NSG Senate (interest, brainstorming)

[Mexico-Brazilian Empire]

Wouldn't this turn into a "who's the most well-known NSG poster" contest real fast? What chance would new users have against people who've been here for years and who are well-liked and accepted?

[Ainin]

There was an NSG parliament before?

Learn something new every day.

Also, I support this idea with reservations.

[Denecaep]

So I'm glad everyone's interested, but does anyone have particular suggestions about how it could work? I've already been planning out a simple and easy framework for the senate, but I'm open to suggestions.

not that much it seems. Unfortunately i doubt you can change the popularity contest attitude in this...

I hadn't planned for it to be an election simulation... I was more thinking a legislative simulation.

Isn't that basically real government, though?

Simple, you implement a roman system and make me eternal dictator.

[Parhe]

Sounds nice I'd like it.

I wish I was more popular for whatever reason.

Well I suppose in an environment where a lack of good looking clothes or attractive features is present, popularity is created through individual's qualities that should be noted in a senate of sorts...

I don't know I'm not popular by any means, nor old enough to be wise...

There is nothing stopping people from posting their pictures, but good looks do not seem to take you as far on forums.

[AiliailiA]

I filibuster this idea.

Well, don't stop. You have to keep talking for it to be a fillibuster!

And, we have our first rule of procedure.

"NSG Senate" sounds too much like role-playing. There's enough waffle without anyone doing it on purpose ...

[Napkiraly]

So we'd be saying what is and isn't okay in NSG or something?

[The United Kingdoms of Equestria]

Why not make a two post a day limit? And perhaps a word count limit. This will give people one proposal and one rebuttal per-day and thus reduce the popularity contest thing. So, instead of the Senate it's more of a House of Representatives style experience.

It's looking like a fictional pseudo nation within NSG thing or something...

But an individual's qualities are only noted after you've been here long enough for them to be noticed by other people. I don't know, I was just thinking if this was implemented every nation on it would be a Post-Master General or would have been here for more than 3 years...

So everyone would be a member automatically?

Actually if the Senate appointed the a dictator it was his duty to step down after a year. Julius Caesar was the only person to be appointed to dictator for life, and that simple because he wanted to work with the senate for the advancement of Rome.

The problem there is I'm doubtful you'd get a massive amount of posters with that large of a post count, or be around that long, as a Senate often implies a rather larger number to represent the various ideas of NSG...

Pfft but I don't know...

I suppose I shall march on Rome with eight legions to depose you and save the Republic. Of course, they'll need more fabulous uniforms first...

What of Sulla? And Catiline?
