I would like to take just a moment to bid adieu to my colleagues in the Assembly.  Until quite recently, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of this body, and I wish all of luck going forward.  I hope that the reasons for my resignation will persuade members to adopt more constructive and conciliatory methods of debate.  See you all around. Smiley

Barnes, I am sorry to see you resign from the Assembly under these unfortunate circumstances, and would, at this time, like to personally thank you for your service to the Northeast and to Atlasia.

I would much rather that the Assembly could have worked out differences amicably rather than acrimoniously.

I have to say that I feel as responsible as anyone for this situation, and for that I am sorry.  However, of late, debate, discussion, and statements in the Assembly, from various individuals, myself and others, have been less than admirable.

I am hopeful that we in the Assembly can work out our differences in a mutually acceptable and agreeable way.

In the meanwhile, all the best to you in your future endeavors.

The Speaker has deregistered.  Under the SOAP, the Lt. Governor needs to open up nominations for Speaker.  He can't run in the election.

Mr. Lt. Governor, please do the honors.

Also, what happened to the posts with our most recent legislation.  Was it deleted?

I would request we wait until SirNick's replacement is appointed - I have a few people lined up and am waiting on a response. I'm sure it will be quick.

As for the debate? Seems like Nick deleted everything on his way out.

Is there any way we can get the posts back?  Perhaps one of the mods can help.

The SOAP says, "At the beginning of each term of the Assembly, and at any time when the office is vacant, the first order of business of the Assembly shall be to elect the Speaker."  In other words, we can't do anything until we elect another speaker.  Please be quick or we'll have to move on without you.  I think your appointment is permanent this time, as it is February.

I'm fully aware.

Matt has resigned as Lieutenant Governor.

Should I open up the vote for Speaker nominations, since it appears that I am authorized to do so?

After the 24 hour nomination period has passed - but only if there is more than one nominee.  Otherwise, the sole nominee becomes speaker without a vote.

Also worth noting that the bills being debated/voted on at the time SirNick deleted them were:

NE1: Restoration of the Arts Act
NE2: Responsible Drinking and Driving Act
NE3: Amendment to the Northeast Public Intoxication Act

The Number Three Act was also tabled, so it should not be introduced next go-around.

If anyone wants to archive any of the passed bills that I signed, all of them are located in my office.

Unless the version of the SOAP that's on the Wiki has been subsequently amended but not updated on the Wiki, there's no need for an election.

Role of Speaker Section 5 states: "At the close of nominations, if only one member has been nominated, he shall immediately be declared to have been elected."

Only one member has been nominated.  So Matt should be declared elected Speaker.

Thank you, my dear friends! It would appear that the former speaker went down the unfortunate route of deleting all of the recent debate threads. As soon as I figure out where we are in terms of bills, then we can get back to work.

See Governor Sawx's post above.  There were three bills on the floor when the purge began.  You should start there.

I am out of a job because the new Assembly is now in session.  Elected officials should swear in again on the swear-in thread, even if they did it last session.  Good luck to the new Assembly!

The new session should start. Those elected in the election could swear in starting Thursday.

The first thing to do for the assembly is elect a Speaker. That election is usually run by the Lieutenant Governor. I don't think that has been announced yet and the Lt Governor swear in.

For reference, this is what the SOAP on the wiki says about the Speaker's election.
