  1. Guitar Romantics

    July 20, 2003 "Well, I thought it went well." "Yeah. They liked 'Sleeping Aides' a lot." "I thought the sound wasn't great, but you guys killed it." "Yeah, it's weird, you'd think it's a big and famous enough venue that they'd have a better sound system. What do you think, Matt?"...
  2. Alternate People

    Hi all! I've decided that, as I'm incapable of writing an actual TL, I'll try this instead. But what is this? Well, I'm glad you asked, me. It's a project inspired by Lyly's "Illustrious Men". It will consist of lots (hopefully) of biographies of alternate figures - mostly political, but I...
  3. Out Of The Park Baseball 13 Interactive Game

    I'm going to do a sort of AAR of the baseball simulation game Out Of The Park Baseball 13. It's a very detailed game that's widely recognized as the best of its kind. The twist is that I want everyone to have a role in making decisions. I'm going to run a new expansion team, and the game will...
  4. Jim Edgar runs for Senate in Illinois, 2004

    Jim Edgar, even in 2004, was popular in Illinois, and as a result he almost ran for Senate against Barack Obama. If Edgar had run, it wouldn't be likely for Obama to give the DNC keynote (because you don't have the biggest speech of the convention given by someone who might lose), and Edgar...
  5. 2012 NDP Leadership Election... Retrospective! (First Round)

    If you think this belongs in Chat (and so should be locked because it's a poll) then please report it. I don't want to break any rules, but I hope this is okay. This will be a poll of who you would have voted for (or did vote for) in this year's New Democratic Party leadership election...
  6. Anyone Read "Prime Ministers Who Never Were"?

    And if so, what did you think? Personally I liked the Foot scenario, but I have to say I wish there had been one about Heseltine.
  7. MrHuman's Big Book O'Mini-TLs!

    I've seen DSS have a very good Big Book O'Mini-TLs, so I decided to try my own. Now, this won't be a constant project for me. It'll be something I come back to when, like right now, I don't have time to continue whatever my big project(s) is/are at the time. I know what the first one will be...
  8. WI: United States Doesn't Overthrow Mossadegh

    Pretty much what it says on the tin. I understand that you wouldn't have Ayatollah Khomeini, and probably the situation would be much better right now. But what would have happened?
  9. American Commonwealth Retrospective Elections Core Thread

    So, I'm still awaiting approval from Lord Caedus to do this, but I thought I'd put the thread up just to gauge interest. I think we should start in 1962, seeing as that was the first election in which people voted for a party and not a person, and go on from there. Leaders in 1962: Liberal...
  10. Tierra Pacifica

    This will be a TL written by myself and by kevvy2010. It will be about a fictional, tiny island nation in the South Caribbean, known as Tierra Pacifica. It starts in July 2012, with revolts against His Majesty King Bernardo II... Last week, in Ciudad de Pacheco, protesters took to the streets...
  11. List Political Parties of Alternate Countries

    What this should be (and maybe it should also be in another forum) is an alternate country and that alternate country's political parties, just as it says on the tin. This can be as little as names and vague positions, or it can incorporate history, prominent politicians, etc. As sort of a...
  12. AHC: Make Bruce Springsteen A Successful Politician

    With a POD no earlier than 1980, so he retains a successful musical career.
  13. Secretary of State Election, 2012: Republican Primary

    Running are former UN ambassador John Bolton, Senator Richard Lugar, diplomats Elliot Abrams, Paul Wolfowitz, Robert Zoellick, Ryan Crocker, and former Senator Chuck Hagel.
  14. Secretary of State Election, 2012: Democratic Primary

    With incumbent Hillary Clinton retiring, the race is wide open. Running are former Senator Russ Feingold, UN Ambassador Susan Rice, Senator Joe Lieberman, and Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns. There is speculation surrounding Senator John Kerry. Who's everyone voting for...
  15. The 1988 Presidential Election and Beyond

    So! This is my new TL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 March 1987 -- New Woodward Article Alleges Reagan Had Knowledge of Iran-Contra Based on interviews with Oliver North and Cap Weinberger, among others, Bob Woodward has published an...
  16. WI: No McGovern-Fraser Commission

    I have a TL, A Time For Peace, in which I'm in 1972. Though I didn't put this in, in that TL, a McGovern-Fraser Commission would have not happened. So what if there hadn't been a McGovern-Fraser Commission?
  17. A Time for Peace, Version 2.0

    This is a new version of my very bad TL, A Time for Peace. In this, the POD is that Johnson continues Kennedy's policies of pullout. The pullout finishes in late 1964, and so Johnson also has much more time to do more Great Society stuff. And it will be written like TNF's "6th Party System"...
  18. WI: Ron Kirk Defeats John Cornyn, 2002

    In the Texas Senate election in 2002, John Cornyn defeated Ron Kirk. Though it's a bit implausible, how would Kirk have been as a Senator? What would the lack of Cornyn have meant?
  19. WI: 1948 Presidential Election Goes to the House

    Just two states could have been enough to give Truman less than 270 EV. What if it actually happened?
  20. WI: Tom Harkin Elected '92

    Sort of a dream of mine, because he's one of my favorite Senators. I think with a strong enough NH showing, he could have done it. Anyway, I think he would have expanded disability rights (yay!), tried to repeal Taft-Hartley (also yay!) but I'm not sure about what his economic and foreign...
