I'm not saying it's justified. It's just what people are do when they feel threatened.

When people feel alone and unsupported by their community they are going to take matters into their own hands in the best way they know how. The rioters, the shop keepers, the police, they are likely all acting in a manner that they feel will best protect what is most dear to them. I don't have a solution but I can't help that think if everyone valued and respected each other as human beings, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic class there would be less violence and property damage in Baltimore (and everywhere).

Yeah, I don't blame them for reacting to violence with violence. Our nation has major racial issues that seem to be getting progressively worse and involve the police as aggressors more and more. In my opinion, people should get outside of their comfort zone and meet people who aren't like them. A systemic change is needed in society that can't be forced by laws or brute power. If we sought to understand each other more not only would it be a safer place, it would also be more interesting.

Yummy! Congratulations in your delicious endeavors together. o/ UPN o/ BK

Welcome! This is a fun community to be a part of. I'm glad to see you already posting.

Welcome to Orbis, Cosme. I look forward to meeting you on IRC. Have fun out there!

Partisan, if you would like to discuss anything feel free to stop by Guardian's forums or query me on IRC. As for my comment to Boony, I just meant there is more to life than being snarky. For example, have a walk in the sunshine and enjoy some endorphins.

Congratulations. To friendship! o/ SK o/ Mensa HQ

Boony001, who did this to you? It's okay to love again.

That is correct, TellUrGrlThx.

Well, to be fair Spite did ask Ashland to reply to his OP. I believe the question he posed was how Ashland went from being a helpful ambassador of PnW to Mensa HQ members when they arrived to spy !@#$ their entire alliance for two plus weeks. Kind of a baiting question. Anyway, Ashland and BoC have posted in this thread that they have their reasons and they clearly don't want to discuss it. My uneducated take is that Mensa HQ started doing !@#$ in Orbis and other players and alliances began to choose a sides. (Mensa HQ good? Or, Mensa HQ bad?) Those who are not Mensa HQ fans loosely organized to send a not-so-subtle message to make it clear that there were a fair number of detractors who would actively spend big money and use spyops to make Mensa HQ aware of their existence. A war may or may not have been imminent. It ended swiftly with a thud of boring proportions. Now everyone has pent up rage that is finding its way out. Pfeiffer and Ashland put on the get along shirt and appreciate each other and your relative contributions to Orbis. You made your bed now lay in it and take a nap for three months. I <3 you both. P.S. Someone please plan a war without Guardian so I can make some money in the market.

Expected but unpleasant. Lol. o/ Mensa and Friends o/ BoC and Friends

I noticed that Vae Victus was deleted recently, presumably due to inactivity. Would it be possible to keep the wars that others had with a deleted nation in their war history? As it is now it appears that all traces of the deleted nation vanish.

Congratulations on your new treaty. P.S. Just say no. http://youtu.be/ub_a2t0ZfTs
