Hey, I know it's a bit late, but can i join? This seems interesting.

[Omegastick]

OOC: Go ahead, just start roleplaying.

[dwarfguy2]

These laws are highly reasonable, especially #5. I'm sure the OWU are wise and kind enough that #3 and #1 will be no problem.

[lordnincompoop]

OOC: I'm confused. It's probably in the pages somewhere, but lazy bastard that I am I don't want to read 'em. Are you the new GM, omegastick?

I'm curious about 5b. How can a person possibly life off of 60 odd pounds a month?
And what does the money go to if property is not personally owned? I'm supposing here that the food is given as well. That eliminates any need to buy anything and along with that the need for money.

[techno65535]

Except...how is anyone supposed to live if they only receive 2 or 10 pounds per day? It generally costs more than that just to eat, let alone any other expenses.

I have returned from the rehabilitation center.

One might expect it to be a hellhole where they torture you until you see their point of view, but it isnt. It is a very pleasant place.
These new laws are generally a sign of an evil dictatorship, but the OWU are very reasonable people and there is no reason to break these laws in the case that you arent crazy and should be rehabilitated.

[Sheb]

You know, lots of people are surviving on £ 2 a day. Not in America, but remember that the OWU is a world organization. Suddenly raising  third-world wage to Western level would just create runaway inflation.

[dwarfguy2]

Besides, if people don't put that much effort into their job, then they don't deserve the enrichment the money will cost, am I right?

[cerapa]

You sound a lot more reasonable after my rehabilitation.  A system based on effort is truly great for kicking out parasites who dont work.

That was my point, but now I'm wondering why we need money if we don't need to pay for anything, including food (The "no personal property" law). Enrichment is out of the question, as that will probably involve owning stuff. In fact, money should be illegal from a consistency standpoint as you "own" money.

Or did I misinterpret the whole thing?

[Sheb]

I think private property only refer to land, building and other big stuff. I'll ask my teacher at the weekly post-reeducation session.

[lordnincompoop]

On another note, I'm wondering what it is exactly #3 entails. Lawyers would go berserk over these methinks.

[dragnar]

Our legal system is based on the laws being as clear-cut as possible... What are courts supposed to do with laws like this? Usually laws like these would be thrown out for being too vague.

It might not be too bad though. Some of the other laws might clarify these ones better.

Everyone, just wait for now, see what more is to come. Villains must reveal themselves eventually. If the OWU does, they shall be deposed. Lies cannot hold up forever.

You callin' the OWU villains?

[dragnar]

Yeesh, a bit of an over reaction? Everyone knows nothing about the OWU, so I merely mean to say that IF they are, it will make itself known. Some governments are better than others, but it's impossible to know where the OWU falls without more information.
