Defend The Farm Or Steal The CropsEchoing my own feelings, player Avantgame writes in horror about the latest stories. As shortages spread and fuel prices skyrocket, the country seems to be in free fall. But Avantgame has an idea to counter the chaos: games. Because they bring people together and build a common purpose.

And then I discovered PeakProphet, too, who has calm words to pour onto the troubled waters.

I’m glad they posted these. I know this is just a game, but… to be honest the latest accounts on the WWO site have been getting to me. I look at the price of gas now – over $6 a gallon! – and just know that would just wreck the lives of a LOT of people that I know. This game has a way of looking just like real life.
