Protoss: With RFC 1 having turned 45 years old recently, it is still important to keep one thing in mind, from one of the best 4X games you can ever play:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY57ErBkFFE "As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."
-- Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
(Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri)
It is only with the Arab Spring that we see how accurate this description was! And with our western leaders slowly turning into tyrants that we see how accurate the warning was!
Such a great fucking game. Once I spent an entire summer when I was like 15 or 16, just sleeping, eating and playing Alpha Centauri.
