Literally more things were done by gov last year than in the 4 year prior, like remaking denizen and reviving it since it had died during previous gov, gmt report form etc.IAMACROBA wrote:

i think ymir is correct, nobody likely read the thread. the idea of the parliament and government and presidency and all of that died when nothing happened. nobody became denizen for months on end. we lost consistency and the only way people are going to care is if we carefully give people a second chance and pray someone will do something about the state of everything.
we can call shit undemocratic or democratic or whatever but honestly i dont think people much care
The last 2 years I’ve been in OT for, damn near nothing has happened since ghoulybits left and whoever the last forgettable president was didn’t do much to keep people entertained.
I hope you guys figure something out that works instead of bickering.
We need change, bad.

previous was EBLF who did became very inactive, in fact they never even held parliament elections and it was the previous parliament who truly got everything done, but yes, I do agree that it killed momentum hard.IAMACROBA wrote:

Okay, Patatitta, I sincerely apologize for confusing you with EBLF, and should EBLF read this someday, I do not think of you poorly, just your presidency.
Karmine, thank you for correcting me.
I would like to help in whatever way I can, but I first need to read up on the history and current changes of the government and all of that, but I will keep my eye on this thread for the time being.

about phase 2, will the questions be released in "batches" on a daily basis, similar to the last election or will they be released immediately when whitelisted?
Yeah eblf is cool, but he was completely useless as president lol.IAMACROBA wrote:

Following the rule of cool I would accept Corne regardless of any principle because it will make the elections more interesting to follow.
Well I know one thing for sure - Patatitta is not going to be the next president
In fact you can preemptively remove yourself from the candidates list. It would be a miracle if you obtain more than half a vote.
I expect the next president to make some VERY specific executive changes

To be clear I dont support the GMT cant run for president nor that older innactive denizens cant vote, but accept it for what it is. If I and other denizens sat on our asses while these rules were passed and did nothing about it, we deserve this consequence. I can always undermine this election and run my own without those restrictions and I'm sure everybody else would agree that would be better, but performing what is basically a cheat code in this rp game is no fun
would be hella weird if potato man does win second presidency tho ( ._.)
at the end it does piss off a lot of other people (some beyond rp for whatever reason), so entirely up to you. But your chances are pretty much numbered
That's basically what you're doing by pushing him to change the election rules established and accepted by the government (including gmt) after the elections started just so corne can be candidate.abraker wrote:

1- Being the type of person who would manipulate votes
2- Being the type of person who would cherrypick question
3- Being a liar and banning GMT because I dislike corne in specific
4- Being someone who post ragebait
5- Removing the denizen requirement because I'm trying to win the election by unfair means
6- Recontextualizing what I did last year, presenting it like it's the first time I do it and that i'm trying to steal the election whatever whatever
7- Having people make up bullshit about the conversations that happened in discord
And now you come in and backstab me like that after you totally didn't show that attitude over discord yesterday?, yes, i'm fucking heated, but am I wrong?, am I a fucking closeminded asshole for doing this?, am I wrong in feeling angry because of suddenly being framed as this awful person?, has the years of actively posting in OT and building a good relationship with most of people here meant NOTHING?, I am actually devastated. I talked earlier about how the reason I didn't backtrack earlier was because of my pride, that I wanted to clear my name. But now i've been forced to back down, which in a way feels like claiming admission of all these awful claims
And then you now go "noooooooooo you were not meant to back down it's not as fun that way", i'm sorry but if this was rp, if this was a game, I'm not having fun, this is actually just being awful for me.
I don't want to go down as the "Stalin of OT", that was never my goal and I thought I was in the right path not do that. But now it seems that is going to be the case, because I guess nothing I did all these years mattered at all.
Fuck all of you, for real.
Beyond the playing the "The potato commited the political suicide" card, it was never my intention to use my GMT power to force that change. It was my intention to use my status as GMT, as a group I am part of, a group that lost rights in this government, to wield a sword against him.Karmine wrote:

Yet there is a fine gray line there because it doesn't sit will it other GMT, especially Corne, who can cause actually tension in the gov. With GMT holding the actual power, it understandably scares the potato.

