Fantasy Parliament rules

So, obviously I'm only scoring on days I attend, but here's the gist:

We each form our own government, which is any coalition of parties which have a majority. From that, we choose 25 MPs to base our scores off. If our MPs aren't questioned or questioning, then we get half the points if they're on our team. The PM's points are worth double, and the PM can be anyone. 120 points per session. Ideas for alternate coalitions: National-Greens-TPM, ACT-Labour-Greens-NZ First. National-Labour.

- Hopefully that's a solid start. Creating standings and a league chart is way beyond me, but I think that's a good idea. Aside from the standings chart, there could be a chart for comparing each of the MPs.👋 - Extra rule: trades. Every month, we can trade MPs with each other. That's me borrowing from fantasy sports, which is all about trades. Each trade would transfer all their points over to the new team.

yes, the people downstairs can play too: the teams would be pseudonyms or whatever, so I'll have a think about whether I could build and maintain a website. 👋

collusion [referencing The League with Jay Duplass]! It'd be pretty evil for MPs to fix it so their team gets questions, but they can if they want. 😈
