British politician and statesman, Joseph Chamberlain, said "The day of small nations has long passed away. The day of Empires has come." Ambition is a powerful motivator that will lead men and women to take questionable risks. In this game, players will build their own empire in a hostile land that seeks to crush them.
American science fiction writer, Frank Herbert, said "If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets." Who among us hasn't wished to be bigger, faster, richer, or be granted more than what we think we have? Wishing is the act of longing and in this game, players will need to decide if what they long for is worth the risk of pursuing.
Former professional wrestler, actor, political commentator, author, naval veteran, and politician, Jesse Ventura said, "Wrestling is ballet with violence." I could not agree more. The men and women who wrestle in the ring perform tremendous feats of strength and endurance, all timed and rehearsed to depict seemingly violent acts. Wrestlers are a mix of actors and athletes that put on shows where the danger of being hurt is very real, but that's all part of the allure.
Let's be clear. Your job does not exist. Your employer does not exist. Those alien artifacts and technology you see over there. Those doesn't exist either. Yes, you exist. Don't be silly and don't let your control area get out of .. well .. control. We like to keep things clean and organized here. And by "we", I mean no one. Now get to work, Agent.
American syndicated columnist, pundit, author and radio commentator, Cal Thomas, said "One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are." Many share this point of view, but there are still many more who consider politics and politicians vitals gears in the democratic machine, for better or worse. In this game, players pit politicians from different time periods to debate universal concerns.
Life has a way of taking your plans and flipping them upside-down. One of the many reasons I wake up in the morning (other than that whole "being responsible' thing) is my excitement for what the day might bring. Seldom am I disappointed. In this game, your plans all hinge on timing, but don't be surprised if everything gets flipped around.
