Hey everyone,
So as some of you have noticed on the Discord there's been discussion with regards to how the Security Council elections are conducted. Currently, all nations are have the opportunity to vote for each seat through in-game legislation. This has been the policy for over a year and has made the tabulation of votes simple (though time consuming) for Moderation. However the issue has been raised that now that system has become obstructive to RP as the roleplay scene of the community has been slowing down and many nations (either empty or primarily played in by users who play Particracy for the game itself rather than the RP) have been interacting less with the system, which has stagnated votes and entrenched a few nations as inactive winners.
There are a number of alternatives we can pursue which would shift the electoral power from nations inactive in RP to those which do have active roleplayers inhabiting them, such as the implementation of a Seat E like system for the other four SC Seats to one I've spoken with Drax about which would give nations active in the General Assembly the power to elect SC representatives.
I'm opening this thread to hopefully begin a dialogue in the community regarding the current situation with the SC elections, and discuss if we should change the election system, and if so than what alternative should we adopt. Please, feel free to offer your thoughts and ideas.
