[Openme-developers] politics-fare versus average ME player dumbness

[Julien V. <jve...@ya...>]

a bit long idea inspired from some other games.

* The Senate
The senate is composed of all current membership merchants
They can propose law and vote it about game rules, constants (like a
base comme with 8 turrets in place of 10 or a new feature proposition)
then when it's voted with 2/3 majority it go to the 'constitution
council' for verification against the physical rules and the imperial
constitution

* The Racial Council
composed of the top 10 XPed merchants of a given race (with 7 mentor
points)
they can call a vote for a resolution against a special player
comportement and get him placed in imperial jails forever and get totaly
deleted of the imperial registries. We can envisage alliance dissolution
resolutions too. A resolution need a 3/4 majority (the sum of all the
councils). A resolution vote can be called by everybody with a sit at
one of the Racial Council.

* The Racial Overlord 
the top XPed player of a race with 7 mentor points
he can call vote on racial war/peace issue at the Racial Parlement

* The Racial parlement
The racial parlement is composed of the merchants of a given race with 7
mentor points, they vote racial War/Peace (need 1/2 majority for pass)
Members of the racial council got 5 vote points
A simple deputy 1.
Only positively aligned players are accepted as deputies.

* The Constitution council
Composed of current active & passive contributors, you need to
autoproclame yourself senator and get accepted by your peers. Senate
automanage sit without any formals rules. Senate inspect voted laws. If
it can be done according to physical rules and power the empire got, if
it's correctly defined (no fuziness in the text) and respecting the
rules of the constitution.

* Mentors point

Activated after 1 month game time (after all vets joinned).

When a newcommer merchant appear, automaticly a message is sent to one
of the self proclaimed mentor currently online (under preference
screen).

So the mentor get into contact with the merchant apprentice, explain him
the game ropes.
if the newcommers got trouble with his mentor (afk etc..) he got a
little link under the 'report bugs' one for call a 'Game Master'
(generaly some admin) the game master will contact him and try to find
him a new mentor.

When a newcomer reach 70K XP (example value..) he can go to the racial
governement building and proclame his mentor as a good mentor, then the
mentor win 1 mentor point.


The idea :
----------

Get more ppl interested by mentoring newcomers
get ride of scams by voting (your a total annoyance for other players ?
*poof* no more)

will add some assembly seat race between alliances and give more power
to paying members.
