I oppose this amendment and call for a vote on it. The free move should be removed as it is just another way for these people to pawn the system.

I think 125 days and specifically scrap the free move is appropriate.

The free move is necessary to keep people in the game.

No it's not. Moving should be just made on a whim. In real life you don't just move for the hell of it.

This isn't real life, so get over it.

Purple State def. made use of his free move.

I'm glad I moved.

Were you registered in New York for over 180 days?

What other reason to keep it than to be able to maneuver your zombies where you want them? You seem to be the only one fighting against this bill.

Saying that I used it therefore it is vital to the game is a logical fallacy. I am sure I would have survived without it. Now, especially with the proliferation of regional legislatures and rise in activity from my early days, the free move is unnecessary. Involvement in the game is not limited based on your region as it was when only the Mideast actually did anything.

Maybe because I'd never want to be stuck in a crappy region like the South or Pacific that are boring and uneventful.

Partly because members who would vote for the legislature can't keep their asses in the region because they need to strategically register somewhere else.

The Pacific is another story and would probably be more exciting if non-JCP members actually gave it a shot and stayed.

People left the South because they didn't like Bacon King and DWTl.

People left the Pacific because it's boring and there is no way to fix it.

DWTL left the Southeast, so I don't really follow your logic there.

The Pacific would be less boring if people stayed, so your logic is actually backwards here.

Either way, the free move is a bad idea and, if it must remain, should be somewhere around 72 hours, not a week.

DWTL left the South after others. I know Dan left it because of DWTL. DWTL left because of Bacon King.

I wouldn't mind the Senate putting an end to stupid moving like that either. If you leave because you dislike a person in your region... please...

And DWTL left the Southeast to run for Senate, nothing else.

He wouldn't have left if he were an Assemblyman. All Bacon King's fault.

I believe we just treat this as a friendly amendment, so Senators have 24 hours to object.

I saw no objections to the amendment, so consider it done.

Do I not exist?

I apologize. If non-Senators would stop cluttering this up it'd be easier to read. As soon as I read over this thread I saw a ton of PS and Hamilton posts (with you thrown in from time to time) and immediately thought "Okay, I'm so not reading this, this can't be important."

Quoting my post would've made it easier to notice among the sea of other posts.

Anyway, here you are:



The following amendment is at a vote, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain:

I have a certain soft spot for the 'free move.' It allows people who are new to the game to get more used to it and move to a region they more appreciate. We should still retain some newbie-friendliness.

Unfortunately it also has the potential for great abuse, which is why I'm conflicted. However, if people are going to vote stack, I'd imagine they'd do it in the initial registration, and not necessarily in the free move.
It depends on whether someone is recruited for asshattery from outside the forum, or right after he registers. Either is perfectly rational and has happened in the past.

There is currently no such thing as a legally defined thing called a "free move" though, and absolutely no argument for creating it. If you want to stop people from moving between the 8th and 180th day after registering as well as within 180 after moving, it would be wise to write an amendment that simply says so.

Aye.

I like keeping the free move for the first seven days and then removing it as an option. We could amend it later to reduce the limit from 180 to 125 or whatever, but that basic structure and change to the free move is good.
