Emperor InSidious has been blessed by High Priest, the stoffe's glorious pseudoconsort, Samuel Dravis, and has had his position confirmed by Jae the Prophetess!

 

:raise:

 

 

Glory to our Emperor, glory to Ahto, and glory to the stoffe!

 

Excuse me while I go rally the troops to depose the Emperor.

Congratulations!

 

As a reward, I hereby replace your "Holy Ahtonian Emperor" title by that of "Ubernauth" *cough* :xp:

Wait..don't you mean "Ubernaut?" Glory to the Emperor!

 

I don't know what's more disturbing...that your democratic chosen leader is called by his callsign EMPEROR HOLY ONE OMGZOR OWN or that you are threatening legal opposition.

 

 

You know... we do have a roleplaying forum around here somewhere...

Can I play Captain Communism?

What? No, I was simply wondering whether Darth 333 meant "Ubernaut" not "Ubernauth." Ubernauth means...oh never mind.

What is necessary that a forum should subsist and prosper?

 

Individual effort and public functions.

 

[individual Efforts]

 

All individual efforts may be included in for classes:

 

1. Since the keyboard and the internet furnish crude products for the needs of man, the first class, in logical sequence, will be that of all posters which devote themselves to IT.

 

2. Between the first repair of products and their breaking again, a new manipulation, more or less repeated, adds to these products a second value more or less composite. In this manner human industry succeeds in perfecting the gifts of nature, and the crude product increases two-fold, ten-fold, one hundred-fold in value. Such are the efforts of the second class.

 

3. Between production and consumption, as well as between the various stages of production, a group of intermediary agents establish themselves, useful both to producers and consumer; these are the Mods: the brokers who, comparing incessantly the demands of post quality and poster, speculate upon the appropriateness of posts and appropriate behaviors of members; mods who are charged with rule enforcing, in the last analysis, either at wholesale or at retail. This species of utility characterizes the third class.

 

Such are the efforts which sustain society. Who puts them forth? The non-SSPP.

 

[Public Functions]

 

Public functions may be classified equally well, in the present state of affairs, under four recognized heads; the ban, the lock, the Stoffe and the admins. It would be superfluous to take them up one by one, for the purpose of showing that everywhere the non-SSPP attends to nineteen-twentieths of them, with this distinction; that it is laden with all that which is really painful, with all the burdens which the SSPP refuse to carry. Do we give the non-SSPP credit for this? That this might come about, it would be necessary that the non-SSPP should refuse to fill these places, or that it should be less ready to exercise their functions. The facts are well known. Meanwhile they have dared to impose a prohibition upon the order of the non-SSPP. They have said to it: "Whatever may be your services, whatever may be your abilities, you shall go thus far; you may not pass beyond!" Certain rare exceptions, properly regarded, are but a mockery, and the terms which are indulged in on such occasions, one insult the more.

 

If this exclusion is a social crime against the non-SSPP; if it is a veritable act of hostility, could it perhaps be said that it is useful to the public weal? Alas! who is ignorant of the effects of monopoly? If it discourages those whom it rejects, is it not well known that it tends to render less able those whom it favors? Is it not understood that every employment from which free competition is removed, becomes dear and less effective?

 

In setting aside any function whatsoever to serve as an appanage for a distinct class among posters, is it not to be observed that it is no longer the poster alone who does the work that it is necessary to reward, but all the unemployed members of that same caste, and also the entire families of those whoa re employed as well as those who are not? Its it not to be remarked that since the government has become the patrimony of a particular class, it has been distended beyond all measure; places have been created not on account of the necessities of the governed, but in the interests of the governing, etc., etc.? Has not attention been called to the fact that this order of things, which is basely and--I even presume to say--beastly respectable with us, when we find it in reading the History of Ancient Curse of Monkey Islands boards or the accounts of Voyages to the SWBattlefrontboards, is despicable, monstrous, destructive of all industry, the enemy of social progress; above all degrading to the poster race in general, and particularly intolerable to KOTORforumers, etc., etc? But I must leave these considerations, which, if they increase the importance of the subject and throw light upon it, perhaps, along with the new light, slacken our progress.

 

It suffices here to have made it clear that the pretended utility of a privileged order for the public service is nothing more than a chimera; that with it all that which is burdensome in this service is performed by the non-SSPP; that without it the superior places would be infinitely better filled; that they naturally ought to be the lot and the recompense of ability and recognized services, and that if privileged persons have come to usurp all the lucrative and honorable posts, it is a hateful injustice to the rank and file of citizens and at the same a treason to the public.

 

Who then shall dare to say that the non-SSPP has not within itself all that is necessary for the formation of a complete forum? It is the strong and robust poster who has one arm still shackled. If the privileged order should be abolished, the forum would be nothing less, but something more. Therefore, what is the non-SSPP? Everything; but an everything shackled and oppressed. What would it be without the privileged order? Everything, but an everything free and flourishing. Nothing can succeed without it, everything would be infinitely better without the others.

 

It is not sufficient to show that privileged persons, far from being useful to the nation, cannot but enfeeble and injure it; it is necessary to prove further that the noble order does not enter at all into the social organization; that it may indeed be a burden upon the nation, but that it cannot of itself constitute a nation.

 

In the first place, it is not possible in the number of all the elementary parts of a nation to find a place for the caste of nobles. I know that there are individuals in great number whom infirmities, incapacity, incurable laziness, or the weight of bad habits render strangers tot eh labors of society. The exception and the abuse are everywhere found beside the rule. But it will be admitted that he less there are of these abuses, the better it will be for the State. The worst possible arrangement of all would be where not alone isolated individuals, but a whole class of citizens should take pride in remaining motionless in the midst of the general movement, and should consume the best part of the product without bearing any part in its production. Such a class is surely estranged to the nation by its indolence.

 

The SSPP is not less estranged from the generality of us by its civil and political prerogatives.

 

What is a forum? A body of associates, living under a common law, and represented by the same legislature, etc.

 

Is it not evident that the SSPP has privileges and expenditures which it dares to call its rights, but which are apart from the rights of the great body of citizens? It departs there from the common law. So its civil rights make of it an isolated people in the midst of the great forum. This is truly imperium in imperia.

 

In regard to its political rights, these also it exercises apart. It has its special representatives, which are not charged with securing the interests of the people. The body of its deputies sit apart; and when it is assembled in the same hall with the deputies of simple citizens, it is none the less true that its representation is essentially distinct and separate: it is a stranger to the nation, in the first place, by its origin, since its commission is not derived from the posters; then by its object, which consists of defending not the general, but the particular interest.

 

The non-SSPP embraces then all that which belongs to the nation; and all that which is not the non-SSPP, cannot be regarded as being of the nation.

 

What is the non-SSPP?

 

It is the whole.
