Hi everyone... Some people have cast doubts over whether it will work with me at the helm, or if me taking back the region is a good idea. Almost all of these same people were not in the "original era" of Equinox. I had a hunch about something and (unfortunately, much to even my own chagrin) I was right -- democracy was actually slowly killing Equinox. Have a look below. This is a graph of posts dating back to the very first day in Equinox. The blue area covers the Democracy era to present; from July 17th 2010, the end of the monarchy, onward. It speaks for itself, sadly.

That's why we implemented a monarch... Clearly, you don't understand people's qualms. |

Technically the (original)Monarchy was democratic too, seeing as the people still held most of the power... |

Yes and no... my point was that during the per se "democratic" era, there was no one voice of guidance. (I'm really not trying to sound arrogant on purpose...) |

I completely agree. The best part of having a monarch is having a permanent or semi permanent guide, a whisper in the ear. |

Somehow I got the impression most people in the region objected to Aisli installing herself as Queen. Wonder why?

Actually, most people objected to how it was implemented. At least alot would be open to the idea if it all had been publicly discussed. |

I recommend Lasik. Picking up the unabridged copy is a good idea too. |

I think that actually, that looks like a standard bell curve graph for population activity, I think if we could look further, or compare it to other regional activity we would see that a constant rise and fall is pretty normal, and has nothing to do with the governing body. I believe also that this clearly reflects the amount of free time people have, look at the dates here - regional activity is higher when people are on holiday in RL. Regional activity was also much higher before the GFC took hold. Nowadays people are working harder and for longer and often have less time in front of a computer. I think that you haven't at all covered all of the possible variables that might cause this and simply attributing it to 'The Democracy Fad' is a way to justify taking complete power back. I'm not being a troll, the idea that Democracy doesn't work and that having a single 'guiding voice' is better sounds a lot like Mussolini's political ideology to me. "Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy." - Benito Mussolini "The truth is that men are tired of liberty." - Benito Mussolini "Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election." - Adolf Hitler Democracy is not a Fad, Democracy works and by denying that fact you put yourself in league with the Fascists sir. |

Wow. I also point you to the polls. You seem to lack a majority of the region's approval.

Yeah, thanks for that, by the way. Kind of thought we were friends. |
