Alternate Reality Game

Basically in this game, somebody makes a newspaper article that would alter reality like "Assasination of JFK Fails, Kennedy makes full recovery" and we then make headlines with that we think would be the next step in the alternate reality with a bit of background on what happened, such as

"Kennedy sets up investigation into shooting that killed Gov. Connally.

News overnight released that Governor Connally who was in the lincoln with JFK was killed by the bullet ment for JKF as well as his own bullets sustained in real life that didn't kill him. Kennedy instantly starts an investigation as to who attempted to kill him. But for now he's resting with his family."

Also it would help to research the incident a bit to make good guesses as to what would happen. So hopefully you get it from that. So...shall we get started with something we all know well (well I hope you do anyways).

Also final note, let your imagination completely go :3 there are no rules about what is a right article and what is a wrong one, as long as it's appropriate.

White House Collapses as plane crashed into Twin Towers and Pentagon on same disastrous day.

I don't think you quite got it Dan, it's like as said, an alternate reality, change one thing and a million things change. Which means that whatever somebody posted next, you post what the retaliation might have been in that string of events. So this asks the question because of your contribution, do we run both at once or x3x3 I think it would be easier to keep with the original idea.

Planes grounded and ports closed as investigation gets underway.

Meh I realised coming up with the absurd is funnier xP

LOL
Okay lemme continue with this one.

Russia blames Coca-cola for making Soda Bombs xDxD

Debt becomes a Category 5 Hurricane in the Atlantic.

I was just thinking, maybe when we make our "Alternate History" posts, we should put the year (and maybe the month or day as well) next to each new "event"?

That may be getting a bit too in depth there.

New Orleans abandoned permanently, constant Hurricane threat pushes citizens out.

I doubt that would be a headline if the government wanted to keep it a secret.

buuuut your forgetting about the "tablet" newspapers, as in gossip and news apart from politics, ecomonics and news and anyways Mike, it's Alternate Reality x3

Okay, this seems to have died a little, so I'll kickstart it with what could be a big one:

---

Academy of Fine Arts Vienna accepts 19-year old penniless orphan on second entry attempt

---

If you haven't guessed, said orphan is none other than Adolf Hitler in 1908.

Wow. I wonder if he really was accepted, WW2 wouldn't have happened. He'd be too busy painting. But aren't we kinda going back in time now? Let me help!

United States Cuts Deal with Indians, Gives everything west of Texas to the Dakotas.

@Mike: I think we kind of wrote ourselves into a corner with the storyline about New Orleans being wrecked and all, so I started a new "storyline" beginning in 1908.

Just curious btw, what does that deal with the Native Americans have to do with the course world history would have taken if Hitler had become a painter?

Dunno.

it means one more type of persons that he could try to kill?

Huh? If Adolf had become a painter, WWII may not have happened at all - thus my posting that headline, to see what course World history would have taken if it hadn't happened.

I'm just stating how the native american headline could have done something in real life x3 other than that absolutely no connection xDxD
