How would you two hypothetically deal with a bill that was split the community, where it's nearly divided half and half. How would you appease the most people?

I’d obviously want everyone to be happy with a decision, rather than just a majority, so I’d probably try to help both sides discuss it in a more organized way to see if they could come to one decision. But if that fails, I think I’d ask one person from each side of the bill if they could make a decision between the two of them, and I’d go with that.

I don’t want to choose based on the majority, I want to choose based on everyone. So if everyone is being stubborn, I’d ask just two people to figure it out between them, representing the opinion they share with others. This would hopefully represent the conclusion that would come from more time for everyone to talk about it.

Edit: Since we’re also choosing the delegate via consensus, I’ll probably see how things turn out with this and form some ideas from it.

In the event that the community is evenly divided I would use discretion and either abstain from voting (purposefully) or I would choose based on my own knowledge of the proposal. In the minimum delegate responsibilities listed by wintermoot, voting on WA resolutions is a requirement, but a purposeful abstinence from voting due to community division would likely be the best option, and I doubt many would object to that

Thank you for the question that was a very good one :)

I was thinking about abstaining too, so I have a question for you that I asked myself.

Which comes first, your requirements, or the happiness of Wintreath?

In the vast majority of cases abstaining would be my first choice, it would require some sort of unusual circumstance for me to feel the need to not abstain

Two things:
Do you think this is a valid fulfillment of your role?

And another situation. If there was a clear majority and minority on a resolution, would you go with the majority, try to have everyone come to a consensus, or something else?

uhhhh

Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. :)

We started off the discussion that will eventually lead to a new delegate, which you can read above here on the RMB. It's been pretty lively between The Age of Dystopia and Aportistopireistan, and hopefully the other candidate will be able to join in soon. :D

We've also had some new nations join over the weekend! Welcome to Harvested Rice (Rice for all!), Bonve Maxtrorinja, The Civilian Republic of America, Sitamgarh! Thanks for joining up with us! We're glad to have you. If you feel comfortable and haven't already, please introduce yourself and let us know what made you choose Wintreath. We'd love to hear from you. :D

Why We Should Condemn The Communist Bloc

It Would Be Really Funny

Let’s get the obvious one out of the way; it would be extremely hilarious to condemn TCB. Why? Simple. Because Condemning them would irreversibly change their reputation towards a more negative light, effectively screwing them over. That is where the funnies would come from. My fellow sadists agree that messing over other people for the fun of it is very humorous. Especially messing with the reputation of a big region (like TCB) would undoubtedly induce giggles across the globe.

Too Many Commies

I hate commies, you hate commies, we all hate commies. Unfortunately TCB is filled with a lot of them. Nine out of seven researchers agree that the world was better off without communism, that is why it is important that we stop the spread of it; and the only way we can stop communism is by Condemning TCB. Then, and only then, can freedom and democracy be achieved.

They’re Brainwashing Our Children

TCB is inherently left-wing. As such, it means that they are brainwashing our children. Filling their brains with dangerous ideas, such as health care and public education. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. Allowing them to continue on could spell disaster for the future. However, if we Condemn them now then their still may be hope that the next generation won’t be doomed.

---

They Caused Global Warming

Little known fact, but TCB has an air force. This Air Force is rather large, and contributes towards global carbon emissions. This means that TCB is indirectly directly responsible for global warming. Condemning then is the only repercussion that would be satisfactory.

I Said So

Let’s face it, I am the most epic nation ever. So when I say you should do something, you should probably do it. I am so cool in fact, that I posted a definitely real gif of definitely me walking away from a definite explosion, definitely not looking back at it. That is how awesome I am. And if you believe I am awesome (voluntarily or otherwise), you’ll support my notion to Condemn The Communist Block.

Read dispatch

But would TCB appreciate the badge? It is an impressive region, at least as far as I know of it, and they seem to do a lot. "The Communist Bloc" is a pretty great obvious name for new players too...I mean, if you're into communism or want to roleplay as a communist nation, it's an obvious choice to check out just by the name alone.

I know this is a joke dispatch, but hey, you're almost always going to get serious from me. I have a minimal sense of humour lol.

Unlikely to never happening, because it would be a lot of effort for Moot, who probably doesn’t even have Roblox. But it’d be cool

I've never even played Roblox lol.

It doesn't necessarily have to be up to me to run everything though. Alcubierre (otherwise known as taulover) runs our Minecraft server, and he does an awesome job of it. I enjoy being a simple player on there. :)

But this time I read all the posts I missed! I deeply apologize to those who open up their account and are shocked to see their notice count... I totally had nothing to do with that. :P

I guess that just means we get to welcome you back again! :D

I'm a star wars guy, but mostly because my parents introduced me to star wars first and I never really got into star trek until relatively recently. I feel that I might have liked trek better if I started with that so idk though.

Same here. I don't see it as an either/or proposition. I like them both, two sides of a coin. Star Trek was a game changer. Star Wars relies heavily upon Arthurian tropes crossbred with Western movies.
