Now that that BS is out of the way, can we actaully hold elections that include the entire PoFo electorate?

I suggest NOT LETTING INGLIZ DO IT.

[ingliz]

I am afraid not, we will seat our MP's, ratify the new constitution, declare a one party state and then this farce will be over.

Of course, if you concede this round I will happily walk away and you can reset the game

[MB.]

I can't believe people voted for you.

[ingliz]

Well there's nowt so queer as folk.

I was elected because my party believed I could best coordinate a peaceful revolution and deliver a socialist state, I have done so. I was not elected to be nice.

[MB.]

I'm glad we're absolutely clear that you've always been operating under the objective of ruining the game, and now you have.

Stop playing.

[ingliz]

I'm glad we're absolutely clear that the communists have always been operating under the objective of winning the game, and now we have.

[MB.]

Please, stop incriminating yourself.

I can't find a pofo emoticon to properaly express the disgust I'm feeling right now.

[ingliz]

We are revolutionary socialists what were we supposed to do?

[Dr House]

Bill, lay off. Ingliz told me privately he is willing to walk away and let us reset the game without any communists playing as communists, but you seriously got to stop being a dick about this. You're not helping.

[MB.]

You assume I want this to happen.

but you seriously got to stop being a dick about this. You're not helping.

Do you really trust the communists?

[Demosthenes]

Yet SN-RF could say the same thing MB..., about the rest of the parties.

I really think the biggest issue, as some did hint around at from to time, is that the over all premise is just a little flawed from the get-go.

It was a really fun idea, but without some concrete rules that can't be changed (I mean like in a video game) I just don't think anyone really trusts anyone else enough (for obvious reasons) to really make this work very well.

I could be wrong, we've got some sharp users...but still, there's blame all around for how it's turned out. I'm willing to accept mine, with the idea that I WAS trying.

But the idea that the communists ruined the game is non-sense. Had some other party won, the result would have been the same. They would have thrown out bills and nobody would have debated them. That's where the game breaks down, unfortunately.

Hell, the most fun was early on when we were all competing for votes and doing pm-backroom deals to try and make things work.

Ah well...

[MB.]

I challenge the Ingliz regime to try to stop me from calling new elections.

[Zyx]

Under what pretext can you call a new election hours after one finished?

[Kon]

Under the pretext that he is Mr fucking Bill

[Zyx]

Well, that is just plain stupid.

What does an election hours after another do?

The poll only closed hours ago.

Why would another election be held?

Seriously, it's no wonder MB. is on the losing side, his idea of a good simulation is elections held back-to-back with nothing in between.

What a waste.

[MB.]

I haven't called for the election yet. I wanna actaully see Ingliz pass his Soviet Republic bill.

[Zyx]

Are you even an MP? How would you call an election? IIRC this is a clean SN-RF sweep.

[MB.]

I'm just waiting, propped up here, for Ingliz to move some legislation.

[HoniSoit]

Hell, the most fun was early on when we were...doing pm-backroom deals to try and make things work.

I concur. It was the most interesting part of the game. I thought, naively, that as the game went on the kind of open as well as secret negotiation and dealing we saw in the early stage of the game would continue.

[MistyTiger]

Under what pretext can you call a new election hours after one finished?

Popular demand? If we could set up a petition thread and we get enough signatures, then a new election could be called for. I believe that signatures could be gotten.
