This and anything else could work, but yes, you have to be in charge of the change yourself, if you're able to maintain it properly, then people would (probably) switch. Or not, and OT gets a denizen schism.Patatitta wrote:
Proposals doesn't work
I'm not the only person to claim that the denizenship system needs a change, so, a lot of people in the past have made proposals, however, these are almost never implemented, a lot of people just make proposals when there is drama, which almost always happen when a denizen is elected, then, people talk about the proposal, and then it just stays there, never acted on
so, the only way that apparently works to change the system is, to either take the government, and then make a radical change to denizenship, something that would be hard to pull and very polemic, or, to just force the change yourself, make a new system that you believe it's better, and not even propose it first, just, doing it. This is what I have done
of course, not me or anyone else have the power to actually reform the denizen thread, so we're forced to make a different system, with a different name, and just pray that your idea and thread will outlast the original denizenship.
The most difficult thing as it happens isn't making people accept the change, but initiating it yourself.
I like the idea of eras being tied to years, some fringe cases could be solved on case-by-case basis. The system itself works as an alternative modification to generations, as generations are almost always span over multiple years anyway and an "era" doesn't cancel out generations.
