GUYS! PLEASE DON'T FIGHT! I HATE IT WHEN YOU FIGHT! IT MAKES ME SAD.
AND BESIDES, ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE ABOUT TO BE SOLVED. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF SOUL SEARCHING AND DEEP THINKING. FINALLY, I CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT WILL MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY! IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF CHANGES TO THE GAME THOUGH. QZ IS GOING TO BE VERY BUSY AFTER HE READS MY AWESOME IDEA, BUT ITS WORTH IT! WE'RE GOING TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE NETGAINING IS ENTERTAINING, MEANINGFUL, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SAFE! THERE ARE SEVERAL STEPS!
STEP 1) WE NEED TO GET RID OF MILITARY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT OFFENSIVE MILITARY ONLY HURTS PEOPLE. THAT'S NOT GOOD TO HURT PEOPLE, AND IT MAKES THEM SAD. AND SINCE DEFENSIVE MILITARY IS ONLY NECESSARY TO PROTECT FROM OFFENSIVE MILITARY, WE DON'T NEED THAT EITHER!
STEP 2) WE NEED TO GET RID OF "DECLARE WAR". IT IS UNNECESSARY WITH NO MILITARY. INSTEAD, IT WILL BE REPLACED WITH "DECLARE YOUR LOVE". WHEN YOU DECLARE YOUR LOVE, YOUR ADVANCES BECOME TEN PERCENT MORE PERSUASIVE.
STEP 3) THIS ONE IS COMPLICATED, BUT WE NEED TO REWORK ALL THE "ATTACK TYPES" (HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS INTERACTION TYPES)
INSTEAD OF STANDARD STRIKE, THERE WILL BE "HOLD HANDS". THIS GETS YOU 2 LOVE POINTS, WHICH IS PRETTY GREAT I'M SURE YOU AGREE.
"BUT SAM, EVERYBODY ONLY HAS TWO HANDS! IF THERE IS AN ODD NUMBER OF PLAYERS, WON'T SOMEBODY BE LEFT OUT AND SAD?"
THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU FOR ASKING IT. BUT DON'T BE SAD. THERE ARE MORE INTERACTION TYPES. ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY!
INSTEAD OF PLANNED STRIKE, "SEND A MIX TAPE".. BECAUSE THAT TAKES A LOT OF PLANNING. THIS ONE IS THE GREATEST, BECAUSE YOU CAN REALLY DO IT IN REAL LIFE AND MAKE A FELLOW PLAYER REALLY HAPPY. IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE A MIX TAPE THOUGH. PROBLY ABOUT 20 HOURS OR SO.
WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE GUERILLA STRIKE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT BY MUCH. MAKE IT A GORILLAGRAM! EVERYBODY LIKES GORILLAS. ESPECIALLY THAT LADY THAT WENT TO LIVE IN THE WOODS WITH THEM FOR LIKE A YEAR. THAT WAS PRETTY GREAT, WASN'T IT?
INSTEAD OF SENDING A BOMBING RUN, YOU CAN SEND A LOVE NOTE.. THIS PART IS REALLY COOL TOO, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE RESET, EVERYBODY GETS TO SEE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE WROTE, AND THEN WE'LL ALL VOTE ON WHO MADE THE BEST NOTE. ITS A SECRET VOTE THOUGH, SO NOBODY GETS TO SEE THE RESULTS.
"WELL THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE VOTING?"
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION! YOU ARE REALLY FANTASTIC! BUT IF WE SHOWED THE RESULTS, THEN SOME PEOPLE WOULDN'T DO AS GOOD AS OTHERS. THAT WOULD PROBLY MAKE THEM SAD. BESIDES, THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF THE VOTING. YOU VOTE SO YOU CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT SAYING SOMETHING NICE ABOUT SOMEBODY.
INSTEAD OF ARTILLERY BARRAGE, "SNUGGLE". THIS ONE CAN ALSO BE DONE WITH AS MUCH PEOPLE AS YOU WANT, SO THERE'S UNLIMITED POINTS.
THE POINTS REALLY DON'T MATTER THOUGH, BECAUSE (STEP 4) WE'RE GOING TO GET RID OF THE SCORES LIST. WHEN THERE'S A SCORES LIST, SOME PEOPLE LOSE.. LOSING MAKES PEOPLE SAD. AND BESIDES, NOBODY HERE IS ANY WORSE THAN ANYBODY ELSE. WE'RE ALL JUST DIFFERENTLY GIFTED, I'M SURE YOU ALL AGREE.
I ALSO THINK THE RESETS PROBABLY SHOULDN'T END, BECAUSE THAT PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON PEOPLE.
I KNOW THIS WAS REALLY A LOT TO READ, BUT I HOPE YOU ALL READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH, BECAUSE I REALLY WANT YOU ALL TO READ THIS LINE AND KNOW THAT I THINK YOU ARE ALL JUST THE GREATEST.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY VERY MUCH,
SAM
I AM LOVE
