Kaidia wrote:As the tension with IBSO grows stronger, the Engineering Corps of Kaidia have devised a plan: create a personnel land carrier, heavy armored, armed with a light tank cannon. Should be simple enough, this design isn't exactly an Arch Reactor, is it? Well, yeah. It's kind of simple. But the design slightly looks like a Landship from WWI, with big tractors outside the walls. So the engineers go back to the board, where they find out they can just hide the tractor and the machinery under a light sheet of armor. Simple!

But the size of the entire thing is another problem, as it's a clear target. The most they could do was either make it camo or heavier, but the carrier was slow regardless. So they compressed the driver seat like a car, and the guns accessible from a ladder to a tight area. Sure, not exactly spine-supportive, but hey, Kaidians are meant to have flexible spines, at least the biological ones.

So with a design for a land-carrier, the Corps started to get to work on designing this "should-be-simple-enough" excuse for a tank. But even with that, the Corps still hold countless meetings to innovate the old Kaidian designs for tanks, planes, drones, and robo-soldiers. After all, you can't be too safe! Well, I guess you kinda can. I mean, I guess I'm only making this because I want action. After all, I want to get back into RP, and I mean serious rp. I just don't wanna put it on Lemona cause we had like 3 conflicts on that, and one of them wasn't even an actual war!

[spoiler=ROBERT GRIFFITHS 1][POV, Robert Griffith's:]

it was a cold day, snow blanketed London and Parliament, Today a discussion was being hold on some non-important vote, Something about regulations on workers safety.. I can't remember, I was spaced out, not listening to the MPs or Clerk of the House, I began to think how annoying it'll be to deal with that snow outside.. jesus it'll be freezing out there. When suddenly an MP tapped me on my shoulder and leaned in to whisper something "Do you know when this session'll be over?" I glanced over "No.." The nervous MP leaned back and presumably asked another MP next to them the same question, once doing so leaning back in and telling me "They said 20 Minutes if you were curious PM" I kept a blank expression on my face "Cheers.." I felt exhausted and was glad to hear I could leave soon and get a well needed nap, now it was just time to wait..[/I][/spoiler]

A Disguised revolutionary kept digging, He was directly under parliament. He had been digging for months now, Nobody knew he or his Comrades were there. Behind him a fellow revolutionary handed him explosives, more down the line were handing explosives down for him to plant, He did so, with more and more explosives being handed to him. Added onto the pile. This tunnel extended for miles, it was a monumental feat, the revolutionaries themselves couldn't believe it. They had used the sewers, gathering information about parts of the sewers that were frequently cleaned or visited by government workers and parts that weren't, getting the closest to parliament they could and digging a hole in the sewer walls to it, hiding it out of sight of anybody. Finally the flow of explosives had stopped and they had all been planted. The revolutionary that had planted them made sure they were set, carefully examining them, with the revolutionary behind rushing, he quickly stated "Be Patient damnit!" his voice echoing through the tunnel and some revolutionaries snickering at his comments "The General will be proud of us, He will not believe it!" the revolutionary behind gestured for him to be quiet, he did so. The revolutionaries began their way back out the tunnel, ducking their way through the narrow tunnel.[/spoiler]

Time felt as if it was dragging on for hours.. it felt like it had been an hour now but I know it had only been 15 minutes, I just had to endure 5 minutes..

