Next Step

[yaroslav]

Ok guys, in order to speed up this game I think we should vote what it our next step. The options are

1. Wait in order to select ALL detalis about the goverment (will be a knesset or no?)

2. Start the game right now via selecting a Prime Minister by a direct vote, and let the PM to write, by consensus, a Constitution.

3. Select a system for the Knesset (Parlament) and then vote a Knesset which will select the PM.

This poll has a timeout of 48 hours, that is the maximum time I'll allow this to be open. I vote for the second option, in order to don't waste more time!

Start RIGHT NOW!

I nominate Pinky Gen for Prime Minister!

[Stefan Härtel]

I tried to vote, but my session is invalid.
I voted for the second option. I nominate EmuGod

[PinkyGen]

I voted start now, as it seems we have spent a lot of time already discussing governments, and the game seems to be moving no where.

OK, but we want to know if you accept your nomination or not?

[H Tower]

most definitely NOT option 2. One person writing a CON is silly since this is a DEMOCRACY game

[EmuGod]

I'm working out the bugs in a modification of the Israeli election system that we can use. My government proposal is basically a modified version of H Tower's proposal.

[PinkyGen]

There seems to be a slight favor for refining a system more, and I must say that even if I was PM, I would prefer to have a system already in place, rather than impose my own (even if it would be stolen....errr... "borrowed" from Htower's).

I am somewhat disturbed we only have 5 votes on this thing. Maybe we need to offer people bananas, or in this case, matzah.

I hope this is NOT any more complicated than H Tower's.

His proposal is the cleanest and most elegant proposal we have right now. I cant speak for everyone else but I will NOT be in favor of anything that adds more layers.

I say we start simple, if we need additional positions we add as we go along.

The lack of voting on this topic leads me to believe folks are losing interest. We do not have enough folks for a complicated government. Even if it is well thought out and realistic.

Just MHO!

Can we start the game allredy?

The number of votes of 'wait for all the details' and 'select a system for the Knesset' is equall to the number of votes of 'start right now!', so let's wait a little more

Ok, guys, that is what I suggest: we don't have enoguh people to have a 'real' Knesset, so all the citizies (we're not many) are going to be members of the Knesset (Parlameint). There will be no problem in being, at the same time, member of the Parlameint and a military officer (I know that in Israel it is not true, but...). Let's hold elections right now to elect president and play with HTower System.

This way, is like a direct election, but some parties can sign alliances and impose a PM. What do you think? Anyway, in order to retain players, we need to start ASAP, IMHO.

(Sorry for not having banana )
