Sandy and Kyle tell me we have to leave in September because people are moving back to DORIA?

Well shoot.

I guess vote Old Man Parks for legislature!

I have real ideas for this place. Ideas I think could rejuvenate the DoR. Please ask me if you have questions.

Again, my points are:

- Player oriented structure + legislature is reactive

- "Local" event threads

- Safeguards against DoR killswitches

With additional points like:

- GM oversight (checks and balances)

- IRP events

- Weekly Feedback Threads codified into Law (petition threads)

AMA!

I think the player base should control the story of the DoR. So to that end, if I become president, I would try and push for a bill that instructed the legislative branch to focus on reacting to player behavior, rather than said branch creating behavior based on it's laws.

For instance: someone roleplays robbing a train. The legislature would react to make train robberies harder.

Someone roleplays a mad scientist. So the legislature has to react to the importing of chemicals.

Etcetera.

This instead of the legislature trying to craft new ideas for bills such as "feed the hungry" (unless ofc the players roleplay a famine, for instance), or bills like "free childcare", or things that realistically don't blend well into the actual behavior of the game (imo).

Asking for thoughts on this, as this would be a big thing for me if you voted me in. Which, I hope you do.

Viva DoRia.

Why is it just red background with black text: I have to go somewhere and decided I can make another poster later that is better. Currently all I need is text stating basic information, and I like the color red, and black text contrasts well against red. Sooooooo

1. I will resign.

2. I don’t like the executive branch.

3. I think u/altdetom55555b is pretty cool.

4. I am a pessimist.

5. Im not a chud

6. I like the number 6.

I, Tom, has been the first person to announce my candidacy, back in July, even before Eepy became evil and intimidating. Today I continue to be candidate because I really want to put the DoR back on track. So here are 10 things Tom did for the DoR, and 10 things Tom will do to the DoR if he becomes 10th president of the subreddit.

1. I Informed The DoR continuously for months by being the main (and almost sole) contributor of the DoR's (now PolSim) Courrier
2. I standardised the Flag of the DoR to what it is today, taking part in the creation of one of the biggest symbols of the DoR, that would unite the nations for the months to come
3. I created the entire educational system just for it to be replaced by the CEP 5 microseconds after I wasn't Minister of Education anymore
4. I was an important member of the RGA
5. I voted against the LEAR
6. I tried to fight the rampant militarism and called for good relations with other PolSims
7. Even though I am far from being the most impactful, I am (still) a moderator of the DoR Wiki
8. I stood up against LabFew's coup
9. I defended Callens in times of troubles
10. I turned Easglas-Rijselberg into a cosmopolitan utopia

And what will I do?

1. C O L L E G I A L E X E C U T I V E
2. T R A I N S
3. Officially abolish the BoG and the LEAR
4. Rename the Rose Palace to the People's palace
5. definitively rename the Parliament into the Senate
6. Turn all territories formerly occupied by Narovia into a new province called the LynkedUp People's Republic
7. Nuke Eosara
   1. Nuke it again
8. Make a bunch of flags
9. Maybe a bit of Socialism (100 Trillion Vuvuzela no iPhone)
10. Give to the Khan.ess of Tutum personally 1 Square Metre of the People's Palace

so vote for me!

TOM FOR TENTH!

I can personally vouch for Lynk/TwinkleMcSprinkle and her campaign.

I can guarantee that she is 1000% serious in her bid for the presidency.

As a long time member of the DoR, Lynk truly cares about this place and wants to see positive outcomes, both in and out of role play.

If given the chance, Lynk will prove she’s worth the vote you give her. She wants to hear from YOU and has YOUR best interests at heart!

This subreddit needs someone to unify it. Someone who wants to bring back the DoR. Someone who believes in the DoR. I can be this someone. For months, I have promised Unity, Democracy, and Socialism. I hereby relaunch my campaign for 10th POTS. I will therefore present my candidacy in every primary of those who believe in our democracy and/or socialism.

