DWTL is Running for Something

Don't quite know what, but this place has really gone to hell while I have been gone and its time some life comes back

Has it now?

IMO it has.  I know a lot of people like this mundaneness that seems to be running rampant.  A political campaign here and there that generates some interest.  But I want some old rivalries back, some actions that make people really want to be a part of this.  I used to run on a platform of wanting to bring energy to the game that is was lacking, but now I just want to get the same old people excited again. 

I mean afterall even the PiT/HW ticket was my brainchild

If it means pursuing personal vendetta's again we can do without that thank you!

I agree with Franzl. I find the idea of a Council of Governors abhorrent (Governors alread have a role; as governors) but should one be introduced, regional Senators would have to be abolished.

Well I don't oppose the CoG per se. The role of governor today is largely irrelevant...and personally, I wouldn't have any interest in becoming Governor.

And if we truly went to an entirely at-large Senate, that'd contribute to making Senate elections more interesting, and also add an interesting element to the game by having legislation pass through two hurdles.

My concern would be having a CoG above the Senate. I would prefer a lower house passing bills up.

Make them equal in powers.

I certainly don't think they should be equal in power. Very few bicameral systems internationally have houses with equal power; they have different powers and responsibilities. Any set-up we have should be the same.

PRESS RELEASE

The office of Fmr. Sen. DownWithTheLeft would like to confirm at this time that the former senator is a candidate for the at-large seat being vacated by incoming VP BaconKing.  The former senator has cited a recent spike in anti-regions activity as well as the resignation of Gov. Duke, whom he considers one of his closest ally in Atlasia, as reasons for coming back.  He welcomes the support of all those wishing to return Atlasia to prosperity.  An official campaign kick-off can be expected later this week.

Explain?

I have been informed that the ConCon is seeking to eliminate regions

It's been up for discussion...in the same way that it has been up for discussion for the past few months when you were here and part of the Convention Nothing has changed.
