Constitutional Convention - Commentary thread.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I wish I was a delegate so I could ram my ideas through with ease.

I had every expectation of you representing the South instead of me. I was surprised you didn't run for that and once I received a warning about the low number of candidates, I agreed to run as the deadline approached. Feel free to PM me as well.

Hardly a conspiracy, it seems for all my attempts to steer clear of this convention for its own sake, I get roped in closer by necessity.

Oh, I didn't know the procedure or how delegates were selected. I thought they were nominated or something like that.

Shows how well I have been paying attention recently.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Has it started yet? If so, what is the plan for it?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

It's time for me to take Kal's place.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Well, I'm glad that the convention at least sees me "capable enough" to be a delegate seeing as I was the original author of the plan many are championing now.

Feel free to pluck someone else out of the senate. I'm just offering my services.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

This convention is starting off well.

Marokai has always been a big proponent of game reform. We wanted to be even more radical when we ran for office together but had to tone it down because of fear we'd set off a lot of conservatives.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

The most frustrating thing is, we've had a plan in place to revitalize the game in place for 2 years and we're still arguing over making some very basic changes.

The game has degraded to a point where it's hard to get many people to play it. You'd think that would be a wake up call to most people but to my amazement some still don't get it, and I'm too old and too tired to keep pounding my head against a wall.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I think we all will accept the outcome of this. My point is, I don't want this effort to be in vain, if we spend all of this time debating only to change a few things and leave the game more or less as it is now.

I want this to be a productive and worthwhile time for all of us. I want to finish and think we've done something good for the long term future of the game. I'm sure we all want that.
