ZOMBIES

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

OFFICIAL ZOMBIE LIST

We here at TPTToAA have decided that the definition of "Zombie" is someone who has not posted, in Atlasia, 5 times between the two most recent general elections, not counting votes, or posts shorter than 25 words.

Put another way, you need to post, not vote, more than 5 times, and those posts must be meaningful, not "LOL" and the like.

Note, we consider the "election" to have begun on December 1st - the 10 day registration limit. Note that I do not count those who registered after the last election, that would not be fair.

**NOTE** I found that many people also voted in the middle of November for something. If I find 0 posts between then and the last election, I am also qualifying them as "Zombies" and putting them on the list.


Below we've listed the following.

Many of the above had NO posts in Atlasia between votes, and yet some of these people somehow knew about candidates requesting write-ins.

Dallasfan65, despite being accused by others, is NOT a zombie, he is new, and yet has contributed to the game in a productive manner, if limited; something that separates him from those listed above.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

According to our list, a full ONE THIRD of all voters are zombies!

[Marokai Backbeat]

Unfortunately I take issue with a great deal of your list.

You mean people campaign? The outrage!

The facts are the facts. These people contribute nothing yet have the same vote as you and I.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

You hurl false charges at others, and now 'take issue' when your own party's hypocrisy is exposed?

Part of the problem (and as you can see ALL parties have zombies) is that people are only accused of being zombies if they vote against you. If they vote for you, they are just part of a successful campaign.

I still don't understand how "zombie" voters are at all unrealistic for an election simulation...

How is that? I was responding to the post I quoted, which was yours...

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Look, you certainly seem like a nice guy Teddy but posting such lists will only worsen the problem.

Anyway, I knew enough about Atlasia to cast my ballot for Jas this December, not to mention Xahar wanted people to vote the man, whom, in my opinion is one of Atlasia's finest public officials, and not only the old guard but those who were around during the Wixted era will certainly agree.

Well then I'm not sure how your post was relevant to what I said. I agree with your reply and that has been my opinion for a long time.

[Lief 🗽]

I take issue with your definition of a zombie, as I've made clear before. BRTD, Eraserhead, Torie, Connor, and others you listed, even if they don't post in the Atlasia forum a lot, they still contribute plenty to the forum as a whole. Their sole existence, on the Dave Leip's Atlas Forum, is not to vote for whoever Hamilton/whoever else tells them to, so they are not zombies.

The list is more meant to generate discussion than it is to be definitive. I also respectfully disagree with the highlighted portion. Those in Atlasia should contribute to Atlasia.

Uh, I was concurring with your post about campaigning, and then following that up with the statement that I do not understand how other people don't think like you and I do...

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I had to set limits, and many old timers ended up on the list. Earl was 1 most away, and Gustaf made it despite being very active in the past.

Nothing personal about any of this. When you make a list, you need a cut off point, and people near it always end up on one side or the other, and it may not be "fair".

I'll post a funny comic later to cheer everyone up

[Marokai Backbeat]

Unfortunately I take issue with a great deal of your list.

The facts are the facts. These people contribute nothing yet have the same vote as you and I.

Okay I didn't really want to do this because there's the possibility something concerning zombies could come before the court because of HAEV and all that nonsense, but taking a liberal interpretation of that basically means I can't comment on anything, so let me just explain why I think alot of this list is ridiculous.

In our statute, we deal with activity requirements for voting in elections with this language:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Now, it's actually 25 now because of a bill from Hashemite that I supported, but stay with me. When it says "who have posted at least 15 times" it is referring to the Atlas forum at-large. These are the sort of activity requirements that we deal with. The same is upheld in various office-holding rules (I believe it's like 200 or something to be a Senator now?) for post counts, the posts in the at-large forum.

Here are the three criteria for how I judge (personally, not officially) a "zombie" with some exceptions.

Someone who doesn't post on the forum at-large or exclusively posts in Atlasia (or it seems like they were recruited for the sole purpose of participating in Atlasia).

Someone who is not an established member of Atlasia (meaning, someone you can point out in a crowd of Atlas members).

Someone who doesn't post intelligently, causes trouble, etc.

People like BRTD, Smash, phknrocket1k, Boris, CultureKing, Eraser, Gustaf, Torie (Seriously? Torie is a zombie to you?), Ronnie, Dead0man, etc, do not qualify in my humble opinion. They have a long history in Atlasia, the Atlas forum in general for the most part, are well established members, post often on the Atlas forum at large, and many of the people on your list are former office-holders for heaven's sake.

Not longer than earlier this year, CultureKing was my Governor! Torie was once my Senator for two terms! Obviously these are not exemptions on their own, but they are, in combination with other factors, evidence that they are not zombies. They don't not post (grammar attack) on the forum at large, they don't cause trouble or get in trouble alot, they weren't recruited to Atlas simply for the purpose of participating in this silly little game, they have a long history and have established themselves on this site.

People like azmagic, dallasfan, Elvis Republican, etc, well, they're kind of stupid honestly, to be a little harsh about it. They post on the forum at large to maintain the bare minimum, they have extremely low total post counts, almost no one knows who the hell they are, they seem like the type of person who was recruited simply to be used in Atlasia, the list goes on. Those are classic zombie qualifiers.

We could get into arguments too over more complicated shades. People who cause trouble and obsessively participate in Atlasia. But that's an argument for another day. For now, this is about the inactive type of zombie/tool. If anyone wanted my philosophy on zombies, I supposed that's as detailed as I can think to be on the topic.
