Forum:New Community TL

Courageous and I (Guns) have been talking for a few weeks about making a new community TL. 1983DD is full, except for a few minor places, A2012 is looking like nothing will survive (no, seriously. We're talking practically nothing left in three continents). And the other Community TLs aren't showing much action, even if you count map games; Lobositz recently got the ASB tag (and for good reason), Medieval I have high hopes for, but looks a bit shaky, and apart from that there's only PMII and Avare. People were talking about "PMII syndrome", saying the map games would all come back- guess what, they haven't.

In the meantime, Ben, MP, RWG, and several others have left the wiki. There is a slow dieoff on this wiki.

So, finally, a solution; a new community TL! Something to rival 83DD, that will become as famous, maybe even passing Ill Bethisad (I rather doubt it).

We have come up with multiple ideas. We have a shortlist, really, of two. Now, there were others, but I've got to run. The Royal Guns (talk) 20:46, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Spanish Flu outbreak in 1972: It's the height of the cold war. American troops are being pushed out of Vietnam, the pro- Soviet India has just shat all over the pro- America Pakistan. Nixon's watergate scandal is just coming out. And then, in Berlin, a case of Spanish flu is found. It spreads like wildfire, killing people left right and center. Within two days, it's in every corner of Germany; four, all Europe starts to succumb; 8, and no continent but Antarctica is completely safe. Within 6 months, due to higher, more clustered populations, over 50 million are dead. Then the Americans nuke Houston, one of the worst areas, and starts rioting throughout the nation. Doctors attempt to find cures, but the hospitals are declared plague nexuses and shut down with massive amounts of violence. Then some idiot gets his hands on another nuke and detonates it in Moscow, another badly hit city. Within 14 hours, the nukes are flying. The end result is simple. The flu subsides by itself, having killed 120 million, infecting nearly 1 billion. But it subsides because all the population centers, where the flu was rife, have been nuked, thyough pockets of plague still exist in Africa. This is like 83DD, except worse.
 * Meteor storm, 1918: The meteor that caused the Tunguska event isn't alone- it's a group of hundreds. Every continent is hit, and no major power survives. The Tunguska event asteroid was the first, but then they started hitting more frequently, until the Day of the Storm, when the main pack caught up. Hundreds of Asteroids, hitting everything, many missing Earth entirely, but hundreds hit. Millions dead, as the sheer number ensures that many population centers are all but wiped out.
