So my fellow Barrayarians (is that the word?) what would you like to see in Barrayar in the coming days, weeks, and months? I would love to see an active debating community pop up. What about you?

I was thinking about making a speech on this today, but for once in my life I decided not to make a speech. :P

We just need to stay active. That's all we need to worry about right now. I don't care about an RP community or a debate community or any other kind of community. We need only a few things: One, recruiting. Two, activity. And, three, a working government. Once those are filled or in progress, we can work on other stuff.

Personally, I'd love to see a political debate forum pop up. And keep it separate from the regional reform forums, unlike in West where they were bundled together.

Barrayarans. :)

Also, this is the exact sort of thing that belongs under "changes and improvements." :) *carefully moves thread*

I agree with Andro. More recruiting would be great. Especially active nation. (Hope to get up their like Westphalia and the feeders). I'd also like to see the forum revisions proposed by Andro and the establishment of a constitution and Bill of Rights.

Obviously a constitution and government as well as a recruiting office would be some of our first goals. :P

Barrayarians just sounds...wrong. Barrayesse? Barrayari?

The word is Barrayarans! At least it really should be. Barrayar is named after a fictional planet, and that's the name for the inhabitants in the books.

I'm still kinda surprised that Keita and Andro let me get away with using this name. :P The book-Barrayar is militaristic and authoritarian and the center of an empire -- all of which our region is manifestly not, nor do I want it to be. :) I just like the series a lot.

I guess if we called ourselves something else, it would distinguish us from the book ones? It just seemed the most natural to use the version that already exists.

I got the reference to the books, but Barrayarans just sounds off to me :P

Okay. Well, you didn't say that -- you just said you didn't like Barrayarians. :P

*mock sigh* Very well, proceed.

We'll use Barrayarans for now, I guess. We might hold a poll on it later. :P

Barrayarians...is that what we are called? it sounds like barbarians almost..unless im pronouncing the name wrong? and agreed, we should have a poll on what we are calling ourselves!
We could also possibly use...
Barryas?
Barrians?
Yarbs?
Barras?
Yarbians?
I Dont know, just throwing some ideas out there! :$

Also another thing, I would like to see that most of our stuff (leaders, rewards, punishments, etc.) be held in a fair way. This possibly being voting?
Im sure this has been talked about already...but just throwing it out there that I think everyone should get a say in what changes are going on in our region.



And do we have a Constitution? ^o)

I hope this is a suggestion place, because I dont know where else to put things, but are we gonna have like an advanced government system?? I see the 'government' section, so i was wondering how all of that was going to work, are all of the spots choosen already? or are we voting on them? or are they appointed by the 'president'?

If they are not already all chosen, I think the president should appoint or we should vote....and maybe you could run for a certain spot too? like in a real election? except in the surpreme court?




If there is a section that has all of this information, sorry, but please let me know where that is(:
