'Antarctica Becomes A Gargantuan Ice Cube'.
Well it is already or do you mean the land under the current ice cap is also turned to ice. Which would be very bad. The would add a lot more frozen ice that is likely to melt sooner or later. Especially when you consider there are active volcanoes in Antarctica which are now in direct contact with the ice and ice doesn't have the same structural strength as rock so you could see a lot of sheering with very large glaciers being formed and fairly quickly probably melting.

Would this be considered a mass death scenarios scenario. |

If the land became ice, giving a lot more ice and large amounts of it melted then probably. If say you got only 5-10m increase in sea levels that would swamp a hell of a lot of coastal areas, which includes many population centres and agricultural areas. Both directly and because of the resultant chaos and disruption. If a lot of the current Antarctica ice-cap melted your talking about a hell of a lot worse destruction.

No, I mean the whole continent (which would include the ice cap underneath). As you and Lordroel described earlier, I suppose this becomes a mass-death scenario that belongs nowhere but here. Ah, well. Also, 'People's Shadows Come To Life'. |

Would shadows be the opposite of the their humans ore the same character. Not necessarily. Maybe they’d develop personalities of their own, though at least some will end up mirroring (or opposing) the people who originally cast them. |

What if Rommel executes order 66 during the 20 July plot and all German troops (not the SS ore Gestapo) become loyal to him.
