Revolution
I forgot to mention: the laws that primarily cause the revolution don't get rescinded (by a Republican, really?), because everyone will be fighting. You've just been geek'd. 23:26, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'll wait and see what you do. The current political system is so entrenched it is incredibly difficult to imagine a credible third option developing in a five year window which doesn't tilt the balance of power to either the red team or the blue team.

I realize that. I have an idea as to approach it, so you need not worry. It's not as convoluted as it sounds. You've just been geek'd. 01:15, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Joe's World
Hey, my name's KingSweden. I usually hang out on the Alternate History wiki but I accidentally stumbled across Joe's World today. If you're willing, I have some ideas and would love to contribute if that's alright. If you want to get an idea for my kind of work, which I'd regard fairly similar to yours, you can check out my baby Napoleon's World on the alternative history wiki.

KingSweden (talk) 02:21, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hey. You're absolutely welcome to contribute. The general guideline is that we're not trying to create a fantasy scenario or alternate future here, its just an effort to try predict what's going to happen next. So fresh insight and analyses in a variety of topics would be welcome, of course interesting and contentious edits will be discussed. Jakeepping (talk) 12:40, February 24, 2013 (UTC)jakeepping

Sweet. I can help with things like fleshing out articles, sports, American politics, etc.

On an unrelated note, I tried using your template for the UK elections on one of my articles over at AltHist Wiki, but it didn't work. Do you know much about templates, or is it just a problem copy/pasting templates from one wiki to another?

KingSweden (talk) 19:39, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Oh that was a pain in the butt. I took the code from wikipedia, but its layers of several different templates you have to import - they should all be on the future wiki now so its probably fully functional here. I think the editing boxes here might not show the links to them all (wikipedia does). You're better off using the election templates you've already got there or try find one that been simplified as much as possible. Jakeepping (talk) 21:00, February 24, 2013 (UTC) jakeepping

Oh jeez that sounds like a pain. I can't even think of all the hours I've spent trying to get templates to work, I can sympathize.

I made a page for the 2018 Senate elections. Not sure what direction you wanted to go with those, just saw that the Democrats keep the Senate (not hard with a 9-seat majority!) I left some results blank. Let me know what you want to do on the talk page there.

I applaud your imitative. :) Jakeepping (talk) 22:45, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

James Solomon (Joe's World)
Who is James Solomon? Is he a real person in our time?

Also, I would replace Fiona Cabot-Lodge with Ricky Dobbs - Dobbs is a current US Navy officer who played footbal at the Naval Academy and has stated his goal in life is to run for President in 2040.

KingSweden (talk) 03:30, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I have invented the character of James Solomon. He is more or less a placeholder. The person he represents is an independent who enters the national spotlight in the independent wave of 2022 (most likely as a governor of a northern state or Colorado) or a non-elected influential figure. My assumptions are that he will follow the Perot-Bloomberg model of being a billionaire former CEO capable of self-financing and with mythical technocratic ability. I assume he is around 30-40 today. Unless he invents/invests in a new technology/brand or rides into wealth in a boom 10 years from now perhaps he is already listed on Forbes:


 * Dustin Moskovitz, CA (28. Internet entrepreneur: Facebook, Asana. Seems left-wing)
 * Mark Zuckerberg, CA (28. Internet entrepreneur: Facebook. Involvement in politics & independent cred with Chris Christie fundraiser. But many already have an opinion on him)
 * Scott Duncan, TX (30. Inherited: Oil and natural gas pipelines)
 * Sean Parker, NY (33. Internet entrepreneur: Napster, Facebook Airtime. Seems very economically left-wing)
 * Jack Dorsey, CA (36. Internet entrepreneur: Twitter, Square. Democrat)
 * Nicholas Woodman, CA (37. Entrepreneur: GoPro cameras)
 * Chase Coleman III, NY (37. Hedge funds)
 * Ryan Kavanaugh, CA (38. Film producer. Moderate Republican)
 * John Arnold, TX (38. Hedge funds, retired. Libertarian. Involved in efforts to privatize pension funds)
 * Larry Page, CA (39. Internet entrepreneur: Google. Democrat. Many people have an opinion on Google)

As for Ricky Dobbs I am sure there are plenty of 20-25 year olds who have ambitions to be president some day, so the placeholder may as well be a real person instead of fictional. Fiona Cabot-Lodge represents New England old money, Rockefeller Republicanism, and someones who represents the corporate class and has socially liberal or no positions on social issues. Jakeepping (talk) 11:06, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I think you should keep James Solomon as President and make him a Colorado businessman/technocrat who becomes the head of "Big Cannabis." Just an idea I had the other day.

No thanks. Not for me. Jakeepping (talk) 18:55, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

An anonymous user has made major changes to Joe'sWorld, which can be seen here: http://future.wikia.com/index.php?title=Timeline_%28Joe%27s_World%29&diff=68723&oldid=68715 For now, I'm just revering the edits, but if you want me to block him, I'll do it. DaneOf TheNorth (talk) 12:07, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that, those edits were too big to go ahead without discussion. Don't block him please. Jakeepping (talk) 12:45, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
