Balmung Cycle Part I: The Messenger and the Heretic

Skadie's Underpass is a future area that I haven't actually developed yet. It's just there to add a little more depth to the world.

If you haven't been to Marmenill yet, you should go there (Take the far south bridge after heading north of the Noatun Checkpoint)

Pirates 4?

No more Pirates please.. it's been done. The 2nd and 3rd films were really poor. I thought Depp had a bit more integrity than this. Move on!
The second film was still strong in the spirit of the first one. The main issue is that it didn't go anywhere for its length and the closure provided by 3 was underwhelming to the point of making the movie viewing experience an exhaustion. 1 was great, 2 was good, 3 was the dud. Anybody who hated the second film hates adventure and hates fun, yes I am making a gross generalization.

that said I don't see anything a fourth movie could bring to the table unless they went back to a standalone film that was completely contained within itself. Even then, the third movie just burnt out the franchise

Cool story bro, too bad this isn't ever going to happen.

We don't have the resources right now to declare a state of martial law. It requires a lot of military power, especially for a nation this big. With our military scattered all over the globe, we'd have to abandon a lot of bases which is something that would never happen because there are assets that the US cares too much about.

There's some serious shit deals going down right now, but this isn't one of them
The problem isn't "ooh, martial law," because obviously that's an exageration. The problem is that this is yet one more example of the eroding freedom of the nation. Today it's deploying military units to places within the nation, tomorrow it's using them to break up assemblies that go too long, and the day after that it's hunting down political dissidents because they voted the wrong way in the last election.

Every time we let the government get away with this stuff just because "Oh well, it's not THAT big a deal," we get closer and closer to a dystopia. The right loves to throw around their "Freedom isn't free" buzzwords, and they're right: the cost of freedom is constant vigilance and sometimes, sacrificing your security in favor of liberty. I will gladly suffer the danger of terrorist attacks if it means I don't have to deal with our own soldiers being taught to eye us as potential threats.
The government limits the rights and say of the shrinking middle class all the time. It's been on a downward spiral for nearly a decade, and seeing as how the U.S. is practically a plutocracy I don't see the little guy having much hope or say in what's really going on here.

Just wait until after the elections are over to begin worrying if you're that type. If McCain wins then it basically means democracy is a failed experiment and we need to move on.
