If you can’t find groups to join, you can start your own group. The key is to be a GM looking for players, then people will magically appear…

If your Riker lasts for more then 3 hours check into med bay immediately

Purity gatekeepers are running out of interesting targets, clearly the goal here is to cause drama and not fix some injustice.

So they agree on something! The war isn’t over.

Attacking armor in the occupied city you live in is a hall mark of any modern resistance movement, it’s a good way to get killed - so whatever their motivations are, it’s not cowardace

It’s the Sun. They’re not trying to be journalists.

For one thing, nobody who attacks a tank is a coward. That takes fortitude. Because you’re probably going to die. So throwing untrue insults around in the article, is the furthest thing from journalism that you can get
