The aim of this game is to construct a rough chronology of history, as understood by Straight Dopers.
The Rules
[ul]
[li] You are not allowed to consult any external sources (Wikipedia, friends etc.) while you are amending the list[/li][li] Go to the last post in this thread that contains The List, hit “quote” and copy just the list portion (without the quote marks)[/li][li] Add 10 important historical events that are not already on the list. (An easy way to check you’ve added 10 is to preview post and check that the list size is divisible by 10)[/li][li] Do not include dates on any of the events (unless it’s unavoidable like The War of 1812)[/li][li] After a while, the timeline will inevitably get a bit confused, try to add the events at roughly the chronologically correct spot.[/li][/ul]
The List:
(this initial list is largely to provide a nice range of events rather than the most significant ones)
