>>41064737-just because I had taken interest in the concepts that were being talked about with /meat/. This has happened and continues to happen where the interest that somebody expresses for another nation is restricted by an arbitrary rule that restricts the creativity that someone whose familiar with a thread can actually do. Was the rep system really meant to make it so that you could only write for your nation because that's what its started to become. If you decided to vocally say that you're going to write for another nation, you'll generally get a negative response, if not a negative than an apprehensive one where others are cautious of what you're doing and how you're doing it, if you have an ulterior motive, if you ever actually bothered visiting the thread at all. This alone would be enough for a decent individual to just say "fuck it" and go full in on false flagging as a new person but on the positive end, new reps are given overwhelming support and opinions on how their nation might operate with threads that they're related to but also how they might operate internally. Any baggage that a poster might have as the rep of another nation won't carry over as long as they watch their step and they can explore fully ideas that they were dissuaded from doing as another rep, not only that but they can also influence the vote if they believe intensely that they're positions are in the right. Hell, most votes are not that decisive and don't have much division already, you could just have a convenient parrot to vocalize why your point is correct that could persuade others to see you out. If I want to see this world fleshed out and filled with life, why wouldn't I just pull out my phone or switch to another browser when I post about a new thread if its genuinely beneficial to /vtwbg/ and I know that I'm capable of representing it properly? I push this question bluntly because the only answer I can think of is that it takes a smidge more effort but in this thread, everyone puts some effort in, either through researching or writing or discussion. A little more really wouldn't hurt.
Having a system like this that relies so overwhelmingly on trusting anonymous strangers has caused an inverse effect where trusting other people gets legitimately harder to do the more writers we have because the likelihood that those writers are just other anons that wanted to explore new ideas with chuubas they watch is just as if not more likely to occur. It's generally either ignored or greatly discouraged that you be suspicious of odd things that occur here because the rep system relies entirely on trusting strangers whom cannot be verified in anyway, we've already seen examples where writers have been ganged up on for voicing these things and in general where several people lambast posters that feel as though others are disingenuous and anons with genuine concerns are called schizos, many times even without them being overtly negative.
I'm fairly certain that there's more I could list out but I'm also certain that even the most delusional schizo or the most die hard rep supporter can understand and logically see that this system encourages falseflagging more than it does new writers, especially considering what happened when I vocally say that I intend to and am writing for /lig/, /ag/, and /luna/.
