I have voted for the obvious winning policy. Trooper: what happens if a party makes a pledge that, if won, they do not adhere to? What about future dated ones (such as 'at the cottage'). Do we find out who made what policy after the vote? |

Of course by not knowing who's policy is who's even if a party refuses to fulfill their pledge, there is no repercussion, as they can still keep writing awesome policies and pulling in the votes. |

Yes, I think Russell is questioning the same bit I was having difficulty with. If we find out that Party X gave a policy that we thought would improve the game but then went against that policy, we'd be less inclined to vote for party X's next policy. But we won't know who the next round of policies are posed by, so Party X could keep lying. |

No, because you don't usually go to the polling booth with only a list of policies that the parties may or may not abide by with no clue which party has declared which policy. |

Maybe we should have kept the party names secret so you didn't know who was in each one, then listed the policies under the party names. |

| Post subject: | Re: Day 1 |
Do you mean kept secret the names of the people in each party, and listed the policies with the chosen party name? If so, yes, I think that would have been a good way to do it. |

Too late now though, unless you make it your next policy. |

We have a loser! The imaginatively named "Party 4" of Cras and Bobbyaro, select a person to be ejected and let me know. New policies to me by the end of tomorrow please. |
