Title: What if?
Post by: guar on January 29, 2003, 08:43:37 AM

First off I realize this is a pipe dream.
What if we dissarm all countries and allow them to decide the
outcome of wars useing video games. I don\'t mean that they settle all problems this way i.e. famine,economics,poverty etc.
Just when some country gets a bee up it\'s butt and wants to start a war, they pick their best gamers and go at it. I know this is fantasy thought but, any opionions? :D

As sad as it is, I\'ve had the same idea, sure would save a lot of pissing about.

Not only would that never happen, but it\'s not even a good idea.  It levels the playing field too much.  As it is now, if a country is doing something that\'s clearly wrong, like Germany in WW2 for example, more nations will end up against them than supporting them.

Besides, in a situation like that, if Germany wins the video game, do you honestly think the French and English and so on would give up without a fight?  There would still be a war, just the same.

Nerd I hope not :confused: Like I said it\'s just a fantasy. Just wondering what kind of opinions
would come out.

The problem I have with fighting other countries with a joystick is I accidently hit my R2 all the time.  What if that button launched nukes or something.  That would kind of suck if I really meant to hit the X button which is obviously for peace accords.

Suddam would most definitely have a Gameshark and the UN would have to go in and get all his cheat codes :D
