So I made a suggestion on Babel a few minutes ago and given that many of you here would agree with me that RK is a dying game, I'll share that suggestion here as well.
Let's attempt to create a real world war in RK and see if the massive influx of battling armies and ships will crash the game. And if it can be done, it seemed to work when Bristol Bay occurred, though not intentional I'm sure, then let's do it over and over. RK has become a rabid dog, but it's our rabid dog. The game is dying as more and more people loose interest and new interest is almost nonexistent. Let's have some fun before the end comes, and let's be the ones to finally pull the trigger and put the rabid dog down.
Rk's been a good old boy, we've taught the furry bastard a few tricks, fed him scraps, rubbed his belly, even when he bit and snarled at us, but he was a good dog. I hate to see my little buddy suffer.
Honestly, I don't know if this is even practical or possible. If not, then I'll shut up about this and continue with my harmless Babel trolling until the end finally does come. But if it is, well, it's our game damn it, let us dictate how it dies.
