There are 4 main elements in this world: air, fire, water, and earth.
There are also 4 main types of power in this world: mental, physical, moral, and political.
What are these powers? Positions and gifts people have. In Gangsta Nation, we apply to all of them.
Physical Power - The strength to attack another physically. On Furcadia, we use pixel guns to resemble physical strength.
Mental Power - The intelligence one has to solve problems. In Gangsta Nation, mental power is used to solve issues and use techniques against those with physical power.
Political Power - The reign over everyone and power to control. In Gangsta Nation, the owners have absolute political power.
Moral Power - Doing the right thing because you know that it is right; the difference between right and wrong. In Gangsta Nation, those who do the right thing, follow the rules, report rule breakers, etc. have moral power.
All of these powers create a cycle in life, kind of like rock paper scissors.
Physical < Mental < Political < Moral
Everyone with a different give has something to give to society in real life. People with physical power can do physical jobs: policemen, firefighters, garbage men, box movers, etc. People with mental power can become scientists, teachers, lawyers, and doctors. Clearly, people with mental power make more money.
The other two main powers are political and moral. Politicians set up the government and take in ideas from the people. However, if they become corrupt their reputation goes down. This is where people with moral power would go in. They know they right thing to do and when to do it. They are highly respected people.
All of these individuals have their own traits, which they contribute to society, and let the cycle flow, but what happens when the cycle is destroyed?
People with political power become corrupt. Who is going to stop them? The answer is no body. Moral people are on the bottom. They have no power. Suggestions are useless for those with mental power because they cannot persuade the political powered people enough. Their decision is final, and if that isn't what the people want, then oh well. Physical people are respected for having power in an unorganized society. They have power because they can overpower people on a certain condition: using the environment as an advantage. Sovereignty overpowers all of this, and the cycle is destroyed. The community is ruined, and the society cannot function correctly.
The new cycle is:
Moral & Mental < Physical < Political
In Gangsta Nation, this cycle has been destroyed. Physical Power has risen to one of the highest powers. Common on duty cops have an excellent reputation for enforcing rules. Mental Power is only good for problem solving because shooting techniques get you no where. However, ideas and suggestions are rarely taken, so it goes lower. Moral power goes down completely. There is no way to prove people are doing the right thing. Political Power rises to the complete top. Owners have complete power over the dream and their decision is final. What if their decisions are bad? The society is ruined.
What would happen to the 4 elements if the cycle was ruined?
Air & Fire < Earth < Water
Darling, I'm not building the next ark. Fix your damn mistakes.

Wow, I could never put that in any better way.
It's so true, GN is symbolic to the real world, as you expressed.
Humanity is getting more corrupted each day.
So yes, FIX YOUR DAMN MISTAKES.

You don't know what the discussion was even about.
Every staff member was mentioned.
It wasn't like,
"OMGZ FIRE ______, _________ and __________ BECAUSE THEY FAIL"
Plus, I don't even have the power to fire anyone.

Yes; the decision to release you came after a lengthy discussion with Murukaii on the status of each staff member. Being that she was the veteran of the staff (excluding Laneh and the owners), I utilized her knowledge to ordain who still had a position, and whether or not they should keep it. Megadeth was not the only one released, as a few others were, as well. No personal feelings about her went into the decision. It was purely business, and done for the interest of the GN staff.
Corruption in the dream will cease to exist. While Raz has done an excellent job of maintaining the dream, there have been many instances where his trust has been abused, or something has happened in which power was abused. By having a more direct role with the dream, I hope to help Defi and Raz counter it, and balance things out. I am a fair person, highly tolerant, and open to opinions.
Just remember not to always lay the blame solely on the owners. As Dini said, everyone plays an important part in the cycle. Be tolerant, be willing to go along with executive decisions, and do not rebel and create inner strife.
