deth2munkies Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 [quote name='Starfox101' timestamp='1333954753' post='2950296'] I always hope a new Vox will rise, with intelligent, credible people under a just cause. They would have my blessing. Guess this isn't it. [/quote] That'd be nice, but intelligent, credible people are quite rare these days as there's more going out than coming in. I'm no big fan of GOONS, but I'm less of a fan of stupid, though the two aren't always mutually exclusive. I mean if you're going to do something like this, at least copy someone who did it much better than you. That's how I learned the ropes, I read a lot and copied styles with my own spin.

Ernsters Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Please stop, go away for a few months and come back when you have a few people and the cash to actually do some damage. This is just making you less and less efficient, it's probably counter-productive, it's negative efficiency, it's just.. a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Populi was not merely an enemy of the NPO's hegemony, but any hegemony in general. Were a new threat to arise, Vox as a tool could be used again. As I said, it would require our blessing, but I'm sure we would approve were it needed. Now, is GOONS bad enough to warrant a new Vox? That's a definite no.

Joseph Black Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The problem with the Vox parody is that the people that are now leading the Hegemony are the same ones that lead the charge in that conflict. If you really want to turn this into a movement that can gain momentum, look for another theme of rebellion. I'd suggest the Hunger Games (I don't know how that ends), Les Miserables, or any other distopian calling card, and then work your movement into that. Using Vox simply shows that the current regime has control your way of thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the current hegemony leaders were members of Karma, they were the same people who sat on the sidelines hiding with the enemy to stay alive, rather than actively opposing. They moved only once it was safe. Now, it was a smart move, I don't blame them. However the revolutionaries of Vox are certainly not affiliated with the current leadership at all, from what I've seen. Our name should not be affiliated with MK and co. We were only affiliated with FAN, of any large alliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Savage Man Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Any popular and effective resistance-type thing is especially adapted to the circumstances surrounding it. Vox Populi grew in an NPO-dominated CN that would be characteristically different than any hegemony that might arise today. Even today's NPO is different enough that it wouldn't be appropriate. So no you can't really dust off Vox Populi and expect people to take it seriously, given everything that has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Vox had going for it was that it had an enemy worth fighting, that many despised. The world does not really have that anymore. If there were to be a new revolutionary front, I couldn't even see them convincing anyone to join without a name brand. I dunno, but somebody needs to start playing the bad guy. Or GOONS needs to piss off more people than tiny alliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Savage Man Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Resurrecting a dead alliance is counterproductive. GOONS struggled with the stigma for a long time, new \m/ never truly got over it, and a new Vox would suffer doubly because the implications of the name would lead most people to believe the founder is just trying to get cheap points by invoking the name. Sure its not easy but if fighting hegemonic powers was easy, then they wouldn't exist in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
