6. I'm still loyal to Kleeb as far as Lounge dictators go
Hopefully he's having too much fun in college to fulfill his duties. :D

8. An utter total mess?
Oh wait, that's not a form of government.

Anarchy, sometimes.
Oligarchy, sometimes. It shifts and changes. I have the bad fortune of being one of the oligarchy - occassionally. Now and then. It's not much fun..

Sometimes it's a dictatorship. Just ask progmom or sundoggle. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. I don't think they actually like the job.....

9. Utter total? Ah, it's a redundancy, then.
:D

Seriously though, I think there's too much focus on inane drama--people claim the moral high ground but at the same time can't resist backhanded snarkery... it's a scary environment for someone who likes silliness.

15. 'We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune
We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week..."

"Yes."

"...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting..."

"Yes, I see."

"...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs..."

"Be quiet!"

"...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major —"

"Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!"

"'Order,' eh! 'Oo does 'e think 'e is?"

"I am your king!"

"Well, I didn't vote for you!"

16. It's a "Moderator-ocracy". You know, kind of like a police state.