Whilst I was glancing around, I spotted the MOW (Minister Of War) and MOI (Minister Of Intelligence) discussing with each other in the far corner of parliament near the doors, they seemed to be joking.. I got curious, looking over to the Clerk of the house, seeing them pre-occupied with a particularly unruly MP, I took the opportunity to stand up and sneak over to the two ministers, with everybody seemingly that disinterested that they didn't spot me or if they did, they didn't care. As I approached the two ministers they looked over to me, the MOI with his usual eagle-eyed stare through his glasses and the MOW with his usual fury. I spoke loud enough for them to hear me but quietly enough for nobody else to "What are you two discussing? It has to be more interesting than this debate.." The MOI adjusted his glasses "Sir.. how do we put this?" The MOI and MOW looked at eachother, snickering as they did so, almost as if they were saying to each other “Im not telling him, you are”, The MOW let out one final chuckle before finally saying in a hushed tone "The Pyhdon Emperor got arrested going into Lemona!" The MOW Burst out laughing with the MOI Snickering to himself yet again, earning a few looks from MPs across parliament, I stood there for a second slightly thinking they were joking "Really?" they both quickly replied "Yes!" I joined in their snickering, How could the Pyhdon Emperor get himself caught in Lemona? I wondered though, why was he there anyway? I decided to ask "Do you know why he was in Lemona?" The MOI Paused for a Moment "Our Intelligence isn't sure why, it may have been something do with all this IBSO Nonsense.. anyhow it is Hilarious." The MOW Chuckled "Heh, yeah.." Suddenly, The Clerk of the house shouted across the house along with a bang of his gavel "This Session of parliament is Over! We shall continue this debate tomorrow!" The 2 Ministers and I all looked at eachother, I spoke up first "Would you two join me on a walk?" The MOW Looked unsure but the MOI was eager, the MOI spoke first "Hmm.. Why not? I have some plans to discuss with you anyhow" I and the MOI looked over to the MOW, he finally spoke "I have some matters back at the Ministry of War to sort, I'll have to deal with that first.." I responded "Alright then, I won't impede your job Minister, get to it!" The MOW quickly scurried off, Exiting parliament, I and the MOI looked back at eachother "shall we get going then?" he said with us exiting parliament behind the MOW[/spoiler]

All the Revolutionaries had finally exited the tunnel, with a charge leading out of the tunnel to where the revolutionaries stood, ready to blow parliament sky high any moment, One of the Revolutionaries radios crackled to life, It was Revolutionaries above ground outside parliament itself, they had spotted the MOW, MOI And Prime Minister, The revolutionaries quickly surrounded the single Revolutionaries radio, carefully listening to what the party above ground had to say. They were going to blow up parliament any how but assassinating the PM is what they really wanted, they quickly formulated a plan, realising the MOW wasn't with them and it was just the PM and MOI on a walk. Observe where the PM and MOI are going and intersect their path, Assassinate the PM at all costs. The above ground group agreed, and dispersed, carefully following the PMs Path, One revolutionary, James Mild, had been assigned the task of following the PM the Closest. Strangely the PM didn't have any security with him, the Revolutionaries found this odd but Robert was a man of the people, so they assumed he had simply ordered for no security to be with him, anyhow they prepared themselves, Watching the MOI and PM move across the street and get closer to 10 Downing Street, James following closely behind, the PM and MOI stopped just a few feet from the gates of 10 Downing Street, the MOI had his back to James but the PM was facing him, the PM hadn't noticed him yet but he soon would[/spoiler]

I and the MOI had stopped outside the gates of 10 Downing Street, just a few feet from it, the MOI was going on and on about his new plans for intelligence gathering, I was half-heartedly listening, zoning out and observing my surroundings. I had seen everything around 10 Downing Street a million times now, but it never got old, the trees and buildings, older than I was by centuries, when suddenly, I noticed a peculiar man almost run-walking towards me and the MOI. The MOI hadn't noticed I was zoned out by now or my perplexed look at the individual, too focused on what he was saying. The man I had spotted had his eyes fixated on me, he looked almost manic, Insane even, he wore a brown trenchcoat, grey jumper, black pants and a brown cap. He got closer and closer, feet away from us when finally he began to reach into his trenchcoat

