Voter Registration
#2

I prefer a citizen/registered voter naming convention over a citizen/registered citizen one (which is nonsensical). But the idea of there being no continued activity requirements is also nonsensical.

We need to actually be clear about what we’re trying to build here. You guys get far too caught up in abstracts that don’t ever matter. We want an active player base. We want a legislature that is *actually here* to write laws and be a check on the other branches of government. We want the people voting in our elections to positively contribute to the game, to be active constituents for the people elected.

If you aren’t striving for that, what the hell are we doing here? What’s the purpose of amassing 500 “registered voters” when only 25 of them are active participants? Just a desire to mimic real life law, regardless if it makes sense for the game?

The notion that this would do anything other than balloon the Assembly with uninformed non-contributors *who will certainly still vote, because you are going to constantly ping them and remind them and beg them to do so*, is just wrong. We have a decade of proof that it’s wrong.
