Door #1 is unsustainable for reasons that are obvious to anyone with any familiarity with the unstable history of this stream.
Door #2 is unappealing since it means elections don’t truly matter. The Stream Owner(s) and site mods decide everything, and elections every two months are just window-dressing and a meaningless popularity contest.
Door #3 makes this a dynamic roleplay where elections matter, government decisions are consequential, and campaigns can be fought on sharp and meaningful differences.
As for me, the choice is clear. :)
