Official Petition to Call a Constitutional Convention

I support this, and I think it would be good precursor to or barometer for a reset or reboot, depending upon how far we want to go with that. But at a minimum, this is needed. I hope that it would get people talking and interested in a new vision for Atlasia, ideally. And if not, it's pragmatic because we realize that we have a lot of issues and problems with the current constitution.

I think a new Con-Con will give people an incentive to shape what has become a fairly stale game with stale proceedings into something new and hopefully more exciting.

Also, there is the fact that the current constitution has a number of inconsistencies and even contradictions as well as twenty-five or so amendments, some of which I guess have not been entered.

I think it's time for a new concept of what the game should be, and we need not distrust each other in shaping it! Surely conservatives will agree that things are pretty dry.

Here's another way to say it. Look, I don't think that a new constitution will create more activity anymore than a new edition of the NFL Rule Book would bring more people out to play football. It's silly to think that.

The constitution is old, cluttered, and in places contradictory or vague. If nothing else, we can clean all that up and maybe, just maybe use the process to create a new government and a new game. So the worst is we get a cleaner, tighter constitution out of it.

Hey, folks, I've been in the Pacific. I've stood by that region. Do you know how many people in the last six months have come and gone? Tons. It's because they get bored and there's minimal activity. The nature of the game appeals to them, but it's just boring.

Ultimately, if people don't want the change, we won't have it, but keep an open mind and keep on keepin' on, people.

This is really a golden opportunity to make not only the text of the constitution better, but to greatly improve and reform a game that has become very stale for a lot of people. The latter part will surely be tougher, but the first part need not be: We're approaching 30 amendments and there is a great deal open to interpretation as well as imagination in the current text.
