The coliseum (Spectators)

What a waste of time. Half of the population of the world went nuts for this piece of crap game when it comes out. All they know is that RAM promises a big reward for playing it. People play for years just to get to his Coliseum. And after that they have to fight in reality for another set of years just to get to fight him. And does anyone ever see them again? No. They go crazy over it and end up gone, never to be heard of again. And not just them, but there families end up gone also. And to think that some people are still trying to get past the first web game to this day. Sure there's footage of the big battles and anyone not playing or in those wars are watching it in VR or on the TV. You see the same type of fighting in the VR as you do in the "live feeds", and they expect you to think that anyone would be given real powers like they talk about. Time control, portals, walking through walls and that is all a big stunt if you ask the rest of us. Not like we have better things to do, but that's the problem. Just war, all the time, and nothing to say for consequences, isn't healthy for everyone. Some people that go into that Gyro-fit gear don't come out to eat or anything for days and are worse off every time, but they do it no matter what. Is that sane? And to think that this all started with RAM wanting to save the Earth from human destruction. A great deal of people is against the Gem Battle game. They are getting tired of hearing that everyone who takes it to the REAL level is turned into robots. They say that the bodies of those EONicAP's are stored and preserved encase anyone wants to back out. Well no one has yet and what's happening to those bodies in the meantime?

Anyway, that's the skinny of it.
