Cris Survey - Creation of a second chamber.

[Adam Griffin]

I'm in favor of a senate of 6 (region elected), a house of 11(at-large), and consolidation to 3 regions.

This is the only system that will come out of it, if any.

I don't know where or why all of these other ideas are being injected into the mix. Adding net offices makes no sense. Leaving five regions in addition to adding a new chamber makes no sense.

The point is to create a new dynamic in the game that has never existed, of course. This game is far from perfect and those who defend some tired structure have no stronger footing to stand on than do those of us who want change for change's sake. The creation of a second chamber is frankly the only compromise solution that can be forged to deal with the problem of too many offices at the regional level/too many regions, which is precisely why you can't add a second chamber with 10+ offices and keep all of the existing ones, for Christ's sake.

I think more than anything, it's an attempt to muddy the waters and diffuse the dialog so much that it has zero chance. That won't be allowed to occur.

The point is to create a new dynamic in the game that has never existed, of course, and to make its introduction contingent upon passage of FTRA.

Why should adding six offices federally cost us the existence of my region.

Because your region is a garbage heap, incapable of maintaining basic activity standards, an active Governor, an active Assembly, etc. It very well may be the most inactive region of the game now, and that's saying a lot when you're worse than the Pacific and/or Midwest, historically-speaking.
