Elections (and a Lack Thereof)

Day 2,660, 17:50 • Published in Czech Republic

• by milestailsprower

Hello,

So my party did not think I was going to run again and nominated Jankhos as president because he asked. I noticed this too late because I am a big newb. It was a good run though, and don't worry, I'm not going to enact anything reckless in my final hours. Best of luck to your new president Jankhos. Thank you to the Czech Republic for allowing me to serve for these three months, and may you all find prosperity and freedom in the coming months.

Now. Dictators.

Choosing one of our people as a dictator would prevent PTOs. Would be rather unpleasant for some foreign MU to impose power on us. My final words to you are that perhaps, we should instate a dictator, whoever is willing to pay the 200k CC. There are obvious drawbacks of activity and democracy, but from a practical perspective, I think a dictator is doable.

I really have nothing else to really say, other than that you have not seen the last of me. Stay foxy my friends.~

Warm regards,

MoD | MoFA | MoF | MoP | President | Rozcestník nováčka

Thank you for time which you devoted to the Czech Republic!

200k cc is big sum. We need to have discussion in Congress.

Based on the game mechanics, congress nor president are really democratically representative tho. Who they are representin'? Party presidents, in my opinion. And them party presidents ought to represent their member-base as to be able to say something in the lines of: "Well, it is a party system based something, which has a democratic principle."

Old system of elections in congress was better! Congress and CP will be nominal positions after victory of dictatorship. All sides of dictatorship we will duscuss in congress.
Btw, eRep needs monarchy 🙂

Not really in terms of anti-PTO tho, as now if someone wants to use multies and those multies all get preferred by a party president, it seems easier to decide to ban the party president.

Anyhow, while I find eRep to be a showable example of "mechanics" useable in or with multiplayer games, you know there often being in-game clans and so, and the owner not always caring about others enjoying playing clan-based, etc. etc., especially in terms of RL politics (and politology) it is and has been to me way too simplistic, somehow put. E.g. it doesn't even offer having the political system mirroring individual's RL political systems as such. Which of course is usually more complex than not, but e.g. Civ is understandably aimed at a gaming experience. Which isn't necessarily relevant to the whole new feature, but just wanted to point it out.

The mechanics realizes idea of game. Idea of eRep very rare for online games therefore there are a lot of players. It really gives some freedom in
methods of country management. A lot of methods are based not on mechanic, they are based on imagination and means of communication. Because of that player has ample opportunities which he thinks out and tries to realize.

But some things are limited by mechanics. Dictatorship limit CP and congress, V1 ecenomy module was more realistic.

I don't know what changes I want to see in eRep... Maybe something like Civ+RTW with technology tree, moving units, special buildings... It seems unreal for browser game 🙁
