The current [[IVY Defense Status]] tends to be permanently stuck on Defcon 2. I think I remember a day or two of Peace awhile back, but generally nowadays, we seem to be always at war. If the DEFCON never changes, after awhile everyone just assumes that the level is 2, and the system loses any real meaning. This proposed reorganization is intended to make the DEFCON categories useful enough to be worth checking on a daily basis. | The current [[IVY Defense Status]] tends to be permanently stuck on Defcon 2.

The general idea is that while 5 and 1 would still represent the endpoints of Peace and Apocalypse, 3 would represent "no change in the ongoing war" and 2 and 4 would represent changing conditions, up and down. | |||
