Liberty Goverment?

[chovynz]

Edit: In addition, we should all be aware of that. As such making negative statements about a government model is a bit pointless. It is akin to a person with no arms making fun of a person with no legs for not having legs and then the person with no legs makes fun of the person with no arms for not having arms.

Yes I'm aware of this. What I was trying to say to Zigeris is this.

I think trying to run an actual democratic Government in the non-dynamics of how Freelancer
operates and is set up, when the government would only put out laws, but has no actual involvement
in the game is a bit pointless. There are benefits to setting up the Gov. but from where I'm sitting the
hard work and potential stress to come from setting up the Gov. far outweigh any possible benefits.

What I asked the Z-man was "what is his actual issue with the current setup", seeing as it does work fine
currently. I think - and this is just speculation, without proof - that Zigeris has come acropper of something,
didn't like the result and wants to have a say in how things are run. Which is jealousy, and if that is his
motive for wanting to set up the Gov. then that is the wrong motive.

Again, I dont see the point in setting up Senators, Mayors, and provincial leaders, when those positions
would only be a forum RP "nicety," with no real ingame value. Freelancer is geared towards PVP. It isn't
geared towards even the simplistic RP that we do, however we manage and we get by with the frustrations.

Setting up a political body of people to act as the Government of Liberty, would only be a waste peoples
time, unless those people actually can do the job and act as the Government. And frankly, with the time
that the people would have to put into being the Government, and with the disagreements already displayed
on the forums, I just don't see it happening, unless people learn to loosen up and allow other styles of
Roleplay to come into the game.

In a sense, we the forum people are already doing this job. If we have a problem then we squawk
on the forums until things change. So why bring another set of redundant offices into being?

In closing, I think it's a good idea and would like to see it happen, but in the current forum
environment and for the sake of time involvement, I don't see it happening.
