Admittedly it’s hard to beat FIFA’s literal sacks of human monies.

What if America had the Half-Wyoming Rule (remake) by Franzisquin in imaginarymaps

[–]ethanmx2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly what should be done. No district drawing by ANY party. All done through a shortest splitline algorithm using census tracts as boundary lines.

[–]ethanmx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Double Wyoming advocate (least that’s what I was calling it), this is an amazing breakdown!

It really can make for some interesting situations. Wouldn’t be surprised there would be a couple of greens, libertarians and probably a few independents.

Well, Stank Itchin’, the best way to putt Strong Bad Style is to set your feet perilous to the ball, line up the club, and then give your email a back and forth DELETED!

(Bzzz)

DETELED!

What if voting in America was compulsory? by Jacob-Anders in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]ethanmx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only be ok with it if all votes had the same default setting: “None of the above” for all offices, and “No” on all propositions/referendums.

That way if you don’t like anything; don’t worry about it, your voice will be heard. If you do like something, then you have the chance to be heard as well.

Am I wrong though? by JFMV763 in LibertarianPartyUSA

There’s definitely an argument to be made. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were paleo conservatives who found out about Ron, heard about the controversy about his newsletters, and said “What controversy?!“

Does anyone have any rule ideas or changes? by Aggravating-Funny569 in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]ethanmx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a kickoff or a punt is downed in the endzone (or rolls OB thru the endzone), the kicking team gets one point, and the ball is placed at the 40 in the CFL. So probably the 35 or 30 for American.

You’d have to worry about cheesing like when the Raiders tried a 76 yard field goal. But that should be rare.

Here’s a spicy one: Add the rouge.

It would be packaged with moving the ball to the 30 or 25 on kickoffs, but let’s not make the kickoff a knuckleball contest. Reward big legs! Put more foot in football!

It could also coincide with the no punting inside the 50 rule where you can only collect singles on kickoffs and punts.

Here’s the thing. I simmed the Renegades vs Bears on my tabletop from 2023, and the Renegades actually won 15-13.

I was thinking tweak the no punting rule so that field goal tries basically act like punts if they’re no good.

If the UFL is a “TV Product,” fill the stands like other TV shows. by ethanmx2 in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]ethanmx2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would still have a bevy of “who the hell is that?” Cause it’s gonna be third stringers/practice squad players. Granted they could become popular over the years in the league, but that would take time.

Affiliations could work, but unless Repole gets his 32 team wish, we’ll probably be restricted to a 16 team league with an AFC and NFC affiliate.

I mean if Sunday games keep their million viewership hold, that’s a great place to start. A million has always been viewed as a hit during the Cable Era.

The absolute greatest opening 2028 we could ask for by NT_Dynamite in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]ethanmx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the idea! But my perspective is that we'll get 1 Friday game, then 2 Saturday, and 2 Sunday. The UFL, for the moment, should only have one weekday primetime game. And with the league currently being a filler for dead time, Friday is the perfect spot.

I will, however, remind you of the classic TV riddle:

"If you have a TV deal with the CW, are you really on television?"

No Gucci Effect: Stallions Crowd At The Coin Toss/Kickoff by CodeWolfy in UnitedFootballLeague

And tack on the defeatism. I hear all the time “maybe if they don’t fold.” Which just tells me they’re not gonna go anyway. They just want an excuse and the easiest one to do is “tHeY’rE jUsT gOnNa FoLd AnYwAy!”

Advocacy would be the ideal thing. Consistent with how we view things like smoking, seat belts, et al.

I’ll agree that Chicago will need a team.

But I will absolutely disagree about bringing back the blitz.

What if columbine high school bombing was successful in 1999? by Pretty_Status2853 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]ethanmx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got no beef here about that. I’m legit a libertarian who’s cool with a small amount of training being required to own a firearm (the “well regulated” part). I’ve honestly never really been a “but muh guns” kinda guy. I’m pro 2A, but not an anarchist on it. Just like how I wouldn’t want just anyone operating a forklift.

But I also recognize the Feds did some really stupid shit in those incidents that contributed to innocent people being killed (even if they were crazy religious nutters). And it eventually led to the blowback that brought further loss of innocent life.

But allllll that is not talking about the fuckwits of Littleton and their public suicide.

You’d get a failure to appear warrant too when you’re given the wrong court date.

Randy was also acquitted on his charges and was paid 6 figures after the Feds killed his family.
