A Proposal

So I found this: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/single/?p=8134973&t=7179546

I was milling around and I found that. I'd certainly like to see the Fiqh return, but the Temple of Flemingovia has moved to Osiris. This poses a problem.

Mainly that the Fiqh was awesome and we should make some sort of new thing like the Fiqh because reasons. I mean, we are having an aesthetic overhaul happen soon due to the passed bill. This is the perfect time!

Who's with me?

Don't be silly. The fiqh actually works. There is no place for something like that in tnp

That seems a bit weird in itself. If things that work don't belong in TNP, we should take it upon ourselves to change that.

in TNP a functional trial is about as rare as a good hair day for Donald Trump. But that is the way people seem to like it.

If you think about it for a moment, taking a legal system from real-life South Carolina and cut and pasting it into a forum and expecting it to serve a text-based political simulation is rather dumb.

A few people, myself included, over the years have tried to work imaginatively within the system, but it is a bit like trying to unscrew a screw with a hammer. the system is not fit for purpose.

But the system will remain, and suggestions like yours will be politely ignored or shot down in flames. Why? As I said, because people like it. It allows them to make long, self-important posts with numerous bullet points, topped by an impressive looking seal. And that is the point, really. it is pretentious crap, but it fills a void.

That is why a simpler system like the Fiqh will never get a look in in TNP. And why i gave up on it.
