I can only speak about myself, of course, but I quite enjoyed politics as long as it lasted. I would also like to point out that player politics decided about war or peace between Fyros and Matis, for example, so it's not just "imaginary",
Sad to hear the player politics interviened and went for peace :(
=> with another long lasting war between matis and fyros where matis burn down some fyros city's again and such us bored homins would have had an nice event to have fun at again.
ps.
Why do you keep attacking me about yubo ball? It's a fun little ingame game where yes I got a title and only reason I use that one is because it's so long it makes my health bars on my head go to the left instead of being right above me.
Yubo ball isn't RP? => depends on how you look at it why can't homins have a forbidden sport where they pester small rodents, its not like in the real world there are no sports based with animals (pigeon racing, cock fighting, ferret in pants, fishing, .... ). RP is all about the story you tell behind it.
Same for things like traveling markets, miss elections, ... => all have real world counterparts and can perfectly been done in an RP way if you even tried. This way might not incorperated 10 of names of obscure npc's you need to know their whole backstor to or might not give you the oppertunity to write 5 big long letters to on the forums but if you really wanted you could actually do all that while organizing an event with a town like a miss election for example since you need a hairdresser,suplier of luxuary stuff, ... OR for yuboball you need somebody to caputre the 'wild' yubo you need somebody to suply the goals ...
You can do this for every single thing and I'm sure more ppl would be intrested in joining the gouverments and more ppl would come and listen (ps. give those listeners some room to talk themself make it more open with less rules like direct politics and you might even end up with to many intrested ppl ;)
