Malcom's Journal Entry 1: Tonight a Country Died

Day 1,702, 11:51 • Published in USA USA • by Jon Malcom

It's cold. Perhaps too cold.

I know this game, I know their strange writings. I get their twisted humor.
I understand the small level polticians that wanted to do good, I get the old way politicians that think they are always right.
I understand the power plays that are made daily, I get that whatever you do you will never change the system.
Never. You get that brand new player? You understand me yet? You can fight the most battles, you can make your own companies, and you can say your in control.
Like a mouse controls his wheel spinning. Yeah you're in control.


I look up as I pass a shop with televisions going and President Evry praising America for going to war with Canada. You can throw all the damn acronyms you want at the problem, CTRL/PEACE/FIST/TERRA/EDEN...whatever you say it's been that way since I joined.

It's all rubbish as far as I am concerned.

You can tell me it's leaked logs, or bad communication, fine. Say that.
Hitler's troops actually planned the attack on Poland to start World War Two. I think the logs are just an excuse to draw away your attention from what's really going on.

But what has been going on? A serious drought is what's going on.
People want excitement and what excitement is there when the elections are for the most part controlled?
War. That's exciting.

I pull my coat tighter to my face as it's another cold night. No thanks I don't want your Q4 weapons and I rather you stop begging me for food.
effin noobs...
Maybe the cold isn't the weather, maybe it's the lack of sanity. Maybe it's the lack of warmth in people these days.
Yeah a real America, quite united. So united we have ATO units, we have all kinds of dangerous foreigners coming in and dangerous Americans going out.
We have a president who tells us we will free Canada from their foolish leaders. Who the hell gave us the right to go around freeing countries from any leader? Your starting to sound like a RL POTUS now.

Remember what the good book says, pride goeth before destruction. Sounds like destruction is going to get the door for us, help us with our coat, and let us pick up the check.

So I go to my apartment, lock the door, sit down, take off my equipment, and brush my teeth and wait. Wait til we start firing on Canada.

Canada and America have been close.
But not after tonight, tonight a country died.

The question is which one was it?
