me know what you think. Kingdom of New Vinland Displaced by harsh winter in Vinland, roughly 1100AD, the Viking settlement moves South. Finding calmer climes on the coast of New England, they set up there. However, conflict with the...

  6. Most Realistic POD?

    *Shudder* The thing about the Russian civil war was that the Reds didn't just have Moscow and St Petersburg; they had the major portion of Russian industrial power at their disposal. They also had much wider general support from the Russian populace. They also had fantastic logistical support...

  7. ψΩ

    Forgive me for asking, but what're "eth" and "thorn"?

  8. Most crucial last stands in hist ?

    *Places tongue firmly in cheek and hands around a salt shaker* I personally liked the battle of Helm's Deep. Marvellous stuff, where a massively outnumbered force overcame terrible odds to last out the night until reenforcements came. All last stands in history should be judged against such a...

  9. Create a Fanatical Religion

    It's good to be evil. :D

  10. Could this form of government come to be?

    Funky :D Uninationalism? Commonism? Equalitarianism? Not only does it match with elements of my personal philosophy, but it's also nasty! So, when you say it's like Fascism, does that mean that economics is all centrally-planned and that dissidence is stamped on by 20,000ton hammers?

  11. Full Metal Alchemist

    Never played RIFTS. I came to roleplaying a bit late for it. BESM, 3rd Ed D&D, World of Darkness and GURPS are what I know. But anyway... And this "Lackeyan" idea is bunkum. Just because something *looks* like something else, doesn't mean it *is* something else. That's just too simplistic...

  12. Full Metal Alchemist

    Tech: Dragonlance, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, Warcraft and Games Workshop's Warhammer worlds all display some fairly advanced technological doohickeys. Admittedly, most of 'em made by Dwarves, but gyrocopters, printing presses, steam-powered vehicles all take place. The technological...

  13. Make it work?

    Wow! Nice to see this one back in action. "Prussian Crisis" has now become a running joke in my Australian History classes by the way :D I'll mess with the scenario a little more by adding the little caveat that I forgot the first time around...

  14. Streetcars? Today?

    Ouch. On reflection that was a bit harsh. Sorry :o

  15. Streetcars? Today?

    They're called trams. Many cities make good use of them: Lyon, France; San Francisco, USA; Melbourne, Australia. Naming but a few.

  16. Full Metal Alchemist

    *Blink, blink* Ya know, it's not until you're on the receiving end of a godmod that you understand why everyone hates it so... Have a nice day, I'm done here.

  17. Full Metal Alchemist

    With all due respect, my good sir, you're wrong. So nyurh. :p I provide as proof: There's a similar spell in 3rd edition, but I don't have the PHB on me ATM. Now, with this spell, the magic user and anyone he chooses can be immune to bullets, and marginally protected from anything bigger...

  18. *Really* Democratic Republic of Congo?

    (*Surreptitious BUMP*) I take it noone cares? Ho hum. I'll revisit it later if I can be bothered :(

  19. More Long Tans for Vietnam ANZACs

    Well, because of my school's brilliant choice in Australian History topics, I can't speak with the authority I'd like to here (Damnit! I wanted Vietnam, not immigration :mad: ). Anyway, AFAIC, setpiece battles are not where Australian military prowess lies. We'd take more casualties during...

  20. *Really* Democratic Republic of Congo?

    Well, I thought that having the fires wipe out most of the rubber industry the atrocities of the Belgian occupation would be avoided. I know its horrible, but looking at the major problems suffered by African countries, civil strife is one of the top ones. Genocide, nasty as it is (it's only a...
