The use of Discord

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Be against or not, this is for the region to decide what is acceptable and how to operate. The national constitutional convention didn't even want to decide for regions how to select Senators, it was for more autonomy for regions, not having the federal government make rules for all and let regions craft their own identity and experiment. The federal government should stick to its own business and let regions run their things.

Oh I fully agree, I fully support the right of the region's citizens to march into town with torches and axes in hand out of righteous indignation.

Granted I skimmed the thread, but I fail to see a push for federal intervention.

Edit: I see what you are referring to now.

This is why we should switch to a federal parliament!

I would point out similar has occurred in both the pre-reset unicameral Senate and post-reset Congress.

Centralism is no antidote, it is a recipe for making it worse with less recourse though.

Yankee I'm willing to bet dfw is memeing.

Also, dear god how'd this become an argument?  It should be obvious that we legislate on the government page

No offense, Yankee, but why do you persist on associating parliamentarism with centralism? Surely you don't believe federalism is incompatible with a parliamentary system?

I am not memeing I actually think we should have a parliament

Damnit, I hate when I miss a bunch of good fights!

Anyway, don't blame the platform, blame the users. There will always be demand for a way to communicate more effectively (and privately) outside the boundaries of the game, especially since we're operating predominantly on a forum that is pushing 20 years old. I'm sure if this is still around a decade from now, Discord will have been replaced by something else. Just like Discord replaced IRC, IRC replaced RPPForums et al, etc.

Still holds true, just replace "IRC" with the channel du jour and "Napoleon" with whoever is Machiavelli:

I thought he meant in place of the regional gov'ts.

It depends on how you structure it. It doesn't give me comfort the primary leading example cited is a unitary state.

Also lots of experience. Enough to know the true threat to the regions comes in the form of death by a thousand paper cuts via a bunch of small bills passed federally, which over time suck up all the pie and leave nothing of interest for the regions to chew on.
