vp congress

This is an important vote as it decides how easy it will be to make major changes to Vox Populi's game balance. Please read everything below and think carefully about this decision. Remember to vote for ALL options you would be happy with. EDIT: Your vote here matters, but I will be using my...

Welcome to VP Congress Session #6! We have quite an agenda this session! Yet, somehow after all those proposals, we ended up with fewer proposal threads than last time! Funny how that works out. :crazyeye: There were notably a lot of counterproposals this session, so expect a lot of different...

Proposals are renumbered throughout the Proposal, Counterproposal, and Sponsorship Phases, as well as immediately prior to the Voting Phase. This is because proposers often get the numbering wrong and skip numbers (or create multiple proposals with the same numbers), and because proposals get...

This concerns the recently added [Database] [DLL] [UI] [Complex] [Artwork] thread prefixes. I think they may be visually distracting. They're useful for the Sponsorship Phase, but aren't needed until then, so I can remove them from the threads if the community desires. Thoughts? As usual, vote...

Hey all, Welcome to Session #6 of the Vox Populi Congress. As of tomorrow (October 1), we have reached the first anniversary of the Vox Populi Congress system. It's come so far already! It's also stress-tested and highly functional. I hope most people are happy with it! :) Thanks again to...

ATTENTION POPULI Listing or calling people out by name to analyze, criticize or insult their vote choices on proposals (unless the person brings up their vote choice themselves first, in which case polite debate is allowed) is not cool. Don't do it please and thank you. The reason the voting is...

Hey all, The VP Congress Guide has been updated, and this should be the last major update; I believe I have accounted for all of the problems that were encountered since the last time I updated. I encourage you all to read it, as it covers everything I'm going to summarize below and more...

Hey all, I thought it would be good to have a dedicated thread to brainstorm/develop ideas for future Vox Populi Congress proposals. Post ideas here and others in the community can give feedback on them, or you can work together. You might also want to use the Discord server or create your own...

Hi! As part of the next VP Congress rework, this thread has been added to keep track of members of the community who have the ability and willingness to sponsor proposals. To sponsor proposals in VP Congress sessions, you will have to be registered on this thread. If you would like to be added...

Voting is now open for Session #4 of the Vox Populi Congress! Due to the complexity of some of the votes, it was requested that I give a reminder of how to vote: Due to a delay in setup, the Voting Phase has been extended to give everyone 7 days of voting time. The remainder of May thereafter...

Hi everyone, Version 3.0 of the Vox Populi Congress Guide is now live: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/vox-populi-congress-guide.678962/ Sessions will now take place quarterly per the community vote, and the rules have been simplified significantly. We are now in the Implementation...

Following the update to the VP Congress schedule, several people have suggested that VP Congress sessions should happen 4 times per year instead of 6 times per year. I've decided to leave this decision up to the community. In true VP Congress fashion, you can vote for either option, or for both...

Voting is now open for Session #3 of the Vox Populi Congress! Sorry again for the delay. The Voting Phase has been extended to give everyone 7 days of voting time. The remainder of February thereafter will be a cooldown period. Session #4 will begin on March 1. Ratification Votes are no longer...

Hey everyone, First, I'm sorry for my absence. The electricity and heating in my home broke down and I had a lot of missed work to catch up on. I will be starting the Voting Phase for Session #3 tonight and extending it to ensure there are 7 days of voting time. Second, thank you for your...

Hey everyone, Please stop referencing proposal numbers in threads when discussing balance. For example, saying "if 2-45 passes, then this balance element will be affected too". This is because proposal numbers will change as proposals are vetoed, withdrawn, edited, or not sponsored, and anyone...

The Vox Populi Congress Guide has been amended to include all of my changes based on your feedback and my own observations. Please read it carefully. This should hopefully cover all the problems and edge case situations which arose during the pilot test of the system. Fingers crossed that it...

If you notice an error in this post, please send me (@Recursive) a message by conversation. Status Meaning Responsibility CANCELLED The changes will not be implemented. Sponsor, Host (depends on reason) QUEUED The work for these changes is incomplete (or not yet started) and still...

This thread summarizes and records the results of each Vox Populi Congress session. Proposals which were vetoed (VT), withdrawn (WD) or not sponsored (NS) prior to the session's Voting Phase will not be listed here; they can be viewed in the Failed Proposals subforum. Valid votes (from users...

Hey everyone, Sorry for the radio silence on my part, I've been busy both with the new release and with juggling a large number of real life responsibilities. There have been considerable delays in getting the next version (version 3.0) out, but I believe the players will greatly enjoy the...

Now that the voting phase is underway and all proposals are posted, I would like to reach out to the community. What do you think of the new VP Congress System? Note: If you're having trouble seeing all of the proposals, you can filter using the [Vote] prefix and sort by title, as shown here...
