Okay so I've been here a few weeks now and I have some questions I REALLY want answers to.

1. How many people are from a place called Earth?
2. If you are does it have Gundams?
3. If it does what do you use your Gundams for?

So far it seems like there's at least THREE Earths with all different things and they're obviously real to the people who are from there. With the same continents and all but everything else is DIFFERENT and I don't get it at all! So I'm trying to get answers to make it seem less crazy.

ALSO: Is there any way to make Stacy pop someone out of the pods that you know is there or does she just decide that on her own?

They look exactly like them. And yes.

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

That's messed up.

[silverduelist]

... What do you use them for?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

We use them INSTEAD of war.

[silverduelist]

What do you mean instead?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

I mean every nation has a Gundam. The fighters inside the Gundams each represent their nation and whoever wins the Gundam Fight gets to rule the solar system for four years.

[the hell ... is what he'd have said outloud if this wasn't over the network]

I've never heard of anything like that before.

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

[That is what most people would probably say.]

Seems like most places haven't. Which is pretty rotten if you ask me.

[silverduelist]

Rotten?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

Well yeah! War's a terrible thing.

[silverduelist]

Like I don't know that. But things aren't that easy where I'm from.

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

It wasn't easy before WE had the Gundam Fight either but the treaty still got signed anyway.

[silverduelist]

And how is that working out for you in the long run?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

It's been going on for sixty years and there's only been twice that there's been a big problem. So I say it works real well.

[silverduelist]

Lucky for you. But I somehow doubt something like that would work in our situation.

You do what with your Gundams?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

Every four years each nation fights for the right to rule the colonies until the next Fight by using Gundams!

[a_mere_human]

So peace is maintained, and governments decided not through ideals, policies, or even the will of the people, but by brute force and beating your opposition into submission?

That is what you use your Gundams for?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

What?? No it isn't like that! Nations elect the president or however they do it. The Gundam Fight is there to keep them from fighting each other over dumb stuff like what used to happen all the time.

I mean MAYBE you could say it's by brute force but the only Fighters who win are the ones who REALLY understand what fighting is all about!

[a_mere_human]

How does that even work? Either the nations of the ESF elect their own president and your Gundam Fight is pointless symbolism, or the nation that wins your tournament is in charge of the ESF and any election is simply to install a figurehead.

Which is it?

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

No listen. Here's how it works.

[...Man if she knew she'd have to defend the way her world works to some Gundam snob stranger from a different Earth, she'd have paid more attention in history class.]

Each nations's got its own government that has a president or a king or whatever and does all the governing stuff with trade and all. But back in the old days nations would always fight over stupid things like land or religion. So to stop that from happening again they came up with the Gundam Fight Treaty.

Instead of always struggling for power each nation has a chance to rule the Federation every four years. So it changes hands fair and square PLUS you don't have millions of people dying everywhere all the time.

[jesus_is_gundam]

That's absurd.

[cow-abunga.livejournal.com]

To be frank? So's trying to end conflict by beating the crap out of the combatants, but that's basically what you've been explaining you're whole organization as.

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

No it isn't! It makes perfect sense!!

I mean it's not PERFECT but it's better than full-blown war!
