Purple State and Marokai's BIG IDEA

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The idea of game reboot is very tempting for me. But somehow I guess that the game planning stages in the Constitutional Convention were probably very painful. Could some of the game veterans enlighten us on this?

Planning?  During a Constitutional Convention?

What?

He's new here, remember. He'll learn.

The trouble with a total restart is that it kind of destroys what we've done so far. Instead of wiping the slate clean, perhaps we ought to consider buying a new slate.

Totally change the game? Interesting idea. Of course, I don't see this going anywhere, since most people enjoy (for some reason) the mindless, stale game that is Atlasia.

No, what I mean is that we declare a Second Republic. Things passed under the First Republic would then take on the background role that American legislation pre-2004 has here.

I don't see why U.S law should be in any proposed new 'backstory' and what we've done here over the past six years should be placed in the memory hole.

I would like this question answered, please.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I don't intend for there to be any "backstory."

But why should everything we've done here be placed in the memory hole?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To put it simply, if our choices are "Continue on a path where we have done anything and everything politically imaginable" or "Scrap everything and go into Atlasia: Remixed" I would choose the latter each time. I see no reason why keeping everything already passed in the last many years benefits us in any way.

I disagree that there are only two choices. As I wrote earlier, it makes more sense to buy a new slate than to wipe clean the current one. Declare a Second Republic and - essentially - archive all that has been done over the past six years, but don't pretend that it didn't happen. Besides, a total re-boot is impossible; unless we want to spend forever and a day passing all the boring, minor legislation on issues that no one but Ernest cares about in order to establish the sort of legislative and regulatory framework a modern state needs.
