This Frydudes is going to be different from the previous ones...
It's time for some storytelling!
Sit tight and grab something to snack on. It's story time.
In the middle of a hot summer night of 1969, a huge unidentified object appeared in the earth's atmosphere, and shortly after many little UFOs came out of it, approaching the White House.
Soldiers immediately opened fire on the unknown threat
but all weapons were useless against these weird flying objects.
The president, still wearing his pajamas, ran out in the front yard to see with his own eyes the little UFOs touching the ground.
They were in fact aliens, with a smooth green skin and one big eye, flying with spaceships in which they could barely fit. They didn't have mouths to talk but they communicated their intentions telepathically.
The message they had was simple:
"All humans will be exterminated unless they cease all war activities. You have until sunrise to stop all wars."
The president immediately ran into his office, pressed a big red button on his desk and a huge nuclear missile launched from the white house roof.
The missile flew in the air for a couple of seconds until a laser beam shot from the main spaceship and hit the missile, dissolving it instantly.
"All your weapons are useless against our technology, follow our orders or face extinction"
After hearing this phrase in his brain, the president started making calls all around the world, and learned that the aliens approached all major world leaders with the same proposal.
The next day, every conflict around the world stopped.
The aliens decided to stick around just to be sure we wouldn't fall back to our old habits.
One week later all the world leaders organized a meeting to 'talk about their feelings and play cards toghether'.
That's what they said to the aliens.
They were bored, war always was their main worry (for some of them it was the only one) and even if no one ever dared to say it out loud, they LOVED it.
People killing eachother over ideologies, resources or land was their favourite form of entertainment.
Every nation teaming with some against others, the economy adjusting to the state of each conflict, the media following the news on every attack, the population making arguments around it and picking sides, sometimes generating even more conflict.
They missed the caos, they felt bored and useless, and they needed a solution.
After hours of discussions they came up with a solution:
war was not allowed, but entertainment on any form was, so what about transforming war in actual entertainment?
They would keep on making people kill eachother over nonsense, nations will still create their factions, the amount of money around a project like that could shape economy, the whole thing will be broadcasted on TV and the people watching will cheer for different teams and pick sides...
The only thing making it different from actual war will be that this show, like any other show, needs a name.
That was the first global meeting in human history where every participant walked out with a big smile on his face.
War was saved, and the greatest show of all time was born.
