| DISCLAIMER: Olivia wrote this, and can't copy and paste at the moment. I'm posting this for her. Any references to "I" are speaking from her point of view; any references to "we" include the two of us. Olivia is now an administrator. Deal with it.
Ladies and gentlewomen of the forum:
I have come before you this evening on the winds of change. First, I will state the obvious in the most frank manner possible: We are falling apart -- both individually, and as a collective group of storytellers. We have all noticed, realized, stuck in our two cents, thrown our bitchfits, what have you. Today, I offer two solutions: one for each method of crumbling.
Individually: Please stand strong for one another. Personally, you have all been there for me through what could be considered my darkest hours, and it's very unlikely that you would drop dead if you showed that same kind of emotion to other members of the forum who need it more than I. We all have our home issues, and it's each our choice to choose whether or not to speak up and out about them. Don't hassle one another if we do -- frequently -- gripe, and don't show abnormal sympathies to those who hold their tongues.
Collectively, in consideration of us as fellow homo sapiens sapiens: Stop being whores.
Collectively, as a machine: As of now, the administration of the forum will not be handled in a manner of democracy. Over the past year, this has proven itself ineffective at goading us into action, as have our two-cent rants -- in this context, let's consider them as the pamphlets or bills of old -- that we know we've all had thusfar. The forum will now operate under a brand- spanking new oligarchial system. Rage against this system will not be taken into account in any way, shape, or form; you will be treated as a toddler pitching a fit over a dropped cone of ice cream, and as such will be promptly sent to a time out. (Not really. Neither of us will have the nads to actually ban you; you'll likely just wear yourself out and log off on your own. Enjoy.)
Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause in the future. As of now, we are skipping to the end of second arc and breezing swiftly ahead into third. Potter is dead; the world is without a governor. Who will rise and take the reigns, who will lead their fellow citizens to victory? Popular opinion seems to want Sawyer to step up, but one never knows these days. The public is so fickle.
[edit 3/31/13: downgrading to regular announcement because in hindsight this is fucking great but, as with every other rant ever, no one really, honestly gave a fuck] | |

| i love how no one commented on this and it's probably the best enlightenment post on this whole forum. also, not only does it put olivia back in power, which was kind of the underlying idea of migrating to this forum anyway, but it also removes the democratic aspect and replaces it with an oligarchy system, which was ALSO one of the main reasons to move.
does anyone really care? | |

| Can't tell if trolling or just stupid.
Just in case you're serious, I'm almost sure you're trolling. Almost, cause, Liza, the reasons we moved are the exact opposite from what you just said.
Nobody even cares anymore. We don't have a government, we don't have a fucking leader, we're a group of 6 girls (No, Kris doesn't fucking count.) talking to each other over the internet. None of us have any power over any of the rest of us, including banning. This is an internet roleplay, and if you're not just trying to troll us and piss us off, you guys are taking it way too seriously. It was fun when we didn't have rules. It was fun when we did whatever the hell we wanted. This governmental shit is stupid.
And the reason nobody's commented on this is because you said that you're going to ban us. Also all of your epiphanies and "enlightenment posts" are still worthless Deal with it oh and go ahead and ban me don't fucking care

| If you don't care about this 'government shit' then why even respond to what may be a joke? No one minds if anyone on here views anyone else's posts as worthless, because as you said, we're just 'six girls talking to each other over the internet'. Also, maybe some of us weren't sure how to respond or never saw this. I couldn't say, because I, like you, can only speak honestly about myself. There's no reason to get so upset about it, especially with what you stated in your last phrase. | |

honey okay honey no. wow. this is bullshit, and you know it. you hated that olivia had the banhammer because she would ban you for "ridiculous reasons" and we all thought she was generally being a bitch. if olivia had been nicer to you (arguably, if you hadn't been such a bitch to her in the first place), and didn't make new rules you didn't like and banned you for reasons NOT in the official rules, we would have easily stayed. but you had to be all ANARCHY ANARCHY and i (and other forumers) went along with it and thus bitchistan was colonized. - Quote :
- We don't have a government
it's a metaphor. the whole history of our friendship is comparable to periods of actual history. (renaissance, enlightenment, colonization&exploration, civil wars/revolutions, etc) - Quote :
- we don't have a fucking leader
of course we do, but it depends on in what context. socially, the leadership position switches quite often, as seen in our debates and discussions. "politically," olivia and i are the leaders, and we're the two that have constantly been kicking this trying to get it started. everyone else has been all-talk. isn't a leader supposed to back their words up with actions? - Quote :

