Popular History

[AntoniaMerEnfant]

This is an experimental new thread I'd like to try. I got the idea today what if we "voted on" history, and began to compile some fun, far-fetched history constructed entirely on your votes.

How it works,

For a few days the thread will be open for "nominations" of historical events- or the outcome of said events. Next, we will host popular votes to determine the outcome.

A few nominations may be thrown out of they contain offensive content (overly sexual, or just poor, poor taste, but that shouldn't be an issue from the group).

To start this off, let's make history.

Our nominations are in for the creation of Earth. Now it's your turn! The guild will vote to decide the history of the dawn of Earth!

Nominations (and their details, are below!)

Well, of course, it's exactly how Scott Adam's said it in God's Debris:

God decided to find out what would happen if he blew himself up.

God decided to mold some clay into various shapes, textures, etc. When He saw all the creations, He couldn't help wondering what would happen if they were alive and thus gave them life and here we are! mrgreen

Having just swept those damn Martians from the galactic maps the highly advanced, highly evolved, but highly immature soldiers of the Probulon imperial navy decided to party on a nearby blue ball of dirt that they often used for big game hunting and hazardous material dumping.

A few drunken sailors, some random encounters with the natives and BOOM. Humans.

Loving the answers. I decided to put up a three day poll- enough for a decent number of people to get on, but I wanted to keep the turnover time brief.

What I'm going to do is take the winning answers and piece them together into the resulting "History of the World". So there is a slight catch I forgot to mention- we're going to try and build off of the previous posts (well, within reason). In other words, we're trying to create a flowing history, no matter how ridiculous.

Example: if we decide the Roman Empire never really fell during the popular history that means that someone may reference underground Centurian societies- or if we decide that America lost the revolutionary war in the popular history perhaps that would mean we are the 50 colonies, you get the gist.

We need some more votes... or this history is going to get very interesting, very fast xd

Well, if we do get a three way tie, the history is obvious:

God formed the stars and planets from clay, and got bored, staring at an empty universe. So he tried blowing himself up to see what happened. As the pieces of God tried to reform, they developed into the various species around the universe, one of which found earth with its sub-human species, and one wild night later, humanity's destiny begins.
