For one rewriting it in a more formal way. When you actually look at it, a jarring amount of it is opinionated and I think that's played a part in lots of arguments that start over imaginary rules that never actually existed, especially the whole dubious lore concept. I think it also needs to explain in what situations a province would be done for nations that have active writers currently because it doesn't look like it ever took any of that into account, situations as to when land should be provinced and when it should not are useful if provincing is something that's going to continue to happen.

Reposting
Okay, so this proposal is interesting but I don't really know how to feel about it yet because it seems like a lot more details need to be fleshed out before it's ready to go to vote. I'm just going to drop my thoughts and questions down as I go through the document and hopefully this gives a chance for people to think about the details of what the proposal will look like in action as we discuss how to tackle them.
>Regional Borders
The regions as they are currently depicted seem off and should probably be adjusted. The rentry does seem to reference this a bit, but if this is being put forth as a proposal then we should probably make sure the regions are accurate to the proposal's requirements. In general, the regions seem like they will be a pain to work with, especially if they need to be reconfigured for every vote depending on which contributors have joined or left, possibly silently or temporarily. The first step would be to list which threads are currently considered "active" so we can get a sense for how they should be divvied up and if it's even possible to do by the standards set forth here. For that matter, what makes a thread "active" in the first place? These things should probably be ironed out at some point.

>Furthermore, it can be decided to make a smaller split in such a case to balance out, such as dividing a holo region containing 4 threads into 2 regions with 2 threads.
This seems like it will cause a myriad of problems and I cannot imagine how anyone would broach the topic of asking for increased splits without the thread descending into the shitflinging mess this is trying to avoid. In what way can this be done that is demonstrably fair or objective? The entire idea is predicated on the fact that a group of people are being singled out for having too much influence. It will be the exact same arguments we're having now with new language.
And moving region borders around will be its own headache with regard to people having reason to put up accusations of foul play. With the current regions, we have several where only one thread is consistently active in regards to votes not directly relating to them and some with none at all. So in matters requiring 2/3 regional approval, how many regions would actually be able to come to a decision and make a vote? It seems like only a couple would bother if we take previous voting trends into account.

>Intraregional Discussion
Now let's take a look at how the regions themselves work. First off, who all is in a region and gets to be a part of the discussion? Is it still just the "reps" from the old system? If we are adding in the other writers for threads which have them, then how is someone like WARsuner handled, where he splits his time between multiple regions? With there being more push for people wanting to write for unrepped nations, do they get a say in regional discussions?
In addition, how is voting handled within a region or will regions just figure out their own system? People have mentioned it possibly needing to be unanimous and the note that each thread needs to do lore verification for the vote to go through seems to lean that way as well. This is somewhat exploitable since it requires a falseflagger to only have a single persona in a few regions to stall out the voting process entirely. If it is based on (super)majority, then depending on the makeup of the region I could easily see potential for more hatred to fester with someone being constantly blocked by their neighbors. There is also the worry that a single opinionated voice could easily take over a region's vote if the others are apathetic towards the matter. In general, if other people in the region are busy or not interested in the issue, are the remaining members allowed to vote for their region?

>To give an example, let's say North Indie only has one active rep. This would mean they would vote along with their southern neighbors.
While this attempts to address some of the concerns above, it ultimately seems pretty flawed. In a regional discussion, this gives the singular member of their region almost no control over what happens to said region, while the alternative is to lend them unilateral control over it. One might attempt to redo borders to remedy the situation at the time, but a big potential flaw of the regional system is that there doesn't seem to be any good solutions to what happens when a thread is geographically isolated from anyone active, and the future could have this occur to any number of places. Ultimately it seems like there are so many restrictions for how regions can be placed that it feels impossible to do so fairly with our limited number of anons.
(1/2)

>> No.41774245

>I would hope that this system would also encourage regions to work together lore wise more, as building rapport and trust between each other would be important here overall, and furthermore would encourage regional projects.
That being said, I do think there is a point to be made here, and this does seem to be one of this proposal's greatest strengths.

>Writing Tiers
This section took me a couple reads to fully absorb so I would like to ask some clarifying questions and have everything explicitly laid out in how it will function. I assume the loremaster role here is not meant to be a simple substitute for the mediator, since letting one person have full control over their "sandbox" seems to be against what this proposal wants to achieve. So does that mean that loremasters will not be the sole arbiters of canon for their threads? Then can a thread have multiple loremasters and can someone serve as a loremaster for multiple threads? One thing I've noticed with these two reforms is that the writing section seems to encourage people to write more globally but the regional voting seems to encourage people to stay with a specific country. It feels like there's some natural opposition between the two ideas that will need to be resolved or at least investigated more closely so people don't get caught in the middle.
Anyway, those are just some of the preliminary thoughts I had when reading through the proposal doc. I'm not sure that it's quite there yet, but I'm interested to see how the idea develops and how some of these concerns will be handled as it continues to be revised.

