So you want to know about how AG works Politically?Here I shall create my own pieces of writing that shall tell you about the different aspects of AG's system.
Armor Games Political System
AG has a completely new system that combines a Socialist Monarchy with a democracy.The leader does not change,and the people can not choose the leader,and the people are limited to what the government wants to give them as products or services and filter their freedom of speech within the nation,but they choose what types of services they want to implement according to what the people want,and the people have many other rights within the nation that can most likely be found more in a democratic system,such as what products out of the ones given to them they want to use(the products are games within the site)
AG's National Government(Admins)
Dan McNeely-He is the Emperor of the Nation and makes many decisions for what happens within the Nation and for the most part stays in the shadows,but when he wants to make a large statement,then he will do it himself.Most statements he makes concern foreign policy(other sites)
Carlie-She is the known by many different titles,but is overall the Prime Minister of the Nation and is for the most part the eyes,ears,and mouth of the Emperor.She makes many statements for him, tells him ideas that the citizens want to be implemented,and also is the head of enforcement within the nations many different states of forum.
Shpigford-He is known as the Secretary of Infrastructure,and he is in charge of adding national services and removing programs that are not working.He is also in charge of making sure that all of the nations bridges and highways are operational.(making sure that there are no glitches within the site as much as possible)
John-He is known as the Secretary of Commerce and trade,and he is in charge of producing and overseeing products within the Nation and helped create the foundation for its economy(games)
If you guys like what you have read so far then be sure to tell me on here
Next time:
The State Government Officials(Mods)&
The Big 3 Product Makers(The Main Game Developers of AG)
Hope you like it so far!

Klause, I somewhat agree with that, and somewhat do not. Yes, he definitely has the ultimate veto power. But that is not necessarily how he runs the site. He has the power to run it that way, but doesn't. So in theory, it could be a dictatorship, but in reality it is not.
There is no thinking process to be had here, there is one thing it is and many things that it isn't. Many think its a democracy or something socialist in the middle of the spectrum. Its a flat out dictatorship, not to say this in a bad way but that's all it is. No matter what happens it can be shot down by Dan. If all of AG revolted and said we want this or that, including the mods, Dan could say no. He has the final word on everything. If he wants, he could turn this into a porn site tomorrow. There is no arguing this point because everything in the ends goes through Dan who says yes or no.
That would be true if shpigford was his slave and would be willing to code anything for him.Although truthfully for the most part that could be true.Although really that could be true for all sites if you want to look at it in that way.Interesting idea,although really nothing I said really argues against it.Still its not like anything else within it will reflect upon the ideas of the first paragraph.Still it is all irrelevant to me,as I don't plan on making any changes to it just because I am lazy,and don't feel like it.Plus since I did call it a monarchy(the original kind of monarchy that isn't restricted) it kind of fits into that description.I shall be politically correct.
@ crimsonblade
I love the idea that you associated the forums with the states. Brilliant idea.
@ Klause
Get a grip.
Well, actually it's not very useful to tell somebody to 'get a grip' when this is their honest perspective, they've presented a viewpoint and substantiated an argument.
This may be tangential to the purposes of the thread but it would be better to discuss the merits of the cases constructively.
can just see Perma Ban being compared to the Death Penalty
I would say this is also wrong: the Death Penalty would be akin to us sending somebody to permanently cut the user's physical internet connection.
Perma Ban is more appropriately thought of as exile/excommunication.
OK well look this thread looks like it is going down the road to a flame war at this point,so....yeah.Either way try not to look into these things too much.It is not guaranteed to completely politically accurate I suppose,but right now I must take my leave for the day.
Klause, I somewhat agree with that, and somewhat do not. Yes, he definitely has the ultimate veto power. But that is not necessarily how he runs the site. He has the power to run it that way, but doesn't. So in theory, it could be a dictatorship, but in reality it is not.
But see, a dictator does not do everything, Hitler and/or Castro had others below them to handle things because they had other issues to handle, so indeed this would still constitute a dictatorship.
@ Klause
Get a grip.
Geez why is everyone misspelling my name today?
Anyways, I do have a grip, I have a better grip than most I would say when it comes to the politics of AG, I have given as Strop said, an argument, a very good one at which it has been retorted then once again retorted by myself, by which I believe I am coming out as the victor of this quip.
Although this might seen as an aggressive writing in the means to bash I do not and I stay away from bashing, I simply state facts and opinions that are not to be took of offense.. usually. I am just direct instead of "cutting around the hedge". But really my point is that ill thought out ideas like Crimson's should be thought out before posted in my opinion, because throwing out these ideas makes me angry and more ready to get in a bout of anger.

Lol, sorry about that ^_^
so indeed this would still constitute a dictatorship.
I think it would be interesting to see how Dan views AG as a political system.
Get him in here! :P
But you must understand I do not say dictatorship negatively. Castro is doing great(was doing) great with Cuba from what I saw, great medical system. Anyways I don't say it in a bad way, dictatorships can work well depending, I think Dan is doing a great job at picking things to come into and not come into AG as well as moving it forward extremely. Now I can't give him all the credit of course, I DID COME UP WITH THE NATIONALITY FLAGS IDEA! Haha but really all you mods and ship and stuff have been a big part of it too. It's just this dictatorship seems to be working out quite well.
YOu missed the bit about Strop being in the Political Case against a user, and many people were choosing sides...
KingRyan
Shhhh quiet kingryan, we all know torts is a waste of time :P
it has been retorted then once again retorted by myself, by which I believe I am coming out as the victor of this quip.
You mean rebutted. Also, one should not declare victory on the internet: it should go without saying, because otherwise you look like a knob.
because throwing out these ideas makes me angry and more ready to get in a bout of anger.
Klaus man, I'm worried about you.
This is the internet!
It looks like I was right.It did turn into a bit of a flame war after I left.Seriously though I hope this is all done with by now,as I am getting sick of all of it.If this keeps up though I'm just going to have a mod lock this thread and just trash the project.Anyways I am going to take a break from this project for now until I am done with some other projects.
You'd have to take more than a break, you need to completely revamp the entire idea, since it's wrong.
Sorry Crimson, I don't think there's much I can do about this thread at the moment.
Klaus: I've already asked you multiple times on multiple threads to stop. I already stated quite clearly that it's not a matter of whether you are right here, because your behavior is now such that you are undermining the purpose of the forums.
No hard feelings, but please reevaluate where you stand and your relation to AG. I honestly think you're the one who needs a break.
