Greetings,
I come bearing the sigil of a forgotten standard.
DO IT FAGGOT YOU WON'T
Have you forgotten?
Do you remember why you're here?
I read an article a moment ago, by Franklin Stone. It seems he would have you believe that we are not having fun because there is not enough political infighting.
I must respectfully disagree.
If political bickering made this game fun, this would be the most interesting country in the history of all creation.
We have gained full resource bonuses and... for what? To tread water? To maintain the status quo, until we've all grown so bored and lethargic that we can't even think of a reason to click buttons?
What are we waiting for?
What is it we're so afraid of?
Are we afraid that we will push too hard and the world will collapse and we will be wiped? And then what, we might care again?
What a tragedy that would be.
It's time to remember.
It's time to wake up.
Ironically, Franklin's thesis of division was made in the context of creating a team; a united peoples. But what people ever united by mutiny? From what soil does a team grow? The answer is simple. A team is a hearty thing and grows from any soil, so long as you stop arguing about what's wrong with the soil and start planting seeds.
It doesn't matter what our Government is. It doesn't matter whose in charge. It doesn't matter whose vision we claim as our own. All that matters is that we recognize each other as our brothers and recognize that our only true enemy is peace.
Squabbling over the scraps of power will never gain us and it never has.
We need, not the fickle eddies of political discourse to sooth us, but the fire of war to push us out of our loathsome comfort and drive us into the hearts of new lands.
Franklin believes we have gone too far.
I believe we have not gone far enough.
I believe that is not even possible.
Raise the war tax and strangle the peasants that would not lift a finger to find their glory.
Distribute the weapons and rations.
Stoke the fires of the War Machine.
Let all who would fight chew and eat their fill.
Let the consequences be damned.
Burn and salt the Earth in our wake.

Push the Wall all the way into the Ocean.
Follow it in.
Die.
And then know Glory.

This actually... is a pretty good article.
Oblige, remember the faith; the love of the game; and the fun. This is what we had before.
If you honestly still care then this is what the game can and should be.
RAWR, this article makes sense!
Nice article. Thanks for sharing your art form with us.
Many teams have grown from the ashes of a mutinies. (Look at our eDictator, for example.)
Which I am sure such a thing is possible, forgive the hyperbole and stark terms of the article, I struggle to think of ones that have met with much success. I would argue that the first thing that tends to happen is a new absolute ruler and success of none but a select few. Even the United States victory over England struggled for decades to be a cohesive whole.
As for your your reference to WildOwl, I tend to think you are inserting the name of your enemy, rather than asserting any real argument, as you've really not supported your reasoning in any way. Are you implying that a democratically arrived upon decision qualifies as mutiny? I should think not?
If what has resulted is what you call a 'team' then do you, then, disagree with the thesis of Franklin's argument?
Still, I am wary of mutineers, as they have a tendency to have little interest in doing much besides spouting enough platitudes to garner support but do their version of the same thing, after the dust has settled.
"stop arguing about what's wrong with soil and start planting seeds"
I like it..
SEES is dead.
Long live SEES.
agreed war is the anwer to all questions!
