Salem

We are the free people of Salem.

We are the men and women of this brave new land. We are those who have journeyed into the fruitful, yet unsettled lands of Salem, to hew for ourselves a gem from the raw goodness of the wilderness and plains. A gem, which we can call solely our own. A gem that we are proud to defend against any and all who wish to challenge our rights to it.

We have no leader and no government, only a common wish, and a common goal. Our goal is our leader. Our goal is to be free and to remain free.

We are the people who remain free in the face of oppression. We are the people who believe in the right to protect our lands with our own 2 hands, and not be forced to give into those who systematically opress all those who are free.

The free people of Salem do not seek revenge. Nor do we seek to disturb others who do not to wish to be free or to protect their lands with their own 2 hands.

The free people of Salem stand only for their own personal right to freedom. And though we stand for ourselves, through our common goal we are bound together. For after all, if one man loses his freedom in the face of tyranny, it is an affront to the idea that we stand for and threatens all we believe in.

We have been here since the dawn of Salem. And we will remain here long after it's fall. We are the free people of Salem.

Is this a call to action or something? Nobody wants to lose their precious carebear toon trying to fight their oppressors. It's just like how dis and ainran ruled haven. Nobody wanted to risk anything to throw them out of their place.

The chief, the Russians, and Darwoth will not be stopped any time soon (the chief sooner than others)

I'm not even bothered by those guys, the snakes were more of a hassle before the patch

You either have a bad case of false security or are ignorant to your surroundings.

Because as long as the oppressors give some modicum of freedom and "safety," few will be willing to take up arms and change it. It's even more true when the potential aftermath will mean chaos reigns. Who can blame them, though? Most are just looking for a mild experience. It takes a special kind of crazy to want to lead a bunch of crazy people who crave the chaos and destruction.

My opinion of the game overall is that you're going to see more of this if we get more servers open. If not the Tribe, then other factions that spring up and do their best to dominate a server or at least a large section of one, just like Dis/Ainran did in Haven. Some will rule with an iron fist and not offer anything like a treaty. The server is theirs and theirs alone. Others will do like the tribe and be a shepherd to the masses (be it a kind and gentle one or a bunch of sheep molesters). This is what has founded nations over the centuries and will continue to do so no matter where we go as humans, in space, the depths, or virtual frontiers.

Exactly, this is the way the game works. You can steal all my stuff every day, but I will never participate in a protection racket. The game is great entertainment whether you rule the server or are just trying to survive. Nothing bothers me about the politics of the game world because the mechanics are satisfying enough, to me.

cool story bro
