If that did happen, likely the only two threads on the forums would be the Chamber and our OOC thread, as those are the main two threads. Everything else would be offsite.
We've also got our forum set up although not much is going on yet;
https://nsparliament.boards.net/And here's the link to our only current proposal, Banduria;
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kel ... yPpxg/editMost discussion around the RP happens in our
Discord, and I encourage anyone who hasn't already joined to join.
As a suggestion, why not just have an OOC, IC, and Chamber instead of so many different threads? You can probably merge every thread other than chamber into one IC thread
In my opinion, the character database is essential to this RP. The bill repository is less essential but if we can keep it I want to keep it.
The other issue is with stuff like Twitter. It's a useful feature, but having it in the IC thread does cause people to get annoyed by the spam. Having no limit on the threads we can create will mean stuff like Twitter could be separated into a separate "Social Media" thread.

Similar to say, Land of the Free, we'll have actual NPC-driven elections for seats, rather than people just taking a new seat.
I want actual political campaigning, where you have to work for NPC votes, rather than just inviting as many friends as possible to win a majority.
Elections will be discussed, but as it stands anyone who joins and wants a seat in Parliament will get a seat in Parliament. That's how it works in this RP, and I don't want to change that. We may introduce an NPC element and stuff like campaigns to influence it, but I also want to make this more about character driven RP over numbers and campaigning. If you want campaigning and fully simmed elections to be the focus, there are plenty of Reddit sims that do just that. This sim is supposed to be different and I'm not going to change one of the main things that draws me to this sim.
Going back to the subject of the forum, another option that's been brought up is to just use Discord and have less important and "spammy" threads like the Database and Repository be channels on the Discord server. This would also mean that Discord would probably be made mandatory or at the least extremely recommended for the roleplay, which some people might not like. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
