The House of Lords Alliance

Edit;
Original post removed, it's now in the other forum.

 

There's not really an "in house discussion" area for discussing sensitive material.

 

Spuddy just left GATO. Spuddy just turned Black. Spuddy just went HoL. Spuddy is happy.

 

Hey, once you go black, you never have to talk to the brown guys again.

 

Because they ain't black like me, right?

 

Sho 'nuff!

 

Senators? Electors? That sort of thing, you mean?

Reminds me a bit of the dreaded pirate Black Barty, who had a House of Lords (rly) among his crew; these guys apparently had all the votes (or more than one each) when it came to councils and such.

 

Having a elite that votes sounds like a great way to scare recruits away.

Better then to subtly edit the polls.

 

Hmm...then I misunderstood "members". I thought it meant all members of the forum, and not just members of the alliance.

 

I can read there too. But I guess members mean people you want to have reading your posts.

 

It's too much like how the Romans did things. Are we The House of Lords, or The House of Over-paid, Under-achieving, Slack-jawed Elders**?
I hate the government the US has right now, and I'd like to get what we do as far from it as possible. By instating a democracy. Everyone does get a say, and it won't be the sole decision of those with the most power to choose what's best for the alliance. I mean, sure, the plebs and their votes probably won't matter, but they're what makes an alliance strong. Piss off a bunch of plebs and you have a riotous mutiny.

**Wow...I didn't really expect it to come out as The HOUSE.

 

While every member of the alliance will be able to vote (which I personally agree with), do note that higher ranked members have more votes than lower ranking ones (for example a baron has more votes than a lord).

 

I understand that part, and agree with it. I just don't agree with the council of elders as suggested by Xz.
