From: Crissaegrim Clutterbuck Blows me away that this is the cream of the (political discussion) crop and gets five pages of ramblings when so many other threads below are virtually ignored (pun intended). So the consciousness of SL is challenged by a pop political order based on the ideology of a high school popularity contest? And after all that I have read about the sophistication of the SL crowd compared to, say, WoW.... All I can say is, "WoW."  You forget that both virtual worlds are still inhabited by the same, extremely flawed human beings.

Mob mentality sucks for anything I hope no one takes stuff like this seriously this is how people used to get lynched for nearly nothing once upon a time. I would hope we have as human beings grown out of such peer pressure things but posts like this worry me...

What do you guys think of Neualtenburg ( www.neualtenburg.info, wiki.neualtenburg.info) as a model? What do you find are it's strengths and weaknesses and how would you improve upon it as a resident run democratic gov't?

Remember, part of the idea of this system is that you cannot see what others are voting. There is no "mob mentality" when you have no idea what the rest of the world thinks.
In short, tick off enough people, get your comeuppance.
Sounds fair to me.
