I am sure this is not the first time that this issue has been raised, nor will it be the last, nor am I the only one concerned about this. But is there ANY WAY that people who are responsible for this game could fix the way that new and returning Parties get seats in elections?
Why is it that a Party who spends time every day building an electoral coalition, gaining seats, passing bills and all the things we are supposed to do can lose an election to a Party who just shows up, votes on a couple bills here and there, proposes an omnibus positions bill which gets zero votes, and then stands for an election and wins a plurality?
Why is it that a Party which goes inactive in a country, and either stops playing for several RT years or plays in a different country for hundreds of IG years suddenly gets to come back and reactivate and keep all their old positions and get all their old votes in the next election?
Why is the game so heavily balanced AGAINST the people who have been playing in that country for hundreds of IG years in favor of brand new players? That is completely unrealistic and absolutely unfair. And I seriously doubt that anyone who has put a lot of time into a country only to have it all taken away by some brand new johnny come lately Party or some returning Party which hasn't player in the country for centuries would disagree with me.
Isn't there something that could be done to fix the balance between established Parties and new Parties which would force them to gain their seats incrimentally instead of all at once, and give the "people" of our countries some fricking political loyalty? Isn't there something that can be done that can protect the sand castle we have spent centuries building from the random action of waves or the inconsideration of the kid who is not watching where he is going, comes into our lives briefly, messes up everything that we have made and then disappears from our lives just that fast?
Or is this something which we have to put up with, week after week, RT years after RT year until we finally get sick of the absolute pointlessness of actually working hard on a country, because we know that at any moment, it could all be kicked into dust by a visiting or a returning Party who neither knows anything about the country, nor particularly cares to learn about the country before proceeding to enact a radical alteration in the nation's constitution, treaty regimes, and legislation?
