While i appreciate your effort you put into a german speech...don't do it...especially with Google Translate(the amount of grammatic mistakes...is...astounding)

 And well im pretty much the only one around here who can read it(maybe we have some 1 or 2 other hidden germans but yeah...stay with an English Speech. After all it's an international forum.)

I can read german. I even know enough of the language to know that I really should not attempt to speak it.

I get the gist of German. I even know enough of the language to know that the gist is almost always not accurate.

I can understand some German (thank you Rammstein!)  but sure, we'll speak English.

Hrmm, I am not entirely certain about this game, but with the apparent lack of functioning parties I figure that my ineptness will likely be tolerated.
I wish to join GreatWyrmGold's Die Gedankenjustierer Partei, or Bdthemag's Vereinigte Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, whichever needs players the most...

I'm alone in my party, if I'm not mistaken.

I feel offended.

[Bdthemag]

Well, I think the general problem is that there's no clear direction on what we SHOULD do. We also need more readers who join parties and whatnot, but that ties in with the confusion regarding what the hell we're supposed to do.

[RAM]

It think that we make two or more parties with at least three players in each and then hold elections. I suggest at this point that everyone who is inclined to do so makes a party, then everyone votes for all the parties using a preferential system, then a number of parties equal to or less than the number of players divided by three(or four for insurance) get elected, then players are assigned equally to parties based upon their preferences, with conflicts resolved by random chance.

Spoiler: Example (click to show/hide)

Parties:
a.Anarch rats
b.Autocrats
c.Democrats
d.Meritocrats
e.Plutocrats
f.Theocrats

Players:
Annie
Bob
Charlotte
Dennis
Ethel
Frederick
Gertrude
Harold
Irene
John

Votes:
defcab: Annie
abcdef: Bob
badcfe: Charlotte
fedcab: Dennis
feadbc: Ethel
defbac: Frederick
fedcab: Gertrude
badfec: Harold
becfad: Irene
cadfeb: John

Primary: 10 players / 3 per party = 3+ish
a bbb c dd fff: maximum current votes=3, b and f are in
Secondary:
aaa b eeeeee: maximum current combined primary and secondary votes=6, e is in.
parties voted=3=Autocrats, Plutocrats, Theocrats.
Charlotte, Harold, and Irene primary votes = Autocrats= 3 players=one party.
0 primary votes for Plutocrats.
Dennis, Ethel, Gertrude= Theocrats= 3= party
Annie, Bob, Frederick, John not assigned
Annie: e f b
Bob: b e f
Fred: e f b
John: f e b
E needs players, Annie and Fred = Plutocrats still needs another player
Bob=1 John=2 Random=2 John=Plutocrat, Bob=Autocrat.

that seems...needlessly complex ram. Everyone be it reader or player gets two votes which he can divide as he sees fit.

Bdthemag. What you should do is an Election Campaign. Make your party more preferable to Voters. As in Real Politics you can go this way by sheer facts on what you would do better or With Slogans, election posters(pictures you put up as post), by merging with other parties into a coalition, by makign smear Campaigns against other Parties, really go wild with your ideas in that regard.

I will merely put up an Election soon and then let the voters do their job.

[Ghazkull]

Okay we are entering the Hot Phase of the Elections. They will alst for the next seven Days and everyone has 2 Votes. Gentlemen get more aggressive in your Election Campaigns to garner more Votes from the Readers. Right Now both the ADV and the VDA have two Members and thus are automatically in the lead.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'd like to point out that traditional campaigning will be a bit pointless if we're campaigning to other Bay12ers, given the number who would vote for a party with a campaign of "We'll flood the French cheese-eating surrender elves with magma!" regardless of if this is plausible or even possible.


That being said...let's have the Readers say what they care about.

I would like to think that the readers would be more mature than that, but, now that I think about it, this is Bay12 we're talking about.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Mature isn't the problem. Sane is the problem.

[Cheesecake]

Mature isn't the problem. Sane is the problem.

I should sig this later.

Don't mind GreatWyrmGold, they are just miffed over what happened to the list of their games...

How about we can't vote for our own parties? I could see the alternative ending rather abruptly...

Not true.

Would you prevent McCain from voting Republican?
