Dropping the RP council
« on: March 26, 2007, 12:23:22 PM »
All this democracy and voting crap has been a lag on the RP and I have been very disappointed by many of the issues and how they were solved. This RP council seems to have no power because nobody really bothers to cast votes and such because of the amount of time it takes to do anything. I'm quite tired of all this bullshit and I call for a vote for the RP Council to dismantle itself and vote in two strong Moderators who know what the they're doing. Anyone have any comments?

I second this motion!  While there has been some success (expansion of the Resource System for example), it has done nothing that could have simply been done in the OOC Forum.

It also doesnt help that the idea man behind the RP Council, Acle, has been quite inactive since its birth (I remember him saying something about exams but, that was how long ago?).

As for "two strong moderators" well, I hope they are two active and objective moderators that become chosen.

As unhappy as I am to say this, I, too, think that the Council isn't doing much worthwhile... all these questions could be asked in OOC because the Council has no power to enforce its decisions.

I liked the voting on colonies, for reasons that are blindingly obvious, but I don't really have an opinion as yet.

What Oz and Bustos said, because I'm too lazy and tired to think right now.

Brilliant idea, based on the assumption that both Moderators will be neutral in their decisions and are active role play members.

Which can still be done in the OOC Thread.

This should still be done. It's already been used to settle a dispute between Varkour and Mercantalist States, it's been proven useful.

For objective moderators, I believe the last act of the RP Council before it's dissolution would be to campaign several moderators and put it up for a vote. We should test the forums up and coming Condorcet voting method on this  ;)

DOWN WITH DEMOCRACY.

I also think that the moderators should be "right-wing", "moderate", and "left-wing". That way we don't get all communists or all fascists or anything.

That would be preferable. Will the RP Council decide if there are three moderators and who they should be? Or will it be done OOC?

Mind you, at the rate things are going right now the proposal won't even make it to a vote  :(

EDIT: Scratch that, I spoke too soon.

And picking moderators based on OOC political beliefs  ???

How about picking Moderators that have a sense of story and a sense of military and a sense of society.
