Forum Hostility (Golden Rainbow)

The Security Council should be

able to revolk war protection.

Thank you for bringing that up Dub. I whole heartedly agree with Dub on this matter.

Changing the way that the SC members are chosen must happen. I have been playing 3 months - 3 months and I am a SC member!!!

Also note items 1 and 3 in the above list.

Right now it takes 4 members out of 15 to veto a measure. That coupled with a proportional representation would eliminate what you are afraid of.

We should also be a able to impeach SC members for failure to perform duties, negligence, or corruption.

ok going from fed stats and representation... I would like to direct you to LU Fed stats. VS has 20 members and we have dominated the list for months. It wasn't until recently that we were removed from the top by feds with well over 40 members each...

#1 is flawed

I know for a fact that SC's can be dominated by a Majority of one fed. Especially on GR, which has few large feds. (actually the reason it remained so peaceful for so long).

Impeachment- maybe- that also could be used as a means of war. by garnering support to oust rival fed members from the SC.

Further freedoms lead to Further Corruption.

Sadly, some people look for excuses to make war, and the forum is a good source. The chatroom is an even better one.

It is not necessary to stay under the radar to avoid a ridiculous war, only to remain objective and reasonable in public, and walk away from silly and meaningless provocations.

Having a very strong fed is also an advantage

White Giant is probably the most peaceful world at the moment, precisely because the dominant fed has a lot of active members, is reasonable and doesn't rise to the bait. Respect engenders co-operation and mutual prosperity. Disrespect engenders strife and misfortune.

Some people want war, others want peace, and hopefully they gravitate to the appropriate world. If you want war, don't come to White Giant. That way, everyone can be happy.

Hugs and respect

@Slare. You might be getting your schools crossed there, my friend. Marxists are the ones who saw economics as the driving force in international relations. Realists were about power relationships.

This whole thread is an interesting study of Idealist normative philosophy VS the realpolitik of the Realists.

If you are into the subject, start up a thread and we'll talk about the application of RW political theory in SC. It could be fun.

stuart what i was trying to explain is that i dont think forum posting causes people's personalities... its just a way for those personalities to get expressed you know? if someone is mean and cranky, then they're going to make insulting and offensive forum posts. etc... i dont believe in any censorship at all, because i think the best way for us to get to know each other is through honesty

I think its even sadder when people provide those excuses than when they look for them.

War Protection and Secured Mode will never be lifted by anyone, but by the Owner. Notice the never.

You mean personalities, and yes it does.

Also, what is doesn't imply it should be. Nor that it has to be necessarily accepted.
There are standards to be met by everyone. You will have to act within these standards. This, you and everyone, already do here and anywhere, even if they aren't aware.

JR, have you never seen the UN in action? <!-/Quote-!>

You obviously don't know the work it takes to hide corruption.


If you have a complain regarding someone on the forum, either message me or mail the Gamemaster. Send me what disturbs you and the link to the thread(s).

I dont quite understand? I am just saying that people will make forum posts given their pre-existing state of being, and that just preventing them by threat of ban from making what posts their instincts tell them to make isnt going to alter their "bad" or "unwanted by community" instincts. Usually attempts to repress behavior only make it even more deviant and extreme
