Nomination Thread: Barnes for HAEV [confirmed]

[Barnes]

What's a member of the HAEV called? We need a better name. Let's call it the Electoral Commission or something.

To change the name, we'd have to change the statute. If you'd like, get someone to sponsor a bill for you; it's not like the Senate is too busy right now

The official title, though, for a member of HAEV is presumably "Member of the High Authority for Ethics in Voting" which does sound kinda cool.

I think the head of the HAEV should be called the High Inquisitor, like Dolores Umbridge. lol

[Barnes]

What in your opinion is a zombie?

Well, I am inclined to take this approach:

A zombie registers to vote, they do not participate in the function of the game at all (by this, I mean they don't post in either boards), they may show up to vote once and then disappear. These Zombies should be de-registered without question. This also applies to zombies that never vote at all, and their only post in there registration.

Other zombies will register in Atlasia, and only participate in elections. I believe we should me more lenient to these members. We could simply question them and see what they have to say.

Also, I do not consider a "troll" and a "zombie" the same thing. A troll might be a zombie, but not always.

[Barnes]

I'm willing to answer any questions.

I mostly agree, Mr. Associate Justice.

Although, I do ask for clarifaction of what you mean by "intelligent":

It is a bit of an awkward thing to define, I suppose. By that I mean not posting responses to lengthy and mature posts within mere seconds just to spam the thread, not insulting just for the sake of insulting, basically just not being a troll like ECR. Just being mature and fair in your responses in general.

Ah, I see. I agree with that assessment.

I promise I'm not ignoring you. It's just a long list!

I would de-register many of those voters, some haven't contributed for many years, but they were former officer holders, so I would have to investigate them, further.

Also, many of those are newbies, and have run for office, etc., I do not consider them zombies.

[Barnes]

Wow, he can't even answer the question.

I resent that comment.

As to ECR, I never said he didn't contribute. He might be a bit "trollish", but I don't believe he's a zombie.

As I've said before, a Troll is different form a Zombie.

[Barnes]

Wow, he can't even answer the question.

There's like 33 posters there, dude. The point of HAEV is to evaluate people in depth on a case by case basis. This board isn't design to operate like "You get eliminated, and you get eliminated, and you get eliminated!"

Exactly. The way I wish the HAEV to operate is each individual is accused of being a troll, we conduct a full investigation, and pass sentence. Of course, they have the possibility of appeal.

You resent the truth?

You didn't answer tthe question, and you should.

I resent being told that I can not answer the question. As if it is below my comprehension.

Then why didn't you answer the question? The only other option would be "too lazy."

Yeah, something as serious as de-registering members based on arbitrary whims, and look at how how seriously they're taking it...

"Arbitrary whims"?

Do you honestly think I would de-register anyone just because I felt like it. No!

I strongly disagree with you, politically, but I would not call you a zombie, even though you might think I am. And I would not de-register you.

[Barnes]

I am updating the zombie list BTW, once I'm done I'd be more than happy to present it to the HAEVs

Thank you.

Personally, I'm very happy with your work!

I wont say I have never made a mistake, but I strive to always do my best!

Also, if I had known who the heck you were, I'd have preferenced you higher in the last election

Don't worry about it.

[Barnes]

OK, looking at some general guidelines now. Would you consider holding past office sufficient to be protected from removal from the list? Also, how long would you give new members to do something before moving to remove them? In general, that is.

Well, by holding office I mean they could be Lt. Gov. of a region or President, the position doesn't matter.

But, for example, if they held office three years ago, and haven't participated in the game since then, in any form, then I believe they should be de-registered.

Well, that is a very good question, I don't think we should ever just look at a new register and say "zombie", at the least we should allow a few weeks to a month, and then we should only look into it, and not immediately de-register, that should never happen.

[Barnes]

I know that I am not a member of the Senate, but I would like to speak for just a moment as a former member of this body.

  I would like to just say that I fully support Barnes for this position, and it was a great decision to nominate him. During his time as Lt. Governor, he has done a execellent job, and has been very fair minded and honest. I fully support him for this position, and I hope others would agree.

Thank you, Governor.

We don't even have one.

In the absence of the PPT, the Vice President preforms those duties. That's pretty simple.

I know. I'm just poking at the absurdities of this session. All our PPTs have disappeared.

True. Purple State is was like the "Kiss of Death".

[Barnes]

Hey, I think I've been running things pretty decently

Votes will be held very shortly.

I'm not complaining about you.

I'm just a very impatient person.

[Barnes]

I thank the Senate for their Faith in me.

[Barnes]

Congrats Barnes.

Thanks.
