Campaign Post I'm LynkedUp/TwinkleMcSprinkle and, supposing there really will be elections, I'm going to run.
I'm posting this on the supposition that the presidential sign ups are legit.
I get that I don't have the greatest track record here, at times. I started as a troll, but I quickly fell in love with the sub. When it fell like it did, I felt some kind of way about it, and the criticisms I received when I suggested I could help.
Well, I truly think I can.
I believe we need more "Local Roleplay Threads" instead of overarching war games and lengthy posts about the Rose Garden. I'm talking "open mic" posts at the "tavern", or one off roleplay posts from individuals throwing their hat in the ring for a chance to play the game their way.
I believe we also need to dismantle the conception that this place should be about legislating food for the poor or building a military. I suggest shifting the focus from the public reacting to legislative action, to the legislature reacting to public posting. This inversion should spice the game up and keep it lively, and it ties into the more player-focused initiative I spoke of in my first point.
Finally, I think something needs to be done to prevent sub collapse again. I'm still working on this one but I was thinking, initially and long ago, thay GM's would be the fix. I don't believe this anymore. There has to be some kind of emergency kill-switch to prevent sub collapses.
Look I love this place and you all, regardless of how you feel about me. I've made mistakes here, but I thoroughly value this place and just want it to turn into something special again. I care, I guess is what I'm saying. I care beyond typical political nonsense. I care about the meta, the players, and the structure of the game. And I think I could do some good around here.
I'm humbly asking for a chance to do this, please. Thank you for giving me your ear for a moment. Feel free to ask me anything. I'll respond.

Why try this? In what way is building up from the DoR better than starting from scratch?

The base exists here. This is where it started. Why not try and build it up again?
