X People's Speaker NC Yankee

X Oakvale

Tremendous to be here!

You know the sad part is we got along better when you were a liberal. I miss those days, I really do.

braaaaaainns

I think this is the first time since October 2011 I have chaired a Convention with you as a member. Been a long time. Gad to have such a legendary poster finally in our midst.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Speaker NC Yankee walks to the podium to address the convention


Wow! What a crowd!!!

Raucous applause

You know they said that long time ago, we were dead, but I don't think this crowd ever got the memo.

Crowd goes crazy!

In fact (scans the crowd), I think some of those people are here tonight.

Okay okay, lets settle down!

If you read the Federalist Party Platform, you note that the beginning there is a paragraph length mission statement. Despite its age, I think most every portion of its statement stands the test of time and most important a commitment to our Party's timeless values. Chief among them is stated as the final sentence of that paragraph, " The Federalist Party stands for an Atlasia that welcomes participants, both new and old, and values their contributions to game."

I think our party most embodies that sentiment. We have long stood that Atlasia is a game that should be open to all and shouldn't be kept the exclusive privilege of a few. We have welcomed new players into the game, we have defended them from the false accusations of sockery and demeaning insults, stuff that is frankly beneath this game in my opinion. We praised their initiative and encouraged them to take that first step while others criticized and condemned them

As you look out across this crowd you see our desire to uphold that value. Whether it is old people returning for the first time in years, whether it is new people who have joined the game just recently, or whether it is people who have been consistent players, our Party Welcomes You, Our Party Thanks You for Your Participation and Our Party Wants this to be Your Party Too!

If you believe in a Constitution that guards against both tyranny and anarchy; if you believe in an interactive, engaging and welcoming game; if you believe in solving problems, actually solving problems with regionally based and market oriented reforms; if you believe in a responsible foreign policy that keeps its people safe and only goes to war as a last resort; and finally if you want to work to protect the unborn and reduce the number of abortions; THEN THIS IS THE PARTY FOR YOU! We might not agree on every last point, we might not agree on every strategy, but in general we are far stronger and far more effective together then we ever could be separately. You find no greater amount of respect for differing opinions then you do in this party, and you will find no party more open to advancement based on merit than the Federalist Party and its inclusive leadership culture. I have never ran this party as a dictatorship, I have never desired to be alone at the top, and I have always sought and desired a team working together with me to advance our party. Anyone who says otherwise either doesn't know or is outright lying to you.

It is with the utmost pleasure, in the name of all those Federalists both new and old, in name of those Federalists be they conservative, moderate, libertarian, populist or some combination of the four, in the name of that welcoming attitude and principle of openness to all who wist to participate, I declare this, The Federalist Party's October 2017 Convention, OPEN!!! And I welcome you to Jacksonville!!!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A toast to unity!

I will drink to that!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So I am sure you guys are wanting to see what the itinerary is.

Opens: September 15th, 2017
Delegate Sign In: September 15th - September 17th
Presidential Primary Speeches: September 18th - September  21st
Presidential Primary: September 22nd - 24th


I encourage both Presidential and both the Vice Presidential candidates to make speeches during that September 18th - September 21st period. Supporting speeches will be allowed but I encourage everyone to please be respectful towards your fellow party members on the Convention floor. Passion is to be expected, but in all things, balance is a virtue.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

X Poirot

why would delegtaes have to sign in by Sept 17, and this was just announced and the primary Sept 22 when this is the October convention and the election will be a full month away. Shouldn't the october convention be in October, maybe have sign in allowed before October and have the primary very early October.


I ask the Chair to justify the emergency situation that warrants to deviate from the regular schedule in the bylaws. I am not aware of an emergency.

The late declaration/nomination of Federalist candidates for House in August played a significant role in the Federalist Party losing the majority. Therefore, it is my goal to have the Presidential ticket, and House slate nominated by Oct 1st.

Right now Truman has an unimpeded path to start working the general electorate, which gives him a significant advantage. The later we decide on a nominee, the deeper the hole we will have to climb back from.

As for the sign in, that is not a deadline. It is statement of ongoing business that is occurring. People will still be able to sign in after that, but after that date, we will start moving forward with important business.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

X Mumph

(Refuses to realize he isn't a delegate, is escorted out by security)

You are a delegate.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I have been hearing a lot of concerns expressed to me over the past several days about the recent surge of people into the Federalist Party. It is my desire to welcome them and encourage them to stay. That said, I don't think there is anything fair about people joining minutes before the vote, voting and then leaving. I think the Federalists deserve better than that. I am not here to make any judgement about anyone in particular or their reasoning or point fingers at one side or the other.

That being said while all those officially registered as Federalists in the registration thread, as of 12:00 AM EST, September 18th, will be eligible to vote in the Presidential primary and continue to sign in as has been occurring, anyone who registers as a Federalist after that time will be prohibited from voting in the Presidential Primary.

At this stage, we will be moving on to speeches by the candidates for President and Vice President, and by anyone who wishes to give speeches for either of the candidates. This will last through the 21st.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Whoever is offering positions for votes, you need to stop and you know who you are. If you don't stop, I will leak said exchanges and I will motion for your expulsion. You know who you are and you need to stop.

You know, I recall a scene from an episode of Family Guy where there is this formal dinner and everyone is seat and someone is going "about how this such a wonderful occasion and it would be absolutely terrible if someone were wreck this proper celebration"

Then Quagmire rips off his clothes and starts dancing naked on the table.

Sometimes I am left to feel just as surprised and aghast as that person who was expressing rave reviews of the dinner only to have it ruined right in front of him.

