38,214,725.
That is how many deaths have been suffered on all of the eGO servers combined (a number that continues to grow every minute). With these numbers now reaching "World War" levels, we must ask ourselves, "What are we fighting for?"
This is an account of my search for answers...
I started out casually asking a few people I know--some eGOs--a few simple questions. First I approached the legendary ronpaul.
"Hey ron...What is all of this fighting in eGO about?"
"What do you mean?" he asked me.
"I mean...the 'eGO' army, if you will, is hundreds strong and we constantly fight on a daily basis. But to what ends?" I tried to expand.
"Um...not sure. I just love killing, so that's what I do." was his response.
"Well, yeah, but..." was all I got out when he suddenly cut me off.
"Hey, uh...I've gotta go. Talk to ya later." and then he just left.
Clearly ron knew something more than he let on. I was curious now more than ever, so I moved on to somebody else I know who is usually in-the-know...(IO) SA.
"Hey man...what are we fighting for??" I straight-up asked him.
"You shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition." he responded.
Clearly this was going nowhere.
I had to rethink my whole plan of attack. I had to find a man who was laid back enough to maybe let me in on some of the secrets of eGO, but I also had to find a man who might be privy to some of the events going on under the surface. Hmmm...underground, if you will. I knew right where to go.
"Hey Goomba...I have a few questions." I asked CaptGoomba.
"Oh baby!"
"Alright...Anyways, do you know why eGO is doing all of this fighting?" I continued.
"I dunno Dawg. Maybe try asking an Advisor or somethin'." Was all he said.
I was hoping it wouldn't result to that.
I hopped on Ventrilo and, as I somewhat expected, there was our DoD leadership, hiding in their private room, plotting and planning in secrecy, as always. Yes, these guys were definitely up to something. I finally convinced them to let me in for a little bit and jumped right into what was on my mind.
"What are you guys hiding?" I asked.
"What are you talking about?" Matt with a cat asked.
"All of this fighting eGO does. What is its purpose?"
"Uh...we just play to have fun." Blue Stealth offered.
"No, it's not that simple. Why the urge to grow bigger and bigger then? Why the push to fill servers and kill more when they are not full? It's more than just that." I pushed the issue.
"Is this guy for real?" KILLERxDEBO asked.
"He's always this way. Just ignore him." C-WHiT said.
"I want answers! I think we deserve to know what is really going on!"
"Listen, YoSpankDawg, there's nothing behind the curtains. There's no hidden agenda. You see a conspiracy that doesn't exist. We've chosen to have a community where one can relax, have fun, jump on, and play together as a team. You act like there's some fortress or bunker we're hiding." jeod66 offered.
"Listen, guys this is ridiculous. We have better things to do with our time. YoSpankDawg, I don't know if you're just messing with us or really think something is going on, but either way there is not and this conversation is over." slayr357 finally spoke up, putting an end to our conversation.
Clearly this was going to take more finesse.

---Do not ask what is next. I'm not telling. If you wanna know, wait and see. I was just going to post it all together at once, but...I saw how long it was and KNEW that maybe 2 of you would read the whole thing. Heck, even this length at a time will only keep the attention span of half of you.
