Thoughts on the Senate?

[Anders]

I'm curious to find out what you guys think about the Senate and how it works, what you hope to see with it and what your complaints are about it.

 

Constructive criticism please and thank you

people that roleplay the senate are at a disconnect with the unique issues plaguing the community imo, thus you see agendas you'd see in a normal, functioning state and not shit like stop and frisk or other stuff that'd make sense in the context of what's going on the server

[books]

i'm someone who pays attention to it but isn't really involved and i'd say that it adds a lot of depth to the server, the people involved are very committed to it and because my main character reports on some of the things that happen within it, i'm glad it exists in its current form

 

its only weakness is that it can't make server altering changes because it's limited by ifm/lfm but i understand why that restriction is in place, having witnessed governments on gta rp servers styled after the roman empire (real ones know)...

say what you will about 2014 spqr gov but it was dope.

also, yes. senate's meant to be able to change things instead of being forced to make nonsensical bills that have zero impact on any character on the server for the sake of just roleplaying the process and justifying a senate seat.

legalize weed already.

What did I do? Also I’d rather not be called “it” I’m a real person with thoughts and feelings thank you.

Love the concept, quit following it straight away after noticing it doesn't have creative freedom and is restricted by management. Understandable or not, it made it less interesting to follow or to care about. Its just background noise unfortunately. Would've loved to see it different.

does the senate have any power here really? most big changing proposals have been shut down OOC by management. plus LFM suspended the new election for unknown reasons.. too much OOC interference for such area.

Basically why I never follow any politic roleplay, in the end most of the ideas and changes are VETO'd by management.

the senate is extremely unrealistic as things can actually pass through this senate unlike the real life one
