Due note that we aren't addressing the punishment issue with this, just expanding it to include the Candidate Declaration thread. So please only object, if you oppose that expansion.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The amendment from yesterday adding the Candidate declaration thread has passed.

So is there consensus on a reduced penalty act? If not, then I will offer the text changing this is into a resolution as a amendment when I come on tomorrow.

Nay


I understand that greetings in the registration thread may seem to constitute clutter and may make Homely's job a little bit more difficult. He certainly has the power to ask that we refrain from posting such comments.

But I'm of the mind that those greetings have more positives than negatives. I think it would be a bit of an overreach to condemn behaviour that could be construed as positive. It shouldn't be our job to deal with issues like this one.

That being said, I respect Homely and will not be posting in his registration thread unless I have to. You'll notice that most people seem to be following his request anyway. I urge others to do the same.

[Senator Ben]

Nay

[Senator Sbane]

Aye

[Redalgo]

Nay

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye

[Governor Scott]

Aye.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Could we get some more votes here. It is 3-4, with 3 not voting.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Don't Make Me Come Over There!!!

[Bacon King]

Aye

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We need either NVTownsend to brake this tie one way or the other, or we wait till the 22nd and have Nathan do the honors.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This will run out of time soon. I may not be on to end it at that time though. It will need a VP tie breaker unless NVTownsend votes before then.

[Svensson]

Aye.

[President Marokai]

This is such a silly thing to pass. We really need another stickied thread that people will barely use on the general Atlasia board? Really guys?

[VP Duke]

The senate needs The People back. Desperately.
