I am informed that the election is the weekend after next. So, non-RPPers, it is time to come and sit on Santa's lap.

I'd be very honored to receive the RPP's endorsement in the upcoming At-Large Senate election.

Even though I realize it's highly unlikely that I'll get it

Actually, I am quite sure you will get it. What you should be doubting is its value.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The declaration period is over. Endorsement vote starts tomorrow.

All endorsements are of great value to me

That is probably the best approach to take. Determining the value of an endorsement requires calculation too many factors from party turnout to number of candidates of each party and a number of other factors as well.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The endorsement vote will now commense and be completed in 72 hours.


Declared Candidates

At-large Senate:
[  ] 20RP12

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

At-large Senate:
[ 1 ] 20RP12
[ 2 ] Write-in: Teddy  - He can decide later.


Actually I don't even know if write-ins are allowed under the current text.    

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Damn, this ends tonight.


30 minutes left

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Results of the Endorsement Vote:

[1-2]Junkie
[1-2]TJ in Cleve
[3] 20RP12
[4] Teddy

20RP12 has received endorsement by the RPP for the highest non-RPP preference. Teddy has been endorsed by the RPP for it's second highest non-RPP preference.

Also, the 2 dozen or so who didn't bother to vote, are endorsed for my wrath, and school work is hereby endorsed as a major pain in the ass.

Has the patience clock ran out yet? It has? Good, because you are seconds away from "getting some action" here.

The specific party would be mentioned in the actual motion itself.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

My original plan was to hold a vote over the weekend. Then I remembered New Years.


Traditionally, Monday is a slow day as well. I think starting it tomorrow night would be best if there are no other concerns about the text.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well it means losing more time though. hmm What to do?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

When would the dissolution go into effect? Immediately? Feb 1? March?

some details we should figure out

How many times do I have to explain this crap. We aren't voting on dissolution here, we are voting on the bylaw creating the process. The motion for dissolution would contain such details.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We can blame my school for losing the night of the second and Iowa the night of the third.

Without further delay, lets go...

This bylaw amendment is now at vote. Voting shall begin now and end 72 hours after its commencement. All RPPers in good standing who have attained membership on or before January 2nd, 2011, at the exact time at which this is posted will be eligible to vote.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If that wasn't obvious by the title or the content, YES it is a bylaw amendment.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Abstain

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am pretty sure the last three voters are fashionably late.

If I don't have time tonight, I will calculate the results tomorrow. The result should be pretty obvious though.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye (18): Tmth, TJ in Cleve, AHDuke99, Marokai, MoPolitico, Zuwo, Clarence, Teddy, Junkie, Dead0man, PiT, Dereich, 20RP12, ChairmanSanchez, BBF, MaxQue, MilesC56, and A-Bob

Nay (0):

Abstain (1): NC Yankee

Voted after time elapsed (2): Cathcon and Inks

Voted a second time after time elapsed: AHDuke99

The bylaw has passed. I think we should require a quorum of 50% from now on. Not to make it so this wouldn't have passed, but to ensure that we (reads I, ) contact that right people sooner then end of day two to drive turnout.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I say schedule a vote ASAP, I propose this coming thursday though sunday.

That would be illegal under the bylaw we just passed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The bylaw referenced in the topic line that still hasn't been updated to reflect passage. It is three pages back in the thread.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Once again, we passed the bylaw a few days ago. The vote occured right here in this very thread. I don't see how you could have missed it.


Vote on what today?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We've been talking about this forever now. Just do it already!

Would you rather we rush it, mess it up, and thus cause it to fail because it was messed up.


Hey, now that's an idea.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Based on the comments I have read and the feedback I have seen, the composition of that motion will have an impact on the support it receives. I would rather loose a day or two to ensure that it is right, then have to spend a week voting on a false start and have to start all over again (the bylaw only works once, remember). There is no margin for error here. My caution is justified.

Just for emphasis, THE BYLAW ONLY WORKS ONCE!  There won't be a second motion if it is messed up. The bylaw would have to be re-passed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

And as I stated bgwah, most of that two months was lost because supporters of this idea of yours couldn't be bothered to respond to my questions and discussion of the bylaw in a timely fashion.

Every step of the way in this process I have been met with laziness and general ignorance of even what your initial proposal contained, BY ALLEGED SUPPORTERS!!! Don't lecture me on the timeliness of this process.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I didn't answer questions because I DIDNT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT GETTING THINGS MOVING. if we are using allcaps.

What? I was talking to bgwah. I have been trying to get people to review the motion you wrote and get feedback on it, if you haven't noticed. The only reason I used caps on a few words in two different posts IN RESPONSE TO BGWAH () is because I am sick of people operating in this movement on partial, incomplete, and incorrect information.
