We need gold to start the party. I am donating 5 gold.
Do I hear any other donations ???

I give 5 too.

I will when I pay off my 100g of debts

While I'm interested in supporting the principles behind A.I.M., I'm of the opinion that it isn't a good idea to funnel people into an A.I.M. Political Party, as it will draw members out of those Political Parties who support the A.I.M. concept. Just as A.I.M. is a metagame construct taking place in this forum, I'm of the opinion that the individual country chapters should also be metagame constructs -- as much as I hate the metagame construct.

Hi Lysander!
that went over my head. lol
i understand what meta means and i understand what construct means, but i need an explanation or an example of a "metagame construct".

Holy crap, I actually understood that. Well do you think that there won't be any division within the parties due to proAIM tendencies or that there are proAIM parties active already?

Im still the opinion we should found A.I.M. parties in ALL nations. The party presidents are voted by the members as usual BUT they work together as an international gremium and vote for penalties or supports for single nations INDEPENDENT OF THEIR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. Thats the only way to fight nationalism and imperialistic tendencies i think.
By the way i have 10 gold and need 30 more to found the A.I.M. of eUSA.
Greetings Ulysses

There are plenty of 6th Parties that are ProAIM. The Top 5 Parties, in order to get as big as they do, have no consistent political philosophy. All you need to do is determine which Political Parties are Anti-imperialistic.

Of the top of my head you have:

Socialist Freedom Party
Libertarian Party

There was a US Freedom Fighters, but they disappeared either through a name change or a PTO.
You can also look at the World Anarchist Federation and see if they qualify.

The "metagame" is everything that doesn't take place in game. A metagame construct is something, like A.I.M., that is created outside of the game. As you can figure, metagame activities take place on Forums, IRC, and GDocs. This takes away control of these activities away from the Admin and places it in the hands of those people who created these constructs (e.g. IRC Channel Operators, Forum Administrators and GDoc Owners).

AHHHHHHH...
Yes. That is EXACTLY what A.I.M. is intended to be
And that in my humble opinion is exactly what is needed to level the playing field.

That is what I hope we will do. Just as in RL, somehow we have to take care of the repressed and unjustly conquered.
