For what it's worth there it is.

Perhaps there could be a section were threads relating to Middle East or Central Asia or Eastern Europe could have their own particular place.

Yes, I agree this New Great Game is some powerful power struggle that demands its own board. Its so vast that one thread will not be able to conatin it. The topics relating to the Great Game are bound to be spread all over and not centralized. I have taken part with Slayer to show some of the Great Game standards and I am pretty sure I agree with Slay here.

It seems like 'the great game' falls under the heading of NWO, hence why not just put all the 'great game' threads in the
NWO forum ?
I'm not entirely convinced that would fall under the NWO.
That implies a single entity calling all the shots. This is the struggle between opposing forces for control of world influences. The new multipolar world so to speak.

I have grown more and more weary of the phrase "War on Terror" since its abuse and misuse by the previous Administration's various flunkies.
Seems it cheapens the very word, 'war'. Of course, it is just another example of using hyperbole to stir or direct public opinion.
I could certainly see a more up-to-date subject title to better reflect the changes we are seeing. AND to accomodate the threads that address the topic.

We are gathering information pertaining to the "New Great Game" The evidence presented may be viewed by many as propaganda or fact. We are not trying to create a thread with competing views. [I know that seems impossible] Rather just a compiling of the evidence as it makes itself available to the public via many different media outlet's and sources.
I realize there will be conflicting views and competing opinions. So in all fairness lets let the evidence be presented and speak for itself also lets try and set aside personal opinion and individual ideologies.
I understand for many its hard to set aside their emotions but lets try to set and maintain a higher standard.
Thanks again

Desperate to wean its dependence on the powerful OPEC cartel, the United States is pitted in this struggle against Russia, China, and Iran, all competing to dominate the Caspian region, its resources and pipeline routes. Complicating the playing field are transnational energy corporations with their own agendas and the brash new, Wild West-style entrepreneurs who have taken control after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Traveling thousands of miles, from the Caucasus peaks across the Central Asian plains down to the Afghan Hindu Kush, Kleveman met with the principal Great Game actors between Kabul and Moscow: oil barons, generals, diplomats, and warlords.
