Well, I see that he rebuilt his capital entirely. That's... extreme, but I suppose it worked...

Augustus as filtered through Napoleon and the Borgias, at least.Taking a page from the Emperor Augustus, I see. ("I found Rome a city of bricks, and left it a city of marble.")
Oh yes, Elton is very much a man of extremes. If he'd had a downfall, that'd be an easy thing for future historians to pick up on and nail him for, but his penchant for grand gestures certainly will cost him somewhat down the road anyway...Well, I see that he rebuilt his capital entirely.

I'd love to have a chapter about Cetic narcotic theology in here, for example, but I don't think I could get away with it
I do keep meaning to talk about centuries-long misinterpreted song lyrics, and every time I realize that means I need to decide roughly when the Event happened and decide to stop worrying about it and write about something else. But I'm sure I'll get to it soon. It's got potential.Maybe instead we can get a nice update about the mythical White Rabbit of California, with its reputed psychedelic powers.

All of the following is me thinking out loud. At the very least, I can toss in some blues legends. I'd imagine the idea of someone selling their soul at the crossroads might still be resonant in many parts of the South. But pretty much everything after 1950 is kind of up in the air as regards mod canon. Now, climate change hasn't affected the in-game map much. The Plaquemines are still there, for example, and they're beginning to be on their way out right now, so I'm also assuming it'd have to have happened before 2000 or so (?). I also talked about computers and consumer electronics existing, but not as PCs, really, so presumably the Event happened somewhere between, say, 1970 and 1999, which does give me a good amount to work with.Now this part I'm interested in, mainly because I find myself doing the same thing. Interested to know if your version is affected by geography and where certain songwriters came from.

That's an interesting approach to take. If and when you do start the AAR, be sure to link me to it if I haven't dropped in already. It sounds like a fun one.That's way more thought in it than I did.
My version for the AAR I'm toying with basically has The Event as more of a broad term describing...eh...let's say the century after the first atomic bomb test. Literally the only thing I have going for me on this front is the Mahonic family crest being basically an upside-down version of WWE's current logo which didn't come around until 2014 or so.
As for songs, no idea.
I'd disagree that that is the case in this particular election, but it's probably best not to get into that here.Gangster, Chill. Twiddle-Dee will defeat Twiddle-Dum as always. If you call the boss Twiddle-Dum, bad things happen. Life will be the same for most people.
Well, Elton is certainly influential.
I do wonder if he ever actually existed, though. Perhaps, many people actually did deeds attributed to Elton?

I definitely considered it, but I decided against writing it that way because the situation seemed complicated enough already. That said, certainly the author is at the very least emphasizing Elton's role in affairs.Interesting thought. Elton as folk hero would be a fun spin on things.
(there were obviously and unsurprisingly questions as to his legitimacy, promptly deemed treasonous and quashed, but it is certainly possible that Elton simply had low spermatozoic motility for one reason or another, making children unlikely but not impossible)
Elton showed great interest in Presley’s progress and education, going so far as to at one point imprison a tutor who he felt had failed to properly explain division to the child
Elton was, in the words of Lucinda Bihari, the rare Imperial chronicler to acknowledge any faults in Elton the man, “distant, sealed off, and most assuredly unchill”.
Another year or so at this rate and I might actually get to gameplay!
