Honestly, I thought this game was gonna be about having to wear a silly hat when you throw a prime number with your dice or something, and not about establishing a constitution.
Coz what are we gonna do when the constitution is established? What is the future of the Game? We are not a society that needs distribution of wealth and goods and there is no returning cycle of any kind that justifies an authority presiding over the corrct carrying out of cyclical tasks, like collecting taxes after the harvest or counting the points after making a trick in a card game. In a place where time does not exist, like here and now, there is no need for Rules.
So what there will need to exist as soon as one of us gets into power, is, like in every good game, a cycle where everybody knows what phase of the game is up.
In my system, there is a system of offices distributed every day, but even that is a bit silly. The only purpose of the offices is to entertain themselves, to keep themselves in power. There needs to be an actual game taking place besides the Rules, otherwise it’s just having Rules for the Rules’ sake.
Well, that’s nice… 3 votes for Leira, 3 votes for PiggyStardust, 2 votes for Sanonius. So Sanonius is eliminated, but the alternative votes were both blank.
So we have a tie between Leira and PiggyStardust. Hence no frolicker has been selected.
The problem is that this is a form of how political discourse becomes polarising: the central party (Sanonius) would be the choice most people would be fine with, yet since the fringe parties (Leira, Piggy) got more votes, the central party ended up losing.
Your proposal suggest discarding the party most people would have least problems with, and instead making it a 2-party election between the two extremes.
What we should do is negotiate a compromise with @Sanonius. That is to say, our agendas must now become more friendly to Sanonius voters.
However, doing something other than what was stated in the rules of the poll can potentially be worse, because both NLP and OGS-K voters would cry that it was a sham election.
Well, since I’m going to bed and there are still only 4 votes I’ll close it tomorrow morning so that more people can see it. Good night (or day) everyone!
