DIA : renewal

[Spiffor]

Hello fellow DIA members !

Here is a thread about the renewal of the DIA. Since Timeline's departure, our party has been sleeping pretty much. I have failed to give it a new dynamics with some discussion threads, which turned out to be opens discussions rather than pure DIA ones.

I will be even busier in Spetember than I was in August, so I think elections for a new leader is in order. If you're interested, please apply here.
Also, if you have ideas to give a new dynamics to the DIA, please share them here. Thank you.

My personal views are :

During my short leadership of the Party, I didn't insist on the position of the party often enough. Because I never really synthetized the 2 "policy" threads, the party had no coherent platform, and I didn't dare to speak in the name of the party.

Also, even if mudslinging is often bad, its complete absence made parties much less present in our political life. Some will say it's good news, but we shouldn't forget parties foster our aspirations regarding the "big picture". This is different from the institutes or academies, whose purpose is to look at short-middle term issues to find the most optimal solution.

Party politics is intended to say whether we want to be conquerors or builders, whether we want to be enligtened or barbaric. Whether we want to send our children to school or to war. Whether we want widows to mourn their children, or mothers to live in happy families.

A renewed DIA will be an essential tool to counter all the noise made by warmongers. It will also be an essential tool against all those who want to reduce our liberties in our great Democracy. Many builders and true democrats here are silent, because they feel the game is filled by warmongers and their voice won't be heard. The DIA is here for their voice to be heared, and thus is needed.

What probably should be done in the fuure for the DIA to be more present :
- A new attempt of inner debate (once we have peace). Maybe we should refuse non-DIA members in these inner debates for once. We must have a coherent platform for our leaders to tell.
- More "roleplaying" mudslinging against these brainless thugs who drink blood of French children our esteemed opponents .
- More candidates next elections, with a definite builder approach

[Thud]

I'd love to be a candidate for any election we might have, and for any people who are waiting to get the chance to vote for me in something.

[Thud]

Spiffor is right. We could even have inner debate on what mud we're going to be slinging in the long term. Though since everybody who isn't in the DIA loves to pop into our policy discussions, that might not be such a great idea.

We should also resume sending out PMs to members about the policy reached in debates.

Chat

Maybe we could do a chat to deside our policys as well as a thread that would keep thing in focus on the subject you could invite the members of the DIA.

We also need to get nomonys for for the post of party leader and vote on them.

[Kuciwalker]

I think that you SHOULDN'T reorganize. The parties have BOTH died, and it'll be fine to leave it at that.

[Thud]

If we are to reorganize, I think we should do it in an organized fashion. I think we should draft a brief Charter, including our foundation objectives and long-term policies, leadership responsibility, and how to and how often (when predeccesor resigns, every month, every two months?) to elect that leader.

Skywalker, who asked you?

[Kuciwalker]

Thud - NO ONE asked me. That doesn't make my opinion worthless.

[Ninot]

no, but it does make you an anarchist, intruding on another parties policies and ambitions without good reason.

[Kuciwalker]

I do have a good reason. I stated it.

[Nimitz]

We need to have a charter and some organization but first we need to figuer out the policys we support because without that why have a party. We need to figuer out the policys than get some one to write the charter and then start recruting again.

[Kuciwalker]

You already know the policies you support. You're builders.

[Nimitz]

But to what degree are we against all offencive wars or do we there is a time and a place for them. What do we build first temples or market places whats the most important. So we do need to set policy.

[Kuciwalker]

Virtually everyone, DIA or not, has agreed that after this war, we're waiting until late medieval or early industrial at the EARLIEST for our next war.
