Nobody gets kicked for having or voicing an opinion, opinions are what alliances and friendships are built on. The only problem is that not everyone's opinion is the same, so not every opinion is followed blindly and not everyone's objections or opinions can be acommodated to the letter. Stop reading the externals if you're going to let paranoia overtake you. 90% of it is filthy lies and the other 10% is so twisted you can see the truth but not actually get to it.
All you know for sure is that there will be a world wonder stage in Synope. That's all ANYONE knows except those with the experience and dedication to actually plan, build and protect those wonders. Plans/ideas/opinions - they're fundamental to winning a world and every plan/idea must be discussed and every option must be explored. If they aren't, if there isn't a Plan A and a Plan B then there won't BE any winners. Then you'll have to discuss the plans for stacking wonder cities, and the plans for taking the enemy wonder cities.. on and on and on.
Suppose the 'plans' are discussed here. How much actual planning would get done with so many different voices raising either their objections or giving their opinions? We could go around in circles for months and in the meantime wonders will be upon us without either a plan or a discussion finished.
Sure, everyone wants a say, but for sure everyone isn't going to get one. Wherever you are, I'm sure all the workers, supervisors, leaders, management, don't sit in on company board meetings, otherwise - how would anything get done ?
