Haddas started a silly joke about Christopia, the new AGS country in the middle of the Caribbean.
It's resulting into something funny!
First, we need a place...
http://www.vladi-private-islands.de/islandsforsale.html
Discuss about it, this is an exercise of creativity for creating a new imaginary country. I've rushed the flag.
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a214/La_Lore/Critics%20Lounge/AGSflag.gif)
And, oh! I've received the first complains about the racist implied in the St. George cross. I will fix it, I will try to include a half moon.
The explanation of the shield: Lion=Jones. The panel below right=Roger. Bluecup and St. George's cross, a homage to the place where AGS was born, England.
The chanel #Christopia is open to discuss about this.
I propose Chris Jones as the King (Constitutional monarchy, ok? I don't want dictadures).
I am only sure about charging diplomacy to Andail, and the ministry of war, to me.
EDIT: As we should be a little country in the middle of the sea, the army would probably be a body of civil protection, more than an "army". We should have the tools to fight against hurricanes and that stuff.
If not, I might accept the ministry of sport too.
We can do as much ministries as we want. I demmand Haddas to have a ministry as well for having propossed this.
I want this to be a fictitional place to be used in AGS games. So, the more things we do, the better, anthems, Identifying documents, national parties...
Discuss more about it. This can be funny.Ã, :)
This is a great idea. We must have an election to choose the president/prime minister of Christopia.
I nominate SSH.
I agree, Andrew can be a great Prime Minister.
On the other hand, we need a name. A real official good/sounding name. I go for "Caribbean Kindom of Christopia". I'd like to add more stuff to the flag, does somebody know latin?
Edit: The first version of the anthem can be heard here:
http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agsoperas/original/The%20AGS%20Overture.mp3
But it does sound like a "jam" Could someone fix it and make it sound professional? And we need lyrics. Something vaguely linked with "real" anthems.
This reminds me of this...
http://www.citizensrequired.com/unit/site/index.shtml
Interesting idea.
I'd like to a minister, or an ambassador.
In honor of this new country I planted some flowers that will greet all the new citizens and visitors of Christopia.
(http://img430.imageshack.us/img430/5239/christopia8tb.png)
I hope of course I'll have your support when the flower-minister is chosen.
You've created Christopia's first christopiary!
You have my vote for flower minister.
I ran a simulation what would happen if Everyone crammed onto the island. THIS (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v86/Haddas/Christopia/) Is the shocking result.
This leads me to believe that we need to start checking if AGSers are real agsers, or just people who want to live in Christopia. As you clearly see, the initial boom is enormous.
Also. I am the founder and lead bureaucrat at the Game Categorizing And Rating Bureau.
Haha that anthem kicks ass! Sure, it's more like a song than an anthem, but anthem's are for losers, we are the cool folks, so we will have a cool anthem dammit!
oh, but as much as I like the rapping thing at the end, it sounds too much like "we didn't start the fire".
Do we really want an anthem that goes like:
"Glorious pixel land,
guiding us with clicks of hand,
to the magical blue cup of code,
down the 320 x 230 resolution'd road."
No we don't!
I request to be the minister of crazy talk.
That position was filled by Obi ages ago.
Nothing can ever sound too much like "We didn't start the fire".
Oh, oh, pick me! I want to be nominated for minister of SOMETHING! How about... minister of... random and usually useless modules? Eh? Eh?
Great now we'll just end up with an island of ministers.
Well, we could always enlave the members who haven't posted in over two years (there's a LOT of them).
Whoa. For a minute there, I read that as Christ-opia.

Thanks Ali, Farl.
As prime minister, I take full responsibility for positive integers that are not divisible by any other positive integers...
I don't want a position in the government, but I'll sponsor it.
Not that I'm buying you or something, but in return you might like to pass some laws favouring my constructions company while I'm looking for contracts...

Eh... SSH as prime minister... ummm, eh, you didn't see me escaping on that boat back there. And I hope you have as .. hmm... disaster-free lifes in there...
I've changed it a bit. No crosses at all. No crescent moons, or David's stars.
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a214/La_Lore/AGSflag.png)
And I've included a reference to Mittens.Ã, ;D
I have a group of candidates:
King: Christopher ****** Jones
Prime Minister: SSH
Foreign affairs: Nikolas (I wanted a pacifist, I thought on Andail, but I moved him to...)
Culture: Petter Ljunqvist. (He wants to be a teacher no?)
Minister of Defense: Farlander. Alynn and Yaksplit will be the army...
Minister of Economy: DG MacPhee. (Man, this is going to rock...)
Haddas: Minister of something.
Minister of governation: Creed Malay.
Minister of Beverages: Grundy.
Minister of gardening and flower maintenance: HillBilly.
Sheriff: Squinky. (He works in a prison, no?)
Minister of inner affaires: Mr. C. He has allways seemed fair with me, even considering myself a "difficult" member... I think he should do the laws.
Anyone wants to join?
As this is going to be an non religious kingdom, there won't be a chief of the church. But there will be a place (The same for all) for practising the religion. As Babar acted as a Imam once, he hill be the Imam. Rharpe can be the Pope, and the Ravi, the only Jew I can think of, is Dave Gilbert.
I would've been the greatest flower minister ever. I even got a whole vote from Ali.
I'll remember this during the rebel revolution. We'll see how your precious military evens up to our sticks and stones.
EDIT: And flowers.
Is there going to be any pubs? Just put me down as a local at one of the pubs. Maybe somebody who spreads gossip through the land. The Town Rat. :)
I will be the... mm... What's the most important position there is where one can be physically as far as possible from the government?
Janitor.
¬¬
Oh I know. Can I be the minister of clairvoyance, necromancery and other unnaturalities?
So now you're the local fantasy nerd.
I am realising that we need something. Girls. Ministress of women affaires, inquisitive stranger? The ratio is 10 males to 1 female, so, this would be a ministery with lots of work.
We need a national typical dress. I am thinking in Andail's pink bermudas, but I am not sure it this is too unserious.
Okay no then.
I've been taking care of the duties of the Head of Court. And I like it. I'll keep the position.

