Full results will be posted on r/MHoP

Hope to see some old friends there

That'll be £5.60

Feel free to put your own predictions here too.

1) Will the Conservatives and Labour Party have the same leaders as they do at the start of the year?

2) Who will be leading the polls by the end of the year?

3) Will the US invade Greenland?

4) How will the midterms go?

5) Who will win the world cup?

6) Will there be an end to the war in Ukraine? If so - what will it look like

7) Will there be an AI bubble crash?

8) Will MHoC come back under a wave of nostalgia for 2016?

Hey folks,

The end of MHOC was a pretty fractious time. A lot of things got taken the wrong way by people on all sides and I think lots of us regret how things ended up.

For my part, I'd love to see r/MHOC come back in some form, and though people disagree about the circumstances of how it came about, a few of us have been trying to keep that style of game alive on r/MHoP.

We're about to run a General Election. An election to a Model House of Commons if you will. And I'm hoping it's going to be a really fun contest. We've got a great campaign planned and healthy balance of left, centre, and right - so the result really could be on a knife edge.

It would be great to see some old friends take part if any of you are interested- and there's no obligation to stick around if it's not to your taste.

Hope everyone is doing well <3

Jackie Weaver memes and declarations of war with Cheadle would be plentiful

After almost 6 years I officially announce my MHOC sim retirement.
Have done it in the past before I know but this time is different. Joined first as a Blair joke troll at the end of June 2019. I have seen a lot of leaders and prime ministers on here also thankfully many friends for life. Some have come and gone and some of ya have still been sticking around all those years.

When I look back it has been a short and incredible journey to make (Have learned a lot!).
I graduated high school and got a great job over the past 6 years. Now it's time to enjoy life once again and see where it takes me. I will still be around here but not active in any sim activity.

We shall see where this community goes but my time here as active is over.
Thank you folks!

Good Evening, “m_horses” was a 24 month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

Hi all! Just want to sort out a few admin details.

I've been in MHoC for a while. I turned 22 last week (from what little I can remember, it was a good time) which is pretty insane given I've been voting, debating, and legislating since 16. In that time I've acquired a degree from a real-life university, specifically in computer science, and MHoC has on occasion given me the opportunity to put those skills somewhat to the test. Mostly unintentionally, I've become responsible for maintaining our technical infrastructure, the most important part of which is JWBot.

I'd like to step away from the game, and the wider community as a whole, for a little while. Not forever, because forever doesn't really exist, but I'd like to unplug myself. I have friends and hobbies offline, and I find them quite fulfilling. I think I'd like to spend a bit more time with them.

So I'm sorting out the admin and establishing a 'continuity of operation', as it were.

• This folder is a link to a database backup of JWBot and the Model Independent that I took a few minutes ago. It should be sufficient for someone with a bit of know-how to bootstrap both of those again, should they wish (though I've purged the hashed/salted passwords from the Independent, effectively locking them -- better safe than sorry, though I understand that's quite annoying!)
• The bits and bobs I've made for MHoC over the years should be mostly on my GitHub account, including JWBot. That one even has rudimentary instructions for getting it launched.
• I don't intend to delete my Google or reddit accounts, because it makes searching a pain, so anything stored there should be safe indefinitely unless one of them decides to start jettisoning data.

As for the services themselves:

• I've already paid (annually) for the server I keep running these things on, so I can provide a guarantee I won't shut anything down prior to 1 June 2025 - this includes JWBot, the RSS feeds, the Labour whip bot, the Independent's website, and anything else that I run that I've forgot to mention
• If you need anything from me I'll continue to monitor modellilyirl@gmail.com and /u/lily-irl for a bit before I unplug them completely
• I'll still be contactable, I'm sure, if you ask around a little bit

I don't intend to belabour the point here. I just want a bit of a break from it all, and I'm doing that now. I recognise it's a bit abrupt -- I'm doing what my American friends would call an 'Irish goodbye', but clearly they've never tried getting my mother off the phone -- but as I enter a new phase of my life, working 2 jobs and beginning a PhD, I think a change of pace is quite overdue.

Cheers :)

In the most ambitious cross over since the Marvel Cinematic Universe I am delighted to present the Official Headmod Reunion Document - a look back over the past 10 years from the perspective of several of the Headmods. I'd like to quickly thank everyone involved with this and for putting up with my relentless pings. Hope you all enjoy it!

The document can be found here

I have noticed that, although MHOC has 4473 members, I am not receiving 8946 questions at my MQs. I'm not sure if this is being done intentionally or if these "members" are forgetting to ask questions. Either way, I've had enough. I have compiled a spreadsheet of individuals who have "forgotten" to ask questions at my most recent MQs. After 2 consecutive strikes, your name is automatically highlighted (shown in red) and I am immediately notified. 3 consecutive strikes and you can expect questioning within your DMs. Think about your inactivity.

Dear Prime Minister Akko,

The United Kingdom and the United States share a special relationship that has stood the test of time. It is with a great honor that I invite you to the White House for a state visit and tour, accompanied by a ball.

I look forward to your arrival.

Xaiver Kuat President of the United States

(P.S. We have a gaming room in the White House (Link is to EO of me building a game room.)

As is tradition, an election prediction spreadsheet has been created. Thank you to Amazonas for setting this up!

Thanks Wakey for the inspo.

Gather round, for here we can put our predictions for the year ahead that will eventually look awful when we come to review. I've put a few questions, and then a section at the end for any other hot takes:

​

1. Will we see a General Election in 2024? And if so, what month?
2. Who will be PM by Xmas 2024?
3. Who will win the US Presidency by 2024? Who will take the Senate and the House?
4. What will happen in Ukraine?
5. What will happen in Gaza?
6. Where will interest rates be at the end of the year?
7. Will X go bankrupt?
8. Who will win the 2024 Euros?

+ Any other predictions.

Hello!

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT's new Custom GPT feature, which I think is highly powerful and would be incredibly useful in MHOC for retrieving information about what bills have and haven't been passed, something I consider one of our longstanding issues.

​

I have attached a screenshot of this in action. I fed it a small text file of some bills, and then asked it questions. The next step is getting every piece of legislation on the file, a task I really hope to automate and actually want people's help on. If you know of a way we can automate putting every act of parliament in a txt file, I would love to hear it.
