Representative democracy is coming to EVE online which looks to be very interesting, I'm sure most of you have read about it already. I have never tried EVE online, nor know much about it, but this news has definitely got me ready to try out their free 14 day trial and learn more about it.

I have though been a member of the the Second Life® virtual world since late 2006 and thought a representative democracy in secondlife, should one ever be introduced, could be quite something.

It would sure be interesting to follow and watch virtual politics, such groundbreaking new territory! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it as it could be so complicated and with so many topics to cover! I wonder how it would work, would there be virtual elections every few months? How much power should the elected representatives have and should they be paid a real life salary? or percentages? Would there be vice president type positions as well? Could a decision board of some kind could also be instituted to settle disputes between residents? Taxes? I could go on and on but since there are so many questions and possibilities I will end with just those right now. I myself need to try and think them out as well and come up with my own thoughts and ideas about them. I'm just exploring with questions right now.

Don't you hate when people try to do under cover advertising???....I sure do...it's so obvious!!!...so...... I'm promoting my own new blog Right Here. It will have an occasional virtual world post but will mostly be about cool new sites I like, so it won't really be competing with this one here. I know most bloggers have an impossibly hard time starting up and most disappear but I've decided to give it a try. How long will I stick with it or how frequent will I post, I don't know.