Woops. I want to be a guard. I have noticed in playing ES4, that every castle has guards. I want to be a guard and not the Town gossip. I will protect the government at any cost. Let me be CJ's personal guard. :)

Ow!
Chair...floor...head...can't stop laughing--
Let's see...
So far we've got a bunch of ministries, houses for ministers, blocks of flats for the working people...pubs, clubs, stadiums, public services, schools, hospitals, museums, docks, shops, malls...
and I have signed exclusive contacts to build all of them... :)
If you can, please count me in as an official bard.
I will be coming to see what's going on in the country and sit in the corner of one of Domino's pubs, with a lute and a glass of Scottish whiskey always near me.
As a troubadour, I'm, of course, going to wander through the whole world praising the name of the mighty Christopia! ;)
I dig the flag, Farlander.
So, write the lyrics of the anthem. See page 1 of this post to find the melody. Make it very epic!
Ok, I'll see what I can do. ;)
*mumble grumble*
Fine! I will be the island's greatest thief! (Except... I just told you about it.. damn.)
Then I guess I will work in the Blue cup factory, making sure that every cup meets the standards of blue-ish-ness. there will be no cups of any other colours!
(No whoever it is that keeps using that photo of their REAL AGS mug, spare us from seeing the photo again!)
Wow, I'm the Sheriff, yeah!
As Christopia's newest Sheriff I do solemly vow to grow the coolest handle-bar mustache possible....
And now I can wear my chaps without being called fruity, this is the best!
(Also, I don't work in a prison anymore, I now hang sheetrock, yay!)
Oh, and you people better build us a damn fine courthouse. As soon as it's build, Squinky can start hauling scum in and we'll jail their asses and the owners of their asses.
Reckons, you need to build a huge jail too.
Yeah man, we have around 3000 members!
I could be an ambassador. An ambassador for the people. Elect Layabout as your Good times ambassador.
That's not fair! It should be a democracy! I guess I'll be the leader of rebels who stages a coup every so often who is known as "Col. Edmundo".
Either that or to be in charge of the space program! Or to be pope of the church of Chris.
Also, we need some traditional music. Something that would make Christopia famous for,. Oh, and some sort of traditional alcoholic beverage.
Ok, ok!!! Big Brother and Layabout are now in the diplomacy body.
Man... now I have to preppair an army for fighting against Cuba's invasion :-\.
And Edmundo is now the official chief of the rebel army.
Squinky, chase these flithy rebels.
Farlander you warmongering buffoon! You'll get us all killed!
Less than 24 hours and we've already gone Lord of the Flies...
And where is my swiming pool mansion, cp? Your building subcontractors are lazy and shiftless.
Well, with a sheriff comes the deputy :=

<< Strangely enough It seems I am wearing the national typical clothes (more or less). Ã, ;D
We are flooded with ministers, so all I have is my shack at the beach and a small boat for smuggling red cups and lemons for the rebels at night. During the day time I walk around the island and try to sell some food and keyrings to the silly tourists.
And the island does have a cup-shaped vulcano, doesn't it? Anyway, HERE IS A PASSPORT TEMPLATE:
(http://img306.imageshack.us/img306/6960/pass6ja.png)
Put a pixely picture over there, add a destinctive signature, Name, Date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy), and your job(s). :P
I'm thinking of moving in Christopia. Where can I get some brochures and some more specific information about the place? Like for example what kind of jobs does it have to offer. Thanks.
By the way, nice passport, Krysis! :D

Here, I, the King, being witness of the revolt, decide to pass all my powers to the ministry of Defence, Sir John Ignatius of Ayala and Rico, and trespass him my crown for him to rule with the name of "John Ignatius Ayala, the Strong", in reward for his brave actions against the rebel army leaded by the filthy dog known as Edmundo.
Traitors elements of the government will be depurated, and the pro communists will be executed. Only lasts the firm of the new King to proceed with the capital punishement of the former Prime Minister, the Minister of Culture, Foreign Affairs and Economy. Sheriff Squinky will be promoted to Prime Minister.
"Kingdom of Christopia, where you will allways have a voice, the land where no one will be above of you, and the king besides of us all"
Cheers.

Oooh ooh! I want to be the town thug. The one who beats up everyone who can't help the fact that they are young and untrained in the arts of... well... art! Seen as i'm already pretty good at this, training will be unneccesary. Plus, i'm really good at fighting. At least i think i am. When noone is home, i bounce around and pretend to kick ass. I'm really good at it.
Vote for me as town thug!

What's the national currency? Dollars, Euros, Rupees?
The Roger.
I think it cold be a good idea to make it cost the sum of a dollar and a euro, and divided by two.
It should be a good way to solve problems of having equivalences to just one currency, like happened in Brazil with the cruzeiro when the dollar died (for just some weeks)
Of course, this all ideas must go into a constitution, which will have to be voted, and all that stuff...

We'd need to buy some major newspapers and channels first, to show the way to voters.
Hah. I propose a national IRC network on the island connected to every home. That is always on. So all info can be broadcasted over it.
Excellent idea. Now I don't have to go out of the house AT ALL!!!

