Apparently "Mock Parliment" is trying to put the final nail in the coffin?

[Leinad]

To me, it's incomprehensible how everyone is in conclusion that we need to reduce the number of regions--be it 4, 3 or even 2--but people can think that we can maintain two games without allowing willing players to be active in both?

I get the argument, but around 10 or more Atlasian officeholders are also in the Mock Parliament. This means lots of people who could be active in South America will decide not to be (making it harder to grow), lots of Atlasian officeholders are forced to resign in a crippling exodus (as Adam says, putting the final nail in the coffin), or both.

Again, I totally understand the idea behind it. Diplomatic relations would theoretically solve the vacuum problem--again, if we had enough members for two semi-healthy games. But it's not worth the mutually assured destruction it would cause in this current environment.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I was actually for the ban but reading this thread has changed my mind; this could revitalize both games, so long as Player X of Atlasia and South America are not the same person in game.

[Mechaman]

I strongly reject the idea that this is some sort of scheme or motion to kill of Atlasia out of spite or whatever. Griffin and Windjammer should know better than to spout out meaningless accusations than that.

Are you expletively kidding?  AdamGriffin's entire political career is built off of meaningless accusations and conspiratard cat excrements.

Actually it isn't we actually have committed players ie: myself, Cris, Leinad, Kal, Truman etc.

SWE continues to insist that communism works despite all the evidence to the contrary, so why would Atlasia be any different?

But I'm not suggesting Atlasia still works?

I think Truman's point is that you insist communism works, against evidence otherwise, so it's no surprise that you insist Atlasia is dead, against evidence otherwise. Or maybe I've misunderstood him.

Stop complaining about our game you had your choice and you left. You just want it your way or nobody gets to have fun. We respect your game no respect ours.

Leinad is correct.

How can people in a dead game complain about anything? Or even say anything? It's certainly quite ill, but in no way is it "dead." Dead would mean a complete void of any activity whatsoever, which is false. You can certainly have the opinion that it's not fun anymore, in which case you made the right decision to leave. But saying it's dead just because you don't like it is equivalent to me saying John McCain is no longer in the Senate.

Some of us should be able to choose to enjoy both games, or only one, or neither of them, without people wasting time to talk about how bad the other game is. The only thing as destructive to both games as the officeholding ban measure discussed here is if the games are involved in some kind of petty feud of insults.

Maybe I'm just a silly libertarian--maybe it's best to tell other people what's fun and what isn't, how to spend their time and how not to--but in my opinion we need to do our thing, let other people do theirs, have fun, and that's how both games will, hopefully, thrive. (Or at least be bearable enough to kill some time with every day.)
