  1. Slaves, sex and souterners

    If you'd go to the section under the reply box that says 'attach files' and then click the manage attachments box, it'll open a pop-up menu to handle file uploads. Aside from that, if you put up on imgur.com, you can just hotlink the image here, using the tag set up. This is preferable with...

  2. Cupola Dreams: The Armored Fighting Vehicles of Hestia

    I might have to do something for the Dzundar-Izerian winter offensive. What, did you guys really think they've just been quiet for no reason?

  3. Slaves, sex and souterners

    Actually, it'd be a decent explanation to some extent, as capture bonding is actually a pretty universal part of human psychology, since it's actually pretty advantageous in pre-modern contexts. Pretty much. And well, how the pressures placed on them drove different standards of behavior which...

  4. Slaves, sex and souterners

    Well, from the perspective of moral absolutism yes. Like, from an absurd, fundamentalist perspective there of, but it's still moral absolutism. Which is rather maladaptive for doing literally anything involving the past, since it's mostly quantifying and understanding the motivations behind...

  5. Slaves, sex and souterners

    No, you totally can. I mean you've got measures of violence, intent and consistency to look at, same as you can in pretty much any other situation involving forced labor.

  6. Slaves, sex and souterners

    Actually, that was the guy I was thinking of. God, Florida really does have the most colorful history of any of the southern states. Actually, didn't black overseers have a reputation for being worse?

  7. Slaves, sex and souterners

    Well yeah. It's definitely contact related. On a smaller farm you've also got the owner's sons and everything around, and most are small enough that everyone has to work in close proximity instead of having whites simply working as overseers or acting in managerial roles. It's like how most...

  8. Slaves, sex and souterners

    Yeah, but it's also really disingenuous to bring it up as an example of well anything. It's just that goddamned weird a relationship by any standard. I mean we know about it, and it's surprisingly well documented. But it's also a really unusual circumstance. I mean it's his wife's half...

  9. WI: Mass Native-American Chattel Slavery?

    Have you actually read it? That's all mentioned in different passages, but well, an Irishman, an Indian and an African could all farm, since 90% of crop maintenance tasks are pretty well universal. But well, the Irishman and the Indian are pretty much guaranteed to die within 36 months in a...

  10. WI: Africans had never been brought to colonial America as slaves?

    All of which only lasts as long as there's something to be othered against. And I wouldn't say that the Redlegs succeeded in joining English social structures, since they're still dirt-poor, and are a discrete (and increasingly inbred) population on every island they're found on.

  11. WI: Africans had never been brought to colonial America as slaves?

    Eh, all it'd take is a pissed off judge and a single legal decision making indenture a permanent state of affairs. It's not hard to see if there's a particularly massive demand for labor. It's pretty much what happened in Virginia anyway. It's honestly what'd be expected if you kept...

  12. WI: Royal Navy with good AP, effective anti-flash

    Not really. Increases in RoF and shell quality are both means of improving the likeliness of causing damage to an enemy vessel (especially if your fire control methods are absolute shit.) You absolutely want both, and ideally can do so without putting yourself at risk. I mean the Kaisermarine...

  13. WI: Royal Navy with good AP, effective anti-flash

    Honestly, they'd perform better, and a few more ships might not sink in pathetic ways, but it's not going to be an advantage, given that the Kaisermarine are still qualitatively better in almost every category. That said, a reduction in ROF over wartime levels could cause problems in battle...

  14. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II

    Alright, that's pretty awesome.

  15. Cupola Dreams: The Armored Fighting Vehicles of Hestia

    Yeah that's an accident. She's supposed to be a copy of a Type 1936 destroyer. And as absurdly lucky as Yukikaze was.

  17. Southpaw: The Ballgame Between the States (Archangel Michael, Georgepatton, Gryphon)

    I should've taken a look at this much sooner, but damned if it isn't the most interesting project I've seen on the site in a long time. Even if I know fuck-all about baseball.

  18. Cupola Dreams: The Armored Fighting Vehicles of Hestia

    Is a nice update. I should really get to work on creating that thing about fighting in the Med.

  19. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II

    Yeah, even when I half ass it, I still spend like three hours hunting for the right picture on Wikimedia Commons and doing something cool, or just kinda stupid. But yeah, gryph's totally right about Anglo sphere election boxes and bioboxen being the no-effort world-a equivalent. I actually...

  20. WI: Yamato is sent to the Solomon Islands

    At speed. I don't think the IJN has anywhere near the capability to actually support having her and a decent sized force in the Solomons engaging in combat maneuvers. Especially not if it means refueling the Yamato. It's really only made worse because she's 3kts slower than the ships...
