Game Angst

Well I have been thinking, if and when NS2 comes out (I am not getting into that in this thread) I have come to the conclusion that the angst and wars would be quite massive. Take CN for example, it became so polarized into warring camps and so much bitterness emerged that people started to take it seriously beyond belief (I kind went down that path and that's why I left). This effect if the NS community got new game with a war mode could turn quickly into ideologically opposing sides etc, it would be like the angst of NSG into a game (:eek:). Because of the political partisan nature of the NS community, I figure that if a war game ever comes about this CN-effect would be intensified, mainly because CN is divided based on personal relationships/hatreds in alliances, while in NS hatreds form simply based because the other person has different views. Anyone from CN or a game like it will probably know this effect.

Comments?

I've been a player of Monarchy, Promisance, and Earth 2020. NS aint no different aside from the fact that war isn't a factor, that being said its very probable that we will divide up into warring tribes full of loathing for one another... :cool::p

Political boards like NSG have far more angst than any wargame I know of. I think NS2 would actually be much "nicer" than NSG. :eek:

But it probably would be as bad or worse than CN.

Can't be much worse than general, or at least the RP forum two years ago. THAT was fucking horrifying.

Yeah, where can I find one of those? :p

I wouldn't upgrade either, unless too many people left.

I'm more scared of the CN game play appearing (collect taxes-pay bills-repeat), though I probably won't upgrade because I'll never use it
