Soren Johnson on Democracy Games

[Ginger_Ale]

If Succession Games are modeled after rotating dictators, Democracy Games intend to model the chaotic politics of a modern democracy. These games are often played by over a hundred individuals, voting on various important issues and electing representatives to make the little decisions. Both single-player and multi-player Democracy Games have been run – with the latter version being conducted by teams running their little governments in closed, secretive forums. Rumors fly that some may have even abandoned “democracy” altogether!

I thought it was known fact, not just a rumor

He was clearly referring to General_W and Chamnix usurping both the Domestic Ministry and Presidency from the sovereignty of the MIA people over the past 100+ turns...

Obviously, if fewer people were MIA, thing would have gone differently

Democracy?
