  9. God-tier Myth

    in World Affairs (IC)

    Posted · Edited by Scourge

    You expect truth in a propaganda newspaper?


    To be fair, that's a direct quote. It's not like the team over at PNN made that up to score political points, as you're implying.

    We asked the questions, and printed the answers.

  12. Destruction Stats For this war

    in Open World RP

    War started on Halloween.

     

    Yes, if you could get those stats to reflect war start on 10-31-2013 then this would be an awesome thing.

    As it is now, it discounts the first few rounds of the war which is throwing the numbers you have off a few thousand NS vs. the numbers I've kept on my own from the War Stats.

     

    Thanks for this though.

  18. The Phenomenon of Gerontocracy and the Absence of Politics

    You are forgetting a few things.

    1. There will always be fewer buyers than sellers, therefore they will always have the upper hand.

    2. There is no way you would be able to bring every seller into your union, as there are constantly new sellers enterin the market, and older ones leaving.

    3. In the long run, what you are doing would hurt the sellers when they become buyers. The knowledge that eventually you too will become a bbuyer would probably lower the enthusiasm for such A venture.

    4. Alliances would fight against this sort of thing to keep their upper tiers safe.


    You make a lot of good points, but I don't think that the ideology itself is flawed to the extent of dismissal by them explicitly.

    Obviously, going back to some other posts, the tech market is not the sole reason for the system that we have in place today, but it is however the one area where clear organization by small, young nations could potentially cause upheaval.

    I feel strongly that a large part of the problem with our society is the impatience it presents the younger generation. This is in part caused by tech dealing and the surrounding factors associated with it, such as small or young nations who take to raiding dealers.

    Part of finding a solution is identifying and recognizing problems when they arise. In the past, these issues were simply ignored due to the shear number of voices in the arena. Now that the world herd begins to thin, we should make room for ideologies and ideological movements such as this.

    Too often we focus solely on the negative connotations of ideas, and seek to destroy them rather than explore them. From what I've read of the La Marx's writing, he appears to be offering all nations involved in the tech business an opportunity to re-evaluate the relationship that they share amongst each other, and we should cherish that concept.

    This. So much this.

     

    Also, I'm sure it's been said already (yeah, that's right, didn't read every post), but isn't NpO or possibly TOP protecting CIN and this original poster specifically? I think I saw notification of protectorate status several weeks back...

     

    It was actually R&R following the R&R-COMECON War, and it expired after 30 days (end of Sept. iirc).  At least, that is the only record I can find of CIN every having any treaty.
