[Congress] Abolish the Meta™/ Back to Game Mechanics Petition [23/40]
FightAndProduce
This is not an "official vote", but if we get 21 members of congress or a reasonable amount of active congress to agree to this on this article I'd consider this a completely legitimate vote to abolish meta and essentially return to the normal political mechanics in eRepublik.
I would address this petition to the CP of the eUK, Arrlo and the Dictator (Woldy). Seeing as how we're arguing for the end of meta, and we do not have a Speaker, it seems fitting to have this go through in the proper manner, and not to use the mechanics we want to abandon anyway to do so.
So if you're in congress, declare your support for this in the comments o7.
If you are not a member of congress, you can comment as well, I'll add you in. Seeing as how its going to the CP, they should see that it has public support also.

Personal opinion on alternatives
I'd also like to add that if we remove the meta then the workings of congress should go back to one where congress can only vote on things which can normally be changed by congress in democracy. This can be the only true alternative to a meta without becoming convoluted.
Comments
I support this o7.
Supported, however perhaps just have something that says "Follow the default political mechanics of eRepublik".
Obviously I assume that removal of meta would mean that anyway, but just to make it official.
switzerland supports the idea
Supported.
I support it, providing it isn't used as a reason for Congress not to organise themselves as a unit; in the same way a Cabinet or Alliance relies on elements of meta expectations or responsibilities to organise themselves.
I think you can force organisation on them- appoint a MoLA if you need to!
>Removes legislation
>Appoints Minister of Legislative Affairs
lmao
also supported
Supported. Burn it all.
[removed]
I will always support any proposal to abolish meta
'essentially return to the normal political mechanics in eRepublik'
Guessing you mean under a democracy rather than dictatorship, in which case we'd need to work something out to reconcile having a dictator with the expected privileges of Mongress.
Doesn't have to be a 'law', if the community is determined to see the end of meta I'm happy to rely on Woldy's common sense
"in which case we'd need to work something out to reconcile having a dictator with the expected privileges of Mongress."
No, No No, You've so obviously missed the point the abolition of Meta does not mean replacing it with something else
Fuck this guy.
Supported, both as a congress member and as VP.
Also to note Arrlo is literally in France in right now but we've both talked about this for ages, so you can rest assured he's down for it.
Last time I was in eUK we'd removed all the roleplaying stuff, looks like you've gone full circle!
We've gone full retard...
I beg to differ, full retard is when you dress as your avatar in RL and then inform your work colleagues that you now wish to be addressed as God of War Horice G Fossil, defender of the eUK and disciple of the Almighty Bob Boblo, blessing be upon him!
Horice 👍
Supported.
The only normal political mechanics is a return to democracy, doing the same stuff trough the dictatorship is still meta...so meh.
tru tru
The man with reasonable sense here it comes drum drum drum it"s Panonian Nomad 😃 🙂
True what you say and really haven"t any side-effects if you abolish Meta-Congress or to returning to normal political mechanics module.
"abolish meta and essentially return to the normal political mechanics in eRepublik"
Technically that means Woldy is in charge and can do as he likes - as he could anyway if he really wanted to. But the point is - will I be able to propose a change in the tax rate as per the game mechanics as if we were a Democracy? If the answer is no then nothing will change - when/how will the discussions and vote take place? If we don't have rules and guidelines setting out some procedures and guidelines then there's no point in having a Congress or Government.
I'm now leaning toward removing the Dictatorship and establishing a Democracy and if there was sufficient support that would be the way to go.
Supported as congressman and MoFA of the UK
Supported - abolish the meta but keep Congress accountable.
[removed]
Supported
Citizen supporting!
So, this means abolishing all this crazy Statute book as whole? or going back to Democracy? or both?
Abolish statute book
I dig it.
sponsored i guess 😛
Voted and supported. The current meta laws aren't very fun and aren't very useful; they simply need to go.
For now I'm happy to rely on Woldy's common sense, but I do wonder if we can't progress towards a democracy once again after this change passes.
On 13 Congress members at this point.
I support this.
But I do think we need to remove the dictatorship too and return to game mechanic led democracy.
I'll be raising this in Congress.
Yeah, supported.
So we're making woldy absolute dictator?
supported
and no to removing the dictatorship, unless someone is going to pay the 1m cc cost for us
and even then probably not because F*CK CONGRESS HAVING ACCESS TO THE CS BUTTONS
It'll make it much more interesting again.
So put me down as a support please!
I'm in congress, and i support this.
I am not convinced about a *TOTAL* reset of the entire legislative system. We *DO* have a load of crap which needs weeding - but I suspect that a total reset is probably ill advised....
So - I guess that this is a qualified NO to supporting the proposal....
Supported by me, also as congressmember
Supporting abolish Meta Congress and give His Royal Highness King Woldy Constitutional Dictator of UK all power.
Yeah get rid of meta but please don't come up with a boring alternative.
You are in Congress, make sure they don't.
I tried to make sure congress impeached the speaker last term too, that went well didn't it?
Idk man...
