Have fun with this, I will take no part. Not much of an RPer.
No in game "government" system will dictate my actions in game. I will do what I want and as I please.
As long as that is clear, carry on with the RP.

As I'm reading through this, I realize how amazing this could be. I think, as an in game function, it would allow Bounty Hunters to hunt more in-depth targets, it would allow soldiers to join a faction and duke things out, and it would allow smugglers to smuggle... So on and So fourth. It would mold the economy in a very unique way, and players who don't want to deal with an in game government, will find their place in the galaxy. I mean honestly, isn't that what the empire was? didn't the rebels, in spite of taking part of the galactic senate, rebel?
On the RL side of things, I like the ability of members, especially active members who know what's going on in game, being able to highlight things that might need changing or adjusting. I'm not an active player... I play one to three hours a week usually, and yet when I play, I feel like a part of this community. I feel my voice is heard, and my problems (if I come across them) are addressed...
I don't think something like this would heavily effect the players who don't want to have anything to do with it, outside of certain factions not being able to comfortably go certain places... so honestly, if you don't like it, don't do it. If there is something you want changed, make sure you vote and let your voice be heard.

I guess it is fine as long as people play on the ruleset of the server... alot can seriously go wrong though... take a look at the real world and see which shithole it really is, both local and worldwide.

I assure you, our goal is to not turn our little universe into a shithole.

For what it is worth, myself and my guild <-TCR-> small as we are, fully support this idea and would like representation if it comes to fruition. This game is old, and though elitists may disagree, we feel that growth and content addition is logical and necessary at some point - but the PLAYERS need to decide what is supported by the majority. We all saw what happened when this process was not followed! Let's not repeat the mistakes of Smedley and Torres, guys. O0

I will admit, I only skimmed through most of the post(it is 5 pages long), but I did not see anyone ask this, so...What about players who are not guilded or city aligned? Or those who don't plan on either at all? Who plans on speaking for those people? Or do they not matter? Don't get me wrong, I see alot of positives in the idea, but only to certain types of people. Although it seems like a good idea in theory, I don't see any benefit for someone like me.

Excellent question!!

This really is not guild or city affiliated. I think one idea that was brought up and I loved it was that we can senators or governors from each planet and once it grows have multiples per district based on major cities (Not player cities) or something to that effect. We are still in the preliminary stages of laying everything out which is why we want people to get involved early on help us shape it!

We left off at have 6 basic committee mebers. 2 neutral, 2 reb and 2 imp. We are trying to keep things as impartial as possible so jump on board!!

I think it's a cool idea. I'm always down for player created content. If DLI doesn't want to represent <RGN> I'll do it. My wee tailor voice shall be heard! More buttons! Less zippers! Down with fleece taxes!

Sadly we did not get enough participants. Perhaps next week we can revisit this and try to get more support.