They won't DCC you food.
Food is just an addiction. You get hooked on it when your ignorant parents feed it to you. Then you can't help but crave it for the rest of your life. The logical solution is to not feed your offspring, so that they never get addicted, and therefore don't need food at all. As for us? We'll just have to go through a 12 step program.
By the way, since there aren't anywhere near to as many AGS women as there are AGS men, does that mean that we men now have to like, worship and praise the women, for fear of being single all our lives?
We'll make bronze swords, and cool-ass boats with frigging crazy dragon heads, and steal women from nearby islands....Although when they see our awesome swords and boats, they will probably come off their own accord....
Yes... I can finally live out my dream as a viking! I'll bet we'll be infringing on foreign policy if we go around stealing women though... maybe we could program robot women instead... or clone the ones we already have... yeah... I like the cloning idea! Each guy gets to pick a woman, and then we clone her, and that guy gets a perfect replica all to himelf! Can we be a country that allows more than one wife, please?
If things go in the way they're going, we will be a country with more than a husband per wife...
Man, even the King has no queen... :'(
I 've written Salma Hayek, though, she migh be interested in having a date with Chris... eeer... His Majesty.
We'll just clone Kinoko, and let Chris have her.
Ok, I've reconsidered... I might join if this were a communist state/island.

Psst. Don't listen to them. Join us and you'll be saved. Together we will take over the island.
Also, our rebellion opens its doors to the SLUDGE crowd.
Hrm... if these illeged "rebels" were to take over the island, would they support the cloning of women to distribute to the men, free of charge?
We have no tolerance for rebels.
Rebel scum...
As ambassador, I will meet with the rebels and discuss their issues. After that, it will be decided if they shall be directed to the Law ennforcement agencies...
Do we have a secret service... It would be a good idea... just to sort out these commie riff raff...
Well, I'll tell you right now, if we can't clone women at our own discretion free of charge, and give them out to every man on the island, then I WILL take up arms against this union.Ã, Just call me a "fire-eater" and give me a gun!
But...I made us a matching set of bronze swords and football helmets with reflective stickers man! I thought you were my "Raid Buddy"!
Man, way to leave me hanging....
Reflective stickers you say! I like shiny things! Maybe I should reconsider... we could just steal the wemon, as you suggested.. but from where? How about Cuba? No one likes Cuba!
What is wrong with communism? Nothing! I would also join if it were a communist state, but as it is not. A king is not needed! Kings only needlesly kill.
I know. Here in Norway we have a king and all he does is run around in the streets stabbing people.
..::LATEST NEWS::..
Slava, a subversive element with contacts with the former KGB and CUBA, who has a red cup in his avatar, has joined the rebel cause.
The chief of the diplomacy is preppairing a meeting with them... Mwahahahahaaaaaa!!!
Following Akumayo's advice, Farlanderus the strong, the minister of war, has got clone tecnology, but as there is a civil war going on, and nobody wants to think in sex atm, so he is preppairing a clone army.
The clone army is being equipped with bronze swords, and Football helmets with bright stickers on them, and leaded by Squinky, who is taking them to... to...
THE MEETING WITH THE REBELS AND LAYABOUT, MWAHAHAHAAAAA!!!111!!
Well, it is possible that someone has put a secret message inside a keyring. That keyring might have been sold to one, named Tuomas. Soon enough another rebel could have replased that keyring and then deliver the message to Slava.
The same someone that sold Tuomas the keyring, might have unloaded 5 dozens of "lemons"(huh, have fun with those) last night to a fellow named Edmundo in a secluded beach on the other side of the island. Now, where is my.... I mean, where is that misterious someone's... pay?
Ohh, and Long live the King. ::)

We should use our clone army of women to fight with the rebellion.
No, we should use our clone army of women. to fight with the rebellion.
Let's initiate peace negotiations. What would Chris say about all this? Do you think he'll make anymore versions of AGS if you betray him?
That's a good point.

Ignore that one... and this letter will self destruct in... hmm, a few seconds or hours or maybe even weeks, who knows.
As the minister of culture, I've implemented mandatory education in the arts of background-painting, sprite-drawing and animation.
There will be 50 new libraries, all devoid of Dan Brown and Paolo Coelho, and 15 concert halls, all proudly lacking symphonic hard rock ala Evanescence.
What!!!! No Evanescence???

Silence, or you'll end up in the guillotine!
See what happens? Our rebel group hasn't even attacked anything, and they're already out to get rid of us with a clone army of women. Maybe we are a peaceful rebel group, but nooo the Monarchy will not stand for anyone who does not believe in their empire!
And don't you see, women in this island, that they're also objectifying women by cloning them into objects of war and sex? Why would you be part of such a monarchy? :o
Oh dear, I've been gone the weekend and I come back to face this mess...
The Supreme Court (a.k.a. yours truly as it's only member) hasn't found anything illegal in the rebels' actions (yet), alas they cannot be sentenced anything.
The Court sentences "Nerezza Acqua" Akumayo to jail for 2 minutes for disagreeing with the Court.
The Court sentences SSH to pay a fine of 50 Rogers for being Tom Hanks.
The Court issues Krysis a warning for photoshopically insulting a member of the Goverment.
The Court sentences the Court a glass of whiskey.
Hmm can I have some military power and "take care" of this "peaceful" rebellion?
Long Live the King
Am i the only one who thinks we should make a "Christopia" massive multiplayer online game? Like with hattrick (http://www.hattrick.org) or... something similar. Would this be impossible? If so, why?

I have great news! I have contacted with the rebellion (I should fire you mr. Layabaout, you just had to use the PM feature... >:() And I got great news!
The rebellion is just Edmundo and Slava, in the middle of the jungle, with no weapons, no clean underwear, and, while he claims he is having peacefull contacts with Korea, and Iran and all that, I think they don't even have a battery radio.
So, what they are basically doing is to invent manifestos and drink rum. He claims to be heard and expose his ideas. Do we allow him to talk? After that, he hasn't started the violent acts, I think it wouldn't be a "rendition".
If everybody agrees, post here and he'll be able to post his ideas.
No lets give them weapons and have nice little civil war!!!Muhahahahahahahahaha!!!
I think we should allow the rebels back to the fold I've been wondering what my tea would taste like in one of them thar rebellious red cups...

