Elegarth

You should tell them, lol

It doesn't necessarily does it either. As I say, whatever you guys decide. If someone wants to formalize a proposal, you can put it to vote. The people who thinks this is a good idea do so cuz they see twp inclined to more in-game than forum activity. In the end, this is the people's choice.

Yes, they could organize their staff including assistants/deputies/etc

Simple straightforward idea. The Delegate is the Executive Head of Government. The Guardians are the protective body of the Community in-game and continue performing their existing guardianship duties. The Deputy Advocates are written off, and we simply move to a Ministers only system, where the delegate names Ministers for the different executive arms: army, diplo, internal affairs, NS issue, etc. The Advocate remains as the head of The Voice, which takes the form of a legislative regional assembly, and perhaps even a judiciary, should we need it. The system is simple... The advocate is elected by the voice and creates rules and laws for the in-forum community, while the delegate still rules and handles any in-game matters based on Max's laws.

I have an idea of a working structure like that... I'll post tomorrow from pc.

I love diplomacy. Super intense if the people playing are really into it. Easy to get worked up. I like Munchkin too, and the many flavors of it there are just making endlessly fun Agreed. I don't consider any of the RPGs I play boardgames, as we (my different groups) never played it tactically (no grid, no minis, just the dices to portray positions and only in the rare scenario when someone asked cuz they had a crazy idea). My first character was named Elegarth (and you may guess how significant it was to me, that I use its name as my nickname now). Yes, and then that's why you need the expansions to add it more... and even there, it can start to get old if you play it too often

That is what URA did, remember? ANd it failed horribly even before his DEN madness I like this idea tbh

My list: Risk Risk: Godstorm Risk: 2210 Risk: Lord of the Rings Dungeons and Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of Ashardalom Discworld Board Game The Settlers of Catan Eldritch Horror EldritcH Horror: forgot the name of the expansion The Pillars of the Earth The Pillars of the Earth Expansion Quatro Arkham Horror Betrayal at the House of the Hill Lego's Minotaurus Uno and Uno Dare Scrabble and Scrabble Dash Uno Stacko Clue Lord of the Rings Boardgame Battlestar Galactica Boardgame Cards Against Humanity with 4 expansions Those are the ones I remember right now haha

Nice. Type a paragraph about it and I'll include it.

FOr me: BOARD GAMES. I own about 25 of them, with Risk being just the simplest oldest most common one I have. Simple: there are two decks of cards, Black Ones that have "QUESTIONS" and white ones that have "ANSWERS". As it is usually played, the players get a hand of white hands, and then a black question card is drawn and you - the player - need to select your answer to it, trying to be AS AWFUL AND HORRIBLE a person as possible. The reason that I use "questions" and "answers" in quotes, is because many of them are just incomplete sentences or single words. So you have a real example here: In it, the white cards take the space of the Blank. Then, whatever is the most awful/funny/terrible one wins and you go on. On who win and how a winner is selected, the game itself has several options. I play it so that the best answer is voted.

Ok. BBB put together a text, I want to send a TG as incoming delegate by tomorrow, and I can include anything from the contest or what else. Malv, Drach, anything else we want to send out? Write it down and I'll gather it all in a single tg

True, finding the balance of each region is the thing. We could easily send one every couple days without issues during normal times, events allow us for more. But balance is the key.

Regional TGs are counterproductive. The more you sent, the more likely people is to block them. If a TG is going to be sent, it would be good for it to include several topics, instead of sending 3 or 4

Well, I'm not opposing that idea either. If the people would like that, something that could be easily consulted, I'd be able to work it out too. I just don't feel imposing it will benefit anyone, and hence wouldn't do it.

We should extend the deadline, now that the Zombie Event is over, and promote it a bit more in the RMB.

I think there is a lot of merit in everyone's answers. Much of TP's activity started with RPing and it worked. THen they tried new things and it worked.And it continues to try new things and it works. In TWP, we have had in the last year ups and downs in activity, with usually chaos and issues bringing activity and calm and stability bringing inactivity. That of course is a normal thing. We need to find a balance and make it work. The newspaper, the diplo, all seems to lack push. I guess I could give it to them as Delegate once I take over Medio, but is not my job, is the Advocate's job and I know BBB has been trying. He consults me, and Medio, and we try to offer advise. But if I get more involved, it could seem disrespectful towards BBB since I do not hold a position in the Voice. I'd like to see TWP regain the activity it had during the time me and Llamas used to argue DAILY, without any two people having to antagonize like that again. I know for a fact that is also what URA wanted before going bat-shit stupid. He did it the wrong way. I'd like to try to do it the right way. And within the existing off-site government, by candidating myself as advocate once BBB's turn is over. I'd also like to help BBB further if he accepts it, but within the organization. Not from outside. But that is something for me and him to discuss privately. I've been sort of LOAish till today, End of October is a hard month at work. I'm back now. Let's get this ball rolling? Do I hear SOLUTIONS?

If we want the delegate to do more that can happen. I intended to run for advocate next election, once I transition into the delegacy. My transition has indeed been slow because I had to restart from zero... is not an easy fit tbh.

Correct winn

And TP seems to have won, they did a great job including thr RPing part of it tbh. We also did great and need to continue doing a great job to prevent our numbers from falling

Excellent idea Malv!

I heard about the military OP

I loved bulbasaur, was my favorite starting pokemon!

There is no FA ministry, btw, there is an FA DA

I'm sending a mass tg today, btw, will include a small mention to you all, but feel free to have this TG ready for next week BBB

Deputy Advocate
