Those categories have never really been used, Tb. Just no point in having them.

What was said, Tb, about the Titanic proposal was that it could not have already happened, but that prep work for something like that could start in the near-future. But you and the SA editors just dropped off the face of the earth on it.

The are plenty of areas for things to be done in DD. Most proposals on the list that have been effectively abandoned only had a single tiny thing that was off. But still they sit. Pretty much everything there has some validity. You don't need to "know the story" - just make a proposal or start a discussion. There's so many places or things that can be done that it disturbs me that people say that.

Most of the "community timelines," Guns, are incorrectly marked that, and are private timelines by people that moved on long ago. GWS is the only other one that, besides DD, is not quite this, and it only really has things happen when Nuke decides he wants to work on it. And that one's his anyways.

We can still easily double the amount of nations in DD. Just that everyone seems to want some continent sized nation, which would not have applied even at day one.

The nukes would not be damaged to that extent, Scan. And many sats aren't going to die or me damaged for weeks - including most of the navigational ones.

Guns, nukes can be damaged by the EMP - all you need is a circuit to be off somewhere. But that'd be very rare, true.

Fed, the extent Scan is talking about, especially with the timeline bits I've seen him bandy about, just isn't possible.

That "Map Game Wiki" is not in any way, shape, or form affiliated with us. Nor has it been posted on in years.

As I've said before, ASB is ok - so long as it's not too far. This even applies to aliens, zombies, magic, or w/e. It just can't be solely that. For instance, what Tb is referencing as an idea is Sci-fi, not alt-hist. Fantasy, if it goes too far, would not be AH either. Oer's SV is a good example of fantasy AH. And there's many, many, more out there.

I'm not opposed to a more ASB community timeline, Heck, GWS is listed as one and is ASB. It just has to be logical following the event, like GWS. And not have the original ASB reason be bias.
