I question the idea that new players have disappeared from Lincoln. Labor just elected a fine new councilman in KaiserDave and a few months ago Lincoln Labor elected the newbie Mimoha. This is no less than any other party has put up and the current players are no less the lifeblood of the game than new ones. I ask why do you say that new player are disappearing due to Labor?
Simply put Labour dominance has consolidated power into a small group of party elites who are well established in the game, new players may still join but lack any influence or activity unless they toe the party line.
Hey there. Good to see new players getting involved!
Speaking of new players, it's of note that 4 out of 5 of Labor-Peace's House representatives joined or became active players in 2020. In fact, I was the only one of our representatives to be registered before this year began IIRC, but I wasn't even a Laborite until January 2020! Specifically in Lincoln, the newest member of the Council is KaiserDave, who's also in Labor. Meanwhile, most of DA's leadership core has been around since 2017 or earlier, and many have held high leadership positions in both the Labor and Federalist parties (in fact, I struggle to recall DA players besides yourself that joined this year). Just some quick pointers as you get acclimatized to Atlasia!
