Comment It's not that simple (Score 1) 606

So you have some free monkeys, a large static free build room and lockable large supply room?

You must have a _lot_ of free time. Have you catered for your staffing costs? Security costs? Insurance? Do finance want to bring all those costs back onto the books that the Dell single number approach removes?

Hang on, in almost the same breath they state:
For questions about point rewards, offer content, or payment details please contact the Offer Vendor or advertising company (the company whose offer you complete). Turbine is not responsible for Super Rewards points or transactions.
Then:
If you believe that you have not received Turbine Points purchased or earned through Super Rewards, please contact Turbine.

This... does not make sense.

Good thing we won't need people with long term experience in these matters to act as experts in the system.

Good thing the people running stuff in the background can't be suborned to move votes around.

Good thing the politicians will vote to change to this system as it will remove the old representation system and all their perks.

Ways to game the system: submit votes on lots and lots of issues - DoS the votetakers and makers

Getting a policy approved that cover multiple types of issue boundary.

Defining your issue boundaries
# people come up with a policy proposal and present it to parliament
# those opposed or with a different policy engage in a lively debate

A proposes a tax on livestock entering the country. B have a different policy. B propose merging the police and the zookeepers. Someone has to say if an opposing policy fits the same area.

How well must it fit? A's policy covers health professionals. B covers them, but also anyone who works maintenance or services at hospitals. B exclude clinics.

Laws get that picky. And dumb. But many of the methods for creating laws have created a system that cannot be slashed at so quickly.