Time froze, and it was too late when I realised what was about to happen, it was almost as if everything had gone into slow motion as I saw the man pull out a handgun and aim it at me, 3 shots rang out, the first missed, the second two hit my shoulder and chest, I felt a stinging pain as the MOI whipped his head around to face the attacker and security at the gate rushed at him. When he began to pull the handgun out several people noticed and ran. But now that he had fired, everyone noticed. I collapsed to the ground in pain, as the MOI shouted for the security to apprehend him, he had already began booking it down the street. Thankfully however civilians had gotten in his way and stopped him themselves, my vision began to become blurry as I made out the silhouette of the MOI trying to assist me to my feet, throwing my arm over his shoulder "WE NEED TO GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL!" The MOI shouted, he kept barking orders at the security, the attacker had been apprehended now and was being dealt with by a few security, the rest were tending to me. They quickly got a vehicle, I, the MOI and a few security got into the car and drove to the nearest hospital across the river, passing the parliament. As we did so however approaching the bridge. An explosion roared from behind the car, I glanced over at the MOI, his expression said it all, he was looking behind us towards parliament, and muttered in a panicked tone "They Blew Up Parliament.."[/spoiler]

You have to have seats for your party assigned via the elections. It's a representative system, which works great if you have a lot of constituents, but we don't have that. Representative democracy doesn't make sense on a small scale, which is what we're dealing with.

Not really. I was invited by a couple of parties to run for MP with them but I decided to run as an independent. The waiting period is everywhere though so its not just our Region.

Not an election, it's an open parliament. You can join if you're interested and have been active.

That's good, but independent candidates still have to wait. The only way in is to register either way and be elected. It doesn't make sense for this region.

The waiting period can be frustrating but those who are elected deserve to start and complete their term without having to constantly try to work with a reshuffling of Parliament. I would definitely be in favor of other means of government as like a member advisory roles before you begin your campaign into parliament.

It's not a reshuffling. One person joining doesn't reshuffle parliament at all, it just adds another person who can vote and speak their mind. Right now, residents have no way to vote on any of these bills without being elected. It's not democratic in the slightest.

Kaidia

TBH I think it would be really cool if we opened up MP voting to citizens but obviously their votes wouldn't count but would just voice their opinions on certain bills while the MP votes actually count towards passing the bill.

Kaidia

I think it should be split into midterms

Every 3 months is an election for parliament

It makes it so the constant reshuffling of parliament isnÂ’t hard to keep track of, but is also more inviting

I get where Mjau is coming from, but I donÂ’t think an open parliament is the solution

An election focused on parliament will advertise it even more

I don't see why we shouldn't count citizens' votes on bills that impact them. Again, it's just not democratic at all

There's no reshuffling in Mjau's proposal. People joining doesn't impact the previous members at all, it just allows new people to speak their minds too. The old system is highly conservative.

Why? There aren't enough active members to justify that.

Its democratic because citizens of the Region vote on the people they would like to hold office or hold the choice to run themselves.

Okay then, well if Mjau is right that it will truly up the participation, then the other fact is keeping track of everyoneÂ’s votes and what they want

A set parliament gets rid of that

So rarely that people won't even notice those votes are available at all. It's not inviting to new members.

I think NUCL keeps us updated pretty well with upcoming votes. He sends frequent telegrams. If you were to constantly check telegrams which I assume you do you wouldn't miss anything like a vote.

Agreed. But people can join and stay here for a couple months without an election taking place, so they won't see anything like that.

We have several documents posted in our Regions description letting you know about all the stuff we do including a detailed description of Paraliament which is available 365 days a year for any newcomer to read.

A lot of that info is outdated. There's still a link on there allowing people to Apply for Parliament, which does nothing because it's been totally replaced in the new system.

Yeah that has to be updated.

Months? I only figured out it existed about a week ago, and literally, all of the issues answered say I have advanced technology, for example, "Pilots struggle to get a droning license" or "Songbirds are escorted by Jets near migration lines."

Honestly, there is a reason why there is an SA stat anyways.

Plus, people just saying they have "this" tech or "that" tech could be very corruptible. Plus, if you just want an SA that raises tech limits, then other, higher stats will have to be changed as well.

Imagine somebody with 100 SA compares to somebody with 225 or something, there are limits.

almost like IÂ’ve had to deal with those too

And yes, there is a point

It helps defend against true godmodding, and shows nations work on building up their nation by giving them newer technology

Cool, yeah, you can show how peaceful you are by just not going into wars

You can flex off your basket weaving and use it for trade, but when is that going to affect anything

SA shows your technology and the capabilities your nation holds.
