Anyway, stay awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy from the UN. Seriously. Most RP'ers are intelligent enough to know what's going on in the world, so everyone knows the UN is essentially pointless, outdated and completely ineffective.
Like the IGS then?
No, Nikita. The IGS is what the roleplaying community makes of it as a whole. When people decide using it for the purpose it is meant for, then it will be used for that purpose. If you fall into the trap like everyone else in turning every thread into the game of 'hurl an insult as the person above you', then of course... it becomes worthless.
A person may roll their eyes or complain, but that is the truth of it. And it starts with the few that understand that.
I respect Ben's project in what he is trying to achieve, and if executed properly, has much potential to be an important role in politics. If there is one thing we are to learn from this event, is that even information, media, and peacekeeping shouldn't be completely centralized and controlled especially by a suspicious race. If we are doing everything else down to controlling rescources on planets, why are still trusting the NPCs on these aspects of life?
We should let the people make organizations to run these. I also think
Arcadia News Network should be promoted more and be expanded if it can.
