A Modest Proposal

[DemPGH]

I think it's a good plan - I in fact wondered how two regions might work, and I think that looks great. I personally favor either doing away with the G.M. or at the very least limiting the G.M. to RL events. It is the only position in the entire game for which there is no RL equivalent, and I honestly think it's just too much. The office technically holds a degree of power that I think most folks just find unbelievable, and I also think the focus should be in-game stuff. And for those reasons I favor axing the G.M. or dramatically redefining the office to something more life like and realistic.

But we have to do something, and I think this deserves to put on the table as a serious alternative. I think if we had got the ball rolling on this much earlier we might have staved off the last bout of chaos and retained some folks.

Other folks have suggested doing away with either the federal government or the regions. Doing away with the regions would probably bring us too close to a parliamentary structure, and indeed I don't know what's going on over there because I haven't checked in a while. It was still in the very early stages a week ago or so. But two parliamentary games wouldn't be a good idea.

Of course, who knows. A lot of good people have left and we have sock puppets, etc.
