Make believe laws don't work
•
by infin
The eAustralian forums aka "the fount of all wisdom" is currently deliberating whether we should institute make-believe laws to pretend we have a Senate this month. That is even though eAustralia was wiped on the critical date and thus we are not entitled to have a Senate under eRepublik laws.
You can see the discussion here.
Now some people have argued "If we don't have a senate then who will supervise the expenditure of the Country President?" Normally the Senate acts as a house of review to ensure the CP spends country finances wisely. Well regardless of whether we have the make-believe Senate or not, it won't matter, because the make-believe Senate has no power in-game over the CP!
Role playing simply doesn't work in this game. The only thing that works is people operating within their spheres of actual power be it military, business or political. Perceived or make-believe power is a paper tiger, because once the make-believe power is ignored, all we have left is a bunch of tired and cranky kids, upset that their role-playing fantasy was ignored.
If we want to have a Senate we have to win a region back, that's all there is to it. Make-believe games don't win us regions back.

Well said infin.
Actually make-believe laws resulting from a make-believe debate in a make-believe place by make-believe people can actually work. It is analagious to the movie Inception.
make believe political statements are fun.
But where does this all fit into the Unity quest? Since the majority of other parties seem ok to go on with the NES and only your party is opposed? Wouldn't a sign of unity with the eAus people be agreeing simply because the majority does?
It's ok to disagree even in unity
Then Unity, as implied, would mean you would disagree over the proposal in the halls of the senate but show a united front in articles otherwise what is the point other than political manipulation and word play?
This article is clearly not an act of Unity.
You are one of the worse role players around infin, this is just another case of you playing the game of politics and attempting to score brownie points.
Larni you twist yourself up in your own words. I am entitled to my own opinion, and don't have to agree with anyone for the sake of "unity".
well i appoint myself the make believe eGod
FEAR ME MINIONS AS I PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION \o/
Here we go Larni - if the majority of make believe players in a make believe Senate portray themselves as a pretend make believe hall of power come to a decision, an ounce of realism can crack it's whip FTW.
In the words of the wise Master of all things eRep:
"Well regardless of whether we have the make-believe Senate or not, it won't matter, because the make-believe Senate has no power in-game over the CP!"
Infin 4 CP!
Thanks for the article infin.
I was well informed of all this role play forum nonsense when i came to the country and was told to stay well away from it.
I'm glad i have.
If you people worried more about our country and getting it back instead of your make-believe politics and make-believe political party and your make-believe political campaigns we might have some make-believe regions back by now.
😁😁😁
Agreed
XG lives in a world of make believe!
He visits it & its called eRep Larni
so what it your option? I see lots of complaining these days, but no options. And I don't mean ideas, I mean fleshed out plans. In lieu of a "make believe" senate, who will we have representing the people in the government until the next elections?
We have won NSW.
But I do agree with this to a degree. However, as has been said in past comments, this is a make-believe world. So by playing this game, you have chosen to 'role-play' an eAustralian.
The option is that the CP runs the show.