(KristjanMan says to himself : Curse those sneaky rebels always trying to trick us. We must crush them, we must attack them, we simply must!)
Well anyway I think we should anounce the following persons wanted in all Christopia: Edmundo, Slava, Krysis and Ali
Please note: I don't dislike anyone in the wanted list I'm just trying to live into the Cristopia world ;) hope you understand!
The drink from the red cup is like the elexia of youth, no matter the beverage. Being in this jungle only gives me more time to put the guerilla warfare tatics into effect. I will also scare you all with my shock tatics also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb .
To Slava and Edmundo: You are not unarmed, I said someone has delivered you two 5 dozens of lemons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_grenade). Want something else?
To KristjanMan: I am not in the wanted list - no proves of my connection with the rebelion exist. I never even heard about the rebels. And as I am smuggling swedish porn to sertain members of the goverment I am pretty save too.
Yes you aren't but you should be Krysis and about you being safe well...accidents happen
Oh and yes they are unarmed these lemos "disappeared" mysteriosly after I saw that secret person deliverying them
Ok, Ok I am not one of the rebels so I won't like they do the lemons didn't diappear I stole them and they are now safe in one of the secret WWCR military base

How is the construction company going to build something if they don't have the plans to build upon?
They make their own and then you won't be guarding even a copy of them.
Oh but the mititary bases were there long before Christopia. These buildings are already built so have to "get" the diagrams. Now you will ask howcome nowbody have seen those buildings. Nobody has seen them because they are secret. Now you ofcourse will ask why were these buildings built. The answer to that is simple I have forsaw the rebellion many years before the Christopia was born.Now you simply ask how did I forsaw it. I use mystical power called "The Force". ( and I am also very smart :P )

If you're a barbarian, then you should probably join our rebellion. They probably think that you're a sick filthy outsider who speaks a germanic or hun language. :=
Is there room for a Minister of Funk?

Here is the regional typical dress, designed by Lorena, and inspired in the colours of the national flag, the swiss guard, and Andail's bermudas.

Now I want you, for an instant, to imagine 3000 people in the middle of the caribbean, disguised in this way, drunk and dancing during the 8th of may, the day of the national party of "The day of the return of the King"...
This would be a bit hard, but how about a program like that virtual chatroom thingo...hobbo or whatever it's called.
It would take a bit of work, but, meh, wishful thinking.
That cup should be blue-colored like in the very first example... or maybe that's a little too obvious a decision. :)
Seriously.... This one is only $1,500,000 - how many AGS'ers are we? Who's setting up a 'national economy' savings account?

I like that idea. :)
5,000 dollars per AGSer, if 3,000 AGSers pay...
Anyway, ask DGMacPhee, he is the Minister of Economy...
We should build an airport, huts, and some other facilities. I am specially worried about the hurricanes, so, I think we should have a bunker. In a high place... I would say we might need some other million of dollars, or two.
Isn't it only $500?Ã, - and then the extra million.Ã, Still, if we all pay $70 a month for a year, we would have more than that! (12 * 70 * 3,000 = 2,520,000). Besides, who needs an airport, we are honest pirates? And with everything going on, a hurricane will just be a welcome distraction, nothing critical, (especially now that the King has grown gills):
Quote from: The King
Rumours of my death were greatly exaggerated.
After getting involved in a fist fight with an angry rabbit over a parking space, I stumbled into the English Channel where I lay dead on the seabed for 2 weeks... whereupon a friendly mermaid breathed her magical breath into my lungs and I awoke from my slumber, only to find that I had grown gills.
Giddy with this new found underwater bliss, I remained under the surface, gently moving through the water whiling away my days, until I was attacked by a Great White Shark and had to beat a hasty retreat to the surface and back into civilization.
...still, we might need a few sponsors, just in case.
We can allways try selling AGS-related goods. T-shits, cups, keyrings, posters and other stuff. Who wouldn't want a Roger-shaped keyring or a Spooks T-shirt? ;D
Sorry.... I made the division in Excel, I didn't believed the cypher of 500 Dollars (too cheap for my mind) and repeated it. I think I unconsciently goofed it the second time.
500 bucks? well, the price is not unafordable. What should be tricky is to demmand 500 dollars to the "one-post" members! ;D
Well, who says we should DEMAND anything? We'll just TAKE it, once we hunt them down with our dogs. :D
I didn't take my place in Christopia yet...
I am the local eccentric rich weirdo, who lives in some kind of freaky castle on the hill outside of town. During the nights, you can hear things happening in it and there is a wide variety of rumours regarding the nature of those sounds/yells/screams/whatever.
I also secretely aid the rebellion against the King.
Since my last post here, I've been working on the anthem but ended up with something like that, completely improvised on a lame guitar:
click! (http://republika.pl/falloutmodding/bluecup.mp3) ;D
Thou shalt rise the cup of blue / where the magical shining brew, the lyrics say.
Seriously, I'm going to finish the whole thing just after the exams. I will change the music theme and probably use some medieval chords, like the true bard should. Some parts of the lyrics will be also in Latin (I've learned it for a year), so it's going to be epic as hell!
Hail!
Ah atlast Ive just signed of the building plans and exclusive contract with our humble king. And now I will build and overcharge everybody for there cabanas on the island and then buy my own secret little island...

I believe in healthy financial concurrence and I will not go to my friends in the press to denounce the contract our mighty King signed with you as a result of his date with Ms Hayek, although I was the one he had promised to give the constructions rights.
So, I will mind my business, invest in important researchÃ, and build modern, efficient, environment friendly buildings for the rich and famous so I will make friends among them . Just in case, you know.
If, I said "if", your buildings are found to be of low standards because of bad quality materials and negligent work, if your workers are on strikes all the time and your company gets involved in corruption scandals, your company shares go downhill and your family makes the front pages for DUI - news I will have the sad duty to
set up tell some journalists and let the public know- then the mighty King might reconsider and giveÃ, the damn contracts to me.

