1983: Doomsday Egypt
Hey, Bo. I like Egypt and I rather say I'm quite intrigued by your ideas of a literally greener Egypt, and a Kharoun Oasis government with Islamic Fundamentalists running around. I'd like to help because with the history of Egypt established, that can help me on my ideas of the Greek mandates in North Africa. Mr.Xeight 16:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If you'd like to run with it, I'll be happy to provide nudges if I think you're going "off-course". Louisiannan 16:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh no I wouldn't like to steal your Egypt, I'd simply like to help you with the whole nation, as well as asking if you'd help me with my mandates. We have no idea when Greece acquired them, what their borders are, was there opposition, did Sicily do anything, etc. We don't even have flags for them. Mr.Xeight 17:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't take it as stealing. I take it as me not being able to give it the attention it deserves since I'm up to my ears in 1983DD France and Utah.  It would have to sit on my back burner for some months before I got everything settled out, and, honestly, if you are up to the task, I'm fine to give some initial direction and watch the story you spin with it. Louisiannan 17:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to work with your idea of the Khartoun Oasis government, as well as Egypt sprucing up the countryside. I was thinking that seperate revolutions of Egyptian Communists and Arab/Muslim Fundamentalists rising up, maybe the survival group, Islamic fascist, and communist governments declaring a government is parts of the nation, with the survivalist group being the only to survive. Do you have any ideas on when/where the Greeks would move into the coast? Mr.Xeight 18:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * FWIW, it's the Kharga Oasis. As for where the Greeks would settle, you'd probably have to figure out where the new rivers would be running, because there are going to be a few rivers flowing toward the sea, for example at the Toshka lakes, and onward, into the desert.  I would expect as well an upwelling of artesian wells -- although much of the water that falls is just going to disappear into the desert sands and recharge the Saharan Aquifer.
 * I'll let you decide the government, as well. Louisiannan 18:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I see lakes developping in the dark green areas of this map. I can see the enterprising Greeks, with a restored "capital" at Alexandria engaging in a herculean public works project to flood out the Qattara Depression for both the hydro-electric power, but to also create the inland sea, and possibly help "green up" the desert.  I'll try to make a map of the lakes and rivers I see starting to form in Egypt. I'll add that the Nile will likely split in two directions because of the Aswan High Dam -- especially with increased rainfall to the south -- this will be diverted into the Toshka Lakes and down the alter-nile...I'll have to figure out what the masri people will call it. This is something that the survivors would fight to have, since the other arable land in Egypt would have been nuked in 1983.  Louisiannan 19:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

The edit conflict didn't save my edit at all this time :(

What I said was... Mr.Xeight 19:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Would there even be an Alexandria with Egypt rapidly changing? The Nile would no doubt swell, and its Delta shrink, maybe even claiming the ancient city.
 * Greece taking on flooding the Qattara is a wonderful idea-except its home to so many animals whose natural habitat it is. Maybe without humans and more water, they could spread all over the nation, so a flooded Qattara won't be such a great loss.
 * With the artesian wells rupturing and feeding the Saharan Aquifer, maybe small water-pumping stations could spring up all over the green parts of Egypt, maybe even a Greek-Egyptian effort.
 * If a flooded Qattara does go into affect, this inland sea you envision could house a port city on its banks.


 * Yes, the Nile would swell, but any of the flooding from Aswan and South is going to be diverted IMHO through the Toshka lakes and out, into the desert, so chances are a great deal of the water flow will be comparable to here's flood seasons, now -- since they're still letting water through Aswan *here*, but I don't think they'll worry about it so much *there* because all that part of Egypt glows in the dark.
 * As for Alexandria, I don't see why they wouldn't just establish another one somewhere.
 * The flooding would be gradual and the Greeks could take an ecotopic bent (though not calling it by that name since it wouldn't exist in 1983 DD) and seed the different species along the new banks of this inland sea, which would also change the face of Egypt, offering more arable land to the East or west, depending on the prevailing winds.
 * I could see pumping stations developing, I could also see more lakes developing than just Qattara.
 * I think having it be Greco-Masri effort to do the changing would be wise -- a partnership, or even Greeks seeking New Egyptian citizenship. That's my thoughts. Louisiannan 20:53, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think I better let you do the speculation to as how much exactly of the Delta will be gone. Though I'm not opposed to a new one
 * There are about 9-10 decent sized lakes in Egypt (wikipedia's page on Kharga shows them), could you see them all being connected through rivers and smaller lakes?
 * I'd rather much like a friendship between the surviving Egypt and Greece.
 * Huh, so North Africa and the Middle East were nuked afterall. I'm wondering if the US might bomb Bur Sa'id/Port Said since afterall, the Soviets did give help to Egypt (that might actually have been the '90s, so maybe not)
 * I'm also thinking of maybe not just introducing other animals to Egypt. Maybe lions, leopards, and African elephants; creatures not seen since Rome ate them all and sicked them on their gladiators.
 * What are your thoughts on Libya and Tunisia's fate?

Mr.Xeight 21:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Egypt's Delta
I think that with the added rainfall, increased moisture to the west, I could see more precipitation, more erosion, and an increase in the delta. I think that there will be a lot of erosion in the areas that are farmed now because the land will no longer be protected and the river will hold sway.

I can see a possible second river developing -- depending on how Qattara is handled. I think that they will let the silt settle lower in Aswan and then just shove it down the Nile itself so that the water coming through the other channels will be cleaner. That's my thought. Louisiannan 22:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Nuking the Middle East
As I mentioned, I think they did it themselves. Louisiannan 22:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Map
Here's a tentative map.



