Voting now?

Aye, of course.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Aye.

My justification is: Why not?

[Marokai Backbeat]

Educational Incentives Act: Aye
Aaron Burr Day Creation Act: Abstain

[Marokai Backbeat]

I'm with Ebowed on this one, it seems. I see no reason to give churches special treatment.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Nay

[Marokai Backbeat]

Ban of Automatic Weapons Act

*signature*

[Marokai Backbeat]

Aye

[Marokai Backbeat]

I have always liked our legislature unelected and open to everyone in this region. I have no desire to see it turn boring, and the second this place turns elected is about the time I stop paying attention to our legislature entirely.

The Pacific General Assembly Amendment: Nay

[Marokai Backbeat]

Nay.

(I don't necessarily think we should require union membership for employment in any given sector, but I don't think we should outright prohibit it, either.)

I won't.  Plus, I am glad that Kal acted so quickly to try and stop this.  Although, I think Marokai's analysis about the numbers is correct, I think having the constitution put this out so clearly is good.  It is quite amazing that no tried this before.  It is quite brilliant.  My hat is off to Meeker for catching this.  That being said, I think it destroys the point of all Senate elections if regions just start creating senate seats.  It will lead to senate seat creation wars where in parties with more power in a region and thus confident of victory will race to create seats to control the Senate. 

I get the distinct impression there will be an attempt to torpedo the Constitutional fix for this sort of thing at the ratification level. But we'll see I suppose. People need to realize what is excitement and what is just causing alot of a frustrating mess for no reason that will either get us nowhere or just be destructive. There's no good outcome to this.

I know you all want to find "excitement" in your own perverse way, but speaking out of character here as people you guys must realize this is not going to do anything good. You're trying to trivialize the very thing Atlasia is founded on, and once you start pulling threads out here and there and stop playing along in the game you're just going to break the whole thing. It's not going to be "fun" for anyone, it's just detrimental all around. Ultimately you're breaking the very nature of elections with something like this and I would just implore you to be serious just for a second as, you know, actual people, and not do this.

This is a game, the second you start disrupting every possible thing you can at every turn, the whole thing just falls apart. That's what you're doing here. You're not making the game more fun, you're trying to knock down support beams that hold the game up at all.
