There is a theory, called "Six degrees of separation", that states that any two people can be connected by a chain of less than six people. Basically, "I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows Bill Gates". Something to that effect. This game thread has a similar purpose, but will take many more than six links. Our goal is to connect Julius Caesar to Queen Victoria RULES: -Must be confirmed historical figures. -When you add a new link, they must have really met in person at some point (for example Socrates met Plato, as he was Plato's teacher). -So being related doesnt matter if they were never alive at the same time and so never met. -Feel free to use any sources you need, provided they aren't blatantly false. -Ideally your link will move our chronology closer to the present day, not farther backwards. -Feel free to use lines of succession, marriages, easy stuff like that to advance the game. -Also if a person is know by multiple names, include a few if you want (Alexander III of Macedon also called Alexander the Great) as long as its clear who you are talking about. -If there is a ninja post then edit it or if its not noticed by its poster, work off the oldest post of the two. I will start. Julius Caesar was friends with Gaius Octavius(later known as Augustus Caesar)