Well naturally, they aren't supposed to be set in stone but general guidelines

>In general, the regions seem like they will be a pain to work with, especially if they need to be reconfigured for every vote depending on which contributors have joined or left, possibly silently or temporarily.

This is a valid point, though it would require more than 5 "active" threads, which participate in discussions and post regularly.

>The first step would be to list which threads are currently considered "active" so we can get a sense for how they should be divvied up and if it's even possible to do by the standards set forth here. For that matter, what makes a thread "active" in the first place? These things should probably be ironed out at some point.

It's rather easy to note who is active based on their posting, and as was stated, this allowed up to 5 threads to be active at once in a region. What makes a thread active is that they are actively posting lore or posting in relation to this thread. It's should be pretty straightforward.

>This seems like it will cause a myriad of problems and I cannot imagine how anyone would broach the topic of asking for increased splits without the thread descending into the shitflinging mess this is trying to avoid. In what way can this be done that is demonstrably fair or objective? The entire idea is predicated on the fact that a group of people are being singled out for having too much influence. It will be the exact same arguments we're having now with new language.

Well, it seems that no matter what happens, this will be the case unfortunately. This was a mere suggestion.


>And moving region borders around will be its own headache with regard to people having reason to put up accusations of foul play. With the current regions, we have several where only one thread is consistently active in regards to votes not directly relating to them and some with none at all. So in matters requiring 2/3 regional approval, how many regions would actually be able to come to a decision and make a vote? It seems like only a couple would bother if we take previous voting trends into account.

This requires a deeper discussion and I am not sure where to proceed here. It is more of mentality question both of these two previous points overall rather than a systematic issue.

>Now let's take a look at how the regions themselves work. First off, who all is in a region and gets to be a part of the discussion? Is it still just the "reps" from the old system? If we are adding in the other writers for threads which have them, then how is someone like WARsuner handled, where he splits his time between multiple regions? With there being more push for people wanting to write for unrepped nations, do they get a say in regional discussions?

It's not just the reps, its all writers in the regions. I think that anyone who contributes a fair bit of lore or is exclusively focused on one region should have a say in it. It's not about a vote in the regions themselves but coming to a common consensus.

>While this attempts to address some of the concerns above, it ultimately seems pretty flawed. In a regional discussion, this gives the singular member of their region almost no control over what happens to said region, while the alternative is to lend them unilateral control over it. One might attempt to redo borders to remedy the situation at the time, but a big potential flaw of the regional system is that there doesn't seem to be any good solutions to what happens when a thread is geographically isolated from anyone active, and the future could have this occur to any number of places. Ultimately it seems like there are so many restrictions for how regions can be placed that it feels impossible to do so fairly with our limited number of anons.

In that regard, this is where the thread steps in to mediate. Ultimately, in the case of Indie for example, many of the writers follow the same logic and this is the case with many areas adjacent to each other. If the case comes to be that a nation is isolated, they ought to be given some sort of provision but ultimately there needs to be some kind of logic on a thread level, as meaningless layers of extra bureaucracy accomplish nothing.

>Writing tiers

Retro can better explain this in my opinion, the overall goal is to eliminate the concept of writing and voting in an individual personification.

All in all, it's not perfect and it needs polish, but I want to make clear that adding extra layers of bureaucracy will accomplish nothing, and that this all depends on the thread itself being willing to work within the system. Obvious abuse should be obvious, and truthfully, there can be no system (1/2)

>> No.41783853

>>41783613
that is perfect in all ways. Here is the overall points we need to understand.

>1. Is the current system of satisfaction to most anons?
>2. If not, what system is preferred.
>3. If that system is decided on, how do we word it in functional terms.

Overall, in truth, I would propose simply having a vote in regards to these three measures, indeed, voteanon, I would prefer if we held a vote that said

"Do you believe that the current system of voting is satisfactory. If not, explain your preferred alternative."

To my knowledge, the only one that has been proposed is this one, as the flaws of the randomized groups is so flawed I wouldn't think it even deserves any regard after its deep flaws were exposed. Share your feelings about the voting system when you make that choice, it would be bloody better than the discussions honestly to hear from the current voting representatives.

Excuse me faggots but I wanted to make my own world separate from this thread and I have some ideas. Very rough btw
>Each of the Hololive/Holostars girls/boys are gods of city-states with their own powers appropriate to their character
>Generally a moderately serious setting.
>These gods gain power through influence and positive attention
>Each of these city-states controls territory in a hexagonal shape of roughly equal size, representing their influence over the land itself
>The world is flat and shrouded in impenetrable fog. The fog has slowly lifted over time as more gods emerge (join the company IRL), so the order they appear is roughly analogous to the time they debuted
>In universe, approximately 120 years have passed since Sora appeared as the first god.
>The talents often collaborate or feud to gain worshippers or starve others.
>The talents who have left the agency are represented by ruined city-states and empty lands with their followers having been absorbed by the other talents. Example: A giant fucking hellscape where Hololive China's talents once were
>Open warfare is uncommon due to the gods powers but fights between them are not unheard of. Sometimes they may poach the lands of neighboring talents for worshippers or resources.
>Antis are represented as savage godless barbarians from the lands beyond the fog, barely human and often teeming with monsters in their ranks.
>The gods are powerful but they are not fully immortal and can be killed or succumb to illness
>Still need to come up with deets for each nation's territory. They should all be relatively distinct.

