Do you have what it takes...?
Honest reply: "No, no I don't."
Follow-up query (also honest): "If players feel this current game is lacking, would anyone be interested in trying out a game that recaptures some of eRepublik's political/democratic/legislative process?"
My hunch is no one wants to, but here's a quick pitch for it in a nutshell:
--The game is called Nomic.
--The point of the game is to change the rules so that you can gain points, block other players from getting points, or even cause other players to lose points.
--Nomic begins with a simple set of rules (the initial set can vary depending on what people want to play with), but the rules evolve as players propose new rules and amend or remove old ones.
--Nomic can be played in a forum, through group mail list, or even through something like an article's comment area.
--Nomic is the bane of anti-roleplayers and possibly a mild cure for political junkies feeling the withdrawal symptoms of a meaningless Congress.
--Nomic has undefined limits of where the game can go and player imagination and wit rules supreme.
You can read more about it here, which provides a standard initial rule-set for Nomic (but it can simplified for beginner players):

I wrote an article about it, but decided not to publish it because people seem hostile to different ideas in eCanada's media. Frankly, it could just be as interesting to watch the political module die in this game just to see what happens in the end.
outpay you mean
Admin used to take down articles like this. Now there are either too many or they don't care.
I shall report it and see what happens 😃

I think they overlooked the negative impact of the dictator update.
You think?

We are all gonne eDie at some point.
