Quick, someone here carefully explain to me in your own words what Amendment 6 does.

Then explain why you voted Nay, other than to hop on the bandwagon.

I see no real need to vote for the amendment.  It makes things easier for the SoFA, I imagine, and it only takes a few minutes to include what state you are from in your signature.

[Ebowed]

I see no real need to vote for the amendment.

I see no reason to vote against it!

It makes things easier for the SoFA

What the amendment sought to fix has nothing to do with the SoFA's job.

it only takes a few minutes to include what state you are from in your signature.

So if I change my avatar to another state and don't put South Carolina in my signature, I shouldn't be serving as President because I'm violating the Constitution.

No.  We removed the part of the Constitution that made all voters have to go by this requirement because it was invalidating people's votes for a silly reason last year.  But I guess when it comes to doing the same thing for office holders, groupthink mentality matters more.

1. That's a really nasty tone that you take there.
2. I can only speak for myself, but I didn't even see how other people voted before I voted.
3. I, again, can't speak for everyone, but I answered your question about how I felt about the amendment.  I am sorry if I offended you with my ignorance about the game (SoFA), but I don't have the time to look over everything that has ever passed in Atlasia.
4. If anyone on the forum doesn't have room to speak about groupthink, it's you, Ebowed.  It astounds me that because you have such a high status in Atlasia, no one has critisized you for becoming a staunch libertarian in a matter of only a few months.

Don't get rude with me, and I won't get rude with you.

With due respect, the voting booth is neither the time nor the place for asking questions of this kind. I'm quite sure that the good citizens of the Southeast are more than capable of making a decision without any question of 'jumping on the bandwagon'. And that's all I'm saying on the subject

I've had roughly the same ideology since I joined the forum, with only changes of opinion on various single issues along the way.  (Here, check one of my first posts on the forum.)  You act as if people are brainwashed into libertarianism and it's the most popular ideology among active posters on the forum.

I'd like you to also back up that I'm a "staunch" libertarian, particularly on economic issues.  I still sport a Democratic avatar for a reason, you know.

Not quite.  When I arrived you we're barely libertarian leaning, I think, somewhat in the mold that Ian himself is.

[Colin]

Ebowed does it seriously matter what they vote? None of these amendments actually does anything serious or anything that would affect Atlasia in any meaningful way. Don't get bent out of shape about it. Its a vote on whether officers should desplay their avatars.

Doesn't matter if anyone votes no since it really doesn't matter.

[Reaganfan]

Ok folks, voting has been over for a few days now. Let's stop this fighting and move onto important matters facing the nation, alright?

Like counting the votes?

[Frodo]

Is anyone going to count the votes and close this voting booth, or do I have to do it?
