| Message | Ooc I think we can make the game more I treating to play with fewer. I suggest 100- we can the to out individual Senators. At the moment no-one gives there Senators names anyhow so we could have whatever number we like- it would really change how we play.

| Message | OOC: Yeah, but the lowest you can go is 75 senators. Not many people will want to name that many individual people. |

| Message | OOC No party would ever have all 75 senators unless they were the only party left, in which case they probably wouldn't want to to rp by themselves anyway. I am the largest party after the last election, if we had 75 senators it would give me a share of 23 who I could name and use in to durring debates. Just don't see the point in upping the number, its not going to change how we play the game... Any thoughts? |