I support the placements, regarding the vote reform. This seems like it needs more refining to be done, and I am unsure what to say overall. It seems like any major changes to the way we do things in the thread gets a lot of support for one or two days and then all attempts to continue the discussion fizzles out. It deserves more discussion, but I am not sure I really have a problem with the proposal. But the anglos idea of just having a vote on "should we change the system" is good idea for me since that should be step one regardless of anything.

No, because /myspace/ got kicked out of aa + corpo so /aeg/bro didn't see a reason to give them anything since he didn't want to write for them as much as /myspace/ (RIP).

Unicorn is a term describing posters who believe in "purity", chuubas are meant as substitutes for emotional relationships and the parasocial nature of this is a necessary element that should be maintained as an aspect of the relationship. Generally unicorns hold things like interaction with the opposite sex in an intrusive way and promiscuous behavior outside of audience interaction.
Gosling refers to someone with an unttainable desire or obsession that causes them to struggle or face mental hardship. Goslings in terms of chuubas is used to reference individuals that have fallen in love with a chuuba and while enjoying the feeling, also recognize that their love will go unfulfilled and that they're harming their ability to socialize and achieve a true emotional connection by devoting their time to an unequal one, or some shit like that

On voting reform:
Sure, the idea and proposal are fine to me. No system is flawless, and this one has ones that have been pointed out.

However, I cannot separate the fact that this was pushed so hard for like 3 days and when it comes up now, no one even bothers to discuss it. The truth is most of the issues of this thread come down to the perception of others and the assumption of wicked intent or something of the sort by many that gets thrown at people like me over small matters. The issues with both the current system and the proposal are the same in reality. It's all about assuming the worst about things, wanting to make a failsafe method and problems that frankly do not exist.

Do you really want to know the biggest problem with the proposal? Most anons, truthfully, don't have strong opinions on matters and therefore either just go "Yeah sounds good to me." or don't vote. There really isn't a major problem with the current system aside from this thread's on misconceptions about reps. I support the regions SOLELY to fix that issue since as has been mentioned, the idea that voting should be tied to one person per nation/region/whatever is the root of many concerns. While it is true that I believe local things like placement and borders should be done regionally, I don't think that this system particularly is the only way to make that possible.


I am voting in favour of this solely to destroy the writer =/= vote concept, and furthermore IF ANYTHING, we can test this out for one vote to see what happens. Does that sound reasonable to at least see how a system works in practice before we use it? Heck, try it this vote!!!! See what happens.

not quite up to date with the discussion since desu, it didn't matter too much to me, but 1) it's good that the conversation was had. their silence now could be due to any reason, including the fact that most of their points would be repeated, or it could be that they are busy, etc. 2) while it is true that people have often assumed the worst of people when that would have been uncalled for, in matters of system-crafting, you need to assume the worst, and craft your system accordingly. you should have a system that can withstand the worst intentions, instead of hoping that everyone in the system will have good intentions, no matter how much larger the number of good-faith actors are in comparison to the alternative. 3) while it is true that most are expected to be apathetic, if they are not antagonistic towards an idea, it means that it is either not important enough to make them bother to talk about it, or things are seemingly moving in a good enough direction that they don't feel compelled to change anything. either way, if it ends up being a mistake, it can be changed later on. 4) testing the new voting system while voting on whether or not we should implement it is a terrible idea. let's test out a new voting system where only i get to choose things. if you can imagine what might happen with the new system while you are voting on it you can voice your opinion of it before you lose your ability to vote on it. the only way to make your suggestion work is to have another vote to simulate how it would work, but there is no difference between that and just using the new system normally. overcomplicating things would also make it hard to try it before we vote on it, so the best option is to vote on it, test it naturally, and then vote on whether or not to change it back if enough complaints are brought up, which was what we were going to do anyways.
basically, i agree with the way things are being done right now.

alright, let me respond finally, life demanded me till now:
>Regional Borders
Anyoone is free to suggest better border for the regions but from what we worked out this made the most sense for us when we made them in regards to balance of opinion, current activity and some concerns some might have such as falseflagging.

However these are not meant to be remade before every vote. unless there has been a significant shift in activity such as one region being overly active and another only has 1 writer left, there should not be changes made. Just because someone in one region is gone for a week doesn't mean everything needs to be remade. and as for "active" i merely set the standard as, someone that at least semi regularly shows up, writes for a thread or partakes in discussions that we know of.

>2. point
Splits aren't meant to happen nilly willy, in fact the numbers given are more a demosntration than some hard rule. a region that has 7-8 people active that all are pretty much on the same page, maybe got 1-2 that don't even care about voting and overall come to a conclusion quickly don't really need a split. that would more be for when a region either gets so big that the logistics oof a discussionn because an actual hindrance or within a region people cannot come to an agreement over and over and thus a split should be considered.

for the same reason i mentioned that if a split for example in the niji region happens it should also be looked if a potential split on the holo continent makes sense to keep a balance of opinion and not make this a singling out of people or having the same odl issues with a new coat of color.

