CT96 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Je vous empris mon cher: Vive le Troisième Empire and someone forgot do do some research"2007 - Belgium, under French protection, was officially made a department of France. (AG:72)"as Belgium already is divided in provinces originally created as french departments... Well, that would explain, in part, this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070917/tc_afp/belgiumpolitics Mon Sep 17, 6:18 PM ET BRUSSELS (AFP) - Internet auction website eBay on Monday withdrew an unusual second-hand sale item, the country of Belgium, which had attracted an offer of 10 million euros (13.9 million dollars).ADVERTISEMENT "Belgium, a kingdom in three parts" was posted on the Belgian ebay site as offering "plenty of choice" despite the caveat that it comes with "300 billion of National Debt."

(AG:72)"as Belgium already is divided in provinces originally created as french departments... Mais oui! Belgium would become 9 departments. Some stupid gaming or crappy unresearched not-thought-out alternative reality site. Best ignored.

Best ignored.Most bizarre bit in the timeline is the emphasis on the rights of whales at the beginning. What's it got to do with anything else? David

For those that need the explanation, the TRAVELLER: 2300 game system forecasted the rise of the Third French Empire by the time mankind gained a toehold in space. Edited September 20, 2007 by X-Files

It's still Harry Harrison level alternate history. David
BansheeOne Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I'm much more scared of the Bavarians conquering Saudi Arabia and subsequently space.

swerve Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Hence the "lighten up". It's satirical. Good satire relies on good knowledge of what it's satirising. I didn't object to it being a game site, but a crappy game site. A poorly thought-out background is enough to ruin a game, however well-designed the game itself may be.
Redbeard Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I'm much more scared of the Bavarians conquering Saudi Arabia and subsequently space. Oh dear! But at least the roomy Lederhosen would provide ventilation and the funny feathed hat shade. And a cold Bavarian beer from one of those 2+ liter glasboots would do well in the heat too. I'm more sceptical towards Bavarians in space, I hate to imagine a weightless and red faced Bavarian tossing around in the spacecraft trying to suck in the beer bubles having left his jug without permission. Regards Steffen Redbeard NB: I'll never forget as a kid watching HSV play Bayern München in Hamburg. When the Münchenernes entered the stadium the Hamburg fans started singing: "Sieh, sieh den Bayeren mit dem Lederhosen auf, Lederhosen auf..." to the tune of "Yellow submarine" (I don't recall how the match ended).
