Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

Any chance we could keep relevant to the book?

Clearly not...

 Me back.
Agreed for "1984". Oh, what memories does that book bring back: beer, party, beer, university, girlfriends, beer, movies, beer, fun and...hmmmm...did I say beer? :P

Goes well with political systems so maybe we can apply it to the present times(in the forum). :D

For your sakes, I wouldn't, people might start drawing comparisons between Dipes and Big Brother and you and O'Brien... :Laugh:

But really, it's an interesting book.

One thing to think about is the character of Julia. Is she actually just like Winston in that she's being watched and the Thought Police are onto her from the word go and O'Brien's just killing two birds with one stone, or is she an agent of the Thought Police who O'Brien has placed to lure Winston into incriminating himself.

Just finished this and I can't say I found anything (and I was looking for it) to indicate Julia was an agent.

Though considering O'Brien had planned his entrapment of Winston for 7 years then it does seem like a likely option.

However the final meeting of Julio and Winston lends more credence to the premise that she was also a Victim of the Thought police.


Again one of the best books I ever read.
