The Common European Mange-Donkey

A friend of mine wrote this essay for a class that he took called "Confronting Moral Dilemmas." It's pretty funny - read past the first few paragraphs for the better parts. For what it's worth, he got an A on this paper. At the beginning of the term, I felt as though I had a coherent grasp on many concepts concerning morality. I have strong opinions concerning many of the issues mentioned in the course catalogue, and I was excited to take a class which would focus on moral dilemmas and allow me

Scarcity

One thing that I have been convinced of for quite some time is that Cybernations would benefit greatly from an introduction of some sort of scarcity in resources. At present, only two genuinely scarce resources exist - senate seats, which aren't exactly fought for tooth and nail, and members, which is fairly arguable as members that one alliance wants are vastly different than members another alliance wants. There's a reason that Starcraft games never last more than about an hour, and Empire Ear

Class Divisions in Cybernations

This evening, I had to write an essay for my online lit class that compared my culture to a culture we explored in one of the units that we did. I chose class, and chose to do a comparison to CN culture instead of RL culture. I procrastinated and I had a word limit, so this is the essay I came up with - 2 hours, and 1500 words (I think this one is actually about 1700 because I added in a couple paragraphs I took out for submission to class for the sake of length). There are some definite flaws i

An Analysis of the Current Situation

Based on the following threads found in the Alliance Announcements section: Ragnarok Declaration of War R&R Declares War on New Sith Order Viridian Entente Declaration of War GOD Declaration of War Decree of the Sith TENE Declaration of WAr I have gathered the following information. It is to be believed that RoK is, in fact, at war with the NSO. Not only that, R&R, VE, and GOD are also at war with NSO. I know, this information seems all too "backroom" for me to be posting it here

Why Nintendo Has Won

Okay, the title is a tad dramatic. But I figured I'd open up this discussion. I am currently enrolled in some summer courses at my local community college. The writing course I'm taking has a textbook called "Signs of Life In the USA". On this textbook's cover are a number of symbols that are fairly emblematic of American society - a backpack with a laptop in it, an iPod, an SUV, popcorn, pop, a grocery bag, a raffle ticket, a large TV or monitor, high heels, and (most notably, for my purposes)

The True Menace

Everyone has been trying to determine who the real enemy is right now. Gramlins thinks it's IRON, IRON thinks it's Gramlins, everyone else thinks that it's our inability to shut up about it. Well, search no more! I have exactly what you are looking for here. Now, this morning, I was just looking at the updated MDP web (I managed to get a download of it way back when it was introduced), minding my own business, when suddenly, out of nowhere, THIS pops into my vision, practically blotting out the

CN Ethics - Part 1

What is Cybernations? Ultimately, Cybernations is a game. That will be the first big claim I make, but I’m going to anticipate that most people will agree with me on this one; if you don’t think Cybernations is just a game, you’ve got some priorities to rearrange. Now, in making this claim, I’m not speaking about alliances at all. I recognize that a lot of alliances have a stronger community that could at least partially survive a sudden absence of Cybernations. That’s awesome; if you want to in
