So there will be 27 seats overall? Why not just have 50... We already have around 80 votes. We could actually even do with 100 seats, but I think 50 would be best, 27 is too weird of a number.

[pikachu]

Bosnjak spoiled the ballot, although I don't think he's been trying to. He claims to have somewhat fascistic views, so I don't think he could have voted for the communists. One less right-wing vote.

Sephardi:

We do not have enough active players to support a 50 seat parliament, never mind one with a 100 seats. The game collapsed last time it was tried.

Yeah, and THAT won't be repeated.

Why not have 50? Because 50 people don't REGULARLY attened to the sim on a day-to-day basis. About 12-20 do. As it's structured now, those who want to play casually, can pop in, throw in their voices about a given issue, then leave it to those who play regularly to figure it all out.

WIth way more seats everything gets bogged down while you wait for various members to return from fishing trips, finish homework, wank, whatever...

Also, if you'd read the constitution you agreed to when you voted (Meaning no changes are going to happen until a government takes power, you'd understand that the number of seats can increase based on the number of voters).

[Gnote]

The seat thing has been hashed and re-hashed.

I am extremely confident in the method we've chosen. It makes perfect sense to me.


One thing I'm not clear on - how long does the election last before the results are finalized?

As the official opening of the voting will run from Friday, May 8 at 12:00pm CDT (-5 GMT) to Monday, May 11 at 12:00pm CDT

[Demosthenes]

I've noticed there is confusion there as well.

The official end time and date is Monday 12 noon CDT (GMT-5), though voting started early I think it's reasonable enough to keep the ending time, unless the Clerk of Parliament overrides this for some pressing reason.

The official call is actually his, and I won't make it unless he is unavailable.

Edit- that crafty dog Brio beat me to it.

[Sephardi]

How are you getting these number of seats for Parliament. Can somebody show me the thread where this was discussed.

[ingliz]

We are using the d'Hondt calculus the same as last time.

[HoniSoit]

I think some of the discussion is in the GM discussion thread which you can take a look at.
