A resolute and definitive no. The last thing we need is easing zombie recruitment.

^^^

My thoughts exactly.

Also: quality, people, quality. It's better to have less, but committeed, citizens, than being flooded.

I'm going to oppose this, sorry.

If you want to join, you can wait a little.

You really don't remember zombie invasion, when people were registering onsite just to get involved in Atlasia? Come on!

Yeah, Shua. What's the relevance of few less days?

Geez, if you want to get involved, it's even better you have few additional days to rethink it and learn more, before registering.

I'll oppose the bill.

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?

I proposed a compromise amendment because this is going to pass anyway so it's better to reduce potential damage here Tongue

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. Evil

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

I apologize once again lord Speaker!

It's Lord High Speaker, you peasant!

Hold on! If we have it specified in constitution, this bill is unconstitutional and the only way to change it is constitutional amendment passed with required majority and ratified by regions.

...unless I'm confused and this is not a bill but constitutional amendment project Huh

Also, any Senator voting aye will be personally invited for a nice party in my beautiful villa, with the most "committed" girls from my campaign team. Grin

Consider me corrupted successfully.

I just love how minor and silly all of this is. We've literally arrived at the point that you're debating over removing one day off of the account age requirement. Someone please inform me how that decision will make the activity just flood in.

Unless you abolish these requirements altogether, you're still going to have people have to meet requirements and you're still going to be "shutting people out." If you really want to have activity flood in, try axing the requirements entirely. Otherwise this is the very definition of a teeny tiny purely-for-show effort.

I feel like we're not even on the same page here. One side just wants to whittle away at the activity requirements just for the hell of it while the other side is screaming "what the hell is that going to do, exactly?" while the other side basically has no answer.

Legislating!

We're extremely sorry we can't reach Marokai's greatness as Senator. Oh, if he only didn't run from active Atlasia politics sometimes ago... I guess we didn't beg him enough to stay and led our tiny brains to the better future.

The Senate.

I've made a proposal some time ago that maybe should be considered.

I don't think we should establish 3 different classes of citizens (registered Atlasian, registered voters and actual voters). But since there already are requirements for vote, we can make things even more simple.

For example, if today you have to be there for 14 days before registering, and you have to be registered for 14 days before posting, we can amend it so that it's 7-21 instead.

Class society? No thanks.
