Crowds of people walk through Tabloid Town's main square. There is tension in the air, as there has been for quite a while now. Everyone is on edge.
An anonymous young woman steps out onto a balcony, clad in pink and black. She holds a microphone in one hand and a rainbow flag with the word "PEACE" on it in the other. It doesn't take long for people to notice her.
She speaks.
People of the NTWF! I want you to take a moment from your harried, busy lives and close your eyes.
...Actually, don't. Because then you probably wouldn't be able to read this. Except I should probably not be breaking the fourth wall right now! Which I am not. Because that is totally not a thing you can even do. What would even be the fourth wall right now? I'm on a balcony.
...Anyway!
;
Imagine the NTWF in your mind's eye. Think of all the friends you've made here, all the 'bloidal shenanigans, all the stories written, all the roleplays played. Think of all the wonderful times you've had here. I know I'm not the only one who would do anything not to lose that.
Now, look around. The NTWF is falling apart. It's on the verge of collapse. Conflict is brewing, factions beginning to oppose. We are on the brink of war, and it is going to destroy us. Do you want to allow that to happen?
The armies and the rebels are going to try to convince you that war is cool, that it's all heroics and glory. But the reality is that war is brutal and miserable. People are going to die if we don't stop the fighting now. We all have treasured friends here! Do you want to see them killed?
If you want the NTWF to survive intact, if you want your friends to live, if you want to bring joy back to the forum, join the Peace Movement. Peace is the only path to victory.
Also, we have an abundance of frozen yogurt.
