Eli Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 here you go let's see what wins, please comment with your vote, it will be interesting to hear everyone's opinions.
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Democracy. The others can't offer hope for a sustainable TWP future. Democracy is only a weak sham if it is made that way, see my post here: Link.
punkdaddy Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'd love to try a monarchy in a feeder. That would be quasi-new. Morpheus 1
rolheath Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 democracy maybe only an ideal but one i believe in
Winnipeg Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Democracy - Only because any of the other choices are less likely to have active user bases...Under Monarchy (Realistically a Dictatorship by another name) leaves all the decision making to the person at the top, and will see more stagnation in the end.
Tweedy Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Democracy. With the proviso that it is an attainment arrangement with status and goals to reach within specified government departments. Obviously to start with, members will be needed to staff these various areas before elections.
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 How long will this vote be open for? The results look quite conclusive.
God-Emperor Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Probably, but I don't think a week is too much time.
Darkesia Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 8 people voted. Not a very representative sample. Also, I need to point out that 8 people, two of whom are largely inactive in the wider NSverse, is not a large enough group to staff a decent government.
Libetarian Republics Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Initially, democracy. Democracy can only work if it is done properly. The only purpose of a democracy in gameplay is to get more users involved with the politics of a feeder/sinker. What makes democracy INTERESTING and WORKABLE in the LONG-term future is pretty much corrupt politics
Eli Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 it was a poll for information purposes only, if you want to start a movement start it, be prepared to have conflict, conflict generates activity, not democracy people hate democracy they're lazy
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Democracy also generates conflict, but within the system.
Darkesia Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 If you want democracy, you must be prepared to first fight to have it. Then, after the conflict has drawn people, you must build a sustainable system with enough internal conflict to keep interest without shattering TWP again. Both worthy goals. Both difficult goals. What you need to understand is that YOU must do this. Talking about it while doing nothing is easy. And don't expect the old timers to do the work. We did that before, when our RL left us time for it. It's someone else's turn.
Tweedy Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 It would be good to have some new bloods which have stamina. Too-often in the past the ideas and rhetoric has been laudable and follow-worthy only to fall-down on the stamina part. That's the only way we're going to survive.....I know my opinion carries little weight as I'm not in NS, but I'm specifically talking about the off-site forum. I'm sure Winni would be delighted to know that somebody new wants to take-up the challenge put some life into the forum. Graphics is ok and is worth a thousand words, but what we desperately need now is 1000 words!
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I will endeavour to do what is needed. I believe it is necessary to take some of this discussion to the RMB (sorry Tweedy) to get the average TWP member involved in the discussion and to hopefully drum up some members for the forums. Does anyone object to doing this?
Feux Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 * Pokes head in for the first time in a TWP thread. * Looks at his region. * Goes with Monarchy!
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Chairman Milo hath spoken. *Handel's Hallelujah Chorus begins playing over the TWP sound system* __________________ I'll start a debate on this topic on the RMB when the RMB activity is at it's next high point.
The Great Nation Luporius Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Democracy! (even though I'm a psychotic dictator!)
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Fair enough. A democratic dictator, perhaps?
