conservative (kn-sûrv-tv)
adj.

1: resistant to change
2: avoiding excess


This group is primarily concerned with the following items:
  • Resist unnecessary rule changes and additions to preserve a minimalist ruleset.
  • Retention of the power of the people and resistance against additional specified powers in the government.
  • Promotion of a cooperative environment.
To that effect the members of the group are expected to perform watchdog duties for abuses to those items and notify the group in this thread.

We will discuss and evaluate proposed legislation and do our best to frame viable legislation in a minimalist manner.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we will work together as a group to show that a cooperative environment without huge overhead is not only possible but preferred. Discourse, tradition and compromise will be our watchwords.

I'll sign up for this one too (inspite of my initial misgivings at the name) since I heartily agree with these aims :D
 
Aside from the scary name I would like to join too.;)
 
Sign me up, please.
 
I suggest the first order of business be opposition to any attempt to establish polling regulations until it has been shown that leniency is being abused.
 
I'm in. Although this group wouldn't be my idea of a great group in RL, this isn't RL. The DG needs to be simple ;)
 
Since I am new to the Demogame some of the subtleties escape me. However, as far as I can see regarding polls, we should anounce that there is going to be one and that it is open from x until y. Then we all vote and the result is posted. It is the responsibility of the citizens to vote so any result should be valid. If only 10 people vote then shame on the those who didnt. Those who did not vote have no right to complain if the result isn't what they wanted.

I hope that rant isnt too harsh
:)
 
@Plexus & naervod: Welcome to the group. :D

@eyrei - I agree. The discussion thread in question is here.

@Peri - Absolutely. So long as the pollsters use common sense there's really no need for poll legislation. The only real problem in the poll area that I've seen is when new folk come in with more excitement than restraint and post polls without quite knowing the situation well enough. If this group works to help those folks (and encourage the rest of the players to do the same) I don't see any reason to make rules on how to post a poll.
