Continuing the one I started.......

More people continue to lose themselves in the film worlds and the population of earth continues to diminish as the years go by. The governments start panicking because of the decline of their population. They start sending special squads to collect various population from the film worlds. It is then that they discover that each individual copy of the movie creates it own seperate individual universe. And each change creates a different version. Such as foreign languages of the same movie creates another alternative.

Video retailers and rental places would be firebombed or seized by the government, their wares declared Controlled Substances and placed under harsh regulation...Video bootlegging would become a crime tantamount to treason, ramping up to crimes against humanity...

The multiverse discover earth thru it's films. These various scifi and fantasy films open one way doorways from various other points in the multiverse and allows aliens to come to earth. No one knows the truth.

In a desperate bid to convince Congress that the Big Three American Automakers ARE on the ball and can be trusted to be innovative, a CEO accidentally blurts out a dark secret of the American Automobile Industry, just before he gets whacked by anonymous assassins; decades ago, the Big 3 came to a detente and set up a Detroit 'Area 51' where innovations(and the innovators) that were deemed too dangerous to the status quo would be locked away bending the decision, at some future time, to either manufacture them, or destroy them...
Among the secrets; a car engine that runs on tainted water, megadamage safety cage designs made from 100% recycled materials, inexpensive car bodies that do NOT deteriorate, self-healing tire materials, rechargeable electric batteries and motors that run on only cents per mile per charge, and the like, as well as the pickled corpses of those foolish enough to challenge Big Auto...
Now both the feds and the public are scrambling to find this 'Detroit Black Vault' before the guardians of the Graveyard of Innovation can destroy the evidence....

You heard it publicly here first.....

Every single conspiracy theory is true...of course, once you untangle them all, the net result is that nothing changes...the Grey aliens can;t take over the world because they'd inherit the whole mess, Oswald acted alone because listening to the Mafia, the CIA, and the KGB try to explain things to him gave him a headache, and nothing any of the various secret organizations, brotherhoods, and syndicates can do can pull the economy out of the crapper, or change the fact that Jesus just wants a decent wage in a fulfilling job, rather than save the world....

Now if you are talking about Black Adder, then I totally agree.

A small child is reading a series of comics and utilises an unknown power and starts unleashing heros and unknowingly villians from comics on our vary world. Unfortunately for all the comic companies he reads every major producer. So they loose control of their creations when they come to life.

Great shades of MOSPEADA:
WW2 is won by the Nazis, who take over the globe, but with the assistance of rogue German rocket scientists(or shadowy organizations), the Allies manage to launch passenger-carrying rockets from their last remaining aircraft carriers, and launch sites in the American West, South America, and Australia...carrying the best, the brightest, and the seeds of a government in exile and a secret colonial expedition...
Forty-Fifty years later, the Nazis have taken over Earth, and are starting to launch into orbit...The Allies have colonized the Moon, Mars, and the Jovian moons, and now launch a series of efforts to retake the Earth from Hitler's Thousand Year Reich....Rocket planes and orbital paratroopers, atomic-powered tanks, and powered armor infantry now attempt to wrest a foothold from the Nazi juggernaut....and if they fail...a series of giant nuclear missiles(or a dinosaur-killer asteroid) is following the Allied fleets to sterilize Europe/the Northern Hemisphere and cauterize the pestilence of Nazism once and for all...

Great ones guys!

The World Wars start off at the correct times. The big difference is that instead of bombs and rockets the combatants hurl jokes and verbal bombs. The casualties are the writters who are executed for poor reactions of the victims. Many hundreds of thousands of writters are killed in both world wars by their own side.

Robert Heinlein had a scenario in a short story called "If This Goes On..." where the Allies stop short of producing a full fission chain reaction bomb and instead resort to deploying radiological 'dust bombs' with far longer-lasting radiation/fall-out effects...

Saddam makes offers of sympathy to NK, and promises to help 'smite the Great Satan'(though nothing comes of it) while Iran steps up its promotion of terrorism abroad and eggs the Chinese to be more proactive in opposing 'American Imperialism'...China uses its economic clout as leverage against the Americans, slowing the progress of the war...meanwhile, northern regions of SK are devastated by pre-sighted NK artillery, leading to festering resentment by SK student activists...
On the positive side, nobody accuses the U.S. of getting involved in the war for reasons of oil...

Actually Gaby, it is believed that they had those bombs before 2003. They were allowed to detonate one of their plutonium bombs in Pakistan in 1998.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/dprk/nuke.htm They could actually have as many as 20 bombs according to the article.

What if Albania had developed the first actual nuclear bomb around 1913.

