fed ELECTIONs

Yeah, my fed got anaboliked :) but we made another.
The 2 major causes of anaboliking are fed wars and free accounts wanting to be fed leaders.

Bring back the elections
Free accounts should have option of making a fed, this would lower the anaboliking rate. And any anaboliking will be done for the right reasons (fed war).

It might spam up the fed list though, so perhaps there need to be a few requirements before a free account can make federation.

or as i heard a while ago bring the fed election back with changes to support federation stability. Like member based rather than planet count based.

personally i came back from a fairly long break and found elections gone, and honestly it is really disappointing, because the who anabolicking thing added to the game, it expanded game play, and often started some of the more active fed wars for the simple reason that you wanted to get back at that guy, eventually it would go back to normal, and given the minor rolls that feds play, lets face it stephen needs to add some things, for instance if your fed is at war with another one there should be something making it easier to find enemy fed members that are out of dp. also dreamland is right it is not uncommon for that to happen. one of the major points in this game is for there to be fighting/combate/whatever and with out the ability to anabolick i think it takes away from the game. in addition over all it does next to no damage, because there is usually at least one paid member in a fed so if it does get anabolicked then the fed can start up again no problem. personally i would rather have the elections the way they were rather than have them change it or remove it, it was a good system and unless the whole fed was in active or bottom feeders(pick on newbies at low pr`s) a decent fed with semi active members should be able to maintain the planet count needed to prevent the take over.

the reason that fed elections were taken out was because of abuse `anabolicking` as you may know.

The current updates are being worked on and fed voting system is somewhere on the list.

also lets say your in a fed full of inactive people, everyone including you left, all the people have 1 colony, you wanna rebuild the fed but can`t without the leaders permission and the leader plays no more, but with elections you can gain controll in a fed full of inactive empires , kick em, then make a better version to suit you ;) and will also stop people from inviting people from other feds to join

i agree with you, i have never been i a fed election or voted in one, and i would like to see them back
