Agreed. If all of our work is thrown out again,"to give new authors more opportunity", then I for one will be resigning from & subsequently ignoring the WA -- rather than trying to get my existing resolutions replaced -- to leave it for those new authors, and so there'd be no point in me commenting any further in these discussions
I am of the opinion too.
It's a bit stupid throwing out what's here just to let new players try. They have plenty of opportunity to do stuff here, they just have to find an angle which is palatable to do so.
Whilst I've only a single GA resolution on the books to date, I've probably about 20+ drafts in these forums. The experience has been fun, from seeing how Radiowaves and Microwaves Act fell flat on its face, blocking the floor for some useful purpose then by 8 days by having votes on "Universal Suffrage Act" and "Moratorium on Animal Testing", seeing other scary things happening like the closeness of votes in things like Auralia's "Repeal "On Abortion"" or how my "Right to Adequate Sanitation" was failing at first and then the tides changed due to McMasterdonia's and TNP's voting, or how "Ban of Perfidy in Warfare" failed miserably but ushered in a new era of Separatist People's war proposals.
If passing is the premise on which "opportunities are given on", that idea must be knocked out of people's heads. The GA game has always been on "very hard" mode, and it should not be turned down to "easy" just because of non-existent newbies (these forums are getting quieter by the day). If there's any changes it will be up to players - who will then realise that chunky widesweeping resolutions should be repealed for more minutely and intricately written pieces.
It should never be an objective to pass legislation in these places, in my opinion. More emphasis should be to the drafting method and trying to work with people and work-like politics here, which makes this place interesting than say, plain raiding founderless regions. The fun is in the process itself, like how true blue raiders are - they raid for fun, and not for the endresult of changing WFEs because they always get changed back.
Back to branding. I'm still more convinced that the one-nation rule is sufficient.
How about a Nobel Prize-like compromise? At most two nations listed, alongside the submitter which makes three (max for Nobel Prize-sharing). I sometimes wished to add Eireann Fae to "Right to Adequate Sanitation"'s contributions list.
