Census Bureau of Atlasia: RG Fritz

Out of curiosity, why am I listed as not being able to change regions until July? It was my impression from some dialogue on the broader issue many moons ago that everyone is entitled to one free move that does not expire. Seeing as how I rejoined without moving in the past six months, I don't think there is any restriction on my residency unless I had moved to a second region after re-joining.

When you de-registered, you were in the IDS.  You re-registered in a different region, that is a move.  What is unclear about this?

You don't have to be sassy about it.

The appropriate amount of time had passed and I did not change my state of registration from one region to another within the past 180 days (I was in the IDS for 18 months), so my registration should be treated as any other new registration in the game. Deregistration doesn't count as a region change.

[Adam Griffin]

Just to clarify: I'm not trying to count the free move that I possessed prior to de-registration, but rather stating that the statute and constitutional stipulations regarding this don't apply here and that I should have a free move upon my registration.

[Adam Griffin]

Put it this way.  If you had never de-registered and remained in the IDS all that time, then made a new registration in the Northeast as you have done, I'm sure you would agree that that is a region change, meaning you can't move again for six months.  Right?  So why should the fact that you de-registered change that?

Actually, assuming this is the case and in my particular situation, I wouldn't agree: I never used my free move prior and never moved during those first 18 months, either.

If it is to be said that my situation prior to de-registration is to be counted in all of this, then I would have legally been able to move to a new region (in this case, the Northeast) due to not having moved in at least six months. Under the scenario you outlined, yes, I would have to wait six months, except that I should also still have my free move left that everyone receives when they initially register (in my case, May 2012), n'est pas? Either my free move from before is counted or I received one upon rejoining; I don't see how in this particular case, it can simply vanish.

[Adam Griffin]

I think you are misunderstanding the concept of a "free move".  When a new person registers, that initial registration is not considered a "move", therefore they can change regions in less than 6 months if they so choose.  No time is set for "next possible region change" for a brand new citizen.  Once a move is made, the 6 month rule is applied.  Make sense?

It'd appear so, and yes, it makes sense now. I went back and dug up the relevant conversation. For some reason, I was thinking that it was decided that there was no expiration on a free move (versus six months), but instead, it was six months (versus 7 days). Thinking that it didn't expire, that made me assume that the concept of a "free move" was something everyone possessed so long as they moved no more than once every 180 days (or hadn't moved within the past 180 days). Sorry for the confusion here.   

[Adam Griffin]

Just one quick question/clarification and then I'm off: are you saying that someone has to be de-registered for six months before they are allowed to re-register and not be bound to Article V, Section II/treated as a new registration?

Was PR's party change counted? I know his move wasn't.

No, because he deleted the post.

Ah, OK - hadn't checked since.

Operation cottonfield appears to have been a smashing success.

Labor's cursed ceiling has always been at 50. WTG AARP

Governor Varavour has requested of me that The People's Region of the Pacific be referred to by its full name, abbreviated herein as "TPRP".

Can we not do that? It sounds Soviet.

Coming soon:




Also, no reasonable resolution to this silliness might require The Most Serene Republic for the Midwest to ask for similar considerations. Certainly they won't allow themselves to be out-loonied.

[Adam Griffin]

Simfan, we need an amendment

The Third Constitution and our Official Seal referred to it as "The People's Region of the Pacific"... And Wolfentoad created that sigil...

Like the Imperial Dominion of the South?

Precisely, which was something I personally fought for more than one year to change (along with this hideous flag, which finally did get changed)! And something should never be defended in this game using the rationale that Wolfentoad, of all people, helped usher it in.

It's crazy how less than three months ago, the Federalists had a +6 registration advantage over Labor.

RIP FEDERALISTS

[Adam Griffin]

Well my count's off by one...

[Adam Griffin]

Yours too, huh?  I must have made a mistake somewhere, but I think its fixed now.

I had Labor at 50 with Napoleon, but maybe I missed someone.

[Adam Griffin]

I found the error- I neglected to remove wolverine22 from the list.  You were right, there are 50 Labor.


Fixing............

Edit: all fixed.

Fantastic!

But, I'm also showing 46 (including Maistre, until he's banned) Federalists and 14 others.

Full-size

[Adam Griffin]

This is terrible news, but obviously real life comes first. I sincerely hope everything goes better for you.

Perhaps when I reupload it. I have to add TPP Chairs, too.
