Recently upon the servers relaunch, I have noticed a pattern that has plagued the server since I first joined it during Weimar RP, that being: The server is [i][b]too focused on Constitutional RP. [/b][/i] [b]Why does this matter? [/b]The servers almost insane focus on Constitutional RP has lead to the decay, and in some areas, complete failure of essential Roleplay, and faction related aspects examples of this can be: The complete and utter neglect of any Ministries, The tight grip from Staff and Gamemasters against any actions which may violate a constitution related aspect.  Neglect of Vital Factions, and Work  -  Because of the important drive that is Constitutional RP almost all other work in the "Government faction" is completely neglected Ministers without much support from any higher leadership on the server ministries have been left quite empty which should be both held to the fault of both the Minister and IC leadership in one way or the other, these ministries haven't been publishing much work, nor hiring many people which on a small server does not seem to bad but the real reason behind the lack of openings, and document, in my opinion, is the work they are focusing on the constitutional part of the server which is draining them of vital time that could be spent on the actual government of the server, without the constitution their cant be a government, but the government shouldn't be neglected to focus on the constitution,  The Enforcement of the Consitution  -  On the server, I have seen in numerous occasions in my tenure in multiple positions that many of my, and others ideas have been shut down due to it "Needing to run through the congress, or it violates the constitution" Whilst I can understand that enforcement of the constitution and the congress (volkskrammer) is VERY important this strangles potential RP I believe a faction head or someone, in general, should be allowed to do their job, and do the changes, documents, etc they need and if it causes a minor infraction in the constitution it shouldn't be crushed or put into bureaucratic hell where it will never be passed because the Volkskrammer doesn't think it's a good idea, this does not support potential RP the constitution is so important but it cannot be the main focus for every IC decision people are more focuses on if the choice they made is against the constitution then actually doing it.  Take for example other servers such as 1942 rp, or even Soviet RP why do these relate to a forum thread about DDR RP and the focus on its constitution? Well, its because they aren't solely driven on the constitution, and by allowing this government factions, and actual work in government that isn't politically Congress is allowed the freedom to move around this allows so much more RP, and work for players who are not wanting to server congress RP. I don't think the server should completely abandon the constitution because they shouldn't its a staple of Citadel and how the server has been for so long [b]but what I do believe is the server shouldn't be [i]as[/i] focused on the constitution, allowing breathing room for the government faction is essential because not everyone will be wanting to deal with the process of the congress and constitution this will be in my opinion a great aide for those who aren't as well versed in politics and congress [/b] The final piece, this post isn't to bad mouth the way the server is run but Its an opinion I wish to share with everyone, and receive feedback don't take what I'm saying like I'm shit-talking the server thanks!  

The whole constitutional aspect of the server isn't even a thing anymore. Everything is just run through the party administration 

I pledge my [color=#27ae60][b]+support[/b][/color] to this suggestion.