>Intraregional Discussion
no, every writer for a region should be allowed to partake in a discussion, that includes potential people that might write for threads in different regions. however if you clearly have a main region or simply write for several different regions you should also accept that people of a region might consider your opinion with less weight due to that. that should not mean it should be dismissed entirely however. on the other end if a thread has several writers while another just has 1, then people should give the one person a fair weight because obviously 5 people for one thread will more likely be of a same opinion or desire a certain thing. if we were to completly disregard the weight of nations itself we would jsut go back to the initial problem that made a voting system necessary in the first place when kronies and their multitude of writers kind of overpowered the rest of the world.

as for how regions themselves handle things is probably something that each region needs to figure out how to best handle it, to say that the same system for the niji region works well for one of the indie region would be bad.

being unanimous would always be preferable but if 9 writers say yes and 1 says no then the opinion of the majority should be respected.

as said above, if certain people in a region continue to not come to a conclusion, thats when a potential split should be considered the most.

and if only one person strongly feels about an issue and the rest don't but are fine with that opinion then that is how a region handles it, not much to do there, such is life and by agreeing with the one strong opinion even more apathetic people made a choice of their own.

>point 4
if for example i was the only active persoon left for northern indie, by having to talk with the south, thats still at least the next closest people to talk with and still gives me more weight than what the current vote system does. i was the only rep for a region for the longest time yet i was just one vote of 10-20 votes and basicly had no say in matters for my region when it came to that.

to give examples, when the whole decision to give /pcg/ more land because of phase invaders happened, i was the only one to vote no despite the only person on the whole continent at the time and it mattered not because people from threads unrelated to them made that decision instead.

same with the name "indeia" which i have always made clear that i hate that name due to its origin and hwo it came to be yet barely anyone ever respected my opinion on this matter despite again having been the only rep of the continent named as such for most of the time, while most happily continued to use the name chosen by someone not from that continent and who named it for their own personal reasons that had nothing really to do with anything related to the continent itself.

so even if it might not be perfect with the new systme either, it woould already vastly improve the matter than the old way ever did.

>Writing Tiers
Canon for a nation even with what was reworked months ago was never meant to just be in the hand of a singular person but instead decisioons for canon always were meant to be weighted by knowledge of a thread by people. and yes there could be more than oen loremaster tho it should not be the go to

>>41825048
>more than one loremaster
i believe it's more of as an hierarchy of reference if there are multiple people of the same thread. since most of us are solo it wouldnt affect much.
>decisioons for canon always were meant to be weighted by knowledge of a thread by people
BUT it will be great for collabs and cross-thread projects. we all have lurk on more than one thread. and some of us have seen stuffs the others havent when we lurked there. Like, I was there for a while in /clg/ and i like to check up on kronies in /inf/. this system can be a legitimacy check when we pool our ideas.

>> No.41826040

>>41825048
to expand a bit on the writing tiers.

they are less meant to "label" people but rather to

1. give a view for outside people who might be a potential person to ask for advice and who should be invovled for considering canon fo a thread.

2. to also ease some pressure for writers because if its clear they are not a loremaster for a thread but someone with less knowledge so maybe don't try to engage them for important poltiical decisioons for that thread or also just to simpyl signal that this person can and probably will make honest mistakes in representing a thread at times and that is not meant with ill will and engaging them and talking about such mistakes is a more civil and positive manner because i feel that in the past also a big issue was that people assumed that everyone has knoowledge X foor a thing.

big example here would be alice and panon way back with the starforts in /risu/ where the mentality kind of was "you are a rep for a nation and engage with collaborative work with a different nation, therefore you need to ahve perfect knowledge" while obviously neither was and would only be assumers for /risu/ with the proposed system, a different example more recent would be hagchad and /meat/. But people also then should not jsut go ahead and say "you are wrong, i advise you to read our lore before engaging with writing with us again." but isntead actually then point out mistakes and give actual feedback and explain your lore unlike in this example.

/Mep/ Votes:
1.Aye, welcome aboard Jew. I will watch your efforts with anticipation. I don't remember if I welcomed you, but welcome to the project. I am more than willing to provide assistance.

2.Aye, in retrospect, I think they should have not turned into provinces or at least treated like the thread that they are. /wvt/’s history dates back to /trash/ I think if I am not mistaken because ENvtubers were not allowed to be discussed on /jp/. They would be the oldest western thread I believe, and they should be represented.