Constructions Company CEO
I think the drawing of a map is in order....
Maybe an ongoing compo. to add to the island...
Ah what the heck Cp you and I can share the building contract.. I sit back and earn cash while you work. I mean of course do the admin while you get your hands dirty ;)
Just kidding Hey MOD that sounds kewl maybe we should draw this virtual paradise!
It could look rather kewl. Especially if we do it in a dimensional way instead of top down. And make it all coneptualized to make it look like when investors plan to build these places and stuff..
That could be kewl. Or maybe everybody designs there own pad on the island.
I like the idea of designing our own pad. we could all draw some building, maybe even make some sprite representing ourselves, and then we could put it on some big Caribbean map.

Army of wemon? When did we get such?
Just out of curiosity... what are these 'wemon' you speak of?
¬

Apparently, the only weapons they have are lemons.
So, I've spoken with the minister of economy who has agreed to buy a packet of bicarbonate.
In case of attack, the worst think that can happen is the juice to reach the eyes. If that happens, every Christopian will have to clean his eyes with bicarbonated water. The simulacres will start today 1800 CET.
I think we lack some structure here.
How about an official webpage, with maps, stats and pretty illustrations?
Oh, no!Ã, The www.christopia.com it is taken by theWorld Trade Christian Association.Ã, :'(
Now what?
Everybody can collaborate... I have made the flag... But I don't want to monopolyse it... Maybe this should be moved to "activities" or something? Or create a new thread? Dunno, I am at your hands!

I think we are not going to be a Kingdom with all those ministers and underground republicans.Ã, ::)

Com is bad, because it means
commercial and we don't need any nor are a company!
How silly of me! Skurwy has a point. As a country we get our .cht!
So what do we have on "Cup island" or whatever it is called? A cup-shaped volcano, a beach, a big white hotel, a little crappy hotel, a military base, a yacht club, a city (full of other stuff), few big houses and maybe a power plant. Also a secret rebel base and my little shack. Is that enough?
Nice avatar you've got there btw. Sorry about the offtopic. :P
Someone fluent with webdesigning and with some extra web space could just whip something up.
We need to come up with a constitution, then start to elect ministers and pass laws. Let there be many nice laws.
Everybody participating must make up an alter ego, complete with a portrait, personal history and political agenda.
I totally dig the idea of the constitution, the fathers of the land and all that. I mean, it can't be totally democratic because it's possible to have ALL of you involved here... but we can make a small group, like Jefferson, Washington... and all that mafia, and set the constitution who people can vote, with elections for the ministeries.

And my thugshack!
Are we allowed to move in multiple personalities?
If not, I'll have to decide between the courthouse and a mansion on the volcano's side just out of town...
Don't forget my Jail, which is basically a big Viking ship with a dragon head. Prisoners are forced to row, to pay back their debt to society....Don't worry though, we have them covered with good insurance...
Forced to row? You could use the remaining waves as a power source to the island. Wave power! And can i whip the prisoners?! I feel that i could really contribute to the society in this way. I am the island thug you know.
Well, Squinky since you have a big viking ship and this IS a tropical island, no doubt you're giving boat rides(or whatever its called) for the tourists. ;D
What tourists?
Aren't they afraid of the big viking ship and hurry home to alert the army to defend their homes against vikings?
I think we all are missing the isalnds hot spot the AGS BAR!!!!! as seen in the - who killed kenny rogers game ;)
Speaking of Vikings...
Hmm, what do you mean by a big viking ship, earl Ishmael?
I, Skurwy of Hordaland and the Styrsman of Ye Blue Hird, am reporting:
We have not less than dozen such drakkars, fully loaded with mead (you haven't drunk any better, I swear), plus an army of about 2500 men-at-arms (including berserkers and Danish mercenaries from Skåne) and we are ready to set sails!!1
AGS Bar? Ok, I'm gonna buy a piece of land, trade the prisoners with Squinky and use them as the manpower to build our own Valhalla, where the party never ends!
I want to remind the people that Grundislav is the Oficial Barista. I will do a trip to Barcelona-Paris this weekend to see the F-1 and the Champion's final (Barcik will be there, mini-mittens?) but after that, I promise to start doing a lot of conceptual about Christopia!
I meant the ship Squinky mentioned. I'm not sure which one of those it was, though. We need a bigger dock...
Ahh yes, and in our Valhalla we can have our thousands of cloned wemon... I'm starting to really like our lifestyle...
Also, I think someone who's not me should design a Christopia website also. It's a great idea! A MMO style chat room/bar thing could be made too with great skill no?
Anyone wants to join us out here in the jungle? We're getting pretty lonely out here. And if you do come this way, please bring us some clean underwear! and rum! and some women! and some men!
I would send you some clean underwear, just becuase I don't want you to stink horridly when you finally attack or come to a meeting with us Imperials, but I'm afraid that doing so would label me a helper of the enemy. Therefore, I suggest that you rebels become nudists, and in doing so eliminate the need for underwear or clothes of any sort. Just make sure you wash up your old clothes in the stream and wear them if you come into town, no one wants to see your shame...

...
Minister of Defense: Farlander. Alynn and Yaksplit will be the army...

