Senator, you have 24 hours to advocate for this.


Is it customary to capitalize the first letter after a hyphen in cases like these?

Is it customary to capitalize the first letter after a hyphen in cases like these?

The Wiki happens to use both. Hahaha.

lol, nice job Marokai.

Well it is closer now to being accurate then what seatown originally put it as.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I don't have a particular problem with co-ops, but as Scott said this current text is presently lacking in definition and in standards, which poses and open invitation for fraud if you ask me.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I might be able to work up an amendment, but I will need some time.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Oh no! SEATOWN!!!!!!!!!  You let the 24 hours expire last night.



Motion to Table (unless there is a LOA somewhere from him)

Damn it all the hell! Why can't you people just be active!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Whether or not someone says they will amend has no bearing on the obligations I place on sponsors in the first 24 hours. The very reason I place the obligation is so that the sponsor can respond to critiques and they can be dealt with quicker then otherwise would be the case. Not to mention it ensures the sponsor is there to answer questions and at least cares enough about the bill to post something about why it is needed in the first 24 hours. If a sponsor fails to do that, then I can only assume it isn't important and thus I will automatically motion to table all bills whose sponsor fails to post as required. This has been my policy for several months and has been mentioned or referred to in literally every bill brough to the floor since where I state, "okay you have 24 hours....".

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The motion will stand, but it is meaningless without a second and since you have posted I will recommend that no one second it.

We should define this business model in the bill, otherwise with no legal defination of what qualifies for the loans, anyone could call themselves and Co-op and then be eligible for money.

Senators have 24 hours to object.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This has about three hours left.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The amendment has passed.


Is there anything else that needs to be done with this? Should we consider limiting this specific industries? I fear if too widely diseminated, we may not get an accurate picture of the results of the program.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Does the sponsor have any reponse to the Game Moderator?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

SEATOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Would that require an amendment?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

You think? Doesn't sound promising from a strength of the language standpoint.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Could you define what you mean by soon? It has been five days already.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

First off, remove the highlighting of the section I added, which is now in the current text, and instead highly the changes you are making.

Then if you could label it as Amendment introduce/offered/proposed/ or just state "I offer this amendment", then I could move forward with the process. Every text is not an amendment, even if every amendment is a text.

Are we done here? No answer will lead me to open a vote tomorrow when I come on.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Senators a vote is now open on this bill, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well this will at least give the SoIA something to do that isn't from a while ago, and thus easily ignored.


Aye.


I would prefer it to be funded and have a time sunset but we'll monitor what the SoIA and GM say about it and reform it as we go if needed. That is how these things are suppose to work.
