[quote author=chow link=topic=544.msg5478#msg5478 date=1322626884]Either way, the current board has made terrible choices. From the hilariously bad map selection to poisoning the integrity of the board with shady PM deals over votes and rules, I think action needs to be taken on the board after all these years.[/quote]<br /><br />I&#039;d like some evidence for the shady PM deals over votes and rules. I&#039;m not saying it doesn&#039;t happen but if you&#039;re going to go all Linda Tripp on us at least have the decency to cite a source or two. Otherwise we can dismiss you as a Jenova-esque rabble-rouser. <br /><br />As to the issue of a &quot;true democracy&quot;. It&#039;s not an outlandish suggestion but the theory in practice would most likely get messy and bring a slew of new and unresolvable problems. First of all there is no hierarchy in this system, hence the unresolvable. Allowing that premise, you could resort to majority rule as the defacto standard for affecting change. I would say this is the likely course of events.<br /><br />One of the problems with this system is that the majority of people in this league (and most online gaming leagues) do nothing outside of participate, and some fail at even that most simple of tasks. While doing nothing doesn&#039;t prohibit any one from having an opinion it can be used as a weighting system of importance of those opinions. For instance there are a lot of people who go to school for physics. I don&#039;t. Should my opinion about the Relativistic momentum paradox be taken in the same stride as theirs? FUCK NO&gt;!@&gt;E#@<br /><br />Additionally If it came down to sheer numbers in what affects change there is a phrase for that. It is [b]Mob Mentality[/b]. In that light I imagine we&#039;d be playing skulltag by now. Good job Chow you made everyone play ST. <br /><br />Back to the point at hand. I&#039;m actually of a differing opinion on this subject. Being an active member of the board for about 3 months now I tend to believe things like this are best run autocratically. So yeah, I agree the board is a bad solution. On the other hand I think Chow&#039;s solution is naive, indicative of stupidity and by those merits, worse.
