Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 170978" data-attributes="member: 426">Mr. Draco:As Cydians can control the gravitational fields around them, they should be able to fly at tremendous speeds.  (Like Superman.)Well, I suppose my basic peace plan is a recognition of existing borders and a cessation of hostilities. It is in everyone's interest, I believe, to keep us out of the Domains of Dread.  To this end, we should respect each others territorial integrity and fix the worlds.Also, I suggest that the City of Peace be governed by a council of all powers who will live there.  The council can also serve as a UN like body.I will contribute non-11th level magical aid to help in the city's construction.  The architects are ready.Hazen issues a statement to the press and shares it with government leaders on Oerth and elsewhere:"It may be possible to build a lasting peace based on current political boundaries and the recognition of national sovereignity. One nation may criticize the affairs of another nation, but may not intervene unless it or an ally is threatened.""In the City of Peace, perhaps different delegations can meet and play a role in the governance of the City.  The key would be that any decision that is made - whether to worship at a temple or buy a product - must be made by the individual's free will.  Thus, murder and theft would be prohibited.""The Angels gave us a powerful vision of a possible future.  I believe we can be worthy of that future.  The choice is up to each of us.  I for one would not welcome annihilation or the Domains of Dread.  Faced with these threats, putting aside our enmities may be the only logical course of action.""I am still waiting for a response from some parties to my proposals.  I will be available to speak to anyone who wishes to discuss peace.   Peace cannot be forced, but we can chose it.  Also, we must look within ourselves to find peace.  A society may solve all of its physical problems, but still fall into war and disunity if internal issues are not resolved."OOC:  Ironically, the conditions described in the first edition of the Gamma World game -- a prosperous society destroying itself because of unresolved issues of peace and history -- presaged the events in the Balkans in the 1990s.  We have it within ourselves to be the destroyers or the builders of new societies.</blockquote>
