Amendment Tracker and Analysis Extravanganza

Not even the regions where the Fair Amending Procedure Amendment received a majority of the votes supported it by a convincing margin. That really surprised me - apart from the fact that no one in our region came out in support of it, as Tmth said.

Great maps, btw!

Using "common sense" as an argument on hotly debated issues such as regional rights is not very practical, and thus it is not helpful to call someone a "hack" who doesn't fit one's very subjective definition of "common sense".

Anyone else thinking the Senate is trying too hard to please everybody with these amendments and ends up pleasing very few?

Maybe. In a political simulation like Atlasia where no one feels the direct consequences of voting "aye" or "nay" on a certain issue, people may be more reluctant to accept compromises and rather vote "nay" if they aren't entirely pleased with a bill/amendment. Then again, if the Senate were to pass extremely ideological bills that wouldn't appeal to everyone either.

We should make our decisions as if we do see consequences. Isn't that the whole point of having a GM and such?

Yes, we should theoretically. But I don't know if everyone does it.

As for the GM position, I hope we will get someone who is as hard-working and creative as Marokai. Additionally, the Senate and the regional governments and Assemblies should probably refer more to what the GM writes in the future. But that's an entirely different story!
