OOC

The links that I sent you Krill clearly show that the Kardali took power when the tryker people left the roots. They devised their own constitution, and denied the citizens or Taliari any participation in the process. According to their own constitution- there were supposed to be elections held, which I have found no record of. And the Thenkardali functions as a higher chamber of government, that can overrule both the assembly and the cities- even though the federation is supposed to be the most democratic of all nations because the is no higher chamber of government between the representatives of the people and their leader.

So I do see them as very abusive.

If what you call "the Kard'ali Constitution" is the draft provided by the animation team, then I agree that it gives a lot too much power to the Government. When I read it in French, I found it was more giving full-power to the Governor than to the Kard'ali, but I agree on the basis.

Now I still consider that their actions since the merge were more lead by OOC reasons than IC ones, and so that condemning them for stealing the vote is a bit unfair from us as players (I'm the player speaking here, not the tryker character).

But it's ok: I gave my ideas and comments as a player, and now my character will go back to drinking beer and teasing officials (taliari, kard'ali, governor, all the same) without paying much attention to politics.
As long as there's beer in the bar, of course :-)

I'm a bit late to this thread, but I felt a little guilty for not trying to take part in my race's government, so I thought I'd try to give some feedback if I can. I'm not sure how much I have to add as a non-citizen, who doesn't really know her history yet, but I added some comments to the google doc.

I don't know much about government yet, but it's nice to see things like this happening and to start to participate a little.

I don't have enough Taliari votes to pass a new constitution, so for now I will take a break from writing.
