AURORA, I.L. - After many weeks of downtime, the Ender Eye radios were restored and all commmunication returned to normal - however the extended downtime devastated the chatting population and only few have decided to return.
Irishkaiser - The driving force of progress has and always been competition. The question of who is better than the other has always led to a cycle of one outdoing the other. We can see this clearly in the development of Human History as empires that had little to no competition eventually stagnated and fell due to complacency.
The Chinese during the Warring States period and recent unification aftermath surpassed its European counter-parts in the arts and sciences, being the first civilization introduce Gunpowder, Paper, the Compass and Printing by hundreds to a thousand years ahead. The Islamic Caliphates of the Middle East and North Africa had tried to outdo and trump the other and advances in war were coupled with advances in the sciences(such as the concept of the number 0). But, as soon as the Islamic world was majorly united in either Sunni or Shiite, it began to fall apart. The European continent, a bloodied land filled with countless wars and bloodshed was spurred on by the egos of the Renaissance and the division of the 30 Years War, whose potential was preserved by the Church. Unlike China or the Middle East - Western Civilization remained utterly divided and their division hardened and progressed their civilizations.
Economic competition, spurred global explorations, Kings looking for prestige rewarded intellectual and scientific advancement, and hard years of fighting sharpened Europe’s sword against the world and itself.
The maintaining of this Balance of Power within the continent was critical in Europe’s domination of the modern century as it didn’t allow any sort of complete and total control of one nation… Only in Europe of course… As the rest of the world was fair game and not subject to the Balance of Power concept.

Famous Tenlander Crackerjack7209 killed two premiums last week as they were trying to sprint to Stupid Saturday. The heroic act was seen as glorious and exposed a sort of pattern in the premium’s route that must be exploited.