hahahaha we aren't even doing that anymore. - Quote :
- None of us have any power over any of the rest of us, including banning.
this is a ridiculous statement. of course liv and i have power over you, admin-wise. there's this nice little link on every profile page that says "Ban this Member," which i can use to ban you or anyone else i so please. - Quote :
- This is an internet roleplay, and if you're not just trying to troll us and piss us off, you guys are taking it way too seriously.
it's more than just a roleplay. it's a series of interconnected friendships that has been ongoing for 5+ years. it's the roleplay that's magically (ha, ha) held us all together throughout the years, and some of us would rather like not to lose that connection. arguably, we've been with each other through what could be considered our darkest hours, and you know what's kept us going? "hey, let's roleplay." it's been a shining beacon of hope, of love, of friendship. to say that it can be taken too seriously is a horrendously insensitive claim; rather, such a bond between six people that have never seen each other face-to-face can't be taken seriously enough. if we don't roleplay, we don't talk, so pardon us for wishing to preserve a sisterhood. - Quote :
- It was fun when we didn't have rules.
before we migrated you where whining and complaining about new rules that were biased and unfair, and now all of a sudden we didn't have them? you've called olivia's administration prowess into question more than once over rules, whether they be enforced too strictly on you (for not replying) or whether they be too ridiculous (30 second ban if you say "the game" on the chatbox) or whether they weren't enforced at all. one of the big reasons of migrating--and you know it's true, and i'm sick of lying about it--was over the enforcement of rules. now, all of a sudden, no rules is fun? - Quote :
- It was fun when we did whatever the hell we wanted.
you still can you know i mean there aren't any rules against roleplaying just a shift in gears is all i mean we never really could do whatever the hell we wanted because even on the last forum people would get banned and posts/topics deleted/locked if they were deemed unnecessary (divination love potions) or crude (topics made exclusively for arguing). - Quote :
- This governmental shit is stupid.
you wrote this before we moved - Spoiler:
THE ROLEPLAYING BILL OF RIGHTS AMENDMENT ONE ~ Admins shall not ban or make a rule against: an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise of that religion; or abridging the freedom of speech, life of characters, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to bother the admins for abolishment of rules contradictory to these statements.
AMENDMENT TWO ~ A well regulated board of admins is necessary to the functioning of the forum, and all six main characters' players (Stephanie, Sarah, Libby, Amanda, Olivia, and Justine) will have equal positions of power.
AMENDMENT THREE ~ No person shall be banned from the forum unless they break one of the specified rules. For no other reason shall people be banned.
AMENDMENT FOUR ~ No characters shall be killed without the permission of the creator of said character (and permission of killer, if necessary).
AMENDMENT FIVE ~ The people of the forum shall take a vote on issues such as timeskipping far into the future, ending the year, or adding any new rules. The majority vote will AT LEAST be 4/6. The vote shall not be by a poll. Poll votes *in topics* are not accurate because admins can vote more than once, thus making it unfair. Any amendments to this great Bill of Rights will need a 5/6 vote to pass. ABOUT TIMESKIPPING VOTES: Any small timeskip (such as a week, or a timeskip to Hogsmeade,) will require a majority (usually 4/6) vote. Any large timeskip, such as end of the year, or to a special event, will require a 5/6 vote. Any HUUUUUUUGE timeskip will require unanimous voting.
AMENDMENT SIX ~ The people of the forum reserve the right to reply whenever they want, to whomever they want. People may ask politely for a person to reply (to any topic, post, or PM), but no-one shall be banned or denied rights for not replying.
AMENDMENT SEVEN ~ People of the forum will be able to choose their own titles (i.e. Not The Jerkass Woobie, but something the user chose) and they will not be assigned to them.
AMENDMENT EIGHT ~ No major timeskippings shall occur (months, end of years) without everyone on. If one person has specified you can go on without them and is not on at the time, but everyone else is on, the timeskip may occur. This could occur with more than one person specifying that you can go on.
AMENDMENT NINE ~ No major events (Weddings, Train rides to school, Feasts, Yule Balls, Parties, Bachelor(ette) parties, Battles, etc.) will take place without everyone on. Once again, a person can specify if they do not care and the event will go on. Pregnancy, Having a Baby, Getting Engaged, and other events that do not involve everyone do not fall under this amendment.
AMENDMENT TEN ~ If violations of these basic rights occur, all the people of the forum reserve the right to create and immigrate to the new forum. Posting a link of the new forum on said original forum shall be allowed.
also, IT'S A FUCKING METAPHOR. - Quote :

Not really. Neither of us will have the nads to actually ban you; you'll likely just wear yourself out and log off on your own. Enjoy. - Quote :

you've just called the entire forum's opinions worthless, as i am definitely NOT the only person writing all of the enlightenment posts or epiphanies or WHY DOES TIME GO SO FAST rants. sarah, justine, olivia, and amanda have all written such posts. So saying that "all of mine" are worthless is calling about two topics into question. - Quote :
- Deal with it
- Quote :
- oh and go ahead and ban me
don't fucking care
well, if you insist. (: | |

| You guys... what's happening. No. Don't fight. The reason I'm not on is because I'm too busy with my life right now. There's so much going on for me, and I need to be out here fixing it. I didn't think this would be happening, though. You're all falling into turmoil. Seriously, we used to depend on each other with problems. Just... let's forget this, and log onto chatbox, and just talk. Okay? I was worried enough when we lost the habit of roleplaying, but... but loosing the habit of talking makes me hurt. I'm sorry. I'll come on more. I'll try. Christmas break starts next week for me, I'll be on then, okay? | |
