    Default An .org government

    Since you all like politics so much, maybe we should make our own government, have elections and stuff.

    It would just be for fun.

    Good idea, The Conservative Club can be the, well, conservatives. The Imperialist club can be the Org Imperial Party or sumting like that, i like it!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Yeah, if we take it seriously then I fear from Pindar's strong stance against us rebelious atheists.

    Hey, BP, that'll be the BEST you can hope for from the Conservative Party. Imagine your sorry lot in life if we nominate and run Kaiser through?

    Never fear any .org government would surely meet the headsman axe when Tosa our fearless despot finds out about any attempt to organize into a political body.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    No, I don't think so, it will suddenly turn into a corrupt state... (the moderators have to much power, having election on their side will make them....i don't know...God!!)

    What's the life cycle on this idea... about once every 5 months? Funny, the discussion almost always goes the same way...

    1) We should demonstrate our political prowess by holding an election
    2) The "in love with the idea phase" where everyone waxes on like Solon himself
    3) people begin to organize along clique lines... left, right, nihilist, etc.
    4) a few outliers make a couple of jokes like the "beer party" and the "yay-boobs" party.
    5) everyone realizes the outliers probably have the best idea after all.
    6) we all go drink beer and look at boobs. The election has yet to be held.

    But hey, let's actually DO it for once before we go scuttle off to drink beer and oggle boobs (sorry Prole).

    WHERE
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Right. That's Proletariat for President and myself as Proletariat's loyal opposition. The rest of you fill in the dots.

    I guess that'll do since my first pick Supreme High Evisceratrix is a bit lengthy for a title.

    I think that the Imperialist club will be happy to enter in coalition with any conservative government of the org.

    Tories... That should be their name. It just has that imperialistic ring to it, while a nice and to-the-point name.