The reason you can't be candidate is because all the power the president and gov has is given by the GMT, the GMT are part of the government but also always above it.
Corne trying so hard to remove that bit of power from regular users by being president himself is just weird.

I will say that I feel a lot of sympathy for potato.
I think some people have said things that go way beyond the scope of RP, even if it wasn't their intention to do so.
RP just simply isn't fun when people use it as an opportunity to be cruel to one another on a personal level.

OT! Elections 2025
Welcome to the yearly OT! Elections, where we decide a new president, all rules and phases of the election will be explained down below.something else________________________
What does the president do?
The role of OT!President gives you the ability to push a variety of changes in OT, as long as the GMTs and parliament agree with it. Some examples of actions a president can do is locking/unlocking threads, exiling users, pinning/unpinning threads, etc. You're also given control of certain OT institutions such as denizen.Who can participate?
- Any OT member who is included in OT!Eras 2024 can vote, including GMTs, electoral candidates, and current parliament members.
- Any non-GMT member who is included in OT!Eras 2024 can register to be a electoral candidate. The reason why GMTs are NOT included is because they're already part of the gov. So having a GMT be a president would just cause a dictatorship, as no separation of powers between gov and gmt would exist.
- Self voting is allowed, as honestly it wouldn't change much, the metagame would be just to not vote if you can't vote for yourself and I don't like that so self-voting allowed everyone votes for themselves it's like we didn't have a vote to begin with.
- If you're a GMT but aren’t part of OT!Eras 2024, you can't vote.
Phase One:
During this phase anyone who meets the previous requirements can register to be a presidential candidate. Just write "I register for president" or something along those lines, as long as you properly communicate that you want to be a president it works. If I miss someone please go to my house and scream at me (just tell me in the thread or dms or anywhere)
This phase will last a week. If you missed this phase, you can no longer apply for president, sorry buddy!
Also, to expedite the process of the elections, you already may start privately submitting questions for phase 2 if you wished to do so.
SUBMIT QUESTIONS
READ QUESTIONSPhase Two:
This is the interview/debate phase. Everyone may submit questions, be it publicly in the phase two thread, or anonymously, by writing the question on a automated google form/sheet that will be linked on the OP. After that, if your question isn't a complete shitpost, it will be added to a list in the phase two thread. Every presidential candidate must answer to every single whitelisted question. Their answers will also be noted in the OP.
The thread last 7 days, however, the period for uploading mandatory questions only last 6. That is because it a question were to be whitelisted last minute there may be people who may not have the chance to answer leading to a dq which would feel pretty bad. You may still ask questions during that last day tho, it's just that if someone doesn’t answer it they won’t be DQed.Phase Three:
Every eligible voter has 1 vote, most voted candidate wins, everyone who had voted must confirm that they have voted in "OT Presidential Elections 2024 - Third Phase" thread.
Each voter will be provided a unique token after they have voted. Once the results have been announced, a voter may find whom they voted for by their token listed in the voting results.
The voting period will last 7 daysOther general rules
Campaigning and making threads to boost your popularity is allowed. If you're not eligible for voting you may still make threads related to the elections. Debates are allowed.
Buying votes or gaining votes in a unfairly manner will result on a DQ.
The winner of this elections MUST immediately host the parliament elections. They can also just get someone else to do the vote but you get the point it must happen.________________________

I've never outright replaced anything, I've worked with the current system as a base, grown on them, and left the originals intact in case someone wanted to restore it even if that were against my interest. I don't think if it was ill intended I would have replaced them. Also, everything was voted either in parliament or in public.Polyspora wrote:

I think some people have said things that go way beyond the scope of RP, even if it wasn't their intention to do so.
RP just simply isn't fun when people use it as an opportunity to be cruel to one another on a personal level.

