Hnau
AH.com member, formerly known as Darkest90, Tenebrous Proficient and then Darkest.
A Mormon, interested in future history and space technology.
While still known as Darkest, he was ostracised by some members due to his enthusiastic attitude towards an imminent (real life) Ethiopia-Somalia war, and in fact, all wars in general. At least originally, he was also a self-declared communist.
After Darkest conflicted with other members, he left the board to return under a new name and a new account–Hnau. Eventually, he ran afoul of other members of the community again, this time being banned. He soon apologized, and was reaccepted as a member; at that time, this occurence was generally thought to be unprecedented, barring Hapsburg.
(Interestingly, the Darkest account was still open until some point during Hnau's banned period; at that time, IAN closed it, and “Darkest” remains banned to this day.)
Works
Hnau is a quite prolific TL writer. During his “Darkest” account era, he was once advertising no less than five of them in his signature (!). They were:
He is sort of infamous for starting numerous interesting TLs, but never really finishing or developing them.
Nevertheless, he has made at least two longer, fairly detailed timelines:
A Leninless World - Lenin dies early, the world changes.
Bronze Age New World 2.0 - A reimagining of Doug Muir's older, non-AH.com timeline Bronze Age new World.
Of his shorter and unfinished timelines written during the “Hnau” account era, here's a sample:
In the World of Sorrows: What if Assyria had sacked Jerusalem in 701 BCE ?
An Alternate Whiskey Rebellion
In AH.com Fiction
In AH.com The Series, he appeared as Darkest90 in minor walk-on roles, including in GBW's The Dome Factor.
Darkest90 was DarkSlavik's Thai fighter wingman in AH.com Wars.
