No. I like immature kids who can't get things done. I want this game to go on for years with 1 turn per turnchat.

This is more a "coup d'état" than a revolution. After all, one of the insurrects is our SMC! Here in Latin America we have an expression to this: "golpe militar" (I don’t know how say it in English). That is the reason you call us “Banana Republics”…  This happens all the time... (Remember Chavez, in Venezuela)
An advice: if you, insurrects, win and get the supreme power, be careful with the next SMC. He probably will give to you the same treatment soon. It’s like a Pandora Box… without the Hope in the bottom.
Due my experience as a Latin-American, I suggest you put all your enemies against the wall and shoot them. After this, do the same with all your friends, you never know…
I forgot something... Oh, your relatives! A cousin or a brother-in-law could be your worst nightmare. Kill them. They usually live too close, it’s a unnecessary risk. The Secret Service could be dangerous, too, and you will need a “Secret-Secret Service” to keep an eye on the SS’s.
Of course, you could use someone to taste your banana food and drinks (don’t look at me, I don’t want the job).
In two words: Be paranoid.

Here's another quote I once read.
Don't remember who said it, but he was supposedly just an ordinary guy in the street...
|
Quote:
|
The politicians run the country until everything's more or less screwed up.
The military get sick of it and seize the power.
They shoot a few politicians and run the government until they get tired of it and call for a new election.
Then it all starts over again.
-It's stable, senôr, it's stable.

Its not good for us. This is casuing citizens to leave, citizens to unofficially leave (such as myself), and its casuing the game to be extremly boring.

I'm personally leaving because of all the politics involved with this game. It's just not fun anymore. And if its for recreation, and its not fun, it doesnt hold my interest for too long.

hi ,
have you brought this up with the others , ....
this sounds like a real bump , the rest should learn and do something about it , ...
sometimes people leave for holidays , time and other stuff , that is normal , sometimes they come back , sometimes not , that is also normal , but what is not normal is when people start to leave because it aint fun , ....
have a nice day

Of course, if this doesn't work (and I hope it does work)...UberKrux and all of you who voted yes will be commiting treason! The penalty for that in Apolytonia is...execution by hanging, drawing, and quartering! Uhhhhhh-oh!

A time has come to end our political party fueds and skirmishes between the public. Now is a time to be united behind a stong leader with strong central government that provides us all with equal laws and gets the job done without bickering or inefficiency. Looke we cant even go a few turn chats without someone cracking under the pressure. WE NEED A NEW LEADER. SOMEONE STRONG WHO GETS THE JOB DONE.

Don't blow this "Party Politics" Thing Out of Proportion
No need for anyone to be a drama queen here. Party politics haven't been the apocalyptic evil that they've been made out to be. They've only played a very small role in this game.
psst...Vote UFC!

umm, guy, no offense, but 2 things
1: get with the times. im not running again anyways
2: whenever Ninot runs a turnchat, nothing cracks and everything goes rather well.
and, on minor points, the only bickering i do is with possibly Uber and occasionally Togas. and Inefficient aint a word I know. And, you tell ME a law you find that can be changed to be more equal, and ill tell you what government wrote that law
bandwagoning
