Rodrigo,
On the poll, I agree
On your 2 proposals, both sound good, but I'd need to playtest both to really make a decision on which is better.
All,
On the "political" vs. "negotiated" systems, I think LGJ has pretty much summed up my thoughts on the subject of what a real political system is like, I feel the negotiated system handles it better, especially when you take into account the other parts of the system, the riots and social models. IMO, you cannot look at the gov't model alone to decide if the negotiated system will work, you must look at the three models, gov't, social, and riot models as a whole (at a minimum, the gov't and riot models). If you just look at one model, it's like looking at only 1/3 of a very large puzzle and trying to figure out what the picture is, you might get it, but it's unlikely.
F_Smith,
btw, that's why I haven't posted any of my thoughts on what is going on in the beast right now, not that I haven't had a few peeks at it, it's just that IMO we're testing an unfinished system and the test results will be totally screwed up until the rest is in there.
I know I don't show my face often in these discussions, but I've been following along, it's just that 99% of the time I agree with Rodrigo, so there's no need for me to post...but this time I had to vote
