Since I'm going to be a coupist/pirate now...

... I am resigning my position as a Senator.

[CheeseWhiz]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  Why?  Why?  Why?  Come on, at least stay until your term is done so we won't have to hold a special election!  Why are all the great people resigning?!?!

[minionofmidas]

Logical consequence of what he posted before (and assuming a real attack on Iran, good thing he resigned. Thank you.)
But of course, the real question is, why all of this? Why not just drop from the Presidential race, serve out your term, and then play at being a pirate?

Oh, good thing we already started to debate... I am standing in this by-election.

[minionofmidas]

Correction - actually there's no byelection. (Silly me for not thinking of it earlier) Jas gets to appoint somebody.

You should have just waited until February as CheeseWhiz said, but oh well.

I participate in other boards and stuff now, and I also feel that I am unwilling to put the time and effort into actual reforms, and often write shoddy bills. If I survive the current insurrection in Iran and possibly North Korea, Syria, Zimbabwe, etc... I still plan on proposing Midwest propositions and operating my remaining businesses (automotive and hospitality, I sold off mining/manufacturing and other sectors to finance my airshows /pro-democracy coups).
