it fucking sucks after running through a couple haelun'or elections i (personally, nonobjectively) despise the system because i think it fosters a really toxic group mentality and endorses people who are most popular, or most oocly organized, rather than roleplay or competency. I saw what it was like to elect an unpopular opponent and it to devolve into a really toxic (on both sides) situation that was entirely OOC, when on an actual OOC level these people had nothing against one another. obviously most of us are adults and have the mental capacity to move past that and have, but I strongly think that democracies aren't done and don't work for the reason that it's mostly ooc piloted and driven. Although all my work/effort/time put into a nonelective Renatus was practically wasted when yoppl undid it and killed the nation, it felt even worse for it to crumble just the same afterward when I was in leadership of Haelun'or to watch it completely tank in activity and presence because of all the spite and anger which was so silly to place there in the first place. I love the folks now that were there and look back upon them and that time fondly for the couple of fun rp moments there were amongst discord arguments, purges, deletions, lockdowns, and tense vcs. It's so silly it got there in the first place, but I 110% purely think that is strictly due to the fact that a minecraft democracy enabled that animosity to burn in the first place because of the cliquism it endorses. I've never experienced before or after those events anything even remotely similar to what happened then. But coups and ooc plots are just the quintessential highelf experience so maybe my experience is isolated.

Shelving is always a last-ditch-effort when a lore has no other option available. All actions like asking to fix, helping to fix, or restricting further use until its fixed, would be taken before shelving something flat-out. More info on that is in the thread below.

Not for the time being no, although that may change months down the road if no improvement is in sight and the magics are causing issues for players in their roleplay.
