Senators have 72 hours to object to this bill being brought to the floor ahead of all that other stuff.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

No amendments, other points, objections?


I am fine with reducing the number of posts, but the day requirement is kind of low.

[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?

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.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

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

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

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

[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.

I apologize once again lord Speaker!

Your punishment shall be the continuance of my creation of stupid and corny nicknames for you.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Duke, Yank, Oakvale, someone !! Please just vote nay !

Rowan likes to vote nay. Just ask him

Asking him to vote Nay might cause him to vote aye.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We aren't voting on anything right now. Antonio is just buying votes.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well there are some monstrous storms heading towards the Carolinas tonight and tomorrow morning, so be carefull what you wish for, bgwah. You might just regret, for, I don't know how does eternity sound?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

What would I vote nay on? Are we voting on an amendment? Can I amend to the following:

Duke are you still pursing this amendment or not? Some of the recent discussions have rendered it kind of excessive on the day requriement.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So noted. I hope other amendments will soon be forth coming soon to deal with this issue.

A vote is now open on Amendment 24 by Senator Antonio, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.


Nay

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This amendment is tied 3-3



Duke, bgwah, Oakvale and Snowguy have yet to vote.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Nay

My fellow colleagues supporting more stringent registration requirements would turn this place into a club of a few select people that have satisfied the insane requirements in order to play the game.  Atlasia should be available to any and all who are interested without undue barriers.

If you were really that put off by people like Hamilton, get over it!  You act as if you lost sleep over it, when in fact it probably only increased legitimate interest in the game.  I know I joined because I wanted to get in on the action.  I can't imagine wanting to join now if I were still uninvolved.

Damn, next you'll be saying Hamilton helped revive the NE in late 2009. Antonio is going to be mad when he sees this.

As too your first paragraph, it should be noted that there must be something great about Minnesota when both you and Fritz get it on this "exclusivity push".

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Take 1: Session Time Out (See Atlas board for explanation )

Take 2:

I love it when six people have gone one way or the other. It's such a timesaver.


Final vote on Amendment #24 by Antonio to the Reduction of Registration Requirements Act

Ayes (3): Antonio V, Kalwejt, and RowanBrandon
Nays (6): AHDuke99, bgwah, HappyWarrior, NC Yankee, shua, and Snowguy716
Abstain (0):

Didn't Vote (1): Oakvale

The amendment is not adopted.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Activity for the sake of activity isn't always good. It's hard to argue Hamilton effected the game in a positive way. His actions, while they did bring attention due to the sheer ridiculousness, would eventually have torn the game apart.

I still want an amendment for 2 weeks. I'm not sold on reducing it to 10 days quite yet.

Really? No sh**t.

Nay

I can't even respond to so much bullsh*t.


Ok guys, pass this crap and enjoy the next zombie invasion.

Do you not know what sarcasm is? God, you are starting to be worse then Marokai in terms of annoying me.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I plan to veto this if this amendment passes. 18 is a completely random number that will make counting back more difficult, and is also too excessive.

I'd enjoy hearing where you think the President has the authority to veto Constitutional Amendments.

Maybe because the word Amendment wasn't included in the Topic Line in the last Update of it, confused him. It needs updating so I will add it back in now.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If you go back to the 2nd of May when I changed it, after starting the vote, the word "amendment" got removed from the title and inserted back in the parenthesis to describe the current action being taken. I can't remember if it was just a error or if it was necessitated by limited space which happens at times, probably the former.

Edit: A quick experiement reveals that SENATE BILL: Reduction of Registration Requirements Amendment (Amendment at Vote) doesn't fit. Why I eliminated a word from the title instead of abreviating the action like I would normally do, I can't tell you.

How is this then?

Which reminds me, we need to figure out the numbering system if my tracker is continued.
