punkdaddy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Winni - is there any way possible to bring the old Merit voting where you could see where people were voting in real time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'd have to build it from the ground up...you might recall it never worked in the last version of the site...time is not something I've had alot of as of late. I've been busy learning Coldfusion for work since the websites there that I have to support are all Coldfusion (for the record, not my choice! I'd switch them all to PHP in a heartbeat if I could). I'll see what I can do but no promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkdaddy Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks, man. Thought that was really cool. I'm no code monkey, but if I can help in any way I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestarzt Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I miss the Merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I never got into the Merit myself, though others asked me to at times. But my recollection seems to mostly consist NPO and ADN players playing off each other in the Merit. I didn't want to be a part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestarzt Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Mmm. I would be interested in getting involved in it if it was ever resurrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my recollection seems to mostly consist NPO and ADN players playing off each other in the Merit. I didn't want to be a part of that. That was later...The Meritocracy pre-dated Invader/Defender politics... But it did devolve to NPO vs ADN... The region was definitely more RP oriented...players role played as members of the government for their respective countries rather than as a single citizen of a region like you see in most Invader/Defender game play. Made for a different sort of game play...we did have our own foray into Defending/Invading...we went to war with Atlantic in 2003... Anyway, I highly doubt it will ever get resurrected.

punkdaddy Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've been trying to resurrect it for a few years. Not likely to happen. Never say never, but well...never...hehehe. But without the Merit something is missing from NS, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestarzt Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 You could always invite new blood whilst keeping the old concept. I agree though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 yeah then the nut job Libertarians showed up, now speaking as one usually recognized as a libertarian that probably sounds unusual. The I literally detested ACC and OC, both in game and out. They were complete and total idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I once gave a student a Merit for accusing me of being a racist. I asked him why he thought I was a racist, and he replied, "because sir, you hate the human race!". Well deserving of a Merit on the Eddie (Tweedy) scale of witty remarks.

Tweedy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Winni - is there any way possible to bring the old Merit voting where you could see where people were voting in real time? Hey! I thought we believed in 'democracy' in TWP - voting should be secret! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 lol, the Merit system had the option of just showing how many votes each option had or it could list the voting users as they voted. It also could keep the results secret until the vote had concluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I remember we had something similar in 2007 here before these few board upgrades did we not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkdaddy Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Eli - I seem to recall you voting for ACC in the first election for Consul in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hardly the first Consul Election...Early 2003 I think for that... 2002 was the era of the Isles and we hadn't really adopted the Roman naming theme yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkdaddy Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sorry "first" was a misnomer. That election saw a tie and we had a runoff where in the end Jasque changed his vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
