About the GM thing, since we're getting confused about the exact definition of GM why don't we make a new Job? Something like a Rule Guardian or Referee?
That's literally what a GM is--we don't need nice names for it, we just need someone to do it. Is everyone okay with Badpiggy, as long as he does not participate in-character as long as he is GM, or should I take his place?
I could withdraw my faction and be a neutral party.
I support this; if not, I am prepared to do the same thing if needed. But we have to have a GM, the last roleplay was an absolute fiasco because there was none.
That's what a GM is. I quote from Wikipedia:
"A gamemaster (GM; also known as game master, game manager, game moderator or referee) is a person who acts as an organizer, officiant for questions regarding rules, arbitrator, and moderator for a multiplayer role-playing game.[1][2] They are more common in co-operative games in which players work together than in competitive games in which players oppose each other. The act performed by a gamemaster is sometimes referred to as "Gamemastering" or simply "GM–ing".
The role of a gamemaster in a traditional table-top role-playing game (pencil-and-paper role-playing game) is to weave the other participants' player-character stories together, control the non-player aspects of the game, create environments in which the players can interact, and solve any player disputes. The basic role of the gamemaster is the same in almost all traditional role-playing games, although differing rule sets make the specific duties of the gamemaster unique to that system.
The role of a gamemaster in an online game is to enforce the game's rules and provide general customer service. Also, unlike gamemasters in traditional role-playing games, gamemasters for online games in some cases are paid employees."
Can we stop arguing, now?

To a certain extent, I agree. The reason the GM position exists was because I was doing a terrible job.
I'm here if the arguement can't be resolved by normal means. No one has abo###e power: not me, or the GM.
the literal definition of GM is someone who has absolute power over the roleplay, to make the final ruling on enforcing rules. If you don't have someone like that, you don't have a GM. And if one of us can ignore the limits set on our number of planets, we all can--by Tuvok's logic, I am now stronger than everyone else in the entire roleplay combined, because I don't have to intentionally leave 99.9% of my territory out of the story anymore because I just don't feel like sticking to six. If we are this unconcerned about the only rules in this roleplay, why are we even here?
No, I never said that, I brought in old planets, your 2,000+ unused planets were never used except for your backstory which is fine with me. My planets have always been used since they were created.

Alright. Let us calm down. First, we need a list of all roleplayers, those that want to apply to be GM, and have a proper election. Then, a poll about how many planets we can start, and if we carry over or not.

I'm applying for GM.
We just all called you on cheating, and the majority voted me in, so I'm in.

Guys, I promise to be a good GM if when I am elected. With leadership skills I'll try to be a firm yet bendable GM if and when the situation calls for it, I will protect our rules and listen to your every complaint.