3. Aye, I think that one of the bigger problems recently is that either people are not being honest which leads to them possibly sockpuppeting just to have some fun, or that things are being seen in the wrong light which leads to dreadful accusations that did a lot of damage to trust and camaraderie amongst our thread. Moonafic has taken the righteous approach here in my opinion. He has made it clear that, yes, he intends to write for pkg because he has a great love for them and ultimately wants to have fun. While there may be concerns about meta gaming, like «Oh he is just using it for allies or trade!», that really shouldn’t be concerning because if anything this reinforces his own good character here. I also have good reason to believe that this has nothing to do with allies, and trade is trade, no? This overall in my opinion will do a lot to healing the thread, as just being allowed to do this will allow for more freedom and fun.

4. Aye, I agree with this for a number of reasons.

First, it was thought out well by those who made it in my opinion, especially the arithmetic that goes into this that makes things less vague and more concrete.

Second, there is no denying there are two 'hostile' (I do not personally hold this view overall, I think a lot of it is just stress and circumstances that have led to mistrust and suspicion of malice.) groups now overall. I want to get rid of that perception by all means. It just isn’t healthy. Groups are fine, normal, and natural to occur. It is in our nature to associate with other people, and I am not quite sure all of us can be friendly and engaging to all people like souls such as Rumina anon, OG, Moonafic, and Alice are. At the same time, the groups that do develop should not be hostile to each other. Thus, on that base line, and seeing how things usually end up working, I support these groups overall and meta/geopolitically, it makes sense.

Thirdly, I would not have voted for this if it wasn’t made clear that this format is supposed to be a work in progress, something that goes through a 'trial period' before we polish it. From my own real-life experience in the Marine National as an Officer, and in my real-life work, this is essential in my opinion to get things to work properly. We will not see many problems until this is tested in action. As one saying goes «All plans do not survive contact with the enemy.» and in this case, this remains somewhat true. Who knows how it works in practice beyond concept?

Fourthly and finally, I absolutely love the idea of devolution of power in terms of minor border changes just to the regions. How this works is something I don’t know if it was mapped out, but I think it should be consensus. Furthermore, I support the concept of allowing nations to be placed as well. After all, why should I truly care where /jidf/ is placed upon the map unless they were next to me? I voted for it because I generally support the placement of nations within reason. Finally, intraregional discussion is something I particular enjoy and feel is something that this system encourages because it allows you to plan territorial changes from wars for example in advanced like Indeia did (Sorry retro, I only call it that because I feel like that is what explorers would have said, it is not to insult you or anyone from there but rather it is a short way of knowing what I am talking about, and lore wise makes a lot of sense to me unless a truly better name comes up. You guys may absolutely call it officially something else.) I, for example, agreed to some minor border adjustments with both OG and Moonafic based on natural boundaries by rivers that would change the map and given that /risu/ is a hotspot, this is ideal for me because a few pixels, when both threads agree on it, should not be something warranting a major discussion.

>I think that anyone who contributes a fair bit of lore or is exclusively focused on one region should have a say in it
So traveling writers would have a hand in whichever regions they contribute heavily into then? It's a tricky situation because some parts of the proposal seem fairly abusable, but obviously we don't want to restrict people too much or we end up back at square one. It's difficult to say where the proper middle ground lies. Out of curiosity, what of foreign nations who are heavily involved in another area in lore? Say, 2434's investments into pcg or morig having strong ties with risu? Would they, and should they for that matter, have any say in changes which may affect their relationships with other nations?
>this all depends on the thread itself being willing to work within the system
While I agree that extra bureaucracy can be frustrating, the fact remains that the thread has proven itself to need the handholding. There is enough bad-faith posting here that it evidently necessitated a new system, so I don't have much hope for every anon being willing to work within the system. That's why I wanted to highlight potential problem points now and hopefully make it easier to catch the abuse that will happen down the line or potentially avoid it entirely. Overall, there seems to be less and less trust between the anons who don't work together and I worry a bit that this shift will only deepen these divisions between us and further isolate the regions from one another. But I know first-hand how impossible it can be to remove animosity once it begins to take root. The biggest problems with this thread can't really be solved unless people are willing to chill out a bit more and not jump to accusations or assume the worst in one another, but we wouldn't be in this situation if that were the case so I guess we have to work around what we have. And sorry if it feels like I didn't address all your points properly btw. I wrote this up in a weird way and sorta ended up cannibalizing some of my thoughts here and reincorporating them in the post below.

