The Eerily Accurate Predictions of Cyberpunk 2020

"Diversity & Unity"

--. it is now accepted among historical scholars that in the decades before the collapse, America suffered from the sickness of Racism & "Cultural Identity". Everyone wanted to be seen as special. Every Group had to be "equal" to or preferably better than it's neighbors & fought to protect it's "special" rights. if anyone had something that someone else wanted, they were painted a Racist, Sexist, Elitist, or worse. this Divisive " me first" attitude eventually tore the fabric of American culture apart & caused it to self-destruct in a fireball of competing ideologies., none of which truly recognized each other's validity. Diversity led inexorably to Anarchy"

Thank goodness you never played Vampire: The Masquerade.

Thank goodness you never played Vampire: The Masquerade.

no never really liked Vampire stuff.. too girlie for me.. but did it make accurate predictions of society today...?
if not. what's your point...?

[betiko]

It works to describe the roman society or any society from any era, big deal

Sure, there's a new game coming:

Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

you didn't answer the question Sym..
did Vampire: The Masquerade make accurate predictions of society today...?

( we will assume you already forgot the question.. like usual...)

[jimboston]

So accurate. We all know President Trump plans on declaring Martial Law before year’s end.

[KoolBak]

Wouldn't Fallout be more accurate?

[NomadPatriot]

Wouldn't Fallout be more accurate?

not sure.. what is the fallout prediction of society in the year 2020?

I think what NP is saying is that in order to maintain national unity and prosperity, the government needs to promote a common identity and culture that all citizens participate in?

I am not saying anything. I simply posted an excerpt from the 1988 Cyberpunk-2020 rulebook's 1994 update
it was the game's depiction of what society in America would be like in the year 2020...

take from it what you will...
but seems pretty accurate ..

Doesn't seem very accurate to me. Diversity has always been America's strength, there have always been bigots in a panic about it, and Chicken Little predictions about how it will cause the extinction of society have always been around. In another 1000 years I'm sure the debates will still be the same.

Yep.

Hey, NP we agree on something!

There were a few different endings for the the first Bloodlines game. You should give it a go!

Don't be a sore loser NP- and to be fair I won nothing, you basically kicked the living hell out of yourself in this thread.

[NomadPatriot]

no clue what the fool Sym is referring too..
if he doesn't know what " BANGED ON THE MONEY" is referring too, it shows how he doesn't pay attention...

Oh, so now you can use capital letters...

Just kidding- you probably had to copy/paste.

Kidding!

Seriously though...

well Dym.. ( not a type-o...) I had given you the benefit of the doubt that you were commenting to actually discuss the topic of the threads. but it is obvious now your only replying to my posts in order to attempt to cause aggravation.. no real debate intended..
so you get tossed into the bin with Llama.. no more attention for you.. you just do whatever for now on..
it's pointless to interact with you any further..

It's "typo", dimwit. This ain't a conversation about blood types.

[jonesthecurl]

Well, blood is thicker than water. And there's some pretty thick contributions to this topic.
