An Alternate Timeline: What Would've Probably Happened if Chye Was Never Banned?
On February 22, 2025, Chye was banned from the Chess.com Custom Variants Club and VW. This decision abruptly halted what had been a long period of consistent growth, academic balance, and rising recognition within the community. The ban disrupted both personal goals and creative momentum. But what if that event had never occurred? What if February 22 had been just another ordinary day?
This essay outlines a realistic and grounded alternate timeline — not misinformation, but a plausible and well-reasoned version of events based on what was actually happening at the time. It presents a likely picture of how things would have unfolded had the ban never happened.
February 22, 2025 – A Normal Day
In this timeline, there is no ban. Chye continues participating in the Custom Variants Club and VW without incident. No violations, no appeals, and no interruptions to school or online life. He remains an active member, contributing variants and helping shape discussion across the community.
With that, progress continues uninterrupted.
March 2025 – Building on Solid Foundations
With no disciplinary action affecting his account, Chye remains on track with both his community contributions and academics. Variants such as Hilly Jungle III — submitted earlier in January 2025 — continue to define his design style. He spends March working on new ideas, receiving feedback, and polishing his submissions.
Importantly, without the stress caused by moderation actions, school grades remain stable or improve, avoiding the dip that happened in the real timeline.
April 2025 – Recognition Grows
By April, Chye's approval rating in the community would realistically rise to around 85%. His activity is consistent, and his behavior mature. Club members begin seeing him as a dependable contributor with a growing understanding of what makes a variant balanced and engaging.
May 2025 – Strongest Submission Yet
This month, Chye submits one of his most refined variants — Yolanda. It’s a major step forward in quality and shows clear improvement over earlier designs. Even if not immediately accepted, it stands as proof of how far he’s come.
His reputation for improvement and consistency becomes widely acknowledged.
June 2025 – Academic Success and NCV Application
Thanks to continued focus and mental clarity, Chye earns strong exam grades. With that confidence, he applies to become an NCV tester — a trusted role in the community responsible for helping test and refine new variants before they’re officially accepted.
Based on his record, there is little doubt he would be seriously considered. Many in the community already see him as capable of that responsibility.
July 2025 – On the Verge of Being Accepted
By this point, it's highly likely that Chye is either officially accepted as an NCV tester. He helps test variants, provide structured feedback, and coordinate playtesting sessions. Others begin tagging him regularly for review and input.
August 2025 – Thriving in a Trusted Role
With his new responsibilities, Chye performs consistently and responsibly. He proves capable of giving fair feedback, upholding quality standards, and keeping discussion civil.
He becomes a key part of the community's submission pipeline, helping ensure new content is tested thoroughly before launch. The month becomes a highlight of the year — productive, smooth, and fulfilling.
September 2025 – A Trip, No Regrets
In this alternate universe, Chye does so well academically that their parents let him travel to USA in September. There’s no stress hanging over his head, no need to check forums for appeals or responses. His work as an NCV tester has already been noticed, and his return is anticipated.
October 2025 – Standing Out Among Peers
By now, Chye is widely recognized as the most effective and active NCV tester in the community. He helps new submitters improve their variants, gives structured advice, and contributes regularly to discussions about mechanics and balance.
His feedback is taken seriously by both other testers and moderators.
November 2025 – Milestones Achieved
This becomes a month of dual achievement. In school, Chye is recognized as a Top 10% Achiever in Year 10, reflecting his strong academic performance and balance between school and hobbies.
In the Custom Variants Club, nearly everyone knows who Chye is. His role is clear, his contributions valued, and his presence constant.
What Wouldn’t Have Existed: The Unban Series
In the real timeline, the months following the ban led to the creation of the Unban Series — a symbolic project featuring dozens of variants, including The 50 States of Unbanamerica, meant to be submitted after August 22 as a protest or personal expression of frustration.
But in this alternate timeline, those variants would have never been made. Only the first 13 variants, designed before the ban, would exist. There would have been no need to create a protest series — because Chye would have already been accepted, supported, and progressing steadily.
Summer 2026 – Career Preparation
By the time Southern Hemisphere summer arrives in 2026, Chye is ready to apply for his first real job. He has actual experience to show:
Conclusion
Had Chye never been banned on February 22, 2025, the results would have been significant and overwhelmingly positive. He would have continued improving his variants, earned a respected position as an NCV tester, maintained strong academic performance, and avoided the stress that followed the ban.
The Unban Series, including The 50 States of Unbanamerica, would never have existed — not due to censorship or failure, but because they were never needed in a timeline where progress was possible.
This isn’t fiction. This is not misinformation.
This is a timeline that could have easily happened — and still shows what was possible, if not for one decision that changed everything.
