NSG Senate (interest, brainstorming)

[Terraius]

I dont see it being effective. NS is half radical batshit insane leftist psychopath, half backwoods closet-nazi loving right wing nutjob. It would end up more polarized than the Large Hadron Collider. For serious.

[Denecaep]

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

So everyone would be a member automatically?

If you apply and have been around for at least a month.

[Denecaep]

Maybe I'm missing something, but seeing as this isn't an election, I'm slightly confused as to why some people are talking about it being a popularity contest.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I will now join as part of the "Booze and Boobs" party.

We all know that this will invariably lead to my ascension to the position of Grand High Pooba of NSG once Generalites realize that voting for anybody but me is an endorsement of Pol Pot, sweat shop labor, and drowning puppies.

[Luziyca]

It is a good idea, and I'll be taking part.

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

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...

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.

What of Sulla? And Catiline?

Sulla's rule 82 BC-81 BC. Catiline from what I understand never had the office of dictator, only consul.

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

Pure genius. Hopefully you could use my proposed election method in a way of choosing the Senators. If I would be an Administrator, I would like to do Economic Policy.

[DuThaal Craftworld]

So.
Liberals vs Conservatives versus TET?
I'm in.

Probably my fault based on my hasty reading of the OP. Anyways, I like the idea as it stands.

Like I said before, I encourage you guys to make suggestions now because the initial thread will be up tomorrow most likely.

There will be two threads, a discussion/organization thread for applications, party creations, etc, and a chamber thread for debate and procedure.

[Costa Alegria]

I'll do it if I get free hookers.

[Frisivisia]

I'm already President of one Senate. I can do one more.

[AiliailiA]

They're called Pages or Interns. You only get one ... would you prefer male or female?

Hamsters actually.

But female would be nice.

NSG would never be that simple.....

Liberals vs Social Democrats vs Libertarians vs Libertarian Socialists vs Marxists vs Market Socialists vs Nazis vs Fascists...........etc

There would likely be some sort of coalition system with all the parties. Left v. Right, Authoritarian v. Libertarian, etc.

And then there's always me. Smack bang in the middle like a massive hairy pimple.

Pick a side and moderate them (Join us on the left, TaQud ).

[The God-Realm]

I am running.

[Frisivisia]

I am running.

That's impressive that you could type that while sprinting.

That'd be interesting. I'd be at a terrible disadvantage, I won't find a safe spot easily due to my quirky views.

Yeah, I saw it. It's a great system for government, but a bit complicated for two threads in a forum.
