Revision as of 13:26, 21 August 2015

May I have permission to ad to this TL?? I have an idea that involves the Muslim takeover of France (There are many Muslim inclaves in France at the moment and it is possible for a Sultanate of France to pop out any moment now...) BlackSkyEmpire 20:35, January 28, 2011 (UTC)BlackSkyEmpire

Sure as long as you keep the same format of news brief that Crimson and I have been using. Welcome aboard! Mitro 20:53, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

I am going to make a LH based on my Divided States of America TL (I am trying to get more people into it). Uprisings in France and Britian start another world war. Roguejedi 22:09, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

I think we need a banner to place on top of every Live History article. Something that tells everyone what project the article(s) belong to. Any ideas? Mitro 01:21, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

I got two proposals.

LiveHistoryEmblemProposal1
LiveHistoryEmblemProposal2

BlackSkyEmpire 02:39, January 29, 2011 (UTC)BlackSkyEmpire

The first one is not bad, but I was looking for a large banner, like the type you see used for proposal template. The second one has to many religious icons and gives the wrong message. People are going to think the TL has to do with religion, which it does not. Mitro 14:16, January 29,

I designed the one on the bottom. The flags could be of any country, I just used an example. Does it have any potential? Roguejedi 22:17, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
LHbanner

I like the flag banner, but maybe we can use some more AH flags. Mitro 15:58, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

We could use Live History flags. I'll make another one as an expample Roguejedi 16:33, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Here it is (the nazi flag will have to be made better, but this is an example)

LHbanner2.p

I don't know if we should use the Nazi flag. People might get the wrong idea. How about the Hungary flag that is being used? Mitro 17:17, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Why not? plenty of althists have them. Roguejedi 19:28, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, when they are doing an alternate WWII AH and then it is either in the nation profile for the Third Reich or in a news brief. But how many TLs display it prominently in there advertising? Mitro 19:29, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
You can replace it with Austria-Hungary's flag. Not because I think it will offend people (Its not real life) but because I tried to fix the quality and it still looks bad Roguejedi 19:32, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Pita

Can I join in this? Looks fun. PitaKang 02:04, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

May I add a tl of my own to this project? BoredMatt 22:37, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Go right ahead. Mitro 14:06, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

New Idea

Hi, I was wondering about a new idea I have, and if it might work for this; where The US is communist and Russia is democratic? The story would develop more as it is told, but It would start in the present with the US and Russia still locked in a bitter Cold War, but cracks in the Communist US are starting to show. What do you think? Tbguy1992 16:11, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

I say go for it. It is sort of what I am doing with my Americanization TL. The POD has not been specifically mentioned but each news story provides hints at how the world changed. Mitro 16:17, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

What about a world where the Influenza pandemic destroyed the world as we knew it? Kind of like 1983: Doomsday, but with Pestilence calling the shots instead of War.

Yank 16:41, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Create it if you want Yank. BTW, why are you editing as an anon? Mitro 17:02, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

It's the only way I can use the Wiki Activity feature. The higher-ups made a huge mistake when they forced that sub-par skin on anyone logged in. I can neither check my progress on badges nor use the Wiki Acitivity feature, as the higher-ups haven't made it usable in the new skin. Just when I got used to the changes made, they changed it again.

Wars of Liberation

FYI, I have recently fallen about a week behind on this live History. I try to make news articles for many days, but I have things going on and I couldn't get to it. dont place the Live History as inactive, because it is not up to date but it is being edited by me. Also, if anyone has ideas for the LH, I would appreciate it. Roguejedi 15:50, February 16, 2011 (UTC) 

For Wars of Liberation? Maybe you should tie it to the real life protests going on in the middle east...well, not in this TL, but you could add the stuff about how the media and the internet is being used by both sides. Michael Douglas 20:23, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Another idea

My idea is for a live TL in a U.S. city that has been plunged into uncertainty after losing internet, telephone and radio contact with most of the country. There are several PODs here (some leading to various settings that would become known as the TL progresses), but the main one is that Gorbachev's assassination in the late 1980s leads to a Soviet Union that is more unstable than North Korea and whose leaders are desperate to keep their dying nation alive. I also want to center the TL in the city I live in, and need to know if that is permitted or if I need to move the setting to another city. BrianD 06:25, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

It is permitted. There are really no hard and fast rules to this project. As long as you follow the format you are fine. Mitro 16:44, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
Understood. Mitro, thanks!BrianD 22:04, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
I am close to posting the first few days' summaries on what I'm tentatively calling The Days After. One additional question I had was if it was permitted to use excerpts of transcripts from TTL radio and television stations, police scanners, etc. in addition to the releases from newspapers and TV networks I've seen on the other Live History TLs. BrianD 02:26, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
Sure, we are always welcoming new ideas. Mitro 18:40, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Dead History

What happened to this? It used to have so much promise, and yet it's come to nothing. It's dissapointing that most of the "live" timelines have been killed by lack of interest.

The Invasion

I've got an Idea for one of theese that starts during WWII, can I go ahead and make it?Wegscuba 20:44, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

2nd Korean War

I don't know why u need mod approval on this page to make a 'Live History' TL but can I make a 'Live History' TL about the 2nd Korean War happening now in 2015?

Well actually you don't need mod approval. The only thing the portal page says is: "If you would like to participate, please share your ideas on the talk page." Well you did that, go and write your timeline now. Mitro (talk) 13:26, August 21, 2015 (UTC)
