Did I not make it clear? I was supposed to make it clear, and I feel I didn’t come back and make it clear, so I apologize for not making it clear. Allow me to make it clear:
Now, as to the actual vehicle of said crisis, debating whether this or that is or is not likely is pointless: every argument assumes qualities of the crisis that have not been determined, and counters these invented qualities with examples from a real world that is vastly different from Siora in geography, events, systems and economies. Real examples can work as inspiration, but barely work as a guide and can’t logically be translated over.
Strict adherence to Logic is boring, anyway.
In any case, a crisis is coming. A pandemic is likely to be one of the causes of the crisis, and said crisis is likely to have other causes and factors, as the world’s situation may dictate, and that’s as much info as anyone is getting until we actually start to kick this off.
Quote:A correction is happening. We have had four real life years, 30 in-universe years of constant and strong unchecked growth, both economic and with populations (though there seems to be much less concern for the latter). Because if this, there is a correction coming. this correction will be fair and uniform, affecting all persons equally and keeping the prevailing balance of power.
The only question that was ever raised, was whether or not to acknowledge the correction in RP via some crisis. Regardless of which crisis is used or whether or not we even have one, there will be a correction, and this correction will not change.
