    That sort of behaviour saddled us with years of no change. Then, our great leader, Timekeeper, descended and brought change. Slowly, friends; that is how we succeed. Wearing away at the walls like the ocean bites at the shore.

    I would up you for disrespecting your PM but that would be awfully hypocritical of me considering I think my PM is a daft

    Eight days later, five days left. I look forward to the staff's response to this thread and acknowledgement we are due an avatar size upgrade. Really, I could not be more gleeful, in a childlike and innocent manner.

    Raistlin, yes and no. Obviously the elected government holds no actual power (other than the people's), but becoming a Knight is not a mobocratic decision on during an arbitrary period of time done for superfluous reasons, which the former is, and the former is cooler for it. So, yes, staff actually runs things, and an elected party and its government are just pretty faces. I like being a pretty face.

    rubah, but I already waited until you were eighteen; what do you mean, another eighteen?! Sigh, I can do nothing but obey.

    Ugh, I guess we should look into running elections again because they were/are due some time, yeah?

    Theoretically yes, but the last elections never really concluded so it's a bit hard to expect anyone to get stuck into that again

    I know, Jiro, which makes me want to run it even when I do not. Maybe after this year, it will fall to the previous party to run the next elections.

    I am a little proud of the successes that have been the elections I ran (also the one I participated in heavily with my partner in crime Freya and the Apocalypse Party -- neva4get)

    This is what happens when we let a Chocobo be our Administrator.

    83x83 avatars? More like 84x84.

    These kids today with their pac man video games, hula hoops, loud rock music and their Dan Fogelberg. When I was first getting on the Internets, we didn't have avatars or signatures, just a username! We need to return to the Traditional Internet Values that this great Internet was based on, when it was brought forth by our Nerd Forefathers!

    Down with progress! Timekeeper wasn't born at this IP address! I demand to see his site certificate!

    I believe we are back on track? Good to see that at least one government keeps its promises these days. Poké Party 4 Eva
