Ok.
Its fucked. We here, we have more in common than we have that differentiates us. (Why are we drawn here, after all?)
But, we argue. Like silly people. We would be better off collaborating than competing.
OK. Here's my theory:
We are refugees. We can't cope with what's happening arouind us. It's all turning to shit. Everything, and I mean everything, is done for money. And this place is one of those few last bastions. But the lawlesssness that defines here is also its undoing. Because we fight each other, when we should be fighting the common enemy. Just like the MPyth LOBthing (People's f of jud)
This is what's happening to RPGdot. Its the pervasive influence of commerce, of money. The stink of money. It's everywhere.
It's the 'creeping death'.
Now. There's a great villain for an RPG. Actually, it reminds me of the 'Neverinding Story' What a great villain. They already had it worked out.
"The Nothing"
Best metaphor ever for what's become of us. Western capitalism. Just look at the pop music top-40 charts. And compare it with the same from 20 years ago. Dear god, what has happened? The nothing. Music, clothes, everything. Gray, conformist. The Nothing. Forever seek to try to impress that you have money. Gee, great.
Mindless, shoot 'em up. Shitty, bland pop. Predictable, dull, by-the-numbers-hollywood dullness.
And the UGLINESS. The sheer ugliness of what we see on TV or at the pictures, (what's being sold in game shops) nowadays. The violence.
The UNDERVALUING of FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
So.
WE ARE UNDERUSED.
I say to you all: SWITCH OFF THE COMPUTER.
FIND A WOMAN. MAKE SOME CHILDREN.
FOR THERE IS HOPE
