Kondoarviolla

Kondoarviolla is a fictional concept that appears in contemporary world-building and tabletop role-playing contexts. It denotes a participatory process in which a community collectively evaluates information, decisions, or proposals through structured dialogue and evidence gathering, with a goal of achieving consensus. In-universe, Kondoarviolla is described as a method for transparent decision-making that balances openness with practical moderation.

The process typically unfolds in three stages: evidence gathering, deliberation, and public ratification. During evidence gathering, members submit sources and data. Deliberation uses moderated discussions, often with rotating facilitators, to challenge assumptions. Ratification requires a qualified majority and the creation of a public record. In many renderings, the method includes a time limit for discussion and a requirement to address opposed viewpoints. The concept is used to explore themes of trust, accountability, and the difficulties of collective reasoning in decentralized communities.

The term is a constructed coinage, drawing on Finnish-language morphology to evoke a sense of place and form. It combines a root resembling “arvio” (estimate) with a fictional placename form and locative suffix, yielding a pronounceable neologism. The idea originated in collaborative writing and gaming communities in the 2020s and has since appeared in fan wikis, game supplements, and meta-narratives about governance in speculative settings. Related discussions often compare Kondoarviolla to real-world practices such as consensus decision-making and deliberative democracy, while noting its fictional status.
