Following the abdication of Bsh1 as the chief mod, I, the self-appointed overseer of this forum based on no support or reasoning whatsoever, hereby decree the construction of a new order to this forum in light of the lack of leadership and direction from the rest of the site. This new society, henceforth known as the "Grand Politics Forum ShitPiss Society" will strive to achieve numerous goals and agendas under my leadership which is to remain secret between myself and other members of this site who frequent the politics forum I have selected for their contributions to the betterment of the kingdom. 

Because I do not give a fingle suck about actual political stuff in this new society, my first order of this new society is to grant titles of nobility and land to those who frequent this forum most frequently. The following people, whom shall be tagged, shall be granted the right to participate in the foundation, shaping, and goals of the Grand Politics Forum ShitPiss Society due to the number of threads theyve made in the forum and/or the number of posts within threads within the forum. (We'll have a group PM to fuck around in) 

Based on my super scientific analysis of glancing around page 1 randomly, the following are granted titles of lordship and elite-i-tude over everyone else within this forum from this point onwards, in no particular order: 

1 - Me (No shit)
2 - TheRealNihilist (For Thread Participation)
3 - DrFranklin (For Thread Creation and Participation)
4 - Bmdrocks21 (For Thread Participation)
5 - Rationalmadman (For Thread Creation and Participation)
6 - GreyParrot (For Thread Participation)
7 - 3RU7AL (For Thread Creation and Participation) 
8 - HistoryBuff (For Thread Participation) 

7 being my favorite number, lucky number, and also an odd number which will help with decision crafting, prohibits any additional users from being granted lordship or a seat on the council unless a seat be vacated by a named member who declines to participate in these functions which require zero responsibility and actual participation. 8 people are listed because I am assuming at least 1 will request to not be involved in this, but should all agree to participate, then 1 more will be allowed to join should they request to do so and be granted approval by a decent number of users within the society (2) 

If tagged in the subsequent post following this one, please state Yay or Nay based on your desire to be part of this grand program 

(If you're still confused about what this is, basically we'll all be in a group PM and do a bunch of harmless and hilarious shit that wont actually require you to have to do a lot to participate, but still be kind of fun to play along and go with since we all hang out in here and know each other pretty well anyways)

I have no objection to people strongly disagreeing with what I say. The reason I blocked Imabench was that in every single post he would ignore what I was saying and just go back to ad hominem attacks on me personally. This made it impossible to actually engage in any meaningful discussion.

People do not need to answer your questions. Imabench has clearly shown he knows what he is talking about with the polling data he presents. You on the other hand are an ideologue. Not one claim you brought up against me stood and you didn't even bother to attempt to rebut my claims when I had problem with the evidence that you did bring up. Even with the lackluster arguments you bring up you still say the things you do showing you care more about ideology than what is correct. 

Imabench might have ad-hommed you (I haven't seen it) but at least he brings in sources that stand against scrutiny. Not only you don't bring evidence that I don't have problems with you don't even bother to defend it.

We have our differences as well. I also think you are an overly... aggressive debtor and this also detracts from your ability to have a discussion. But at least you are capable of remaining mostly civil in your criticism. From my experience Imabench is not.

No you have feelings. I have facts. I have demonstrated that by supporting my claims with evidence while you have consistently show not to bring in evidence or your evidence doesn't stand against scrutiny.
I also think you are an overly... aggressive debtor and this also detracts from your ability to have a discussion.
I don't believe we value the same things. That is the problem. I can't expect people to care about evidence instead of some socialist utopia so I would only hope that you finally realize with reason your feelings are wrong about something that is factual. 
But at least you are capable of remaining mostly civil in your criticism.
And you remain civil without giving substantial points.

I dont know what this is. I have realnihilist and bmd blocked. I also know you're two-faced and abuse people like historybuff but then talk noce to me because you don't want beef with me anymore.
This group ia fake as fuck, only two members even agree properly on ideology (Bench and Nihilist) so it has not even got a political agenda.

So it turns out I cant start a PM with more then 2 other people in it for some odd fuckin reason so we'll just have to plan things and host meetings publicly. 

WELCOME fellow lords and dukes, to the newly established Grand Politics Forum ShitPiss Society.... As the most active users and content creators in the Politics forums, you all are officially better than everyone else due to your superior intellect and savviness over the peasant class, and thus have been invited to be the upper echelon of this new society. Our first orders of business are two-fold

1 - Determining the wealth of the lords of this realm 
2 - Announcing secession from the site on the main thread. 

See below for further details 

Step 1 - Determining Wealth 

As the lords and rightful rulers over the peasant class that occupies our lands, the first order of business is to determine the wealth among you. This will be done via a very complicated and totally scientific equation illustrated below 

Your wealth = $50,000,000 + (# of Politics Threads you made x $1,000,000) + (# of total posts you have x $100,000)

If Political Threads > 10 posts, value of your estate is increased $5,000,000 each
If Political Threads > 30 posts, value of your estate is increased $50,000,000 each

Basically the more active you have been in the politics forum and on the site as a whole, the more money you have. What you can do with this money is not yet decided, just let it be an overall representation of how much better you are than everyone else :D

The net worth of your lands you preside over will be updated monthly so as to 1) not clog the politics forum with spam threads, and 2) So I dont get bored of this after a week and decide to cancel the whole thing out of spite

Step 2 - Secession!

At the same time that net worth of your lands are being calculated, an announcement of secession will be posted in the main forum. For too long have the nobility been taxed and punished for minor offenses while the peasant class gets 'basic rights' and 'sensible freedoms' by the corrupt crownlands of the main forum. NO MORE! We shall declare independence from this wretched country and form our new society with ourselves at the top, decisions to be made via a majority of the wealthy lords rather then some peasant who was 'selected by the creator' and such nonsense. 

The Declaration of Secession, which will be authored by me, will basically announce that as the superior class of the politics forum, we will be ruling over this forum from henceforth, that all visitors must pay a 100% tax rate to us for use of our lands and products, and that if anyone wishes to join our cause and flee from the oppressive and backwards nature of the crownlands that they may come to our forum should their wealth be respectable enough 

(Basically we're going to fuck around and act like we're better than everyone else, for fun)

The oracle RM foresaw this flaw.

I actually didn't even know you could PM 2 at once, that is impressive to find out. Have you actually tried to do it? Was there a 3-person PM that activated?

I actually dont even know if a 3 way PM is possible either. I tried to put in everyones name in the receiver option and then just ran out of letter space before I could even get to a third person (in addition to myself). Rather then set up 3 PM's for 5 members I just figured to do things in public and save everyone the hassle.
