Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Grumpy Celt" data-source="post: 2885854" data-attributes="member: 1019">There are three issues (A, B and C below) with this discussion thread rendering it useless and one problem (D below) rendering it a rules violation.A. The majority of the people involved in this “discussion” are ignoring – either through ignorance or deliberately – the fact that rules for governing have already been presented, both by WotC and by second party publishers.  This includes, but is not necessarily limited to; Empire, Fields of Blood and Power of Faerun. However, majority of the people involved in this “discussion” are blithely ignoring these rules and chattering endless with time-wasting, space taking clap-trap as though the rules did not and do not exist.B. The majority of the people involved in this “discussion” are sloppily using terms that actually have specific definitions. If the people involved are not agree on what, for example, the term monarchy despotism means (and further they refuse to acknowledge that they are not agree on the definition of the term) then they are simply talking past each other, in which case the discussion automatically becomes a narcissistic masturbatory waste of time.C. As a strictly fictional construct from beginning to end, the only government’s that will ever work will be whatever ones the writer and/or DM dreams up as a manifestation of their personal despotic fantasies. Any other considerations are at best incidental and at worst offer the writer and/or DM sport in the chance to stomp on people who have the temerity to disagree with them.D. The rules of this board strictly forbid political discussions. This thread should not have been started, let alone allowed to continue.And everyone knows King Uber-Knickers the 3rd was a half-wit, but his son Fancy Pants was a real go-get 'um tyrant...</blockquote>
