Question: Well?
#1
Playing a structured government simulation is fun.  I love all of the policy details and minutiae.		  
#2
It's about the election, the clash of personalities.		  
#3
I'm here for the people, to make and keep friends; it's all about relationships		  
#4
Honestly, I just come here to kill time		  
#5
You know, I don't even know why I "play" Atlasia.  Habit, maybe?		  
#6
Other (explain)

Tweed's video got me wondering about this.

EDIT: Most fun, please.

I haven't really played here for a long while. Mostly I'm here because the Labor Party is an interesting idea. I certainly have no desire to seek elective office, and most of the people with whom I interacted while I played the game are gone now.

It's a paradox. I like running for & holding office & "climbing the ladder". At the same time I despise having to do the research necessary for legislation. I want to put a bill forward for road repairs but can't easily find the data necessary.

The bit where I get to turn all of you into numbers and tables and charts, just to make manipulating your minds and bodies all that much easier.

You could try asking the SoIA or GM, I suppose.

I'll be honest and say that I like the election part the most. Of course, legislating has its charms as well but since all bills we pass obviously have no concrete impact on the lives of anyone I like governing a bit less.

A little of all.  I enjoy being SoEA, like some people involved, find elections fun, and I'm going on 5 years of involvement, so habit is a factor.

Mostly to kill time. I don't have an office here, so it's mostly just habit. If I don't win a seat in the next Senate though, I'll probably take time away from it.

Option 1 when I actively participate (see my Senate term), option 4 when I just take a look at how things are going (like right now Tongue).
