The alternate Timeline Game!

[Souper]

This is a game in which you change 1 event in history, describe the entire order of events that occurs due to that change (domino effect), and come up with the pros and cons of living in that alternate universe. Then, the next poster rates on a scale of 0 - 100 how much they would like it in that universe.

Example#1:

Player #1:

Adolf Hitler became a very successful painter = Went down in history as extremely skilled painter = Never went into politics = WWII as we know it never happened = Soviet union started it's reign of tension against the U.S early = Massive, even larger war occurs = WWII happens after all = World is devastated, america is defeated = Soviet union takes over world.

Pro: All the work gives you enormous muscles.

Con: Communism.

Player #2: 0 / 100, I hate communism!

I will begin.

Apophis hit Earth = Earth is devistated = 99.98% of all life is wiped out = humanity lives in bunkers, while the surface is a dark, black-fogged wasteland of radiation and ash = KSP never existed

Pro: Kind of like Fallout!

Con: No KSP.

[Bill Phil]

0/100- I'd be dead.

Saturn rockets still being built + Shuttle not developed = manned program throughout 70s, space stations galore, etc.

Pros: Still flying. Lots of stations. No shuttle.

Cons: I can't think of any.

[Souper]

100 / 100

Best reality ever.

Meteorite never killed dinosaurs = Earth's flora and fauna developed much differently = Atmosphere is 25% nitrogen, 75% oxygen = Lizard men evolve, create civilisation = They are much more mentally stable then us = They easily create utopian civilisation with no problems whatsoever.

Pros: Utopia! Better technology! Everyone's nice!

Cons: Humanity doesn't exist, neither does its history or KSP.

[megatiger78]

50/100 to dead to appreciate, but someone like me but as a lizard man might be around.

Walt Disney is still alive until 2060 = Frozen was never made = FANF also never made = KSP movie created = Disney does not buy lucasfilm = games workshop buys Disney = Space Marines movies made.

Pros: really? you want to see the pros in that?

cons: probably some other annoying Disney films made before games workshop buys them.

Dead/Alive superposition of states. I am either dead or alive and this post may or may not exist, and thus the score for the situation above exists and not exists at the same time and can vary anywhere between negative infinity to infinity.
