I did exactly what I wanted to with mine, which was take the newer and mix it with the older. I based the whole thing off of the DG5 constitution, added acouple of articles, and re-formatted the whole thing.

Not much more to say about it, it's a slightly modified version of the Tradational Constitution.
 
MY proposal is pretty much up to Striders, from where I took his proposal, changed the preamble somewhat. I also factored in the Vice President in a more central position as Prime Minister, and made the past deputies a new position as operational level directors and the traditional ministers to become strategic planners in each their Department.

This proposal will allow strategic-tactical planning regardless of fluctuations in turnchat lenghts, and has merged the powers of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as well as Science and Culture. More so it has also divided the Domestic Ministry into one controlling the slider and money and one focussing on the national infrastructure.

We also see the formation of Colonial Office, which will be the vehicle for expansion.
This proposal has also taken account of the more painful experiences seen in the Forbidden Palace debacle, and placed this special responsibility with the minister of finance. Finally, this proposal will give the governors part of the income from the province via a National Trade Tax.
 
Public polling on the constitution? That's as bad as public election polling...
 
i liked Striders because he/she had the most resembling government to DG5 but not almost the same.
 
I still believe that Alternative Government proposal is the best to use for DG6. We're entering new territory with the use of C3C, and thus this is an excellent oppertunity to introduce a new government structure. It's a workable, new system that gives us an oppertunity to completely reinvent our democracy game, and it's an oppertunity we need to take.
 
Strider's alternative government appeals to me the most :).

actually its not an alternate government... its just a modified DG5 constitution...
 
How is this going to be scored? There are 4 alteratives from minor changes to new structure. dgv, strider's modifed dg5, provolution's heavily modified dg5, and daveshack's new strategic and tactical offices. Currently the voting is:
1 to 5 to 2 to 4. Or split right down the middle if a spectrum approach is taken.

We need this stated up front what it takes to win this election as it as been highly contentious and I wouldn't want to see it a subject for endless debate.

the only real alternative is DaveShack's plan... The others are just Dg5 modified a little or in some cases alot
 
This is the reason that mock polls are used for Constitutional issues. These polls should be worked and refined to show the true essance of the issue, not scatter-gun votes all over the place.

Well, I think she made this trying more to collect information, rather than actually polling the constitution.

I hope this isn't the "final" poll, because my version is not completed. There is still many strands left to piece together and several articles that need to be better written.
 
I would also like to know how this will be interpreted since right now there is a plurality of 7 votes for DS's plan but 10 votes for something similar to the traditional Gov't

Not really... Provululations is an alternative also. What he basicly did was take his ideas from the alternative government and mix it with my ideas from the tradational.

His is basicly the mix between the alternative and tradational.
 
I voted for Provolution's version.

Only skim-read all of them, but I think the "more perfect union" would be to use Provolutions as the main body, but optimize it with DaveShack's quad-tier pragmatism (Strategic / Tactical / Admin / and Designated Game (monkey) ).

IMO it should just be the winner, i know the poll isnt all that fair but if we are going to weight votes in a spectrum that better be posted in the poll narrative... otherwise many people would vote differently...
 
I've got the feeling this poll is very final, given that all discussion on the topic has ended in a very conclusive manner. We could always have a runoff if, overall, people are unsatisfied with plurality rule on this important subject.
 
I think this should be a multiple choice on what people could live with.