Does this then preclude me from being the Minister of Way too much Coffee drinking. And my secondary bid for the Ministry of Smart Assness?
If not I shall have to come up with a rank system, we must have order in this Army.
It has not been mentioned... but what of health care?
Lastly Kinoko for Embassador to Japan.
Oh and my passport
(http://www.yelloweyedstudio.com/images/Alynnpass.png)
Huh, that's funny. I never looked at this thread until now, and I clicked straight on the last page and only scrolled down to the last post, and it just happens to have my name in it.
I'm gonna have to read the whole thing now to see if anyone else has been mentioning me.
*famous!*
EDIT: As a side note, as has been mentioned many times before, Vince has been living in Japan longer than me and yet never seems to get credit for it. I'm hoping to live here awhile longer myself but in any case, he's probably more qualified than I am. Thanks though! If he refuses the position (whatever the fuck it is that we're talking about here, I have no idea whatsoever), I'll happily take it up.
EDIT2: Okay.
I just want to let you all know I'm starting up the official whore house where I will take my rightful place as the Madam.
It is the job I was BORN to do.
So any buxom women who want a job, come see me. There will be flowing wine, dancing girls and good times to be had by all.
Because I'm such a smart woman, I'll also hold an unofficial but influencial position in government. The Japanese Ambassador would be a fine position to this end. Of course, my fellow Government officials will be treated extra nicely when they visit the Tasse Rouge (that's what my House of Low-Morale will be called).
Well now you are muscling in on my pimp business...
I need to go over a spending plan for our weapons...
I need at least 1000 degausser grenades
20-50 particle bombs
500 Adobe Erasers (for close combat)
And at least 5000 slow frame rate enducers
Oh... and I suggest we expand our military power to have an airforce, we only need 2 people, one to fly the cropduster, and the other to drop the particle bombs over the side.
The Navy will consist of a militia with Squinky's Jailboat as the flagship, dubbed Bertha. After all, with most the population as pirates (side note, we need a ninja brigade), this is a more cost effective choice.
That is all for now.
No way, pimping is all underground anf cheap and dirty. My women are gonna be high class, and they're not just whores, they're entertainers. You're catering to a totally different clientel. We're working WITH each other on this! You're keeping the riff raff and weirdos out of my fine establishment!
Actually I was importing them from all over the world, so you never have to leave to get some action from another country, I bring the action to you.
But then again, maybe I should focus on the defense... Much more important, kinda...
Then, I say, for military members, in order to keep morale at a maximum, should get free service for their.... service... After all, if morale is high, then we shall fight at our fullest potential...
Free whore service is worth dying for!
Yeah sounds good to me...
We'll work over the details...

Ã,Â
ManicMatt, you should wear the Blue-Cup Factory uniform (http://www.manga-takarajima.mangafan.net/Cosplay_2/images/mario.jpg). The "M" stands for "Matt".
What have I done?
The Revolution supports Kinoko's Burlesque House. We might or might not have a few visits to that place. ¬¬
Oh, and I like the uniforms. Please, send us that army soon!

Lorena has declared herself the oficial fashion designer. No design can be approved without her "ok".
Which is a pitty because I liked the dresses of the female clones army.
Hmm... This is an island right? I claim the rights to search for oil! And gold! I now own all stocks in "Christopia oil and gold and other stuff you have to search for to find inc. (stuff you have to search for includes uranium, metals hidden treasures, lost socks etc.)". It's strange that noone did this before.
I'll give up thugging and start drilling for oil! I'll soon be rich. Any gold claims and rights to search for stuff must be bought from me.
I am gonna’ get me a big gun. ya see considerin' this is Christopia and all, there's prob’ly a whole bunch' o' wild pixels on this island, I intend ta hunt dem varmints down. ah yes sir alright. so if ya see me, I'm PIXEL HUNTIN' ;D
Excuse me, i think you need my permission to do that. As you have to search for the pixels!
vict0r, I think you need an approval from the goverment before claiming everything around.
I claim the goverment!
EDIT: Useless post... Erm... Yes! Is it suddenly illegal to start new companies? Dictatorship is it? What do you prefer? A brainless thug who beat you up, or a financial genius who make money and contribute to christopias whealth etc. by paying extreme amounts of tax and such?
Democracy with a king.and who? Chris Jones of course.
Hehe funny stuff anyway Victor can dig for his gold why not the only problem is section 5 act 19 underwritten clause 44(q) in the CJ - Island legeslation that no diggin is permitted without an authenticated TFT (the familt treasure) Spade and if you dont have one the only one is located within the vault of the fortress of Christopia gaurded by that huge alien monsters from MORDY so happy go digging.
Any diggin' done without this spade will result in a majour problem regarding the RON zombie virus... that is going around about this time of year ;)
If you want to dig for your lotions and whatnot around my mansion you'll be negotiating with my shotgun, bear that in mind will ya?
Of topic, but... Do you REALLY thing that Kingdom is not compatible with democracy?!? ???
MMM i dunno, i leave the politics to the democrats ;)
Anyway about that shotgun where did you obtain your fire arm license ;)
I still want to know since I'm like the High Commander of His Royal Army can I not hold other positions in government...

2. Why can't it be like mittens, only lasting forever?
[CP is buying land now that the inflation is still low and quickly builds numerous luxurious but environment friendly villas and museums since she lost the big contracts for ministries, ports, bridges and highways...]
As King of Christopia, I must remind you that I have levied a 99% income tax on all businesses on the island.
Then I guess it's OK for offshore businesses and multinationals with *complicated* ownership and offices abroad and Cayman banks accounts and all that staff my accountants and lawyers have tried to explain to me.
[CP shuffles calendar to find a suitable date for an important donation in cash for the kingdom]
CJ, considering that 9 out of 10 Christopians talk about nothing else than rebelion, you don't want to speak too loudly about taxes.
Personally, I don't even see why they're rebelling. Mylord, I suggest we ship the rebels to a deserted island to think about what they've done, and possibly think about what they're rebelling against.

