musings of a player too new to understand the reasons why

Perhaps I will be warned that this was an ill advised move. I might be told off here in my comments or over PM.

Chances are that won’t happen, but for what it is worth I think it needs to be said anyway.

Wake up!

Drop everything and take a good look at yourselves. At the state of the eUS, at the state of its people.

I know what you see. You see Us vs Them. The JCS military vs the USAF, Parties all against each other. That all the evil lies in a few set people here, let’s just ignore Pizza here, that’s a different case entirely.

I beg to differ. I see splinters of what was once greatness, fragments of what used to be good.

And I wasn’t even alive to see those times.

I’m new, I make no argument otherwise. And perhaps it’s time that everyone else sees what I do.

I see remnants of relationships, ties that were severed. I see things that are still great, but have, perhaps lost some of that spark. I see groups that used to be great, but have diminished.

I want to know what the hell happened.

I want to know what was so wrong with the people who don’t play the game the same way as you that we had to shatter like this, to constantly fight amongst ourselves.

I’m at a loss as to why there is so much animosity, between the JCS military and the government. Between AMP and the USWP, (though to be fair I’ve also seen people calling them the same thing) Us versus Them.

It sounds like a problem of pride, from both sides.

We have all made missteps. At every turn in this game we have all made an error in judgement.

I can’t help but think that we have let that dominate us. We have let it divide us.

I’m at a loss for how we have wound up here. Where all we care about are numbers.

And maybe I’m insane for thinking that we can do better than this.
