Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'd love to see such an act introduced:

Atlasian Day of Happines Act.

The anniversary of a day when Kyle Mercado, 19 aka Alexander Hamilton, a former poster originally of Bakersfield, California, a student of Redlands University, who's a confirmed sociopath, lifeless even for an internet standards and presumably, due to lack of time, a virgin, has been banned in a shame for sockpuppeting, trolling and other juvenile stuff, shall be hereby declared an Atlasian Day of Happiness.

Anyone know the exact date?

All I remember it's January 2010. Must check out.

EDIT: I believe January 13, 2010

The IDS has already declared it a holiday, Aaron Burr Day

We need to fellow the IDS wisdom!

I have another, Hamilton-free, suggestion.

We're all stuck with our usernames, but some posters are already known under other, than the originally registered, like Fritz (JLD), Sewer Socialist (SpaceCommunistMutant) etc.

Why not to introduce an act that would allow us to officially change our principal name for Atlasia purpouses (as NiK tried to adopt "Willkie")?

You can do that already in the Registration thread.

"Name change?"

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I wish to uurge Senators to reject this date, and reject acting like a bunch of high school bullies

Meh, I think of it more as commemorating the expulsion of a bully.

I never viewed Hammy as a bully; and I see people who I consider bigger troublemakers who are still active in Atlasia.

A would-be bully then. The fact that there are troublemakers just as bad still active (which I agree with you fully) is no reason to minimize Hammy's altogether negative (and continuing) effect on the forum.

This is debatable at best.

Really?

Teddy, could you elaborate?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Dear Senators,

In a light of the recent affair with, as I believe improper, Mideast ballot, I'd like to strongly suggest to you to pass a constitutional amendment like this (instead of just federal bill) and them give Regions to ratify


Thirty Amendment to the Second Constitution

1. All candidates on federal or regional ballots shall appear under their registered usernames, as listed by the Bureau of Census
2. However, if the candidate is known under other name than registered (with census providing an appropriate note, like "a.k.a. xxx"), then the candidate shall appear under this name on the any federal or regional ballot
3. Officeholders responsible for maintaining a voting booth shall follow these instructions.


So (sorry Fritz for using your example, but that's good example ) is a candidate is registered as JLD, but is known and is noted by RG as "Fritz", therefore the candidate must appear on ballot as "Fritz", not "JLD (Fritz)" or simply "JLD".

Thank you for your time

Kalwejt
Attorney General

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

On a behalf of the Administration, it would be awesome if one of you, Senators, would introduce this project

Foreign Policy Reform Act of 2010

1. Game Moderator shall be required to cover at least one foreign policy-related event per two weeks, that would allow the President and Secretary of External Affairs to deal with
2. Secretary of External Affairs shall be required to maintain official paper on Forum Elections board, he shall use as a regular way to inform the general public about foreign policy subjects he is dealing with
3. A position of Atlasian Ambassador to the GTO shall be created within Department of External Affairs.
4. An Ambassador to the GTO shall serve as Atlasian Representative in GTO and Secretary principal assistant; Ambassador shall be nominated by President on the recommendation of Secretary of External Affairs and be a subject of a Senate confirmation vote

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Methinks it would be freaking awesome if some of you introduce this:

Thanks Andrew Resolution

The Senate is hereby thanking Honorable AndrewCT, on an occasion of his retirement, for his longtime, distinguished service for Atlasia on various positions, especially as the Senator of the Republic.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

People should really use swearing thread

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Looks like nothing I propose is ever going to have any support. So what's the point of my service here?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Yankee anb Tony made good points (thanks to this system I'm more senior than Rowan ), so I hereby withdraw this proposal.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Ask The Power Act

1. The President is required to create an official, permanent questioning thread
2. Game Moderator is required to stick this topic
3. Any Senator or Regional Governor shall be allowed to submitt an official question here for President, Vice President, Game Moderator or any cabinet members, regarding Government business
4. President, Vice President, Game Moderator or Cabinet member, to whom question was addressed, shall be required to provide an official answer within three days

We could also just sticky the President's official thread, as we already have answered several questions there. At the rate we're going, the entire first page of the Election Board will be stickied boards before we know it!

Also, if you do stick with this, I'd strongly recommend adding a clause at the end excusing the three day timeline if the cabinet-member has posted a LOA.

Tmthforu, I don't doubt your wiligness to answer questions, but I want to set a nice precedent for all your successors as well

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

How about this?

Ask The Power Act

1. Moderator General shall be required to stick current official White House thread
2. Any Senator or Regional Governor shall be allowed to submitt an official question here for President, Vice President or any cabinet members, regarding Government business
3. President, Vice President or Cabinet member, to whom question was addressed, shall be required to provide an official answer within three days, barring leave of absence before

GM's don't have moderator rights. Do you mean the Moderator General?

Why can only Senator's and Regional Governor's submit questions? Why can't anyone?

Also, the GM is a cabinet position, so you wouldn't need to put it separately in Section 3.

1. Yes, that's my bad.

2. Practicality. I figured it's better to limit it now to key officials, because otherwise you'd have to answer all over and all over again.

3. I'll fix it.

A nice start.

My concern is how effective and useful this will be, tbh. I have a real concern that Governor's and Senator's will actually take the time to ask questions.

Well, we can at least give it a chance.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

can't... stand... your... anger...

*on the way to the Cayman Islands*

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Sorry, Cayman Islands, you'll have to wait

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Why PMing me? I never missed a damn vote!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Don't PM me. PM lazy bastards, not me: a model Senator who never missed a vote. Don't, or I'll sue you for harassment.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm going to be blunt. Repealing of the Privacy Protection Act was sensless. Law in Atlasia is directly contradicting forum rules.

Beside, I'm opposing violating or private conversations as a principle.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Thank you. I was wondering why some were confused. Ill think of a more appropriate title.

You know, something like "Repeal of the Repeal"

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Greetings, Senators,


It is my great privilege to inform the legislative branch that Midwest is no longer a part of Atlasia. Therefore, any attempts by anyone to sit here as "Midwest Senator" are illegal.


Sincerely,
Kalwejt
Lord Protector

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm sorry, who the hell are you?

For not showing a proper respect to the High Office, you are to report in Tyburn.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm sorry, but as it's been a while since my last Senate tenure, do things are always that slow? It's seems we're in a very slow mode.
