Wars We've Fought
1. Subject matter: 1st world attempts to fix 3rd world problems with Hardware rather than Human solutions is doomed to fail. Outsiders coming into intractable foreign issues are doomed to be misinterpreted/confused/wrongly pursued. People who have nothing to live for have a hell of a good time making everyone else suffer.
2. Roleplaying as a practice: Play needs good starting Situation and continuing intractable problems for more play to occur. The best kinds of problems are the ones you create while you play. There needs to be a ticking clock and endgame to drive people toward a conclusion.
3. Real live human nature: There's no good and evil, it's just me saying, "You're evil" and you saying, "Uh-UH!" and both of us trying to get our ideas codified/validated in play.
