**R** emarkable.  
**S** uddenly the violence in this thread simply disappeared.  
**T** his gives me an idea.  
**U**.N. debates should all be done alphabetically.  
**V** iolence will decrease.  
**W** ars will end.  
**X** enophobia will cease.  
**Y** ou see, it will be a whole new world.  
**Z** ebras and lions hugging in the streets.  
**A** rabs and Jews rejoicing together.  
**B** oy oh boy I can see it now.  
**C** an’t you?

**E** xquisit realization **Osiris**. It is why I asked how fights would work here.

**F** orces the fighters to think.

**G** ives them time to simmer down.

**H** ere, fights should be spotted early, and an alphabetic rule imposed on them.

**I** nstant temporary ban for those who disobey.

**J** ust think of the possibilities!

**U** nclebeer closed that other thread (post only with spoilers) that might have been cool. Oh well. I guess that is one of the perks of being a Mod. I guess mods have to read all messages for anything that might be illiegal or might invalidate the terms of use. Reading a thread full of spoilers might have made this job too dificult to bother with
