The Kony Projext 2012
I know you guys are probably thinking what is the kony project? Well I am here to tell you about it and how we can spread the word. For starters Joseph Kony is what i like to call the Adolf Hitler of our time. He is the worlds worst war criminal. He is a Ugandian man who abducts children and teaches them to kill. No, I am not talking about killing rabbits. I'm talking about killing humans. Thats right, children from whatever age are abducted and taught to kill. One of the terrible things about this is that they have to kill their parents. And if they refuse to kill, then they are killed themselves. The girls that are kidnapped are not used for killing. They are used for other things. I dont know how to put this in a good way. But they are sex slaves... They are sexually abused and raped. What I'm trying to do here is to raise awarness of what is going on in our world. Most people don't think twice of what is going on outside of their city. I'm not saying that they are self centered. This project has been started by the Invisible Children Orginization. It is called that because the children can not stop what is going on. They have no say. They have no voice. They are hopless. We are their voice. We are their freedom. I believe that we should have a few NPC's placed through out era saying something about the Kony Project. I would prefer it to be people who support this project. Such as myself and Tink. I also believe that we should open up a kony project store. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I appreciate it very much. Sincerely, PoeticFolly and Tink! |

This kony 2012 spam is out of proportion and useless. Lots of horrible dictators have done stuff like this, especially in Africa. Your Facebook posts don't do much, and incase you haven't noticed the "invisible children" havent done much other than make these films, and arent really helping considering they suggest all out military attack, which would be just another war US is involved in, and would result in more deaths of children i dont think real world stuff like this needs to be that incorporated in the game, make a shield, wear it, it wont help in any way, and if you expect stefan and unixmad to be nice enough to donated a precentage of profit to a charity for it then you can forget it. |

Thats what the invisible children are supposed to do, is make videos and make Joseph Kony famous. That's the whole entire point of this operation. It's not incorporated in the game, it's in the off topic chat section, case you didn't notice.

thats in game and shouldnt be added, maybe a shield to support it, but to me it sounds like your just using this to get a npc of yourself, and even if your not, i dont see why real life stuff like this needs to be put in the game, especially since its for younger kids so you cant even really explain it in game. |

What's this accomplish anyway? This invisible children organization is questionable, and alot of people have written how unreliable it is as a source and how it isn't using the money in a way you would think, in fact their idea is against what they are promoting, they want to save life's of children, but doing this with military action will just mean more lives are lost. Even if people are aware, if they are paying attention to the wrong place then it's not helping. All invisible children will do is use the money to make more movies about it, and giving money to a military force that is in a place that Kony hasn't been sighted in for a long time. All in all, raise awareness but link to something else. Shun the invisible children and the stupid "Kony 2012" thing, but raise awareness of Kony. Link to a trusted place that will donate and help this situation better. As soon as I get a PayPal account working I'll donate to one place that's more trusted and sends money to relieve and aid in the search for Kony. |

Keep this **** out of the game. Games should not be used to spread political propaganda.

If you guys are going to throw money at these things then at least educate yourselves. Don't just watch one or two short videos coming that are clearly biased towards showing one side of the coin and then think that you know what your money is going towards.

Kony 2012 got stupidly overhyped. As much as I support it, I hate how many people are spamming this around, half of these kids on iEra don't even know what it means. ._.

I mean I think it's good that they are trying to tell people what's happening, but they don't have their facts right at all. A few of them thought it was like the SOPA act...
