What more do you want? | Started by: Gene_Hunt on Feb 27, '13 22:30 |
Good. I got your attention. Shouting such statements in these streets usually does. |

Well Gene, I consulted ancient family journals and it seems that your distant relatives tried to stifle the creativity that you now want for these Streets.
It's good you've seen the error of these ways.
What do people want on these Streets?
IMO, people want a good newspaper, an undergroup group's statements, lively arguments, reasons for deaths and announcements of wars.
A better question to ask is this: Why have the streets been quite quiet? |

I agree with some of your points, Gene, but one stuck out for me, and that is the being ridiculed part. Back in the days of my forefathers the streets were a lot more strict than they are now. A simple stutter, Grammatical error or an already covered subject from a speaker and a whole rabble of people would line up to insult them. If anything, I think that the streets are better nowadays with regards to this matter. People are allowed the occasional error and speeches are not watched like hawks. |

Lately nobody seems to be talking about and describing their life in this thing of ours. What I like about wars, aside from the excitement of competing for turf and money, are the subsequent explanations and discussions regarding them. However I think it's a shame if people speak in public only after wars. I think we should try and come out to the street more because we mustn't let the streets die. As I'm telling this I guess I should be first to do it but I'm not exactly a good speaker myself. |

My journals of my fathers say differently. But the past is that and we will have to agree to disagree. |

In addition, I'd also be interested in reading interviews with this thing of ours' top dogs and legends. I'm interested to know how they started and how they earned the position they have now. |

As has already been touched on, activity in the streets is linked to activity in our world. When everything runs smoothly, there is little scope for interesting topics of conversation. As things run smoother for longer and longer periods, there is less and less to discuss. This leaves us with only original works, which are largely dependent on the mood of any street lover at any given time, and generic debates about aspects of our lives, which, as there is no requirement for progression linked to the streets, rarely get too much attention. |

Couldn't have put it better than Mr. Knowles did.
World activity = Street activity.
Always has been, always will be. People harp on about the "good ol' days" but they seem to forget the fact that in those day there were no bodyguards, no forts and less money floating around. Therefore, more conflict developed for people wanting to further themselves in this world. Which in turn created more to talk about, which created more disagreements and debates in the street.... which turned back into people dying faster and people talking about it again. Perfect cycle.
The only fix to the 'problem" (I don't view it as a problem, more of an annoyance) is to swell the numbers with the current tools we have available, which has slowly but surely been happening the last few months. Sometimes we just simply have to face facts... there is only so much to talk about without going around in circles. There are a few creative heads out there who generally try to do the best they can, but it's just not enough to satisfy everyone without the obvious talking point... conflict. |

Perhaps conflict is the only thing that gets the creative juices flowing as both of you say. |

For the past few weeks, we where treated to some excellent newspapers. They where the true highlight of any action on our streets, but alas the printing presses have gone quiet for the time being. Its my hope that they'll come to life again sooner than later. Prehaps in the future, the Gwarble Barble, or some off shoot of its kind will reappear |

I pop back and fore more as a visitor then anything else, feigning a death to escape any consequence for my crimes. The truth is i see a lot of inactivity and the fact over the last few weeks the amount of trusted members i have seen in the obits, or high ranks retiring kinda says a lot for the state we are in. The truth is i talk to people generally in coffee shops and they are fed up of simple things with the way of life, bg's, dead streets, inactivity of members, finding good recruits. I looked around earlier and it said the average criminal only works 2.6 hours a day when i think of the 18 hour days i have put in during the past for all the new or returning blood allegedly entering our ports do they have the same drive as the past or is the lul across everything and is it simply the foreign exchange markets limiting what they can do, the lack of motivation a leader gives or simply the fact the old grey building always look the same.
shrugs and wanders back to work |

It always amazes me the amount of people that think appearing on our streets for a very brief period gives them any sort of insight into the activity of the place. It really doesn't. |
