Homework assignment

textfilter: chose text/plain from a multipart/alternative

http://www.stargrunt.ca/settings_hist/gzg_timeline/gzg_timeline.htm

Assignment/Competition:

Knowing as you do the major and minor factions in the GZGverse, put
together
an alternate timeline of you own for submission to the list. Assume the
idea
is to preserve a 'fair portion' of the factions and some of the major
events
of the timeline (where that makes sense).

Write up a replacement timeline and perhaps a few point form notes
explaining any major factional or flavour changes in the setting.

Post here or link here on the list.

For one thing, it's interesting even as a way to collect a bunch of
alternate possible timelines and settings (could be useful for players
of
the game). For another thing, it could give all of us some ideas
including
Jon.

Reward:
None as such, but if there is a timeline and some notes in a publishable
format, perhaps I can post various entries on www.stargrunt.ca as
alternate
settings. There is also the challenge of the thing: How to keep some of
the
central aspects of Jon's creation while still applying your own sense of
'what would be most likely/interesting' to it.

I will work on my contribution starting this weekend.
