I came across some interesting previous rules known as the Pax Cynica which were taken out of action in 2013 I believe. There are references to nation rp rules in there which I assume were before cultural protocols. Perhaps instead of keeping cultural protocols in their current form, we could combine them with potential political protocols to form collective national rp rules. Note this is my opinion and not the consensus of Moderation unless we agree on such an approach later.
Idioc, the author of this Pax Cynica document also warns against the rules turning into a constitution (which apparently resulted in textualism that led to it being rescinded) so I think there should definitely be room for interpretation and discretion so the rules are effective to keep in touch with the community.
Basically, this is a game and not a constitutional republic so to compare Moderation and Wouter running the game to how the Great Commonwealth of Australia is governed would not be correct.(Not saying that anyone is suggesting this but I think there is a lesson in there for improving the rules)
It’s probably best to move this discussion on game rules to another thread such as Moderation/GRC Queries. No doubt similar discussions closer to the implementation.
Parts of CM's last post came across to me as quite confused and TBH a bit concerning, although I won't go into the details of that right here, so as to keep this thread on-topic.
Regardless of whether Jess continues with this RP, it would be really helpful for Moderation to clarify whether this situation in Dorvik is legal in terms of the rules, so we all know where we stand.
To make this more specific, I am asking two questions:
1. Given Dorvik's Cultural Protocol and the RP background, is it legitimate for Jess to be running an Ahmadi party in Dorvik?
2. Given Dorvik's Cultural Protocol and the RP background, is it legitimate for Jess's party to make Ahmadism Dorvik's official religion?
