So all this tension between Wyver and Olympia and stuff has me wondering...

Does this remind anyone else of before a war broke out in their homes? Granted I was like.. a little, little kid when mine first started but I remembered this kinda junk going on.

Earthers vs. spacers even out in the streets, that kinda thing.

People acting like they're better than other people because some politician says so, or, you know, some legacy story that makes one 'better' but, you know, when a place is destroyed because some politician wants money or whatever everyone starts looking a lot alike, right?

Also curious if anyone's planning on joining up with one side or the other and why, if you are..

No ulterior motives and definitely not taking names for a roster for someone or anything, just curious on why a refugee would feel so connected to a place already or something like that.

Hey, not meaning to offend here, but are you sure asking this publicly won't stir up trouble?

[braidedwonder]

There’s a chance anyone can pick a fight anywhere.

Isn’t like it’s compulsory to share anyway. “Discretion” and all.

[ofseraphim]

Yeah, you're right, but...

Won't getting people to focus on it just add to the tension and fear - with or without announcing their allegiance here?

[ It's not bad to think on it, just maybe not so publicly?? Sorey's always been pretty discreet about discussion his theories, at least.

The temporary truce between Olympia and Wyver is a paper thin charade, in his opinion, and they need to be prepared for the fallout; but no good comes of scaring the general populace with this kind of talk. ]

I think you're thinking too hard about it.
For some people talking is a good thing. Might even see new points, whatever. It's not our prerogative to start or finish or stop a war anyway, whoever runs the joint is gonna do all of that.

Not compulsory to comment or say. I asked, no one has to share anything they don't want to.

[ofseraphim]

Sharing points is good, and I've learned a lot from talking with people. But only ever in private.

Everyone's always been really careful about talking too loud when it comes to these things, so I can't imagine talking about them here is a good idea.

Although, I guess you're right about the war being out of our hands, so...

[ He'll leave it at that, and stop worrying over this. Probably. Maybe. It's too late to change it, anyway! ...Unless there's some kind of 'undo' button somewhere or something. But he's not experienced enough with technology to see that as possible. ]

[braidedwonder]

So you're saying you can't learn from people in public?

Most people around here from what I've seen are only gonna fight if they have to. Hardly anyone is eager for it.

Give people more credit, huh? I thought I was the jaded dude around here.