Just realized that there are little to no new users participating in this election, everyone here is like 3 years+ at this point
Scyla, Igor, Samet or Acroba getting presidency is nail-in-the-coffin for OT, billions must leave.

Acroba and sametdze probably wouldn't do anything, wouldn't be as bad as whatever the other 2 would do.Ymir wrote:

+ pata v poly, and a mixture of gmt moderation woes and mild-but-significant cults of personality centered on current-day internal off-topic politics! threads stirring with awkwardly serious telanovela antagonism between major modern political figures, and their distinct opposing philosophies of governance...
+ a history of gradual institutional reforms to balance the scales of power between moderators and governed denizens while qualifying denizenship further and preserving/updating off-topic customs...
+ a mostly disorganized culture of ambivalent users with variably contrasting niches of interest, perhaps bound together only by collective boredom and entertainment shared with specific acquaintanceships and friendships...
+ roleplay seems to be stuffed in with the antiques, appreciated in the memories and dreams of some but comfortably obsolete to many. i doubt these denizens and dwellers would force the issue at this point
+ third-way candidates soon arise on a whim or by pointed opposition, some are just bored, maybe particularly by presidency or government as institutions in themselves, and run partly to halfheartedly make a point
+ times have changed, denizens and dwellers have changed, politics have changed. so, may the willing live well in the present :)
i intend to run for president!
i don't intend on getting too deep into the weeds for any reason other my own curiosity and interest and i don't intend to force roleplay or government politics into much of any public all-encompassing user-facing service/practice beyond what is largely customary for the people who value it (presidency, denizenship, archived libraries), and while i do believe there is a role to be had in serving as more of an event host for whatever y'all think would be fun, it will probably be more of an optional free sample of things to do or participate in with each other in a social space while you each make your own threads about your interests and your awful awful kinks x')
but for those worried about moderation and user behavior, i also don't intend to be oblivious to extremes in interpersonal abuse or moral bankruptcy or in exercises of power, nor do i intend to allow the neglect of general user experience. for a variety of reasons exemplified through our messy communal history, there ought to be some form of self-preservation in anticipation of distinct threats to the health of our community's users and activities
to this end, i would be responsive to more specific negotiation with moderator teams to root out what the hell went wrong and whether it's more personal or interpersonal rather than systemic, in order to keep these tensions out of the way of any users who may be exhausted by this. if y'like to spectate user or government or moderator drama, there may be correspondence-based events of varied regularity which could be supervised by myself and/or a rotating balance of notable community members depending on the need and circumstance. these would be hosted for the express purpose of hashing out conflict in specific matters, whether in governance or in interpersonal conflicts that involved parties may informally consent to publicizing
rough ideas, really, but i imagine the sentiment of "serve a mixture of spaces/events according to a balance of general community interests and faction-based interests" has been illustrated by now. many suggestions i could make are not-so-much a kind of promise when the community is ever-changing and sometimes self-contradictory. but i largely seek to be some mixture of adaptively open-minded and generally concerned. i would work with whatever parliament i get but i am not interested in letting public decisions be made in a bubble
we are ultimately wandering a corner of a website populated by all sorts of fellow weirdo netizens that variably give any extent of care or concern from "all-in" to "fuck-all" (for some, quite literally), whether they prefer to be on their own or get cliquey, looking on at interesting threads and sating their boredom and curiosity. it would be nice to give them a little bit of something they want to eat
oh yes and im the "arts and culture" candidate in this because i like those things lol <3
i would rather like to avoid fucking up a place where a good variety of people dwell, whether they intend to leave or not. if they do, i hope whatever nearby future spent here would provide both parts peace and entertainment :)
...and if presidency and governance doesn't suit that end, then... we will see what becomes of it, i suppose. let go of what we don't need, right? i'd like to think that kind of thing would be up to you, since you all end up seeing it everywhere across your threads
i was the first president, and maybe i would be the last. but i'm getting ahead of myself. point to what you think you will enjoy or benefit from, pick it out, and have fun~
