[quote]The problem with this 'human element' is that it is not reliable if the people using it must rely on an outside person to *maybe* do something in response.
The people themselves WANT to do something, but how can they when the thing they want to do relies on an outside, perhaps indifferent, person?

You're a hypocrite Aysun. Did not Mur listen to you during the whole Necro drama? Did he not take your idea about the rebels and implemented it?
Indifferent? Shish! Please, show me a game where you can go to the creator(s) and do what you did here.
[quote]Are the people wanting to do something not human? Therefore no 'human element' is lost- it is only stifled by lack of ability to properly act due to reliance on unreliable elements.[/quote]
I'm lost....what do you mean by unreliable elements?
[quote]The issue with how things are now is that in order to try something like that today you'd have to send a message to Mur saying, "Oh, by the way, we're doing this at such-and-such time on the clock, so would it be ok if you made this work?" instead of it being within the player's power to just do it themselves after the effort of gathering the pieces themselves.[/quote]
Oh really? You have to message Mur? Then how come lots of players were able to trigger things WITHOUT "divine" intervention? Last war was started and conducted by players ONLY!
You know? I think you are lazy and you wait for mighty Mur to spoon feed you.
[quote]As for the rebels, the idea is that a certain number of rebels would trigger an election, but there is no set number- or maybe no number at all, and to what sort of ratio?- and a trigger isn't going to happen automatically, someone with the ability has to come by and be inclined to see it and start it.[/quote]
Err...find Mur's post about rebels and read it again. I think you either did not read it well or you chose to not see certain things he said.
[quote]but I can at least say that we ARE doing things even if they aren't quite so obvious to the public eye just yet.[/quote]
Wait...how am I suppose to know what you're doing if you're hiding? Personally all I saw you doing in game is having cyber sex with Rask. And all I see you do in the forum is rant about Jester and complain how "the system is not helping you".

Yeah, right...
