As if guided by God, I am creating it. My New World. My Silent Kingdom.

Inspired by the moral question brought up in one of my favorite RPGs. Say you were placed into a situation where you were chosen to choose the new form of the world. Unfortunately you can only choose between three different options given to you...

Shijima - "The Value of Order" - The realm of absolute order and balance. In this world, laws and order govern everything and everyone has a place and role to fulfill within a strict heirarchy. Everyone helps each other and maintains the status quo. There is no sadness, hate, or boundaries that seperate us from one another. But also, there is no love or happiness, nor true sense of individuality.

Yosuga - "Survival of the Fittest" - The natural order but pushed to an extreme, compassion for the weak is gone and the weak are systematically removed. The strongest and smartest rule and those who choose not to follow must either prove their strength to survive or be "weeded out". Though cruel and chaotic, the world is constantly shifting and new and people are forced to stay innovative and adaptable. If you have the strength to survive you can maintain your own sense freedom.

Musubi - "Hyper-Individualistic Thought" - A world where everyone believes and lives only for themselves. All life is seperate and we exist in a state of permanent internal thought. Life begins and ends with yourself. People exist without the need of others. You cannot affect the lives of others and others cannot affect you. A permanent state of solitude with self fulfillment of the ego is all there is.

So choose your poison.

Survival of the fittest. No contest.

Of those three, I would have to say the Yosuga one, or Survival of the Fittest. I do not want a world where I can not experience happiness and love, nor one where I can not interact with others.

Come on Shijima!

These are the options available to recreate the world at the end of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne aren't they?

Anyway, of the three, my poison is most certainly Yosuga, for I value individuality and the presence of others.

Shijima sounds nice but Musubi is the direction i will go.

I'm kind of torn between Musubi and Yosuga. Although maybe I'm leaning more towards Yosuga for the reasons Rase listed. That's actually very important to me. And I guess they make living in a super cruel world worth it?

Musubi, though all of the choices blow.

Personally, none of them, but if I had to chose, I would choose Musubi.

Musubi is the least unattractive of the three options, in my opinion.

Yosuga has the best chance of being the most corrupt. I'll choose it for fun and giggles.

Yosuga. Although I would argue that such a system is functionally the same as 'hyper-individualism', but anyway yes - I'd choose that one. Musubi sounds interesting, and is highly appealing, but with no interaction I wouldn't like it. If interaction were solely voluntary, then I'd go for that one in a heartbeat.

order!
by working together the world can overcome anything....same life isnt like that huh....

Although I'm not fond of any of them, the Survival of the fittest one is the best one IMHO.

Darwinia. :)
