There needs to be some serious game reform to re-balance it or else it isn't fun and there's no sense in playing.

Well, if my ranking reforms go through, he'll be less ahead than he is now :)

Mini, those are the things that we need. I hope you can get enough Duxi or higher to bring them about as charter ammendments. You'll have me to second each and every one of them.

I suppose right now there is nobody who could propose unlimited number of CA's/edicts.
I think if we propose and implement the rule change thing like LotR, anyone can propose unlimited number of CA's.
and this post is to remind everyone else that we really need a 'rule changing' system.

Yes, it would make sense that a proposal like mine, encompassing such a big change to the game mechanic, should be able to be suggested by anyone. Since these kinds of things benefit all participants, it shouldn't be limited by rank or number.

Of course, CA which are only for the benefit of the group which supports it, which do not deal with the game mechanics, these should be limited of course by rank and number.

You can be sure that I will revise my earlier rank reforms once more in the beginning of next week (I got 3 days off so I have the time) and I will further fine tune them.
Then I will present the final design and will request authorization of navarro to propose the mechanic change, as this is his game.

For example we also need a system of quick-votes. There are certain IC things that we should be able to vote upon WITHIN the same turn. Of course this will be about smallish things (like cotta's triumph) only. And Voting will last 48hrs maxium for such issues.

Stuff like this are needed to keep the game dynamic.
The same thing about 'loopholes' in the rules. I think that if someone finds a LEGAL way to bend a rule, he should be let! This is the spirit of the historical roman ways, and creativity should be rewarded! This does NOT mean that rules are to be broken.

I'm just saying that if anyone finds a loophole, and can present his case with perfect legal logic, it should be allowed.

The problem is that the current rules are largely copied from LOTR, and are simply not translated to a roman republic government.

Not everyone comes in here everyday though, just how long are these sudden voting sessions last?

O ya, and im back from my 1 day boycott of btsh. Next time you make me mad navarro, ill go on a hunger strike. Can your conscience handle that navarro? I didnt think so.

These sudden votes will last 36-48 hrs.
As these votes need to be concluded before the next turn, we can't let them take any longer or the game becomes too slow.

But rest assured this will only concern small issues. Anything serious will still have to be voted in edicts during sessions.
But some things must be allowed to be decided in the spurr of the moment :)