>this was pushed so hard for like 3 days and when it comes up now, no one even bothers to discuss it
I do wish more people would be up for discussing major changes desu. It sucks being the only one willing to entertain playing the devil's advocate just to get people talking. If no one seriously sees any problems with the proposal and thinks I'm not making any sense at all then I don't mind bowing out, but when 90% of you say nothing at all it's tough to gauge whether people generally support this or if they've even read through it or what.
>It's all about assuming the worst about things, wanting to make a failsafe method and problems that frankly do not exist
I mean, we saw firsthand with the sakuran falseflag and the divegrass polls that there are people apparently willing to shit things up. From where I stand, it seems like these problems aren't just idle fantasizing about worst-case scenarios. If this thing isn't bulletproof then we will get schizos trying to shoot it down every which way they can.
>There really isn't a major problem with the current system aside from this thread's on misconceptions about reps
We don't need to overhaul everything just to correct some misconceptions. Hell, the current system technically IS the region system, just that the regions are the individual nations. If the rep is really the core of the issue, then just do away with it. Some threads don't even have an assigned rep and just discuss it amongst themselves before sending a random member to cast the "official" ballot they've agreed on. As for voter apathy, there's only so much that can be done to get people invested, but we do have some options. For one, maybe we could add a requirement that people properly explain their rationale for their votes in order for it to count. If we're worried about not enough people getting involved, then place a minimum number of votes being needed for a major change to occur or something. Obviously we might want to be less stringent with certain votes, like adding in new nations so people don't get delayed pointlessly. Personally I'm not a fan of pushing big changes through without there being any alternatives to compare against so hopefully that gets people thinking about other potential solutions and what pros and cons each may have.
>we can test this out for one vote to see what happens
A lot of what I've been trying to think about is what situations could arise if this system were used, so I'm definitely in favor of a trial run. That would probably be one of the best ways to iron out any kinks.
>>41825048
>Anyoone is free to suggest better border for the regions but from what we worked out this made the most sense for us when we made them in regards to balance of opinion
From what I've seen, it seems like people who were grouped together seem to have very similar opinions, Not only is this unbalanced, but it has the unfortunate consequence of creating echo chambers and possibly lending itself towards having more egregious changes passed without much opposition or discussion.
>in fact the numbers given are more a demosntration than some hard rule
I'm not sure that's coming across clearly in the document atm. When the proposal was presented, it seemed like it was supposed to be a polished project that had been worked on extensively rather than a WIP concept asking for discussion and changes. There are also some anons like >>41888205 citing the concreteness of the numbers which are apparently still in flux. As much as people don't want extra bureaucracy, the specificity is needed to avoid later confusion, just as no one knows how reps are supposed to work in the current system.
>Intraregional Discussion
This is another example of the proposed system being rather vague in how it will actually function. That being said, a trial vote will hopefully help settle some of this out.
>point 4
That's fair, and although one could argue that you're losing a bit of agency for the more major votes, I can see why one might find that trade-off worthwhile. This does make me wonder though, couldn't we just try a more flexible system where regional issues like a shift in borders are "voted on" solely by the nations directly involved. Taking this system to its logical conclusion, do such things even need to be voted on if there are no outspoken objections by outside nations?
>decisioons for canon always were meant to be weighted by knowledge of a thread
Having a bunch of lore archived with varying degrees of canonicity is a hundred timeloops just waiting to happen. People are already finding things disorganized enough as it is, and I'm sure no one would want to find their work overwritten by someone with higher canon clearance. Or am I misunderstanding what you are proposing here?

>I'm not sure that's coming across clearly in the document atm.
this always was labeled as a proposal so not sure what to tell you here, we hardly can specify the correct lines of where too much is too much etc. without actually testing it and also even then 4 people in one region might have more issues with each other that make a split worth considering than 8 people that are mostly in full agreement.
>This is another example of the proposed system being rather vague in how it will actually function.
if anything, this would be the first step of discussion among the regions onn what they see fit as the best way to handle things among themselves.
>That's fair, and although one could argue that you're losing a bit of agency for the more major votes, I can see why one might find that trade-off worthwhile. This does make me wonder though, couldn't we just try a more flexible system where regional issues like a shift in borders are "voted on" solely by the nations directly involved.
no because this can easily turn back into the /uuu/-/who/ issue of both nations "agreeing" when one party isn't really invested in their part. another example recently was aegbro who after everything that happened and seemingly didn't have much love anymore for his former thread wanted to cut his nation down to 1/3 of the former size, which is also not something we should just let happen in itself.
>Having a bunch of lore archived with varying degrees of canonicity is a hundred timeloops just waiting to happen.
there will not be varying degrees of canon, if its written and fine then its canon, the only time this would ever be changed is when for example i were to write for /nina/ which i might not be the most qualified for and later on we get a writer for /nina/ thats way more qualified and considers the previous stuff not fitting for /nina/ at all. but this was also already how it was meant before when we had situations of people writing outside their own nation.

rep are you gonna vote this round?

Here are my thoughts:
>1. Agree. Climate's perfect for (((them))). Not that many regions with Levent-like climates left in the world.
>2. Abstain.
>3. Abstain.

>4. Agree. Absolutely needs a trial period. Although I think the spirit of it is admirable, Kobokek said most of the things I wanted to say. The region system is very redundant. I think it should only be applied to decisions directly related to the region/continent in question. And for the suggested benefit of promoting regional cooperation between anons I think the current system, in that there is no system already works okay. The problem is the imagined groups that schizos and anons themselves conjured up. The tiered system is also something that I don't think should be an actual rule. Again the current representative and loremaster system already does that! Though I agree anons could explain their history with the thread they are writing for better so people could trust them. Since this project have transformed much from the pioneer era, where almost threads actually have participation and discussions in them that can verify an anon's identity. Being more transparent this way could make anons more trusting.

