Flag War Armistice
I am calling for a Flag War Armistice. I have been impaled with at least two flags today, but I take them on the chest. I don't hold anything against the flag thrower.
Please all actors involved with this war, let's call an Armistice, until we have opened up some new dialogue in resolving this; before we get back to war. Armistice officially begins at midnight (whenever that is!) but please put your flags down now.
"I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screaming in the hotel room
I didn’t wanna self destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went running for answers
Until I came home
But that didn’t stop survivor’s guilt
Going back and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned
Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was
But while my loved ones was fighting the continuous war back in the city, I was entering a new one
A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination
Made me wanna go back to the city and tell the homies what I learned
The word was respect
Just because you wore a different gang color than mine's
Doesn’t mean I can’t respect you as a black man
Forgetting all the pain and hurt we caused each other in these streets
If I respect you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us
But I don’t know, I’m no mortal man, maybe I’m just another nigga” - Kendrick Lamar

This image tells the tale doesn't it?
Only a thousand and eighty three Authors. Twenty nine more of them just left.
ONLY 2927 active accounts...and that's UP by 107 from the day before..
Out of a hundred and forty seven thousand one hundred and sixty eight accounts total...which is UP by two hundred and eighty six from the day before.
I'll have my bot get with your bot..
I don't know what tale that tells, and would need more statistics over a longer period of time to discern anything from it, while also taking into account many other factors. The Flag Wars have seemingly been contained to just a handful of people being involved and flagged. I don't know if it would affect the whole system negatively or positively in terms of numbers of users, as some people find the Flag Wars entertaining to a certain extent, many people aren't aware of it (or think it is related to the experiment), and it seems to be generally only a few people getting flagged, but recently it has escalated.
/me tests the waters...
Let's see how that Armistice is going....
I would just like to mention that although an armistice was proposed, it was not officially agreed upon, although could be in-effect due to a gentleman's agreement, rather than being legally binding.
Nothing so far. I guess I can take the day off posting. :-)
Oh well!
Hmmm..okay. Time to post. :-)
