So I hear [LIA] got rejected from having a say in Liberty Government.
Full disclosure: I don't like LIA. They abandon you in fights, cloak away when dry in snub fights, play buddies with enemies and do all sorts of random stuff that isn't very compatible with my gameplay. I made fun of them on many occasions as many of you know. But I think when a closed circle of friends can vote a new OF out of a say in a government it's time to fight for LIA's rights and avoid this dangerous precedent.
Lore-wise it doesn't make much sense for military generals to sit on a government anyways. But we need someone to do it. So we have OF representatives instead from army etc. I think it's very bizarre then that the existing members have the power of a self-serving vote of keeping a new official out of the government.
It no longer is a representation of lawful factions in the house, it becomes an arbitrary group of buddies that can vote others out in their own self-interest
I propose the solutions A) TAKE AWAY GOVS FROM PLAYERS AND BACK TO STORY DEVS AND GMs
- there would be fairness
- they would make in-lore sense
- their behavior would be coherent with story progression
- big negative: Less frequent posts and updates
B) MAKE OFFICIAL LAWFUL FACTION INCLUSION AUTOMATIC
- This will prevent an arbitrary group of people doing what they want in their circle.
P.S. Suggestions were made like
- discussions and votes should also be publicly viewable by everyone. To prevent government voting be influenced by posts like "ha ha this is gonna screw over x player so bad they will be furious
- include unlawfulls into oorp discussions
etc.
EDIT: Credit to @Karlotta for the above suggestions