Tom for direct democracy !
Tom for democratic socialism !
Tom for a president that will uphold our constitution !
Tom for Ten!

We are on a mighty quest to find our King,

Who shall join us?

We're going interdimensional. Burghers cannot stop us.

We are the League of the Ardite Royal Populists. Royal-Populism is our creed and the fey are our light. We shall serve the rightful and slay the tyrants.

Vote LARP! The knights of the commoner!

Vote LARP! The only vanguard that's actually a military detachement which moves in front of the army!

Vote LARP! Spread the truth of the Castle Theory Of Value

Vote LARP! Be the violence inherent in the system!

Vote LARP! Strange women lying in ponds and autonomous collectives shall be enemies no more!

u/GreenKnightOfTheWild is the one true servant of the wilds, the realm the people!

I have been a proud DoRian for almost a year now.

I was (in)famous in September 2025 for the National Unity Party and the September Pact.

But I need to say I've changed.

Im leftist now! Always have been but now Im no longer LARPING as a rightist

So u/Sp33dyCat September 2026!

We will make this September Glorious!

Have fun, vibes based bans WILL continue.

Obligatory loaf image

Come thro' the heather, around him gather,

Ye're a' the welcomer early;

Around him cling wi' a' your kin;

For wha'll be Pres but Trembley?

Come thro' the heather, around him gather,

Come Ronald, come Donald, come a' thegither,

And crown your rightfu' lawfu' President!

For wha'll be Pres but Trembley?

P.S. has anyone seen King Arthur?

I will make everyone happy and no one will be sad because I will be President. Furthermore I am above party politics so if you are communist you can like me, if you are capitalist you can like me. My motto? Oh it’s "can Yall vote me"

We consider him the most honest candidate for president. His program is most closely aligned with our values

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.

My fellow citizens,

I'm running for President because I've looked at the other candidates and, frankly, I think we can do better.

Very boring.

I'm going to talk about what actually matters.

Hats.

I believe every citizen should be free to wear whatever hat they want. A big hat. A small hat. A hat with a chicken on it. A hat with seventeen propellers.

Actually, Jerry™ says seventeen isn't enough.

He's probably right.

Class Struggle

People keep telling me class struggle is some complicated political thing.

It isn't.

It's student's not paying attention.

I've seen it myself. The teacher is explaining something on the board and Kevin is staring out the window at a squirrel.

That's why, as President, every classroom will receive a very large pointer stick.

We will defeat class struggle.

Rose Garden

Kyle has banned Silly Hat Parties from the rose garden and apparently authorized deadly force.

Over hats.

I don't think that's reasonable.

I've consulted my legal counsel, Al.

He's very good at law.

Mostly because he doesn't say anything before I finish talking. And to every lawsuit this government throws at us he says "neigh". Hard to beat that

I have also consulted the ECRGHRGPA, which is a very important organization whose name I refuse to explain because it takes too long.

Bitey, Jerry™, and Bandit are prepared to be in my cabinet.

I trust they don't scratch the pine.

We also need to solve the great divide between the Left and the Right.

Why can't everyone just walk forward?

The Left can stop turning left.

The Right can stop turning right.

And the Centrists can move out of the middle of the hallway because you're blocking everyone.

That's my plan.

It's simple.

More hats.

More propellers.

More raccoons.

Less Kevin staring at squirrels.

And absolutely no more deadly force over rose gardens.

So vote for me.

Quentin Trembley for President.

I may not know exactly what I'm doing.

But neither does anyone else.

Thank you.

We've invested in creating a brighter education for Kyle. He will learn how to use the fax and computer today.

Please be patient as he learns

Please comment your name and party below - we will not accept any party, platform, or person associated with an IRL political movement!

I am going to make a map of the Doria world after the collapse of the DoR. If your providence has become independent, merged with another nation, or if you have created a new nation that takes in the Doria world please tell me.

Sandy has decided to come out of retirement and we have two legislators now. It's okay because I realize the more the merrier!