The proposal needs a lot of ironing out though I'm not opposed to a trial to see if it can help with things. My opinion on most of the things wrong with the thread is still just don't bite bait lol and don't throw insults at each other willy nilly. But if the system can be proven to work while not impeding things too much I will welcome it. I might be interested in rewriting the current bylaws and intro doc to specify the "roles" in the thread, as an alternative to consider after we have finished with the trial.

If you are not gonna vote you okay with transferring it to me for this week?

While I agree that we don't want people at opposite ends of the spectrum forced together and in constant screaming matches, pairing everyone up with their buddies feels to me like it may cause some issues. At one end, they may be less likely to shoot down crazier ideas due to unconscious biases. On the other hand, it gives people little reason to leave their regional bubble and I fear that things will get worse with reduced collaboration between the regions. We may have to agree to disagree on this one.
>issue of both nations "agreeing" when one party isn't really invested in their part
I suppose one solution would be to let the relevant threads decide for themselves with everyone else stepping in to veto if things seem unfair, which is also kind of what was happening already in those cases I suppose. But judging where that line should be drawn isn't always easy to be fair. Overall, general apathy seems to be a recurring issue which will most likely cause problems in any system we use.

i think people are somehow makign the regional thing bigger than what it is meant to be, the regions first and foremsot only matter for the purpose of voting, they should have zero impact on lore writing. just because i am in region A and you are in region B does not mean we cannot write with each other or that this should have any impact on collaborative works

and yes, this is exactly why i wanted it included for the vote despite fully knowing this is not yet where it needs to be in the end but otherwise many simply don't chime in as i already said before. "as long as it doesn't matter for me now, i don't care." is a common trend for many matters.

i also don't believe that this change in itself will magically fix everything. the biggest point to me here is that a "new" system will also bring the feeling of "new" thinking and that some of the shackles created in many peoples minds can be loosened with that. if nothing else, the only thing i really feel strongly about is seperating voting and writing from each other because i feel thats where a lot of issues actually arise from and with the current system i have no faith that when something big will come up that many people will put in votes for their own objective view on things but rather if and how it will affect friends of theirs.

if anyone wonders why, take the last time i proposed the shared island between /vrt/ and /nasfaqg/ and how most people wanted to have it talked out more yet many of the same people didn't say a single word about when panon marked the islands that alice wanted for /2434/ without any discussion or vote about it at all despite in both cases it was islands that were added by the mapanon based on the desires we spoke of in the thread for writing usage

no one said it wasn't right, the only thing a few mentioned that the same should apply to /2434/ but hanafag even voted under the wrong impression that /2434/ already got those islands.

and that isn't my point, the point is that when those islands were added and we talked about it sicne they were given for our requests, we said back then it should first be discussed and voted upon yet panon went ahead and declared them for /2434/ on their map anyway and not a single one of people that were friendly with alice pointed out this as an issue, only after others pointed this out was it backpedaled and it then came to a point that it needs to be discussed first and some rules set. a discussion that many cited for their reason to vote abstain and then once the vote was done immeaditly dropped any discussion about it because it didn't matter to them anymore.

a bias is there and its clear, and while my example might make it seem onesided, i also hold the same true the other way around like how a potential nijimales vote may would have gone. and because of these biases i have zero faith in a vote as it currently stands to be objective for a matter and not to consider friends first.

New floor draft. Just keeping it simple with no furniture. Redid the ovens to have two on the same side. So capacity is 24 loaves per bake. Also there should be enough room in the rising room to have four shelves which contain up to 24 loaves per shelf. So max capacity is 96 loaves. But keep in mind other kinds of bread will be rising.

Can I get some feedback from Hoomans so far?

Being able to bake 48 loaves at a time is a start. The raising room can raise 96 loaves at a time. Keep in mind once bread is done rising its immediately prepared and baked. Also the shelves will continually be rotated throughout the day. As for cooling bread can cool on the store shelves in front or behind the clerks next to the low wall. We have to adjust production based on how many customers we get. We're mostly limited by how many ovens and stove tops we have. Worse comes to worse we build ovens outside of the building. This is all assuming we get insanely popular.

Also the lounge area is just a temporary name. Most likely the area will be used for washing clothes, towels, and other daily maintenance duties.

We sell preserved bread. We can cook other things besides bread if we have to. We can choke the ovens and turn them into smokers. Our best meat pies recipes require smoked meat. Also if we make sandwiches then smoked meat is essential. Mayonnaise, mustard, catsup, and other condiments will still be made.

Also we will assist the community by putting our heads together to figure out how to solve the problems that would lead to a food shortage before they happen. Or if it is inevitable then we will prepare as much as we can to help everyone survive.

