Nay

The free move is an embarrasment to the system.

But what if a newbie moves to the Dirty South Tongue

I don't particularly like the free move....but I can see its merit. Aye.

This bickering in the Senate has got to stop, it's not even entertaining or substantive bickering. And yes, this goes for Rowan too.

Anyway I'm just thrilled I held a vote on that.

With 6 Ayes, the amendment has passed and debate continues.

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.
I agree with Blue. The problem isn't so much with newbies figuring out the system, but with old hands cynically engaging in region hopping depending on the next hotly contested race. Give newbies a chance to get their feet wet and switch once within 30 days of first registration. After that it's 6 months.

Again, newbies aren't the problem.

Enough.  Have some dignity, instead of acting like a small child.

Its better them your horrendously bad idea. I would rather try this first, then see if works then jump right into huge changes like you want.


Stop disrepected the hollowed chambers of the Senate. Great mighty men have worked where you now slither over in comparison to there stature, so please, some respect would be nice.

You think that these paper barriers will halt strategic registration?

No. The risk is too great. Forcing new members to wait almost a month will turn Atlasia ever more into a walled-off island. This is cutting off the nose to spite the face. I would prefer zombies to this.

Plus people would just find ways around it anyway.

Not at all. Stopping legitimate people from discovering Atlasia is far worse than nothing.

Why should they have to wait to join your elite and exclusive club?

Indeed. If I had to wait 25 days, I would have never joined. We shouldn't be restricting access to people who "really care" before joining.

May I recommend simply saying "six months" instead of 180 days? It would be easier for the SoFA to count that way. Or maybe I'm just being silly... Smiley

     I think you are talking about a different amendment. This is the one that increases the time between moves to six months.

In either case, I'd have left if I were stuck in the Pacific. It goes for both of these atrocious bills.

I didn't realise this bill had a clause that made people have to wait 25 before registering. I thought that was a separate amendment. Maybe we could reduce to 20, as a compromise if so.

I would be willing to introduce an amendment, but I don't have time till this evening. So I hope Marokai doesn't bring this up for a final vote before then.

I'm very pro-debate, so usually even if there's an inkling of debate left, I'll be keeping it open. You don't have anything to worry about with this bill anyway, it won't come up for a final vote yet.
