Pingu Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sorry to see you step away from democracy. It can work very well. But it's hard, so I understand your reasoning. Good luck in this reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirreille Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 You know what would be even more fun? Keep your triums but put a democratically appointed leader above them. I don't know if it would work, but it definitely would be more fun. Change is good, so enjoy the new system UPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ilyani Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 [quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1293895374' post='2560072'] He was UPN government before leaving to form his own alliance. He also has pretty significant government-level experience in other alliances as well. [/quote] Yeah, I was thinking it was part of the merger terms too. It's a good step forward for UPN, getting all those members out into Peggysus and then paving the way for a good government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kae Lee Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 [quote name='Altheus' timestamp='1293891363' post='2560032'] Democracy hasn't served UPN well in the past, since elected government has sadly proven over the years to be just as vulnerable to self-interest. [/quote] [quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1293895374' post='2560072'] He was UPN government before leaving to form his own alliance. [/quote] That statement in this announcement is just hilarious Altheus. As for UPN being a democracy in the past, elected officials governed by a dictator is not a democracy - which explains at least one of your splinters.

King John Philos Vi Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) and that was how UPN limped on, for a time. They assimilated a new alliance and were slightly fueled to continue their absent-minded desire to fail harder than any other alliance on Bob. The alliance that was divided into two (UPN and Peggysus) provided twice the lols for us all.

Lurunin Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 question about this though...how exactly would new triums come into power? if a position was opened, would it have to be a 2/3 "majority" appointment to replace? same with if 2 triums left instead, would it just resort back to a dictatorship?
