Nation States - The Great Continent of Entmoot - Page 12

Another idea I have - which i don't know if it will be granted or not - is to have our own Forum. That way we can have discussions concerning our country and states and have multiple threads - which will prevent this from getting so clugged.

We can have moderators based on the Constuition and elected officials will manage the forum then.

This took off far faster than what I thought. Any thoughts regarding this?

Okay - certain things have come to my attention. We have to organize a bit.

1)We should set up a central government and unite together and form the United States of Entmoot I think. You will still be able to vote on your issues as you like - but we should have some sort concensus on things - such as war and the UN.

Sounds like a good idea. It will ultimately depend on the form that this gov't adopts before I'll join in though.

See ans to 1)

I have a feeling this might cause problems with Europeans who will then want to use a European map. Therefore - do you wish to draw up a completely unique map, use the real world map (keeping us all on one continent for the time being), or what?

How about using a modified map of Pangea. That way almost everyone can have what they want and everyone can still be on one "island"

I would like Dunedain and Valandil to present their issues and then during the course of the day people can vote. tomorrow we will tally up the votes and that wil be the outcome. (This is one of the reasons I think we need a Constitution and Government).

If you have any ideas or suggestions - let me know.

Dunedain can be high king of the West and Valandil can be high king of the East.

Additionally - as part of the Constitution.

5) we should set up a court system to handle disputes such as this between states.

I think Millane has this covered. (with his iron fist. )

I think this would be the best idea, that is if the Admins allow this. It would be very helpful and would take away from the clutter as well...Especially since we already have 25 countries created!!

jerseydevil · 01-28-2004, 06:06 PM

Well if we get our own forum created - which I think I may be able to convince people of - hopefully - we would have a representative government.

The governments powers should be limited.

I will try to get the forum negotiated and then maybe we can go and discuss our central government. I'm looking at something similar as the United States - where the states retain their rights. I'm for state rights. I leave local issues up to the states. Declaring war and joining the Un should be a central decision though in my view. If we decide to join the UN - we can then all vote on a delagte and so forth.

As for the court system - that needs to be representative. Not all the power in one person.

As I said though - we will talk more about a central government if I can get the forum. It will be too difficult to manage a central government in one thread. It's hard enough trying to manage this with 25 states.

Dúnedain · 01-28-2004, 06:09 PM

The issue updates are making me mad! First they take forever and second I only got 1 issue today even though mine is set for 2

gimli7410 · 01-28-2004, 06:12 PM

i dont think the forum idea will work. i mean we wont be playin this game forever. i could only see specific threads. and why are we calling our places states and not provinces

jerseydevil · 01-28-2004, 06:14 PM

We lost a country by the way - "The Jingoistic States of Ploeterpoep" left. Does anyone know who they are?

I don't know about you, but mine is neither, it's a Kingdom!

I think the forum idea will work, it will be cleaner and separate where we dont have to search all over for things and the admins/mods wont make us post in only one thread. If it's in one thread we won't get anything done or organized or me declaring war on Valan...errr nevermind

Because Provinces is so lame.

Anyway - it's Nation States.

I think the forum idea could work because others might join that are not part of this now. Even if your country departs - you can actually give your country to someone else if you get tired of it. Just put your country up on the auction block.

We can make this very interesting or we can just go our own way. I for one would rather do the interesting thing.

gimli7410 · 01-28-2004, 06:34 PM

provinces kick ass

well its all up to ben or tristan for the forum. have you asked them yet

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
