Posted February 7, 2018 Why I should believe that a political system in an online life simulation game isn't just going to turn into a giant shitposting match? I mean, look at politics in real life right now. Now, imagine that, but all candidates are basically just virtual avatars that can say or do whatever they want without any real world consequence. There's no way this isn't going to immediately crash and burn in glorious fashion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The political aspects of the game have not been fully implemented, however, the Governor will not have enough power to ruin the game for other players!

I wasn't suggesting that they could, I was just suggesting that the political system itself, especially the election process, is probably going to become one giant shitposting contest, where the winner is decided by the side that has the rarest Pepes.

Candidates will present sales tax and so forth that may determine votes as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2018 I am not well placed to elaborate more on that subject. I would suggest to wait until more information is released about politics in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 8, 2018 The serious politicians would merely transfer to a serious private server if the official servers are incapable of roleplaying these roles effectively within the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 9, 2018 the majority of candidates that are currently wanting to become governor have put a lot of time and work into their promotion. if they decided that they would turn around one day and start shitposting another candidate, they would be putting quite literally a year of work at high risk. it wouldn't be worth it for them to. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is true, I’ve been campaigning for over a year now and one must believe I won’t be putting that to waste. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
