It might do TSP some good to add a little humor to a process that's typically dictated by those who can throw the most piss at each other in these threads.

Does it really add humour though? Gives a laugh for the first 5 seconds and then makes everything the Assembly does afterwards look satirical.

I would agree it's not the best way to add some lightheartedness. I would go for the more nonsensical, babbling type route personally. This goof would look like a norm compared to the things I would propose, if this community had such a sense about it (not that it's bad that it doesn't).

Aside from that though, I do think it's a little silly to think that people would not be capable of perceiving the actions of the Assembly, which has "real", "tangible" effects on the region, as "serious" because of a spoof of a role name. That's just a tad exaggerated, I reckon.

Yeah I feel like funny and cute is way different from satirical. I like could Google the definitions of each but I'm not too bothered because like life is chill.

Wouldn't this be too "funny and cute" that other regions might think of us as a complete goofball?

Dear Spenty,

I think other regions would think, "Wow TSP doesn't give a flaming fruitcake what we think. More power to them. Let's follow their lead and join the cool kids."

Sometimes I think...this is a game and a mostly fun community...other times I think...this is a game and a mostly fun community.

I respect your opinion on this but I just think that even a change of name would affect our government's credibility.

It's not actually. Yeah changing the wording to Llamaslator would look cute and would lighten up the assembly, but I believe that it isn't right to make a legitimate government look cute. Again we're not a role-playing government so I don't think that it fits in here.

Except that any government in NationStates is entirely roleplay. I can see why people wouldn't want this change, but I have to say, some of the reasoning as to why throughout this thread is pretty exaggerated and whacked-out.
