A Junior Committee

Hi! This is HnyBnch. I read ChinaDawl's article on our dictatorship. I agree with her that it is impossible to elect a president for our town. We can't always trust our internet friends. Sometimes there are corrupt presidents in the real world! How can we expect a Whyville president to be any different?

I was thinking that instead of a president we could have junior advisors. City Hall and the rest of the city workers do their best to make Whyville as free as possible. They are so swamped with things, especially finding sponsors. Maybe there could be a few Whyvillians that go over the complaints, and send the ones that are most urgent or important to city hall. This could lighten their load quite a bit I think.

City Hall or the workers could handpick the few "oldbies" or elders that think they can handle this task. If we voted on these people it might become a popularity contest. I think that the ones that joined Whyville the longest should be a part of this committee. They have the most knowledge of this site.

This would also show City Hall what problems we want fixed the most (if you call them problems). She probably gets complaints about the same things over and over again; this way she will only get one of each complaint. I think that she will be able to make faster decisions on things if she does not have to go through the hassle of reading every single y-mail and email she receives.

Personally, I think Whyville is fine the way it is. This is for those people who aren't satisfied with this site. Besides, there are better things to do than go on the internet. This could be one of those sites just devoted to learning without the added features of chat and games that teach; don't forget houses! But with this so-called "dictatorship", we get more than just strict learning. I am grateful for that.

 

Editor's Note: Good thoughts, HnyBnch! We do expect to eventually create Junior City Workers -- but in the meantime, the Y-Mail Helpers do a whole lot of the tasks you suggest. They handle the vast majority of Y-mail sent towards City Hall, from complaints to clam begging. I want to take this opportunity to thank our Y-Mail Helpers for all their help, from day one to today. Thank you!!
