Regional Protection Party

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I sent notices to all of the party members about the elections. In the process, I came across a terrifying fact concerning PMs. If you send a PM to 10 people, it's counted as sending 10 PMs. This caused me to hit the 20 PMs per hour limit. Now I know better for the future.

We may be the only people to have ever legitimately hit that limit.

     At least the warning doesn't reset the timer, unlike the posting within 20 seconds one. If it did, there would be a hole in my wall in the shape of a human fist.

I hate that the 20 seconds one does that.

     I do too, though it's rather bearable since it's only 20 seconds.

Perhaps we should have an email list or something, to avoid that in the future?

     I'll just space the PMs out more in the future. It's not the end of the world if some folks get their notices a couple of hours after I start sending them out.

Send it to the regional chairman and ask them to send it to the members in their region.

     Good idea. I'll be sure to do that in the future.

[Associate Justice PiT]

you endorsed him once? what happened there?

He decided he liked me in August (just as he had last December). It wasn't an endorsement per se, but almost all members gave me a second preference.

     How was it not an endorsement per se?

[Associate Justice PiT]

right you might not even hold an office.

That would be a good bet

His dream job apparently is SoEA, no way Pres. Jesus is giving to give him that spot or any other in the cabinet.  The SDP is not large enough to hold two at-large senate seats, so unless he tries to strong arm Al out (which wouldn't be bad really), he's not going to the senate.  And if he thinks he can win a regional Pacific seat w/Jesus in the White House, he's dreaming

i just wonder if he will ever get it.

     I have a strong suspicion that at some point in the near future, we'll be happy to have Ronnie out there in the Pacific.

why?

     Haven't you noticed that a large proportion of Pacifickers are inactive, generally speaking?

Pacificans, dammit.

     How about Pacificonianites (cookie for whoever gets the reference)?

I won't answer it then cause I am on a diet.

     Nice one! Do you know what it is a reference to, though?

[Associate Justice PiT]

Hmm?

     I guess he's referring to you becoming Governor or Lt. Governor after Bgwah takes office. Also, I find it funny that it's been almost two pages since someone with the avatar of a Southern state posted.

I don't. You're (almost) all carpetbaggers.

     The Southeastern RPP is (barely) majority Southern. Interestingly, outside of the Southeast, we only have two carpetbaggers. Meeker (who has been in the Mideast for awhile it would seem) & Smid (out of necessity since Australia is not a part of Atlasia).

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Through Bob Dole:

     In total, we have 8 members in the Southeast, 4 in the Mideast, 4 in the Northeast, 2 in the Midwest, & 1 in the Pacific.  Every state in the Southeast has a citizen again.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Good for the goose and all that.

Hmm?

     I don't know what he means either.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Indirect election?

That's an interesting idea, though your motives are clear here.

Honestly I have no motives, I'm not really sure at what you are getting at.  The RPP candidate will win the Dirty South for awhile unless there are drastic changes.  I actually want to get a DS legislature as I feel there is a lot of talented people and not enough positions.

The legislature would also be free to select a member or the Gov or Lt. Gov..

A Tennessee-style system where the legislature elects the Lt. Gov. would be interesting.

But the real question here is what "posters" today are ericadlers, created to undermine fantasy elections?

The RPP may want to ask itself this.

     What if we prohibited any party from holding a majority of the seats in the legislature?

Undemocratic.

     Also unworkable since only the RPP & SDP have anything resembling a presence in the Dirty South.

[Associate Justice PiT]

"Could regain it" isn't very reassuring. Why did it lose it in the first place?

Bgwah taking over the presidency

     Indeed. CultureKing hasn't been very active lately from what I've seen. Does anyone know why?

[Associate Justice PiT]

I say we just elect Inks Governor-for-life.

At this point I would probably support that.

     Well yeah, that would be the sane thing to do.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Through Frihetsivrare:

     In total, we have 8 members in the Southeast, 4 in the Mideast, 3 in the Northeast, 2 in the Midwest, & 2 in the Pacific.  In other news, this is the first time there's been a non-JCPer in WA in what feels like forever.

There's an RPPer in my fair state of Vermont?

     Smid. He's been there for a long time.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Damn.  All this time we've been rebuilding regions and winning elections we forgot the obvious most important thing that should consume 90% of our party discussions:

A FLAG!

But seriously we should get one, I propose the "Don't Thread on Me" thing.

Anyone wishing to object has 72 hours to do so

Works for me.

     Me too.

[Associate Justice PiT]

      Something momentous has happened! With the appointment of Smid to the Northeastern Judiciary, a majority (10 out of 19 to be precise) of RPPers now hold public office!

What? Two governors, two senators, two lt. governors, one vice-president, one judge, one assemblyman, where does the other one come in?

     Keelhaul it all, it seems I put Ben on the list twice.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Why exactly do we need a new Northeastern chair?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Why exactly do we need a new Northeastern chair?

Smid resigned the position when he became CJO, conflict of interest in his opinion and I agree with him

     Ah. Since RB has disappeared & Generic is no longer a member of the RPP, I guess Driedapples is the only option left here.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Sorry for the false alarm earlier, but now 10/19 RPPers are employed in public office. This includes:

4/5 in the Mideast
4/7 in the Southeast
1/2 in the Midwest
1/3 in the Northeast
0/2 in the Pacific
