Who would you vote for as President/Prime Minister?
Which one of the mods? Or would Lee have the final say, being the creator and titular head?

How many fairly pointless threads can you post in a day man?

Anyway, Matt Rock is the forum president, so I assume that he'd take charge.

Ravey would be in charge of construction and traffic.
Lee would be in charge of finances and communication.
Jeku would be in charge of policing and crime.

@mamaji4 -
Matt Rock is the forum president already. Seriously, he is.

Another pointless thread by mamaji4. If you hang out on and post on a game development website the least you could do is pretend to develop a game. Otherwise you're just a troll making random posts that have nothing to do with game making or even geek talk in order to fill the boredom that is your life.

It may be a pointless thread, but sadly it's the most interesting thread on the Geek Culture board right now.

If Apollo was declared a country, I would make a baby in it's honor.

Random thought: The mods would become dark horseman and rule the lands with fear and win... and fear.

@Cash

Actually I entered a few of the Competitions on the stop-gap RGT forums and even when TGC started out as www.darkbasic.com
One of them (which TDK Man won eventually) was to code any game which made use of only the keyboard and text commands.
I've been active on the forums when Van B still hadn't become Mod and we've laughed at the same James Dean jokes.

I think we've ruffled each other's feathers enough and let's just call a truce, huh?

Mamaji, please stop drinking your energy drinks, we don't need these threads.
I don't feel like actually posting anything on-topic would contribute anything to this board, so I won't.

Query: Are Mamaji4 and MID90... whatever his name is, the same person? I keep getting them mixed up. It's weird.
And I heartily agree that the whole of GC needs a good clean up of pointless threads like these.

I approve of this thread! All threads have points! All posts in bold have points!

Also: If there was a civil war i bet it would be pretty even because both sides are so strong!

According to the jurisdiction in my county, a war is anyone who opposes the county leader.. I am the leader in my county. You're just a pawn.

I want to be Minister for Sanitation and Sanitariums
I'd force everybody to give each other a bath. And I'd lock up anybody who refuses into the Sanitariums, declaring them insane, since they want to take a bath on their own.
Tee, hee.

Then I'd be the only "insane" person. I ain't giving anyone else a bath unless it'd be my own child (or if, by some bad luck, work at a nursing home).

Interesting use of comas. Try reading that out loud. You're a kid, aren't you? MIDN90 and mamajima must be the same person.

A nation has been handed to you on a silver platter. So lets use the case study approach and start off by framing the National Anthem of Apollo.

If you're feeling real lazy,
And you wanna get crazy,
Let's bathe each other baby.
Hail Apollo, Hail Apollo, Hail Appolo.

Actually the National Anthem should have more than one stanza.
But since I'm Minister of Sanitation that's the best I could do.

If there are any more anthem suggestions we could vote for the best one and then move on to matters of greater import, like the framing of the Constitution.

Nah, I'm not a kid. I'm just a product of the American education system.

What the? I thought you were just anti-bathing in your other thread.

Maybe it's payback for those who said get a bath yourself.

No matter; I ain't doing it.

No, they are different. I'm not sure who mamajima is, but MIDN90 is perhaps the ghost of a previous user who was banned more than half a dozen times. He's of course trying to stay under the radar, but some of us are catching on to who he is. Only time will tell...

Or we could be wrong and he's just another user who is trying to annoy people.

I don't think I want to have anything to do with this thread anymore, if you all think I'm trying to be annoying.
I thought there was some place for light humour. But I guess not.

Mamaji4, please stop trying to pick a fight (if that's what you're doing). It's annyoing; I'm not sure why he's doing that but both of you are getting a bit annoying now.

Please stop.

Although, as far as I'm aware you can have a comma there if you want to, or not at all, it doesn't matter - but I'm no English teacher.
