Ken: The ACP has been a dictatorship since Oagalthorp, to Rap, to Shab, to Boomer, to Saint, Ias, and Bob etc. Why is everyone acting like they just realized it? ACP was never a fully democratic army honestly. And since when do you have no voice? If you have any PROBLEMS COME TALK TO ME. The only reason I have NoPC is to talk to you all and to help with your problems. If you haven’t been complaining about how ACP hasn’t been democratic then you should have complained earlier because ACP has been like this for generations.
The leaders of an army are the people that are picked who are believed to be qualified enough and trusted enough to keep the army
going. However the main leaders must be comfortable with their 2ics and 3ics and other people who are in power in the army. Otherwise, the leaders don’t work together and the army doesn’t run smoothly. Usually it leads to inner-army fights and will eventually lead to problems.
That is why it is the leaders’ right to pick who they want as 2ic and 3ic when they come to power, they have the right to demote everyone who was previously 2ic or 3ic with the leader[s] before them. Its how to make the army run the smoothest.
As some of you may know, Buck was removed from the position of President last night after agreement between Ken and Flipper. Emperer Josh started to complain and chat quickly turned into three sides: one wanting buck as pres, one agreeing it was up to Ken, and one who didn’t want him as Pres. Since Flipper wasn’t on due to the lateness of this event, Ken was along and was forced to retract the statement and give Buck back the position.
This isn’t right, we shouldn’t be fight our own army leaders. They have to work with people like the President, the 2ics, and the 3ics. If they don’t get along with them, if they don’t trust them with power, they have every right to remove them.
There is no middle group. Armies are a military dictatorship, they work the best that way. Governments are things used to occupy time. Our true purpose is just to fight other armies.
The true purpose of the senate is an idea pool, you guys generate ideas, discuss them, vote on them, and then the leaders take those ideas and use them to improve the army. Realistically, it isn’t an actual senate because this isn’t a democracy. I know we have the DRACP as our nation’s name, but that was from Oagal, plus it sounds cool.
Respect the leaders’ wishes, they usually know best. Its their job to look past favoritism and friendships and pick the best person for the job. Therefore I’d like to ask that both Kenneth and Flipper have time to talk about President, so they can make a decision representing what they truly want, not what a few loud speakers like emp want, especially if these people have been starting fights and trying to split ACP daily on chat.

PS: I’d like to talk about the voting system that Buck has proposed for all you people screaming “democracy.”
Buck has proposed to give a list of people and vote 10 of them. But what about the lower ranks? How are they represented fairly? Lower ranks know less people and less people know them compared to the higher ranks. How can they possibly get more votes than the upper ranks to get into the senate?
The older way, the more democratic way, is splitting the army into 3 or 4 sections and having votes for a smaller number of people in each section, lets say 4 from each group. That means that the ranks are more fairly represented. Which way would you guys like to have? The one thats unfair to lower ranks or the one thats the best chance of giving a fair representation to all?
