:lol: A group of friends that were wanting to have some trade circles & tech deals, thought we could vote in a Senator while we were at it... seems the resulting singleness of effort achieved it's intended goal. Drai sucks at winning.
My biggest issue with Agora isn't that NPO is getting tech, or winning games. I could care less about Tetris. But my qualm lies rather with the fact that they are in a place to influence politics in the Blue sphere, and that Agora veils said influence as promotion of "Blue Unity"... For Real? I'll shout, "Go Big Red!" but to bastardize the idea of Blue unity? I can understand needing guidance and organization, but do not many of the alliances not currently in Agora have an abundance of talent with these qualifications? Did not the Leaders and Ministers of Finance and Banking of Polaris, GR, Hyperion, among others, pull off one of the fastest turnarounds of post war reps ever? Do many of these same alliances not have the ability to organize their nations to clean up in a senate race? Why then would those alliances who formed Agora feel the need to outsource said Blue abilities to NPO? Friends are cool. Red friends are cool. But causing segregation and separation in the name of unity doesn't work.
