Since the sponsor didn't specify, I'll assume he was only responding to mine and not both. Therefore, how does the sponsor view this amendment?

I'll give it a favorable review.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I object.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Senators have 24 hours to object.


An objection has already been entered, albeit probably illegally, but I am in good mood today and will accept it. A vote shall begin when I feel like starting it.

Senators a vote is now open on the above amendment, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Nay

Abolishing any post requirement outright is just ridiculous.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Nay - you know my stance already.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Nay

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Nay

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Abstain

[Ban my account ffs!]

Aye

[HappyWarrior]

Nay, Antonio is probably right.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Oh Senators!!! Your breakin my heart, your shaking my confidence daily
Oh Senators!!! I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please come vote

Now vote you remaining Senators (Rowan is exempt from pain this time but only if his LOA included today) or I continue to destroy your ears and murderously torture the legacy of Simon & Garfunkel.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I have seen nothing wrong with a vote taking its fully required time if the split is tied 5-5. I do have a problem with a vote tacking its full time if its tied at 4-4 or one sides leads but is under 6 with 2 or 3 HAVING NOT VOTED!!!!

[Antonio the Sixth]

If my count is right, there are 5 nays and one abstention, so unless someone changes his vote the Amendment is mathematically rejected.

So new idea, per Junkie:

Perhaps make extremely low requirements (if any) to join the game. Make another set of requirements to actually vote.

Thoughts? I will say, this would be a bit more of a hassle for the RG, SoFE, and party chairmen.

I think it's an excellent idea. It will take time to craft such a bill, though.

I doubt it.  It adds a fun new dynamic to the game and, considering that we only get new members every once in a while, it shouldn't be that big of a deal for the RG.  As for party Chairmen, they can work around it.

You're right. For some reason, I was thinking they'd have to go through recent postings of a person to find if they qualify, but I guess for this, they'd just have to take a quick glance at their post count to determine if they are a valid voter.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I feel like this will just create unnecessary confusion. Is it really a big deal to be registered but not be allowed to vote? I mean, you post in the new register thread that you live in a state and then what? You're free to participate in discussion whether you're registered or not. I'm not sure what this does except to make a nightmare for all of us. I can't imagine Yankee and myself having to figure out who is eligible to vote each time we have an election.

How would that be difficult for Yankee, yourself, and I, as well as other party's leaders? All you do is look at their post count, and if it's above whatever number we'd set, they're golden.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

But what's the point? If this bill passes, not only do we have to figure out if someone is eligible with activity, but now we have to go through post counts.

Again, what does this bill do besides creating headaches for people involved? What benefit does someone have who registers and cannot vote? Voting and running is why we register. There's no other reason.

Don't we already have two sets of requirements for joining and voting?

I could have sworn we have already been doing this. But I might be mistaken.
