Politicians
Releasethe Krakken
I recently saw Sluagh proposing to remove congress and the constitution.
We all know eRepublik have many politicians. Itz even easy to understand that no matter who you place in charge the same issues will remain.
The occupation of Lithuania(number 1) lacking supplies to soldiers (number 2) no transparency (number 3) making money in tough economic conditions (number 4)paying for mpp's (number 5)Keeping the populus happy (problem 6)
There is a growing feeling that politics will forever divides us into camps. It even have unnecessary tags like socialist or right center or right wing or anarchist. Yet in the end the only thing is we dont get rid of our problems we get rid of our politicians and players. In the end as I have pointed out the number of players actually making decisions would probably be the same number of people making decisions with no politics.
The question in the end will be : Do we remove politicians alone or do we remove politics all together? I am leaning more towards removing politics because as I see it there is not really good politics in eireland. Politicians maybe politics not. There is simply too few people its not like real politics where you can fill a house with 200 mp's easily. Its like real politics that a party can quickly grow dominant and win every election. Also there is not so many candidates to fill gaps😒
o one quickly get the same old faces in cabinet each month. There is too many ad hominem attacks and a inclination to bend rules to a certain purpose. And usually there is no recourse for the everyday man on the street if the old faces bend rules to their will: he doesn't have the numbers and there is too few people to give a hoot. Then usually the rules get blamed and not the person ignoring the rules. Some people actually show a penchant to bend rules in even ways that show us they dont respect the intelligence of the normal people of Ireland. Will not voting really be such a bad thing then. If there is only 4 tasks in government - supplying troops(not done atm) - deciding on mpp's(easily done) - foreign affairs(charming chimp with typewriter can do it) - making money(2 possible transactions) why do we need 25 people to do it or 45. Are we trying to hit a nail in with a bulldozer instead of a hammer. Nothing in government have ever given me the idea that we need masses of people to do it.
here is some random pics of politicians.

Im paid to listen to ad hominem attacks and strawman fallacies all day. Woot woot

Keeping the populus happy (number 2)
transparency (number 3)
If the political module was done away with I imagine a lot of people would quit this game.
i could put 50 people in a mu and they would beat all other mu's in the world. the people quitting is not the people that usually do anything on the battlefield.
sometimes there is just no political solution to a problem (finding osama bin ladin for example)it probably will still be here(politics) it just wont be the small group deciding stuff for the entire country.
I see your point. It's just to players like me, who are very unlikely to be influential military leaders in any sense, the political game is what intrigues and interests us. Without political parties, elections, etc - I think eRep would be so incredibly boring I would quit within a day. It adds an element of attraction.
Voted for great pictures, and some fair points.
However you need to remember that, like nationalism for example, this game means different things to different people at different times. There are many other games that are just a war module. People play those games for that purpose - war. This game appears to be about more than that. I agree with Cat re the political module.
If we boil this down to war then this is just another pay to win war game, but cleverly for the makers of the game they encourage people to pay real money to protect their country, or win eglory for their country.
the military must be at the top making decisions on supplies, military actions, alliances, and what mpp's must be signed. all other areas can still be run by politicians but the aim will be efficient government.if government makes an decision i must be motivated, easy to follow ad unsterstand and carried out
