Just an idea

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-07-08, 11:19 AM

I was thinking today, after playing this cool little game called 'Democracy 2' that a good way to perhaps allow people to understand our political views would be to have a mock election involving Subsim members (dont kill me yet)

This is just an idea, but I think it'd be fun to go up against people and try to get some votes from other members in a couple of polls and see who really can grasp the hearts and minds of the people

The only downside though is that it'd need to be moderated quite a bit (so no Hitlers or whatever :rotfl

What d'you think? Interested?

Heh heh heh, I can see STEED getting up there on his podium for a fifteen day seminar on abolishing political correctness

Worth a bash, I probably won't take too active a part, I'm already running a country on a nation sim (Qpawn) but I will certainly read through peoples election manifestos.

Skybird as Paxman...gotta admit, that's not an angle I'd considered before, or did you mean PMQT?

Well it wouldnt be PMQT until the polls came back, but I can see ol' Birdy as Paxman, yeah.

"So what are your views on this?"
"Well, I.."
"But what are your views?"
"I'm trying to.."
"I think you better calm down."

We must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
