Fratellnoir Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Has there been a devastating plague that has affected TWP? Or is it that you've moved to the new forum without telling everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkesia Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's a shame you missed the months longdiscussion of the move. However, the fact that you did miss it means the move was the correct course of action. Welcome to the new TWP forum. ******************* bleh. I dislike my new avatar. Searching for a different one.

Big-G of Neandertron Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I just appreciate that you guys made a new forum just when I turned up so I wouldn't be out of the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's a good thing you showed up, we were getting tired of waiting for you to turn up so Winni could build this new home for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratellnoir Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 So, all the institutions, all the government departments etc etc are they set to be migrated here or is it start from scratch time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkesia Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What government departments? None of that stuff was being used. Anything needed by the current government, such as it is, can now be created without having to dig through layers and layers of old, unused topics and forums.

Winnipeg Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm still in the process of making the old forums read-only, so once I've finished that, I'll add a link to the archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What government departments? None of that stuff was being used..... Except the Town Hall! Although not strictly Government, His Worship The Mayor made a serious attempt to enliven the Town Hall of TWP, only to succumb to the realization that His Worship The Mayor was banging his head against a brick-wall!

Fratellnoir Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 So, Whither The West Pacific now? Is there a direction, a foreign policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 We are maturing in many ways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heronlord Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hooray i am personally glad to see you guys make a new forum the old one was a pain for me to dig through LAz just went through this and is still pretty shiney as well. you guys should start a constitutional convention debate, and maybe an ambassador thread or something... horraay again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-G of Neandertron Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hahaha yeah, constitutional convention's are always a barrel of laughs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heronlord Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 right? plenty to amuse yourselves with, and you can throw in funny treaties too. ho boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkdaddy Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It's kinda cool to start from scratch. The old system didn't lend itself to activity really. But, it's not technically "old" unless Yy4u wishes to rule apart from it. He may, but at least the forum offers us a fresh start to try some new things.

Fratellnoir Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 So, is there a planned structure or are we relying on organic evolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Dunno. I'd guess maybe a little of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAO Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Since Yy is the man of the hour (as delegate), I think our form of structure depends on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yy4u Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Interesting.... One of the foremost questions for me would be: Does TWP need/want a government? Should we ressurect a constitution of sorts? What direction do we wish to go? Obviously more natives are essential in this process..... the few may not speak for all(most) IMHO I will post something in the WFE as suggested by Benjamin Mark as potential candy for the forums.... The role of all, especially delegate can be defined here for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratellnoir Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 We could always sketch a rough outline and fill in the details as demand/usage grows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heronlord Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 simple is often better. simple constitution, add wierd fun laws later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'd say have a basic framework charter/constitution, with an open Regional Assembly for those that want to legislate. And keep the forum structure simple with only 3 or 4 catagories, and 2 - 4 root forums each. And we need a Town Hall for His Worship The Mayor.

Bhang Bhang Duc Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hahaha yeah, constitutional convention's are always a barrel of laughs... How many of them have we been through Big-G? Three? Four? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkesia Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think, if we are going to suffer another constitutional convention there should be a requirement that the thing must be completely tongue in cheek. At least that way it will be something people will be more inclined to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratellnoir Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 It could be done seriously as long as the public presentation is concise - a simple top level document, with links to more detailed supporting documents would be easily digestible Additionally if any of the basic "rules" needed to be changed a modular approach would mean that only that rule would need to be amended, and not a complete re-write. Plus if you already have the previous constitutions you already have a reference point to start from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
