The "United Colonist Pact"
Requesting thread be closed cause people can't say they dislike the idea in a civil or polite way.
This is a proposed solution to the recent frustration with MA communication.
What is the UCP ( United Colonist pact ): The UCP represents a voice from every active planet owner as a representative from their territory. Combined they form the pact which represents the every colonist in the universe. Planets without active owners should be voted into the UCP by the colonist of their respective home territory.
Planet owners already speak with MA, how will this make a difference?
We are requesting communication, and I believe communication can be achieved. However if we are looking for change, I believe that will only happen if it suits MA financially ( they are a business they need to profit to survive. )
The difference here is planet owners communicate with MA regarding issues on their home planet, many colonist are native to Calypso, thus it's territory lacks a single player to identify with their needs. If MA doesn't have the time to communicate with all of us or feels overloaded we must have a select few we trust to communicate with them. If MA will not appoint a community manager then we must appoint our own liaisons ourselves.
We must be willing to do what MA is unable to or unwilling to do themselves to help bridge the gap. Yes they are a company, and we are a customer and we could argue the dynamics and responsibilities. I however propose that rather than complain that we unify and knock on MA's door with a clear voice. Then our trusted representatives can select the highest priority issues, and present them to MA.
Once the issue has been presented by our player appointed reps and planet owners, then they would provide us with the result of our questions.
It isn't a guarantee, but could be a draft towards a player elected universal government capable of meeting our needs in absence of an MA representative being available to us.
