[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Once, again because of Marokai, this gets pushed ahead as the next non-Marokai bill.


Scott, you have 24 hours to advocate for this.

[Governor Scott]

I checked the Wiki and discovered that we apparently don't have a seal for Atlasia, so I created one myself.

Feel free to rip my art skills to shreds, but I hope we can reach a consensus on how we ought to have an official seal.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Servitude?


Shouldn't it be more ah aspirational?

[Senator Snowstalker]

Sorry to butt in, but that's pretty ugly.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I, um... am kind of at a loss here...

[Governor Scott]

Servitude?


Shouldn't it be more ah aspirational?

What don't you find aspirational about servitude?

Sorry to butt in, but that's pretty ugly.

I, um... am kind of at a loss here...

Honesty is a good thing.

I'd be willing to withdraw this thing and start over.

[Senator Ben]

I'm gonna introduce an amendment, but someone else needs to actually edit the seal

The motto shall read: "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Service is aspirational! Servitude implies involuntary, as in slavery. The People^TM aren't slaves to the gov't, they are slaves to the The People^TM.

The motto shall read: "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

Can someone do this for him, otherwise the amendment will be difficult to process as is?

[Jayhawker]

I say we make this a nationwide competition, where we get a bunch of submissions, let the public vote on which one is the best, then have the Senate adopt that one.

[Governor Scott]

...Oh, wow, that looks pretty bad now, doesn't it?

I'm still thinking about withdrawing this for a new concept, but I'll fix the seal and include Ben's motto for now.

Amendment:

SECTION 2. SEAL DESIGN

1.   The official Seal of the Republic of Atlasia shall appear as the following:

I say we make this a nationwide competition, where we get a bunch of submissions, let the public vote on which one is the best, then have the Senate adopt that one.

That's another good idea.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Even worse because you had servitude below a black face. You wouldn't be trying to tell us something covertly, by doing that, would you?


Ben, do you accept Scott's text as representing the intent of your desired amendment? (basically will you support his amendment and drop your own? )

[Governor Scott]

Even worse because you had servitude below a black face. You wouldn't be trying to tell us something covertly, by doing that, would you?

Not at all.  I don't know what I was thinking.

[Jayhawker]

Not at all.  I don't know what I was thinking.

Scott is racist. I'm just embarrassed that a member of such an esteemed body has such an ignorant position.

[Governor Scott]

Yes, yes, I see how I screwed up majorly with this.

On second thought, I'm going to withdraw my amendment and replace the language of the bill entirely.

Amendment:

A BILL

To establish an official seal for the Republic of Atlasia

Be it enacted by the Senate of the Republic of Atlasia assembled.

SECTION 1. TITLE

This legislation may be cited as the ‘Atlasian Seal Act of 2012.’

SECTION 2. CONTEST FOR NEW SEAL DESIGN

The people of Atlasia will have the opportunity to submit designs for a new seal until October 15th, 2012.  On October 15th, a poll shall open in the Atlas Fantasy Elections board for which submissions may be voted on by the public fora period of three days.  If no seal reaches a majority of the votes, a new poll will be created, and the process will continue until a new seal is selected.

[Svensson]

Well, now we've passed that unique diversion, I would be perfectly willing to back this measure in its current form.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I like this idea. I'll probably support it in its current form, but I do think STV would be a more convenient way to vote.

Just my two cents.

[Senator Napoleon]

Lol

The amendment has passed.

[President Marokai]

I've no problem with the contest idea. Would've voted against the original bill, ftr.

[Bacon King]

I was going to introduce this as my preference for Official Seal of Atlasia, but I like the contest idea too.

Put it in the contest, I'll vote for it!

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

That looks like it is made out of styrofoam (sp?) Most not be high quality.


We ready to go here?