Alright, as a follow up to this, done some more thinking

>All the holomems are now closer to demigods than actual gods. They are ageless but can die from injury or sickness.
>They are sustained through worship and followers. Technology is equivalent to our world's, maybe slightly behind.
>No longer strictly city-states but countries/nations are small, compacted, and generally squeezed together. Even the largest of them don't even have half a mil in population. Total world pop is about 50 million.
>The hexagonal shit was dumb, fuck that
>The land outside of the nations is caked in monsters which frequently encroach, making habitation difficult
>Past a certain point outside chartered lands is endless fog, making it even harder to expand one's territory
>Keeping populations fed and sheltered is hard due to limited resources and lands, which means open conflict is rare. It still does happen however
>When a land appears, they pop into existence from the fog as if they had always been there. When a nation dies (their talent being fired/quitting IRL), it becomes desolate and empty, as well as impassable. This means it's entirely possible to become boxed in by dead lands.
>World's still flat, still 120 years old
>Yagoo is the only true god of the setting. He exists in an infinitely tall tower at the center of the world and smites the civilizations of those who sin in his eyes. He has ended many civilizations who break his rules
>Examples of sins including attempting to annex another territory utterly, attempting to settle in lands of former nations, becoming too large of a nation/expanding too quickly, attempting to use magics that jeopardize the world's safety, or attempting to destroy/conquer Yagoo

I forgot to mention. Each square is about 5 feet or a little over 1.5 meters. 5 feet per square is usually my go-to grid because 3 squares is 5 yards or 4.5 meters round down. 5 feet is also enough room for two people to pass without touching usually.

The entire thing is a game or game mod concept... I don't even understand what your aim is if not a game concept.
The concept of this thread is a world where people can write collaboratively to represent the board as a fantasy world. You're sort of taking that loose-rules world and putting more rules around it to make it like a rigid system, like a game.

It's sounds good though. I've thought often I'd want to play a Civ mod of this thread's world.

It's unformed chaos. When new civilizations are created by god, the land clears. From the perspective of the new civilization, they have always been there, although they cannot remember a time before.
Strange creatures often wander out of the fog said to be the nightmares of god, half-finished mistakes cast out from his vision that sometimes require the intervention of the nation's rulers to best.
This often taxes countries resources, which results in them either cooperating, trading, or raiding each other since flat out invasion doesn't work in this setting
Attempting to enter the fog is fatal. Nothing ever returns from going in. And what comes out isn't pleasant either.

I did kind of have an idea when coming up with this that it's like God playing a game, and that the talents are his playthings given how he smites them when they "break his rules". Sort of like a cruel and angry old testament god sort of deal

Like I said it's a system that keeps everything in balance. The fog and monsters in a ring around the world could be an interesting thing to write about sure.

An example is, since these are all vtubers and stuff, obviously, the streaming and entertainment is something which happens in this universe too, but it's also a sociopolitical tool. Your land's ruler plays together with another to entertain the masses, and in turn is energized by their positive feedback. It's almost like propaganda

Looking pretty cozy. Though I think you might want the "warehouse" to do something else, since that seems a little small. Maybe it's the stair to the cellar down below.

Also if I ever see this thread called “Virtual Liver” again, i will lose it. Seeing it numerous times has already pissed me off as that isnt our threads name.

It's not much of a concern but that looked like where the topic was going and probably would have made a better fourth vote in hindsight.

It depends on what Hoomans have available in that region. Since we're on a mountain slope wood's going to be a little scarce. So the first floor will be stone with red brick chimneys. Second floor might be logs sealed by plaster or wattle and daub.

NTA but For the record, when I made the vote, I made it with the intent of deciding how we were going to proceed with it, whether it was agree on change or agree on proposal. I was not told then that anyone really agreed on intent that much thus as Retro desired, I went with agree on proposal. If you had made your voice know, i would have worded it that way.

Its probably not on the slope directly. Its my guess for the biome of the town being a steppe because it is so close to /rrat/ which is almost all mountains. If not a steppe then a north mountain valley. Which can be pretty cozy.

>>41996847
This kind of construction is called half-timbered I think. The ground floor will be stone. Second floor will be plaster or wattle and daub walls braced by polished timbered wood. The property will be on the edge of town, but will be on a major road for miners and traders to stop by.

Wait how close to the borders do you want the town to be? And do you want it to be more north or south? I don't think the rivers that are basically on the border are that good in terms of fishing. Since those are probably more streams than proper rivers but apparently the rivers bit further from the foot are pretty good for fly fishing.

I think a good first step would be actually placing the city on the map, otherwise I foresee this just going around in circles.

The thing is that bread dog said it's a town, not a city. I don't have such a detailed map that I can confidently find a place to put it compared to a proper city.

>>41997600
Just say about where do you want it to be. There's a reason the map is empty aside from a few important cities. There should be quite a lot of places with good mining opportunities within the mountain basin.

I think that would be between you and Cunt. I'm just making the building.

>>41998422
The idea I want is a "trade town". A place where the traders, farmers, and miners gather to trade stuff. Its urbanized enough to not be rural but its not a densely packed metropolis. Which is funny because that's what my hometown used to be during the oil boom in the 40s but died in the 90s.

key phrase is "start baking" as in the bread's not out of the oven just yet. page 9 is a good time to get the format ready, not to post the new thread.
