SENATE BILL: Reduction of Registration Requirements Amendment (Pass to Regions)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I'm just so tired of the back and forth on registration requirements.

We're going up, We're going down. We're going up, down, down, up, anyway you want me to go. Yea yea yea. You got me doing what you want me, oh baby what do you want me to do?

Lyrics from "What do you want me to do?" by Elvis Presley.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Is Happy in the house?

[Antonio the Sixth]

There is absolutely no valid reason to pass this, and I hope the Senate will reject it whatever the final bill is.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

SPONSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

It's thirsty Thursday. Where do you think the sponsor is?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It be the devil's own elixir. Shall we continue to stand by as the heathen liquid overcomes more and more god fearing gentle folk, or shall we act before its too late. This curse must be removed from any decent god fearing society.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

HappyWarrior needs to be shot for nonchalance in the first degree

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I'M PISSED OFF AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Perhaps if you drank more often, you'd chill out.

But where is Happy? He's posted in other threads. Perhaps he forgot he sponsored this bill?

[HappyWarrior]

Sorry for my absense fellows, real life has been intensely busy but I will accept it as friendly.  Sorry again.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Could you atleast answer the damn question regarding the amendment, Happy boy?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Shua, I am well aware that he answered the damn question in his post, my intent is to torture him for not answering for so long. I thought this was clear.

We can reach a compromise there.

I propose following amendment:

Reduction of Registration Requirements Amendment
Article V, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Atlasian Constitution is hereby amended to read:
1.  A person may become a registered voter if they have attained fifty posts and have been registered at the forum for at least ten days. In registration, the person must state their name and State of fantasy residence; In addition, they may optionally state a political affiliation.

How about that, Happy?

Senators have 24 hours to object to above amendment's passage.

It's Lord High Speaker, you peasant!

I hope my fellow Senators will reject this bill, amended or not.

What's the current incarnation of this bill? 10 days and 50 posts?

What's the current incarnation of this bill? 10 days and 50 posts?

Yes. A reasonable compromise from what liberals want (current) and what most conservatives want (combination of historical ones)

That's not a conservatives vs. liberals issue. That's an issue between prudent people who don't want to ease the next zombie invasion, and foolhardy people who don't realize the dangers of this bill.

One of the biggest problems with this game continues to be activity. If a new member wants to get involved in the game, we shouldn't be requiring them to spam the forum in order to be eligible. 10 days is plenty of time for a new  member to adjust to the site.

Slightly lowering these requirements is not going to make a "zombie invasion" worse. If anything, it'll just mean more spamming on the forum at-large to get them eligible.

No, but I see how it could be interpreted wrong. What I meant was that high requirements would just cause those zombies to have to spam up the forum even more before registering.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I can be bought off for 10 days and fifty posts. What is the current requirement? 75 posts and 7 days? I, too, want to make sure we don't make it so easy that a zombie machine can rise up again, because we've seen what that can do longterm in places like the NE. That said, we can't discourage people either. 10 days and 50 posts, 5 posts a day, seems reasonable enough to me.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, I admit time is probably a better protection than number of posts. If the current requirement is 7 days and 75 posts, I'd agree to 10 days and 50 posts.

Rename this bill "modification of registration requirements" though.