The firearm lisence - as well as the firearm - is a family heirloom. My grandfater found it from somewhere in Alaska while digging for gold. The gun he got from an eskimo whose shrink had told me to get rid of all items commonly concidered deadly. He ran out of shots when warding off sharks at some aquarium. And as the sharks got him after a fierce struggle, his belongings were given to my father who in turn gave some of the stuff to me when I set out ot the world.
Now how's it with the construction of that manor of mine? I might have signed a deal about it with someone, but I'm not too sure about that. So, if not, anyone up for it?
Also I was concidering giving up the position of Head Judge and to start living up in my little place, seeing there is no courthouse either...
As far as the constitution goes, shouldn't we paint a list of commandments on a barn a la Animal Farm?
I suggest we start with:
Point-and-click good, direct-control bad.
Or is that too controversial?
Either way, cp better hurry up and build some barns.
The founding of this nation is getting a bit unfocused. I've taken the liberty to come up with a constitution.
Please sign it and be the fathers (or mothers) of this nation.
~ The Christopia Constitution ~
1. Cristopia is a democracy with a king, and the king is CJ, and the king has no political power.
2. Any person may form a party and run for presidency. The term is two weeks, but the president may be re-elected any number of times.
3. Everybody has the right to vote, except for people mixing exclamation marks with 1s in an excessive manner.
4. Anybody may apply for land in Christopia, and for forming their own province. Those who cannot form a new province will populate existing ones. Every province is incorporated in the federal political system, but may form their own laws as well. A weekly contest will award the best new law.
5. There may be no death penalties, but any number of other interesting punishments are encouraged
6. Arms are allowed to a maximum of ten per adult and five per child, and three for ex-convicts, slaves and people mixing exclamation marks with 1s in an excessive manner. Only the federal police may use nuclear weapons for law enforcement.
7. Alcohol, drugs and beat poetry are restricted to the streets, and only during night-time.
8. All animals on the Island of Christopia must be respected and protected, except for those whose meat is tasty.
9. Every Friday night, all citizens must take part in the celebration of King CJ, and in the fact that he holds no political power. War must not be waged during these celebrations.
10. Every province is responsible for their own armies, and these may not attempt to overthrow the government unless they find it absolutely necessary.
Let's get this signed and start the elections!
Wait, what does our folk music sound like?
That's a later question, and something our folk musicians will deal with.

Whaaaaaaaat??? THAT'S IT! Me and my workers in the blue cup factory are rebelling in the name of animal rights! I imagine the majority of the normal rebellion are meat eaters themselves, so my gang of loyal cup makers will be a seperate rebellion faction.

6. Arms are allowed to a maximum of ten per adult and five per child, and three for ex-convicts, slaves and people mixing exclamation marks with 1s in an excessive manner.
I think it should be changed to "Firearms...."
As for the max number of arms, it should be 2. Less is ok, more isn't. Exept for octopuses and stuff but they have tentacles anyway.
I refuse to form a party, but i do want my own land to drill for oil. If its my land, i have all rights to drill for oil etc. right? And to shoot whoever tries to take my oil and treasures? Only in the leg of course. If so, i apply to recieve the "oily valley". The name sounds appealing to me.

Don't worry, my secret police have infiltrated these rebellious groups, and will see to it that any rebellion is crushed before it can even begin.
I will sign your constitution, so long as a First Amendment can be created shortly afterwards, stating that the King's Decision is final on all matters, and any objectors can be sent to Australia.

I've mostly lurked around this thread and I must say it's a great idea having an AGS country, island, whatever. Someone should also update the AGS dictionary and Wikipedia(I'll probably update Wiki) due to popularity of this thread. So I also shall sign Andails petition:

EDIT: I've updated wiki, see here:

I, aswell, sign the constitution.
I'd need a proper map of the island to draw down the borders accurately... But at any rate, I'll be claiming land as my province as follows: From the coast to the slope of the volcano, enclosing the capital city, about a round area.
I will be placing the province under government control, it being the capital province or such. The state army will serve as the military force for the province aswell. I am also setting a couple of ordinances concerning the land usage, as follows:
My mansion will be on the slope of the mountain, and my tea farms will populate the area down the slope. The areas left behind my private lands and the capital city, as well as the lands between the city and the coast (in case the city is not to be located just by the coast) will be left untouched as for now, but the government may naturally zone this land for state or private use. But sparingly, if you would.
And I'm still not confident about my mansions construction details ¬¬
If you can find us! See what he's doing? He's using his power to screw you all. Our connection from the city has brought us a crate of aged rum, so we're doing pretty well over here. :=

Anytime, mate. I'm just trying to make a living. ::)
Howcome I'm not in the wiki? The rebels can barely live without some of my supplies and not to mention the fact I secretly supply porn, red cups, firearms, software and everything else you might want. And don't forget I sell the coolest souveniers on the island.
Why aren't i in the wiki? I'm the sjeik on the island! I provide fuel and wealth to everyone!
And me! I may be rebelling but I didn't say I'd stopped making blue cups! My workforce is in an uproar now over this! My men maybe loyal but there is only so much they can take before they will go on strike, thus stopping production of all blue cups! If this occurs people will have no cups left to drink grog from, and resort to the black market for red cups!
Besides, being the animal lovers that we are, we are so peaceful that we don't even rebel much. We just moan and hold picket signs up from time to time.
People around here have WAY too much free time. :P
I lost my job, so yeah. :P
EDIT: In the real world, not in Christopia

Ow, someobody's buying our $1.5 mil island..! (the site says "Under contract", whatever that means)
Is that one of us? ¬¬

Almost related to this, I got the impression that adding your own page to the wiki is concidered a bit not-to-do a thing by atleast some of the veteran members, wiki actives, etc. But that naturally has nothing to do with the list on the Christopia page.
I don't mean to add yourself to wiki, just your Christopia's occupation(if you feel that it's important) to it. But if you want to add a link for someone to then write about you, that's your own choice.

A blue cup worker? Ã, :o How dare you! I'm THE blue cup manager! I OWN the blue cups!
Well at first I figured sure, it's the important folk, until I saw the creepy weirdo that lives in a mansion mentioned..
But he's RICH! And money usually equals influence. ;) Hey, if youÃ, really feel offended, ust add yourself to the map.
I will not add myself! That would be pure ego!
When you wake up, in the middle of the night hankering for a grog, and all your cups have melted away, don't expect to be able to get any more MWAHAHAHAHA!!
That does it! I'm switching over to the communists. They have better contract terms and their RED cups are for FREE! MUAHAHAHA,...HAHA,..HA!
Shouldnt we say that the bluecup volcano is indeed the true eights wonder of the world?

