ATLAS: "Political Hall of Fame"

[TheWildCard]

I was wondering who would be interested in creating a "Political Hall of Fame" for the Atlas consisting of retired/very inactive posters who contributed to the game.

Anyone else think this could be a fun idea?

Boss Tweed, Demrepdan, Nym90, Supersoulty, and Andrew, even though the latter two are still relatively active.

I think it was those five that really helped fantasy elections get on its feet.

I didn't help?

We should have a committee, and they can put people up for a public vote. If the person recieves more than 75% in the poll, they are in the Hall. Every three months we'd have a vote.

I essentially agree with that. Another system I was considering was having a commitee of five and each person will nominate a different candidate and then the commitee of 5 will each vote for 3 of the candidates to get inducted into the hall of fame.

I'll only support it if John is a member of it.

Heh, acctually, I had thoughts about colaborating with some people on a Founding Fathers for Atlasia.  Anyone ever see this on the History Channel.

I would also recomend we get relatively new people that weren't around to experience the trivial fueds of the day to serve on the committee like Colin, Me, or SamSpade

I agree with having a mix of newer and older posters but I wouldn't limit ourselves to just the newer ones.

[Joe Republic]

I consider myself a newer poster, and my view is that if I've actually heard of some of the people that you've mentioned, then they're worth recognizing.  The people that actually did good stuff, that is.

I think this post spurs on the need to create the Founding Fathers series.  We are forgeting our past and where we came from.

See my "Statesman Park" Bill.

I think it'd be good to appoint an offcial Atlasian Historian. The first person appointed of course would have it the hardest but the rest of them would just keep track of the important happenings and individuals and put them all in a single thread.

And this commitee would be appointed how?

[Emsworth]

This could be an informal committee appointed by the President. I don't think that it is necessary for the Senate to spend time on passing a bill or resolution on this matter.

As long as none of the dimwits got on.

I don't think the committee should be the only ones deciding, it's for Atlasia, not a select group of people on the committee. They would be more for organizational purposes and selecting candidates to be on the ballot, which would be anyone with any hope at all.

[MHS2002]

What if we set up a committee of 5 and together they nominate 10 candidates, which are voted on by the public; every nominee that receives 75% of the vote makes it in the Hall of Fame?

I don't want a set number, because it may force lackluster candidates onto the ballot and keep good ones off. The committee shouldn't be making too many hard decisions, and a number limit would force them to.

Maybe if 3 or 4 of the 5 then agreed to place someone on the ballot, then put it to a public vote then.

Nym and Fritz are the two most deserving candidates I can think of off the top of my head.

No one's mentioned me....  But I've been quite involved in Atlasia from start to finish.  First as VP, then senator, some of the time PPT, then running for pres, then being SE Lotto Commssioner, then to attorney general, SE Governor, running for president again....Over the past 16 months I've been in office for at least 15 of those months, and never have been off the radar.
It'll be interesting to see if I make it in or not...it would provide evidence in either direction on the existence of the FEC.

I agree.

If it helps any, I envisioned the following "Founding Fathers" for Atlasia:

Nym90
Demrepdan
Statesrights
Christopher Michael
Harry
Supersoulty
Htmldon
Boss Tweed
Jravensbo (though he was not around for long, this was his idea)

Anyothers anyone can think of?