What if nuclear weapons didn't work like they were supposed too. What is the first one actually took out the entire state of New Mexico.

The US drops two nuclear bombs on Japan. The rest of the world freaks out that the US has this kind of power. The lead scientists of the world believe the US does not have enough material to quickly build more bombs and the entire world teams up to conquer the US.

Every human being, at birth, is granted the power, usable any time, to re-do any action of theirs...ONCE. Once you use that re-do, you lose it. It also has to be an action you can do...NO "I'll marry Susan." or "I'll not have that accident I had when I got drunk"...but more like "I'll PROPOSE to Susan" or "I'll remember to clean the obscuring ice off my windshield the night I had that horrible accident."....Some people wait until they're good and old to use their re-do, knowing it will essentially allow them to re-live life(though memories of their prior existance fade with time, with only the knowledge that they already used their do-over being a constant)....the foolish use theirs early, on trivial things...

Both of those are great ones! LostOne's is scary. And Taalismn's is the one we were in. I know I'd use my redo. Over something really stupid I did 22 years ago.

Continued from LostOne's.

As the world invades the US they discover that their supply lines are strectched too far to maintain for long. The US citizens carry out their own form of resistance behind the lines. The ones who aren't conquored continue the fight. The cost is almost incalcuable in human life. And when the other world powers give up on their failed invasion, the US follows on thier attack by massing the largest nuclear stockpile in the world and seal their borders. By the end of the conflict the US controls all of North America and most of South America. And the strength of the New US is truly formidable.

Interesting a series of these Killgore. Must have been inspired to post that many. Cool. Keep them coming!

The US never falls to the coming of the Rifts. It survives as the only country to survive realtively intact. They do not lose technology levels. They also allow people who embraced magic to become part of the military. The mixed forces help destroy the demons. During the war they discovered that the strange blue lights are taking beings from other worlds and depositing them on our world. And these refuges had no say in their coming here. At first they are met with suspicion, but as the post-rifts America finally relents and allows them become citizens. America remains the strongest country in the post-rifts years. There is no CS. The United States eventually reaches out to the rest of the world and helps the world. But of course this takes several centuries to accomplish.

Desmond Bradford seriously underestimates the control he has over his creations when all-out civil war breaks out between the DogBoys and the Kill-Cats(and other felinoids), while the rest of the animal creations pick sides or scurry for cover...

George Bush Jr. Is revealed as an agent of a global conspiracy meant to keep human progress restricted....BY effectively crippling the United States and tainting its reputation, the idea of 'progressive superpowers' is discredited, and a status quo of squabbling less-powerful nation states is maintained...The focus now turns to the economic giant of China...Though revelations of the conspiracy meet with Chinese derision, who see in it an anti-Chinese propaganda move, and American 'sour grapes' attitude at work...

Moments after stepping on to the Moon, Neil Armstrong is machine-gunned by panicked Nazi astronauts from the secret Nazi moon colony nearby...The last camera footage from Eagle shows a swastika-emblazoned moon rover advancing on the LEM...

America did not turn its back on manned spaceflight or the Moon after the Apollo program, instead going full-bore to explore and colonize the Moon. With the less sophisticated technology of the time, there are fatalities, but the 'New Frontier' takes on a momentum of its own, and advances come quicker as spin-offs of the space program...Russia tries even harder to compete, and despite some promising attempts(and some hair-raising incidents involving the militarization of space), collapses under the economic burden and the blow to its national morale even sooner...

Rather than go loggerheads with each other, both the Coalition and Tolkeen ally with each other as the two poles of a unified resistance and reconstruction effort to bring civilization back to North America....Chi-Town, the Industrial Techno-Center, and Tolkeen, the Magic center, form the Centralist Alliance, and become a beacon of coperation and adaptation in a hostile world...

It is discovered that after people die they go to a dimension just slightly beyond ours. We can't physically go there, but everyone who has every lived ends up there. It's a staging area for the next jump. Once all of humanity arrives there they'll make the jump to the next level of existance. In this way you'll get to meet the most famous and infamous people hwho ever lived.

It turns out there is a massive enemy fleet coming in from another galaxy with the intentso f wiping out intelligent life in our galaxy. The leaders know and are terrified to tell the public. According to the aliens we have maybe a little over one hundred years before the reach us with their main force. Their scouts will arrive here in less than ten.

It's as if the target system have simply ceased to exist altogether! Now the CCW is broken, the FWC is no more, the Kreeghor are unexpectedly knocking on the UWW's doorstep, the Altess are getting worried, the Golgans are finding themselves flooded with refugees, the CosmoKnights don't seem to be responding to calls for help, and a massive TGE fleet has been sighted headed for Phaseworld!
