Polls

[Frozzy]

It's a foregone conclusion. In our Demo game, we'll have polls. Whether they're elections, impeachments, official polls, unofficial polls, we're gonna have them

Personally, I wish to BAN polls which allow you to choose more than one option. I know this will annoy you anti-spam guys, but still...

Won't that defeat the idea of a democracy?

We have banned those polls in our CTP2DG. They are only allowed in case of unoficial polls.

Since these polls can be confusing, give ambiguos results and devaluate the vote of a citzen (on person can vote 10 times the other may only vote 1).

So they are not good enough for types of poll other than unofficial ones.

here are the section about Unofficial polls copied from our democracy:

V. Unofficial polls:
(a) These polls can be started by any Citizen, including members of the government.
(b) They may only exist to debate or gather information. Their outcome should not affect the course of the game or the policy of the government.
(c) Unofficial polls are the only polls in which more than one option may be chosen from the list of options.
(d) They do not have to follow all the rules specified in this Article. However, rules specified in Article I of this Constitution must still be obeyed.

That is normal practice in every democracy.

Either you vote as the establishment wants first time - or you do it the second time.......... or you do it the eight time.......... or.......

Newbie here, I'll visit ctp2 forum and see why I compare to IW.

Actually, in the C3DG, we did not provide for multi-option polls in our constitution, effectively banning them. However, due to recent events, we are now attempting to pass an amendment authorising multi-option polls. Perhaps he shouldn't simply ban them because they are sometimes messy (*cough* ACDG *cough*).

Is it just me or has this whole forum lost a lot of steam this week?

[mrmitchell]

....let's have a poll on that, checkmate! Multiple-option of course.

Don't ban multi-option polls. They are cool.

poll everything...or dont poll everything

as long as we can decide fairly.
