PLEASE READ THE TOPPED CONSTITUTION THREAD AND THIS POST BEFORE VOTING
We are one turn into the game, I think we need to pick constitution.
Heres my very brief analysis(if perhaps a little biased) of the two Constituions.
EPW's version:
Pro's: Tries to address likely issues in detail that may appear during the course of the game. Defines Offices and assigns specific roles to each office.
Con's: Unless we have a lot of participation by all players (not the case now) it could be impossible to follow to the word. Could be seen as too restricting.
Daddy-O's version:
Pro's: Much smaller, more figure it out as you go kind of thing. Much like the situation right now.
Con's: In my opinion its less democratic. If conflicts arise, not much o fall back on.
The "Revolution" amendment
Pro's: Could liven up things a bit, espacially when the game starts to sloowww down.
Con's: Could cause unnecessary internal tension.
I also included the option to include my officer's article to Daddy-O's version
No government: Basically this means we play it like have so far, Platypus as supreme ruler and a turn player as the only official offices. Everything else is just done by whoever gets around to it.