No. It's a volcano. Those are pretty common in some parts of the world you know.
Unless the volcano is shaped like a blue mug.
(Hmmm, my company could print blue mug volcano merchandise!)

So, Matt, could you make me about 60 T-shirts? A dozen of each:
"Christopia RULES"
"I (http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/images/smilies/heart.gif) King Chris"
"My friend went to Christopia and all I got was this STINKY T-shirt"
"REBEL SCUM"
"I fight an army of hot chicks EVERYDAY!"

My dad prints shirts for a living.
Haddas, how much would a t-shirt saying "AGS is my blue cup of tea" with the cup on it cost? Or one that says, "Omg, I've got Chris in my cup O_O"?
There's just too many variables involved to say off-hand. Size of text, colours, type of shirt, density of materials, brand of shirt, etc.
roughly? max - min? just something to give me an idea. lessay, normal visible letters in black.
http://www.stencilrevolution.com/tutorials/
Just do it.
For photos / non-silk screen (single colour), I paid about 5-7 euros for prints (A4).
Sure thing, I'll just stick my white t-shirt in my printer and get it back with awesome text on it.
Or even easier, purchase transfer paper (http://www.printonit.com/category_s/51.htm).
Silk-screen t-shirt colors are the most durable though, (photo) transfers usually crack (even the professional type I paid for).
The Court sentences biotheplop or whatwasit and Tuomas into prison for 2 hours for rude talking of offtopic in the middle of the prepration of the constitution. (More or less.)
I repent, I find this order justified and am in favor of it. I see it as a positive sign that the court of law takes actions against hard boiled merchantilism and capitalistic manouvers. I salute you judge and your decisions.
Take this letter from my pidgeon as a sign of good will, and know that I am not angry that I am here behind the bars.
Well, to be honest we don't have a prison to put you in since somebody burnt it... Might've been Gord, but I don't remember too well.
Ummm hello? He can row my ship?
Oh, ofcource. Sorry. I withdraw my last statement.
H'ar h'ar h'ar h'ar, ye be swabbin' them decks and rowin' them ships all ewening, lassie. ;)
:o I can't believe in which direction things are going here:
An official whore house with dancing girls? An army of cloned half-naked women?
WHAT HAPPENED TO SEXUAL EQUALITY?!? >:( ???
I demand the creation of the Department of Sexual Equality and the appointment of a proper minister to be the head of this department (I'd like to nominate myself for that position ;)).
The minister's responsibility should be to ensure equal rights and living conditions for both men and women and everthing in-between. The first steps of this new department should be to ensure that the official whore house has dancing boys as well (male employees in general offering the same services the female ones offer) and that half of the clone army consists of half-naked handsome men!
Until this outrageous injustice is rightened, I'm not signing the constitution! I'm even considering to join the rebellion (if they can ensure me that they'll help me fight for sexual equality ... and dance for me ... in their underwear. Since I'm all about sexual equality, I'd dance for them as well of course...) or to start my own!
I'll dance to you if you'll dance to me ;)
Possibly people forgot the other sex as as important when almost everyone talking here is a man, or at least closer to a man than a woman. It's actually rather natural for the majority to supress the minority, since as long as they are a minority, they'll have no saying in anything because the majority is always on the majority's side.
But seriously, you want to find a cell to copy lots of *handsome, etc* men from from this geek community? like looking for a needle in a haystack. (nobody should take this personally).
Come on, you all know I'm the hottest guy around. ::)
And I do support Venus, she has some good ideas.
VIVA EL VENUS!

VIVA EL VENUS!
Indeed! She has some good points... Grab her skincells too! We need to clone her and create dumber, less "Sexual Equality" centered version! And clone that one for our army of women!
I can sing I can dance, after all miss this is france...
No wait that's from a movie...
Yes Venus you can have all those things... but they are on the seedier side of the island, where they just found the odd hatch buried in the dirt... Besides, it was a female that wanted the brothel to begin with...
Also I propose a law that nothing can be bought by anyone without first sending the reciever to talk to a few other people, possible to gain small items and clues that must be used to fashion some sort of trade item, which can then be used to trade for whatever the particular piece of merchandise might be.

Do I look like a geek to you?
(Don't answer that)
..someone should make that island map talked about so long ago.... I'm too lazy...
I'd make you a map... or die trying.
MANIC MUTT !!!
What are you doing in my room!!!!
Krysis is going to make us a map! Sweet!
Pm me for my secret lab location Mr Krysis. ;) After all its the 8th wonder of the world!
Sooo... after all this is said and done, and we finally have everything in place, let's make a community game based off the whole area and we'll call it

I was stealing all your AGS stuff, before realising mine is better and put it back. (Nah, only kidding!)
What made you say that anyway? Do you have the same curtains?
A MOVIE?? Maybe we should wait until the rebels win/lose the war and then we'll have something to put in the film.

Imagine that! A world full of AGS-ers send you on pointless quests! Hunting for items, solving riddles! WOW!
Way cool! Could this work like a mmog? Like habbo hotel or something?

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the term "Net dream" kind of ickey?
In any case, this does sound interesting. and vict0r, for us it would be more like a HOBO hotel ;D
Homo hotel? I know there are few women here, but i'm not that desperate!

Of course St. Ickey was the greatest of them ALL!!
I think we need to errect a statue on the island of him.
All jokes aside though, that BYOND engine looks promising, if, of course, someone who isn't as lazy as me attempted to build an AGS hotel thing. (I stopped trying when I couldn't make the map appear anything but black :'()
