While I understand the goal of your idea Skenderbeu, I'm afraid that initiating this sort of thing will cause everyone to want to give their post a Quick-Help forum/status/priority/title. Basically, we'll have the same number of requests with the same response rate...just with a different location/status/priority/title. I think that the best solution is to use the RS forums or other players in game to get super-fast help. Many users are happy waiting a bit for a Tip.It user to post because they simply prefer to partner with someone from our community instead of just advertising in a bank somewhere. Keep coming with the ideas, sooner or later one will stick!

While I understand your premise woopidoo2, I think it would be lost on most reporters. It's been my experience that any time you create a reward system for quantitative behavior, quality is severely compromised. We have some very diligent reporters currently and I'd hate to see that quality deteriorate by sheer volume increase. Have fun! - Ard

Exactly. This event will be a milestone in a process. When today's efforts are written in the history books, I think that 9/11 will be what people say was a catalyst for the process that broke down the proverbial "wall" of oppression in the Middle East. Think about how long it took after WW2 for the Berlin Wall to come down and how much time, effort and sacrifice it took to get that accomplished. The idea of enabling the Middle East to achieve democracy is not a new concept. The process of gaining enough footing/motivation to go over there to do something about it began long ago. Now that the democracy is emerging in the Middle East all members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) will have to stay the course until it's done. Our generation may not get to see the "wall" come down, but the emergence of democracy over there and a more unified world will evolve in our lifetime at the least. I think that the fall of the twin towers will eventually be memorialized as the catalyst for the fall of Middle Eastern oppression and terrorism. The deaths of the victims of 9/11 and the War on Terror will not be in vain.

The core value of the arts is that they are a means for artists to communicate/express/depict something meaningful to them. As a society, we've forgotten the value of movies to inspire and communicate very deep, sentimental, historical and touching storylines. The art of cinematography has become "entertainment" and we don't want it to make us face difficult ideas...at least not often. The entertainment industry has gotten in the habit of NOT communicating anything worthwhile... so when it does, we think it's out of line. I think the importance of any movie, book, etc. made about 9/11 is to get the message out about the strengths of America. I have not seen the movie, but I've heard/read that the primary focus is on the people who did SO much on that day to help save, comfort, rescue, heal, etc. those anywhere near the target sites. There have been several books from surviving family members who have also made a profit. There have been works of art created to memorialize the Twin Towers and the events of 9/11, many of which have turned a profit for the artist. Do actors/artists make money, sure. Do production companies turn a profit, sure. Do they all pocket it...NO. I wouldn't be surprised if profits get filtered back out to help others. Even if it doesn't, the film might just let a few more people or an audience that was too young to understand what happened to see the passion of Americans. Instead of criticising them for making a profit, maybe we could say "Hey, normally they make fluffy movies without substance for WAY too much money...it's great that they are making a movie about something real". The horrific tragedies of that day are what sticks with us. We also need to remember that out of those tragedies, many people sacrificed time, money, energy, etc. out of love for other people and their country. To be reminded of that, no matter the source, can't be all bad.

This post is to make comments in memory of 9/11. Please refrain from posting images of the events as they may be inappropriate for our younger audience. There are plenty of other places to see these images. -Ard

I've been visiting the kingdom roughly once a week. It looks like yesterday's resources were for 8 days. I usually deposit enough each time to keep the coffers to 1.5M so that they have enough to keep them above 1M by the time I get back. Check out this post (page 13 of this thread) for an explanation of standard deviation. Have fun! - Ard
