Changes

When a nation builds its walls it does so to raise the moral of the citizens. Citizens will not work their best if there is a constant threat of a raiding nemesis who can think for themselves. A battle hardened foe who knows your weaknesses that you may not even know yourself. How can a person consentrate concentrate without knowing they are safe to do what the Nation needs of them.

When the walls are up and you devote yourself to protecting your people, that is when they finally see you as the Leader you are trying to become. You build your nation's walls and they can actually see the power that you say you have. Becuase Because in the end Actions actions speak louder than words. They finally have the ability to Focus on helping you and their Nation become whatever it wants to be.

But lets remove This Nemesis... what would occur? your citizens no longer have anything to fear. They go out in search of a threat becuase because it is the Adrenaline in life that makes the good times seem better. Its the pain that makes the human mind appreciate the fact that it Is alive. But what happens when the fear isnt isn't even there. They search and they cannont cannot find it, they miss the Euphoric feeling of conquering something and coming out ontopon top. They miss having their work mean something. And so they either go out on their own for good or just disapear disappear into the abyss never to be seen again. Worse yet they spend there times skipping through the shadows trying to get caught doing things that may cause risk to their life... they create the fear for themselves by putting themselves in harms way.

Is this not what the Homeserver truely truly is? They live their lives with no real risk, and they build their walls for no real reason. The leadership faulters becuase because there is no real goal to keep the Ranks together and working as one. They have their Pipe dreams that faulter in the wake of no aftermath. If you do succeed at building what ever it is you build.... what will come of it? will you ever have to defend it or risk your lives to protect what others helped you accomplish? or will it just rot away and be forgotten in the history of Wurm like so many towns before it. Like so many lost dreams of meaningless application.

You wonder why your friends seem to constantly dissapear disappear or go away to find their own glory. Becuase Because they are in search of the meaning to life. Why are they here? Why do they spend there days the way they do? Whats to keep them here and actually interested in anything this life has to offer?

Adrenaline is a drug, just like the most savoury steak or your first kiss. Life needs its highs and lows becuase because it is what makes the mundane bearable. Your body needs something other than a meal and a tool to keep it interested in what life has to offer.
