Adding a political system

[Dyne]

I will respectfully pass; it would just turn into another aspect of the political system we already have: Those who consider themselves hardcore versus those who consider themselves casual.

And oh, what do you know, just like real politics, there's not actually that much difference between them and yet they can't stfu about eachother. Awesome.

That would be good, we do need more noise in the game. Better than nobody talking.

I talk in Ul'dah in Wutai with Shout. Some people ask me to bring it to tells... I want to hit them when they say that. Sorry for being social. Some people suck.

First thing I would do as a ruler... Lalafel all over everyone face!

2nd rename all Disciple of Magic, Wizard.

That is all.

You can also make it so only Lalafell can enter the city. Anyone else that enters are either detained by the guards or killed.

[Dyne]

Well, if it is not possible to make the entire city yours. Maybe give the linkshell options to buy land and turn it into a city and rule that way.

[Jinrya-Geki]

Nah, I wouldn't keep anyone else out. I'd force everyone to the town square and just lalafel over their faces. :3

Depends how its done, people are greedy and would up the tax in order to earn a bucket load of money. This system is in TERA and im so pissed about it. You can even jail people. Its retarded and unfair. Pass on this.

Checks and Balances would need to be put into place in some shape of form.

I would be all for politics in FFXIV except the problem was all ready laid out "Hardcore/Elite/alotoftimeontheirhands" Would benefit greatly. In reality our political system works because its reality, in a virtual world politics are more difficult to simulate correctly due to it being a second life. The people who put the virtual second life in front of reality would just control the majority of any kind of political power.

EDIT: not to mention big LS's tampering with elections and rigging servers.

Jailing people is too much though. If someone gets a bad reputation in the server for raising the taxes too high, they probably will never get elected again, that's why there has to be a term limit like 4 weeks or much shorter.

tera has this system, lol its called the political system too, it sounds very fun, the idea behind it is cool. being able to deside the fate and taxes of everyone on server or things like that would be great, i would tax everything lmao, then never get a party invite again but it will still be awsome lol.

No. Anything more than just a title would either give tons of ability to troll or have to be guided decisions (such as setting MW tax between 5% and 10%).

"Checks and balances" = boring for whoever has it, just an e-peen stroke to have the name.

Plus it makes no sense lorewise.