Correct my Greek (since I don't speak it, but I presume you do.) Louisiannan 22:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

The only thing that's a little iffy is "Tashka", as far as I know (you have to remember, it's only my second language, and Greek-Americans don't necessarily speak properly) there really is no "sh" in Greek. In fact at a quick glance I read it as "Lake Towka". I might go with "Τασκα", but that's only if I'm right. Mr.Xeight 22:54, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So, does "Τασκα" transliterate to Taska? That's fine -- I was basing my guess from Cyrillic, since I don't actually read Greek letters. Louisiannan 23:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes it does. I tried translating it from Arabic to Greek on Googe Translate, and all that came was "Ταshk" Mr.Xeight 23:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

New Britain
I've altered the History a tad. If you could check through and tell me any alterations I should make on the talk page I would be much obliged. Bob 14:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Pure Arabica
hello i was around that althis, and i dont fine the "timeline" the "central page" the complete history of what was happen, and i see there is a "little lot" of pages in the category but not a "Timeline pure arabica", where is where can i read that--Fero 20:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You've linked to the central page. The timeline is still in development.  I haven't sat down and created a chronological list of events yet.  Sorry to disappoint! Louisiannan 20:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

= Not Offended= Don't worry, not offended, just thought it would make more sense that I clean up, than anyone else having to.

No revamps. Feel free to do whatever.Ladon 22:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Knowledge
So clicking "minor edit" doesn't actually hide your edit? Mr.Xeight 22:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow, I've been living a lie for monts... :/ Mr.Xeight 22:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

They disappear if you select them to, I let them remain. Louisiannan 13:55, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Time off
I'm going to take some time off from the wiki. I need to cool off before I say something stupid. Sorry to sound mysterious, but maybe you'll figure out what I'm talking about. Mitro 02:02, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the kind message. As you can see I returned earlier then expected, a friend of mine talked some sense into me about patience and not letting people get to you.  I will though be gone for most of the weekend so I can study for an Entertainment law final, but until then I hope to focus on my new article: .  Mitro 19:52, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Likem96
Bo, something needs to be done about Likeme96. I mean he doesn't even have a username any more, he's made himself into a timeline. He also finds it neccessary to vandalize France by putting the info from some alternate France from sort of alien vs. man video game. That's copy right infringement, is it not? He didn't take the hint with the three ban, so what next? Mr.Xeight 18:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikibreak
after yesterdays outburst me and MR.Xeight decided you should tke a months wikibreak so you can chill out BTW your contributions at 1983: Doomsday have not gone unnoticed thanks (unsigned by Owen1983)


 * I'm sorry but who exactly are you? I never decided anything on whether Mr. Arthur needs a break. Don't you think it should be up to MR. ARTHUR himself and not YOU?


 * What do you want him gone so you can screw around with 1983:Doomsday?

Mr.Xeight 21:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Owen wrote that. I'm not sure what he was thinking, considering Louis is the creator and an admin of this wiki.  I think he is upset because Louis disagreed with him, but I'm not sure how you got dragged into this Mr. X.  Mitro 22:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I guess you know as much as I do on this situation, Mitro. I think I might follow your example and take a wikibreak before I revert back to my past-self. Mr.Xeight 22:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I just kind of scratched my head and said, "Hm." I'm not going anywhere. Louisiannan 13:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't even know what this was about but one thing i know is arguments arent goin to do the TL any good so im cool with everyone --Owen1983 15:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How do you not know what this is about Owen? You are the one who wrote it!  Mitro 20:49, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Egypt
My bad, for some reason I thought it was still a proposal. Mitro 17:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Venge
Wow, you're right it is a real, but old, word. I just thought you spelled "avenge" wrong. Now I have a new word to use, haha! Mitro 19:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And thus I infect your ideolect, too! Louisiannan 19:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

IP vandalism
Can you block this IP: User talk:68.121.32.222. All of his recent edits were either vandalism (which I reverted) and bizarre messages on people's talk pages. Mitro 00:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about bothering you again, but User talk:69.106.206.225 is doing the same vandalism as the last IP. Mitro 16:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Same guy: User talk:69.111.180.153. Mitro 21:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Excellent, my master plan has worked **evil laughter**! Seriously though, thank you for this responsibility. I promise to use it sparingly and only for the right reasons and not allow my emotions to get the better of me. Mitro 23:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

edit from wikia
im sorry, I didnt Know i womt do again

Alternative_History:Featured_alternate_history
will you submit all the previously featured timeline ?--Marcpasquin 19:17, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Republic of Lincoln

 * I tried to stay true to the original flag of Chicago, while also adding new features that would represent the changes since Doomsday. I didn’t really care for the flag myself once I had finished it, but I decided to post it anyway for comment. The red is meant to represent the blood that was spilled during the civil war involving the three mobs, while the florescent blue was already there, representing the divisions within the city by bodies of water. If you have any ideas for improvement, I am all ears. I have seen some of your flags and am flabbergasted by the awesome job you have done. Lahbas 22:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Roundel V Banner
Realismadder designed one, but there was never any consensus that we were going with it over the banner. Personally I’m in favor of the banner only because it is more noticeable and it has links to the Featured AH nomination page. If you want I can establish a poll and see what the consensus is? Mitro 15:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Mitro 16:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
