The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You have to work to survive in Minecraft, too. Which is to say, all those wonderful things are the product of human labor.

More importantly, in Minecraft crops grow in like 3 days, you never get sick and never age, and the global population is post-apocalyptic.
It would be interesting if you could make a minecraft server with tens of thousands of people in one survival word. See how fast resources become scarce.
They will dupe the shit out of server
Which mustn't be an issue. Most advanced nations produce a surplus of food for example. So much, that an insane amount of it is wasted and never consumed.
So in principle, sure. Some work is necessary to allow a certain quality of life for all and ensure survival. But if you think about our fucked up wealth distribution, it does not need to be so hard.
