Once again, the mechanics have changed, and once again there’s a sinking feeling that it’s not a good thing.
The cost of the Dictatorship has gone up. What does this mean? If we want to continue to enjoy the security of a Defensive Dictatorship, we’re gonna have to pay out the nose for it.
Straight out of the gate, it seems general consensus that the cost isn’t worth it. It’s very possible that reverting back to a democracy could be in our near future (Admins, you couldn’t do this a couple months ago??? fml).
There are many problems with going back to a democracy. The most glaring, in my opinion, is that we do not have the active population to support a Congress with buttons. With a small population that isn’t super active in the game, I’ve thought one of the biggest advantages of a Dictatorship is it doesn’t require the coordinated effort of so many people. We have a TON of regions. Even though the Congressional roster is roughly the same every single month, the job asks literally nothing of you and as a result there are more than a few barely active players serving in Congress month after month. I’m not terribly confident that the eUS can operate effectively if we turn the buttons over to the Congressmen. Also it makes the meta extremely important.
But who knows? Maybe being a Dictatorship has been a major contributor to the lack of interest in eRep in the eUS. Maybe if people had buttons they would be more invested. Maybe if the meta parts of Congress were more than just wanking, people would care more?
It’s certainly a theory.
The Cocktail Party doesn’t have a candidate in this election, but in my opinion this is the one issue that matters. Our endorsement is up for grabs and there are only 2 ways to win it- convince us you have the best plan for navigating this Dictatorship/Democracy issue or drink the other candidates under the table.
If the candidates want to compete in a drinking competition, just say the word and we’ll make it happen LIVE ON A COCKTAIL PARTY MIXER (stream).

nice
I mean, I've already been drinking for a solid portion of this term. 👌
If it's a drinking competition. I'm so IN!
I have been preparing for this for months! Getting ready for a show-down.
Got a new headset ready especially for this event(delivered today).
Your going down Derphoof!
Your endorsement brings how many votes to the table? 3? 4?
So how about we rent regions like all shitty countries, then we'll have less Congressman and less to worry about! (sarcasm mode on)
too bad that's sarcasm. I think that would be worthwhile.

This has never been one of the original reasons we decided to use the dictatorship.
Also I'm up for a drinking competition
Are you running??
Do I have to run to outdrink those American lightweights?
You have to drink champagne through a straw as a handicap.
I keep a bottle of bollinger in the fridge so that is easy. Also Americans cant pronounce bollinger.
I know it wasn't one of the original reasons. It does seem to be an extra benefit though
Idk, it wasn't considered back then, not sure if congress is really that much worse nowadays. I think I was SexDef when they introduced it and I swapped cs to NL to immediately enforce dictatorship over there, USA took a little more debating hours but basically everyone (as far as active cabinet goes) was in agreement with me that it had to be done asap before some foreign villains tried to do some fuckery.
Best SexDef of all times I might add xD

No, probably not.
Say YES to Re-Broification though. TemujinCP March 5th
