MusicBanter Congress

jastrub · 09-05-2011, 03:26 PM

I had an idea to start a simple satirical political campaigning/policy-making game on here. It's going to be very tongue-and-cheek, but I'd hope that it wouldn't totally devolve into utter chaos.

Pretty much, each week I'll post an "issue", with various options as to how to vote on that issue, with humourous bits of advice from various fabricated gurus and pundits. Debate will be allowed until the poll is closed, upon which the final vote will affect the condition of the country. After each vote, I will post a short write-up about the affects of the decision.

Every so often, if this thing actually works, I will start an "election" process whereupon certain people will gain status as president, VP, etc.

Please comment if you're interested!

Sure, if it involves political satire I'm in.

I like, I'll be as involved as my limitations allow.

I'm going to vote for Ron Paul and mess everything up.

This sounds like it could be good fun, count me in.

I'll be the token crazy liberal who knows nothing.

I'm going to burn this thread down in the name of anarchy.

I'll be the guy with multiple personalities.

Round and round my ideology goes. Where I stand... nobody knows!
