I was just thinking this earlier today—great minds think alike, I guess. Wink

If we do try this, I strongly suggest adopting the format used by Lumine for the last revival (with set turns, elections run by a GM, players doing the work of party leadership and backbenchers played by the GM). I agree with Leinad that it would be better to play as characters than as ourselves—for one thing, that would help to mitigate some of the nastier personal drama that is sometimes a problem in Atlasia. Personally, my preference would be for characters based on real-life people, but fictional characters could work so long as people are creative and we don't end up with a dozen handsome, charismatic billionaires.

I agree. I would prefer to restrict it to actual people full stop, though.

I agree that Canada would be great. Post-2015 would be a fantastic place to start.

EDIT: Also, dibs on Jagmeet Singh

Shall we start, then? I've been reading up on Canadian politics and would be willing to GM the first round, unless someone more knowledgeable wanted to take the helm.

Either way, we ought to get started sooner rather than later; I'd hate to see this idea wash down the drain for want of attention.

I’m ready to go if y’all are
