Who thinks that we should have some sort of Government on the server? The idea just came across my mind earlier and I am interested to see what you lovely folks have to say.

Sounds interesting, but in what terms exactly do you mean? What would be the function of the government? Would it just be for show or would it be the whole hog with legislation of new rules, and general elections and such?

I'd also like to know this.

Imagine splitting the server up into constituencies...

I think it's a cool idea, but I'm with Piix and SeeBread. Figure out the mechanics and I think you might be onto something.

Also, would give us something to build. Every city could have a civic building for councils, etc.

If we can get a good non-abusive system going I would like to see this.

So who can think of a fun system that won't result in abuse? X)

I think it would be fun to have some form of Government / Power, but I'm afraid that complete anarchy would ensue if we cocked it up...

Yeah... And it can't be too complicated, or people will just get annoyed.
So, do we have parties? Or does each town constitute a party?

Agreed, Piixel will just continue on as our abusive king. He should tax us until we cant afford bread... Then we will get cake!

We cannot just simply overthrow Piixel's position as a benevolent dictator!


...or can we?
