Human beings are motivated to amass resources through violence, and then pool these resources into a central location where they can live at peace and pursue the things that really matter in life.. family, hobbies, pleasure.

Rome was such a place, guarded and the center of culture and riches. Everywhere else in the world Romans incited violence and subjugation, carrying off everything that would be needed for Rome to continue being an isolated pocket of wealth and extravagance.

People talked a lot about bringing Rome down. Hannibal came within sight of Rome, after devastating the last line of defense the city had at Cannae. And even Hannibal doubted himself, backed away from what could have been the sacking of Rome, and spent the last years of his life evading Romans on their own continent.

So my question is.. we all blame the donut, but would any of us do it differently? Power is acquired so we can protect the things and people we love. If you really want to do something about it, be the instrument of change and go bring it down. But seriously, stop whining for CCP to do it for you.

It's been buggy all week. It's like a conspiracy to weed out badposting by deleting them before they hit Straight

But ye, always copy your posts before submitting just in case the draft function doesn't pull them back. It was like this for a while when these forums replaced the old ones.

You could do the copy-paste thing (:effort:), or wait for CCP to fix the forum (coming Soon™), or you can let me fix the forums for you. Pay special attention to the "NoNom™ anti-post-eating protection" for the feature you're looking for.

I sort of lost the point of this thread after two or three pages of toilet humour

Monopolies are bad, wars are bad, a lack of toilets is really bad.

Going to war to break a monopoly usually results in the winner taking up the reins of the monopoly. The result is the same.

Get Big, Get brave, get devious, get rolling and grab that monopoly. Its better off in your hands rather than someone else's right?
