augustus334 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 As I look around, all I see are people spending money and losing infrastructure. There is no progress. But their is a solution. Form a Council of Elders. Here's how it works. Each alliance that wants to be part will send one representative. All the representatives will be able to talk so instead of unnessecary violence, all alliance can focus on making their members grow and prosper. It would not be an alliance, you would still keep your AA as whatever you want, it would just be something in your bio. This idea is a work in progress. Please comment.

Uncle Stalin Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Alliance leaders already talk to each other about issues in private channels. It doesn't stop war from happening. I'm going to have to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustus334 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 yes some alliance leaders do talk, but not all of them, and when alliance leaders talk privately, it's not always about peace and building up nations, it's about secret war plans. I think it's nessecarry for their to be a real group dedicated to helping all alliances grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgoods45 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I kinda like the way things are at the moment. So no. Also, there is no secret war plans being discussed in Athens at this point in time. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Feather Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The reason this won't work is that this game is built on war. Tensions build, politics get scrambled and every few months someone starts something. And it's not like anything bad happens as a result. Sure, pixels are lost, but this isn't like in real life where wars have serious consequences. So very few people on Planter Bob will be motivated to try and prevent war. And those that are already have gone and joined GPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChairmanHal Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I like the naive sense that if we would only get to know each other and talk things out that all the world's problems would be solved. First you have to change hearts. Good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzptm Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 We of Himynamistan are in a war with an opponent that is rather gleeful about bashing us about. We're having a nice discussion, but the bashing continues all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D34th Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Violence is never unnecessary and the only reason of people want to grow and prosper is to do more damage to their enemies when the violence begins. If you don't like it, there is always the neutral alliances who unhappily soon or later will be targets of the unnecessary violence too.

Dochartaigh Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 this sounds like the UN ideas that get brought up usually when there is a major war... War is fun. not to mention, if we all loved one another, we may as well just join a neutral alliance and be done with anything resembling politics on Planet Bob.

Also, in reply to the OP, as much as I despise what so many blocs turn into, they do seem to be a necessary evil, one that is probably the best you can hope for in your desire to work out problems on a large scale. All encompassing organizations like your good-intentioned Council of Elders have yet to address the fact that not everyone wants to get along at all. If you can find a common interest we all share, that would be the best first step. I am afraid I do not see one interest all of us share here on Planet Bob, but I am open to being corrected.

kpcurley Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Nah kid, this isn't a solution. When it comes right down to it, it would mean lots of alliances giving up political power. and that ain't gonna happen. It's a good try though, just not practical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schattenmann Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I never really understood what makes people want to end all war on Planet Bob. It's been a year since there was a war worth talking about. A year. War is an aspect of politics, and every-so-often things will come down to war. Every nation is its own ATM, in the year after this war, every nation will be stronger than it was today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulafaras Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 personally if we formed such a council and had no tension/war on planet bob anymore, i would desert my nation within a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's a plug. I admit it Best of luck to both sides of this conflict. Keep it up as long as you like, (although everyone in Lander Clan has gone to bunkers just to get out of the nuclear winter) and those of us who are not involved will sell you tech - or buy it from you - when you're done.
