Voting in Neualtenburg, is it upon us?

Just as much relevance as the " come look at my l33t club" or "look I masturbate in my feces " threads.

Moopf I like ya and I loved your shops..... but I remember you posting here about your new rollerskates a ways back....how is this different?

Erm Talen, actually very different as /invalid_link.html (which is the only thread I think you're referring to, reason being it's the only thread that mentions my skates apparently) wasn't even started by me. So yeah, very different.

Talen, you've put me off my dinner now lol.

sorry, memory was a little off....either way Ulrika was letting the community know that we have gotten to a point where elections will be happening. She isn't selling anything and I don't see the difference between someone telling us of happenings in SL and this.

I tried to say it as nicely as possible

So I take it you're part of the Neualtenburg project then? Just checking.

I am not really overly familiar with Ulrika, but I suspect there may be deeper friction against her or her project fueling the "You are in the wrong forum" arguement.

It would appear she is making a public offer to all SL users to get involved in a political project. That would make the General forum the right place to announce. It certainly seems more on topic than a lot of General posts.

(bracing for impact)

Thanks Aimee. I think you understand the reasoning here.

To be honest I've never really had much contact with Ulrika on the forums at all, and I don't really have an opinion of her either way, apart from knowing that she made a great video for the animation contest and that she's really interested in politics. The "you are in the wrong forum" argument comes from Linden Lab themselves making the rules, creating the specific little pidgeon holes that they do. Even if you don't agree with those pidgeon holes, it would be nice if people actually stuck to them, or if LL showed some consistency.

What interests me most you're the only person who's posted in support so far that isn't actually a part of the Neultenburg group. Gwyneth, Talen and Pendari all appear to be from what I can make out, so it's hardly suprising that they won't find it off-topic. She's made this appeal several times before about getting people involved. Those that wanted to, did. I agree that it's a lot more on-topic that a lot of general posts, but I just happened to read this one, and still find it off-topic in view of the fact that they have their own group forum to do this.

Maybe so, but you *DID* start all of the following threads in the General Forum that are about the Numbakulla Island Project

/120/08/26175/1.html

/120/f6/25565/1.html

/120/19/28744/1.html

/120/41/28858/1.html

And personally I enjoyed seeing and reading those threads on the General Forum. But in all honesty, I do not see them as *any* different than this thread by Ulrika.

I'm not part of it either and I have no trouble with a thread like this. It's an SL 1st by the sounds of it so why not.

Sure beats another poll about cheese or pecan pie.

Mooph --How is the announcement any different than this?

/120/19/28744/1.html

Sure, I'll address that. If you read my posts you'll find that my complaint is because this project already has it's own, well used apparently, board on this forum. Does the Numbakulla Project? Nope.

See, you can't spell my name, at least Ulrika can (see further up the thread for the basis of that).

But I see you're another member of the project group this post is about. And please see my reply to Pendari for my answer to this.

The only problem I have with this being in the general forum is that new users may get confused. Talking about voting and government may bring people to believe this is for all of SecondLife.

I think the city is a great thing, but it should stay within it's member group, the confines of it's city limits, and within it's own forum section to prevent confusion.

If an event that includes the entire world such as voting .. well that should be placed in the events section

*Wonders whether to run for a seat on this assembly so as to, like Trotsky, 'bore from within'....then reconsiders, when it's always possible to 'bore from without' by writing long posts on the forums*

Down with socialism!

Social democracy is social fascism!

I agree...

Sensors detect a moron undisguised!!!

Thats because I beheaded the elected President of SL.

Long live King Phillip I

and

King Shepp the Great

*bow down you worthless peasants!!!*

I would submit for consideration that this same reasoning could be applied to the N-berg Project. The only 'real' political office in SL is 'Linden Liason'. Any political office gained by any other method in SL is no more real than 'President of SL', even if the contributors to such an office take it more seriously.


Good luck on the vote - will be interesting to see how the project develops afterwards.

Yes, I am.

I predict a 70% chance of staggering forward like a drunken bard with a small chance of immediate implosion. No one said it would be ballet.

So you've never needed the U.S. Social Security system?

The polls have opened for all citizens of Neualtenburg and will remain open for 48 hours. I just cast the first vote today with Jauani Wu following shortly thereafter!

SL can be so absolutely thrilling. Imagine a group of people building a city, defining a government, creating voting infrastructure, and then electing representatives. There is no other game like this one. Thanks SL! I'll never forget this!
