the Zoners

[Malaclypse 666]

We have apparently moved from the realm of postulating how globs of programmed pixels might behave in certain situations, to a discussion on our Creator's wisdom, and about how narrow our reality tunnel should be vis a vis the Zoners.

Perhaps the discussion cannot be held without considering the rights and obligations of both the pixel globs, which are forced to behave in certain ways, and the actual players whose creativity and contributions make our reality tunnels broader.

I am not privy to the Inner Circle which is busily working on our next Incarnaton. In sombunall ways, I believe the Zoners (as opposed to the zoners, who will still be mindless pixel globs), will be more restricted in future, and in sombunall ways I agree with those restrictions. Hopefully, this will alleviate the night sweats sombunall of our beloved "Bretonia Rules the Waves" proponents seem to be experiencing.

I will bare my Pineal here. You younger folk, turn away please.

I threw the Council of Zoners idea out there because I myself was embarrassed by the liberties being taken with the Zoner ID. I assumed a Registry, and a central "whinging" address, might help the situation by identifying those abusers. Never did I dream, nor desire, that it would become sort of defacto "government" let alone have some sort of legitimacy in the next version.

Thud, I'm a Discordian Ontological Anarchist.. why would I want that?

What I also do not want, is to be shoehorned into a Dromedary with 3 Eagle/Falcon escorts, thank you.

My tunnel is broad enough to include the maybe's:

Maybe the zoners have grown to some 140 Million souls...

Maybe they have felt the need to form a quasi-governmental Council to represent their "tribes"...

Maybe these tribes, with their mythological non-existent Juggernauts and technological prowess could field a fleet capable of defending one planet out of millions.

And maybe the horse will learn to sing, Nasrudin, maybe.

Edit: Oh, and of course the Brets know about Omega 49! They're not complete idiots.

I'd venture to guess they've even shopped there on occassion. Zoners.. gotta love em, eh?
