Having seen the state of sim democracy we have thought it necessary to found this party. Our priorities are specifically to grow simdem back to what it once was and ensure that new citizens feel heard and accepted so they might stay and participate. We aim to accomplish these goals by cleaning up the discord and insuring every vote is legitimate.

Okay I have been in the discord for about a day and i,ve noticed that this community is on hard times: voter turnout looks terrible, the number of inactive citizens and political parties makes the discord look like a deserted wasteland, border control is choking our community, and voter fraud is rampant. Now i would love to start working on things that i believe in for the server but it looks like were basically in a state of emergency with the stagnancy that is plaguing our community. Im planning to form a one-issue party called the citizen engagement and accountability party (CEAP) unless I hear what is actually being done to address these issues. If you would like to hear my opinions on what needs to immediately be done:

1. clean out inactive political parties from the discord.
   i think a chance for each active party to contact either the discord supervisor or someone else in a position of power and restate their party's objective and policies. Any party that doesn't respond within a set timespan will be removed from the discord until they show activity.

2. focus efforts on bringing people in.
   ever since simulated online democracies started getting made there has been a question of why people join. I truly believe that it is a genuine interest in making a difference in a working democracy. So I think that showing people this will naturally bring more engagement to the server and reddit.

i think there is also something to be said about maybe lowering border control but keeping people online to watch out for people trying to disrupt the peace and we can deal with those through the set up legal system. I do understand that our border control is there for a reason and respect people who might have a problem with that

Btw how long does it usually take to join the discord? It made me submit an application and im still waiting.

Hi i am a college student that is in a rock band and am looking to improve my sound and skills in an applicable way. I played sax in middle school and the beginning of high school and even after i dropped out of band practiced the pieces i had learned in school to conserve my skill at least a little. My problem now is i can’t find good materials about getting better from this point. In addition since I’m in a rock band that includes no one except me who has interacted with the sax i am responsible for writing all of my own parts and so i don’t really have much skill in that department other than improving and memorizing. Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated. For reference of my current skills I attached my bands one “released” single
