Hello my fellow members of our esteemed parliment!
As our game begins, I want to get a chance to get our general agenda out there, so you can figure what to expect from me and the CSP this term. I also want to talk about some serious gameplay issues, and what we can do to fix them.
What do we plan to do? Our budget overview is just about finished, and we should be ready to make it public in the next day or two (I'm just about finished with my move, which will allow me to work on this more). For this term, we want to:
* Establish our military
* set up the basic infastrucutre for our country...its government departments, some basic programs, etc. We'll take care of some of the dirty work, so other terms will go by a little easier
* a comprehensive education bill that will establish our schools as world class
* bills to begin to address how we'll deal with health care
However, we have some serious gameplay issues I want to talk about.
First, voting. I dont know about the rest of you guys, but this current process...where we have a guy post a half-assed bill that gets revised every 4 posts, and then everybody endorcing, un-endorcing, changing their votes...its unrealisitc, unprofessional, and really hard to keep track of. Plus, bill plagerisim might become an issue.
I implore you all, THINK BEFORE YOU MAKE A BILL. talk about it with your other party members...do some research..try to think of exceptions, and then write how you'll fix them. The better the intial quality of the legislation, the better our game will go.
Also, I implore you, if you dont know how you';re going to vote, dont vote yet. Wait until after you've read more arguements. Dont go ABSTAIN...YEA...NAY...YEA...ABSTAIN. im having trouble following the development of bills with all of this.
Finally, if you know some conservatives, invite them to play. The issue I am most worried about is competitive ballance. A lot of CPers quit, and thats really what sunk model parliment the last time. If at first you dont sucseed, quitting the game isnt the issue.
Finally, im getting word that some people dont have a whole lot of confidence in our GMs. If this situation is not resolved soon, I plan on taking action
Thanks everybody. lets have a good term
