Title: Re: NE1: Criminalization of Blackmail Act Post by: free my dawg on March 01, 2015, 04:26:15 PM I was blackmailed by SirNick, Scourge of the North, who tried to use his powers as Speaker to strong-arm his way back into the Senate race. It didn't work, and I'd like to see an official statute against blackmail.
Title: Re: NE1: Criminalization of Blackmail Act Post by: Blair on March 02, 2015, 01:49:02 AM Since there appears to be no opposition to this bill, and it looks vital after Sir Nick I'll motion for a vote later this morning
