. . . gets a tip of the baseball cap from me. Well-written, interesting, and timely (it's 1907):

It's a step up from a story about a cell phone video from 1907...

@joefromchicago deserves credit for most of the historical storylines.

Did you see that recently? There was an effort prior to the release of version 18 to eliminate all of those storyline anachronisms. If they're still popping up, it's either because we didn't catch something or there's a glitch in the storyline conditions.

Not anytime recently. I don't specifically recall whether it was in 17 or 18. Kudos for making it more historically accurate.

Aww, the time travelling supermodels are no more

!

I also noticed that in the current storyline file the supermodel's names aren't real supermodels any more lol.

More seriously, it is good to get era appropriate storylines in the game.

This was many versions ago but I was fired with a really funny message:'

"You can be anything you want. Except the manager of the Casper Ghosts. You have been fired"

Years (and many firings) later I still laugh about that.

Yes, the tempestuous relationship between Kate Upton and Ty Cobb ("KaTy") is no more.

This has made me want the ability for storylines to actually generate "correct" portmanteau couple names on the fly

Yes, I'm quite, quite mad.

You're also quite literate as indicated by your correctly using the word "portmanteau" in a sentence.
