I have uploaded a video of all of Democracy 3's policies and I think it should be used as a guide for what people want and don't want the AEP to adopt as the party's official policies as well as what extra policies that aren't in Democracy 3 they would like to be included. You can find the video here: drive.google.com/file/d/0Byfl6OeSVTrYX0JxeFM4TXRyWUk/view?pref=2&pli=1 |

Did you share the link to this thread in the Facebook group chat you were having?

Hey Edwin, this is a good record, thanks. With D3, what I'm most excited about is the ability to post the mod into various D3 forums and use that as a means of discovery since it seems to be quite a popular game. In terms of specific policy proposals, I'd love for you to post your ideas in the relevant boards -- what we really want is for people to look for policy developed by special interest groups/think tanks/research bodies that align with our policy frameworks. I did a post about how we can structure the policy discussion here: aep.freeforums.net/thread/27/interim-model-policy-developmentIn the meantime I'm looking forward to seeing more about how the JG and currency issuing mods are performing in D3. Thanks again! |

Iain Dooley, I have provided a link to a video which I recorded of my time in Democracy 3. I was wondering when you have the time, could you watch the video and review my "government"? There were a few problems that had arose during my administration, the main problem was drug addiction as a result of legalising all drugs. I was wondering if you would be able to suggest a policy that addressed drug addiction, which I could then have created as a mod? Here is the video: drive.google.com/file/d/0Byfl6OeSVTrYZUVDMHc2dTFWZUk/edit?pref=2&pli=1

Okay great I'll take a look thanks.
It's just a simplistic model of addiction in the game.
The mod would be to have addiction be made more prevalent not as a result of increased availability but as a result of increased poverty and social isolation.

Iain Dooley, have you had the chance to watch the recording that I made of Democracy 3?

Hey Edwin I was going to check it out but it's an hour long vid with no sound -- typically I listen to videos and check in on the vision when relevant because it allows me to listen when doing something else. However the issue with drug addiction is just due to a simplistic notion of addiction; it's due to the fact that the game assumes that if one uses drugs, one is bound to abuse them which isn't true. It also assumes that availablity of drugs entails problem use amongst a larger portion of the population than when drugs are prohibited which is also untrue. What I would say would be a more realistic situation is that, when drugs are regulated rather than prohibited they can be a) prescribed in a controlled way and b) made more pure so you have less problem use, fewer drug related deaths c) they are cheaper so there is less crime associated with drug dependency and d) generally come in less potent forms (eg. beer vs whisky, speed vs. ice, cocaine vs crack, less concentrated heroin used to be sold in liquid form at chemists). With drug regulation you also remove a huge amount of crime due to the fact that you are not providing a means of income for criminal elements, and free up police resources to address other aspects of community safety, so overall regulation of drugs rather than prohibition of drugs should increase community safety. So: - Less crime - Less problem use - Less medical problems associated with drug use - Better policing Win, win, win, win, win, win. |

Iain Dooley , thanks for replying. The capture software that I am using for some reason won't correctly record the sounds of the game. I removed the sound track because there were annoying clicking sounds, I also didn't make any commentary throughout the video that would be of any help. The video goes for almost an hour because I recorded a few election wins and terms in government. I have ordered a new mod to be created for a central bank, so the drug policy mod will have to wait. I have mentioned to the developer that I will need a policy for subsidising atmospheric water generators as a way to resolve the water shortage problem. When I have the drug policy mod created, I will send your post to the developer in order to have a more accurate simulation of legalising all drugs. The other problems that developed during my government were cyber warfare, luddite riots, internet crime and organised crime which seems to be the result of gambling. If you jump ahead in the video to 45 minutes 54 second you will see them.