Of course this is what I should suspect. This was kind of crap that was rampant in the Federalist Party in 2013, came roaring back when I lost my internet in August 2014 and only subsided when most of the active people left after it was proclaimed "dead" in March 2015. It saddens me to see this kind of corrupt bulls@%t going on in this party and I tell you, this crap and the people who engage in it, might find themselves unwelcomed...

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Whoever is offering positions for votes, you need to stop and you know who you are. If you don't stop, I will leak said exchanges and I will motion for your expulsion. You know who you are and you need to stop.

Who is doing that?

Probably Louis XV, usually him behind all the scandalous intrigue and such.


At least that is what Frederick told me.

Well, I will be honest, and I'm saying that genuinely, I have never understood the high level of tolerance from federalists with this kind of this scrap.

Why simply not punishing him?

You French and your public executions!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

And he was right and you should have taken his advice.


I didn't make any rules to target BK, I made a rule to prevent an influx of socialists and Laborites coming into the party to decide our party's nominee for us.

I have long made it my policy that the Federalist Party, is nobody's bitch. And I plan to keep it that way.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I made a decision before anyone announced based off the August election and the late rush to find candidates for House, and the impact that had on eventually costing us the election, that we needed to have all our Federal candidates, declared and nominated by Oct 1st, so as to be able to focus all our energies on the General Election. This only became doubly so once a primary started and the Labor one melted away because it meant that Truman had free ride of the general electorate for upwards of a month if we waited until October to start the convention. Does anyone really want Truman to have a months worth of free lunch?

I didn't think so.

Then it occurred to me that in July the Portland Convention selected Jacksonville as its location. A place just ravaged by storms. I contacted the authorities and asked for their best judgment between supporting recovery and the distraction of a convention and offered to minimize the demands on their resources and personnel. They agreed and hence this post:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

However, since then the authorities have changed their tune and want us to pack up as soon as possible. It had been my hope that with an earlier convention, we could have a successful convention where all manners are addressed and do speeches and so forth, stuff we often have to forgo at our conventions for lack of time. So in order to fullfill that, we may have to move to Boston the runner up to continue with business at hand.

Lastly on the manner of voting, several people expressed concerns about the run up in our numbers leading up to the primary, which I brushed off at the time. Some pushed for me to move the primary up even further and I resisted that as well. But finally I was informed from a "source" that Labor was planning to infiltrate the convention. In light of the previous advice it would have been incompetence of the highest order to ignore the risk regardless of how accurate I hold it (probably less than 50% chance of being accurate) and therefore I set the 18th as the cut off for registration as a Federalist to vote in the primary. I welcome people to continue to join and participate in the Party and I apologize for this inconvenience, but I as I said, it has been my policy that the Federalists not be anybody's bitch. Not Labor's, not anybody's.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am now getting conflicting stories, so I will investigate. If it ends up that this was all a misunderstanding, it still would be less of a waste of time than Poirot's ramblings, so oh well I guess.

Sometimes I decide to speak publicly when I disagree with some action, decision or opinion. The reaction from the ex-presidents has often be to belittle me. I'm told I don't understand, I don't pay attention etc. when it's clearly not the case. Since the post reset I have tried to be an engaged citizen following what happens in Nyman. The highest offices should come with scrutiny. I hope other citizens are not intimidated to voice concerns or questions. Citizens participation should be encouraged. I've had a very good relationship with past federalists leaders and they treated with respeact and as an ally but some now show me no respect.

I do respect you Poirot and I enjoyed working with you in 2015 on a number of issues including opposition to the replacement of At-Large seats with districts as recall you being vocally against that. I am also pretty sure I voted for you over myself in that At-Large election for Senate. I also respect your dedication to principles and institutions following strictly too the rules, but sometimes you there needs to be a level of practicality. Oakvale himself always you to attack me for being too legalistic and too in favor of complexity at the expense of the game. Yet you are far more rigid than I on such matters and yes I do respect that but there has to be reasonable limits. 

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Also I want to say marvelous words by the Vice President. He is definitely one of the most experienced hands and knows difficulties both keeping Congress afloat and serving an executive who deals with tough challenges, having been himself the Emperor of the IDS for a good number of years and facing all sorts of challenges.

There is no one more qualified than him to be Vice President, especially now that we have moved into an era where the period of inactive VP's are over and the expectation now is that VPs will have to perform to keep Congress functioning, as an integral part of that system. Previously, a VP would just sit idle, excluded by poorly constructed rules and organization between the two chambers slowly collapsed. Ever since March though, the rules have been changed and an active VP is no longer a desirable feature of a ticket, it is an indispensable necessity.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So glad to welcomed the esteemed former Speaker, Senator and NE LT Governor, Clark to the convention.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

To the Atlasian Federalist Party


After some testing and research  it has been determined by Atlasia CIA officials that Russian aligned group Free the People successfully hacked Federalist Party electronic voting machines and we're able to change the layout of the ballot. At this time no motive has been uncovered but after attempts to hack voting systems before the midterm election; it is recommended by the FBI that regions, the Federal government follow the lead of France and Germany to minimize hacking attempts and protect the integrity of the results. We will be in further contact with the President and Party chairperson when more details are made available.

Thanks
GM 1184AZ

I think the biggest scandal here is who gave us electronic voting machines and how did he get in here?

You think we gonna waste precious party money on voting machines? I need that for my hair!

We gonna vote on thrice recycled confetti paper.

[ 2 ] Fmr. Justice Oakvale (F-NY)/Fmr. Representative Potus2036 (F-WV)

What is this, what even is this?

Averroes, explain this to me. And don't run to Havana this time. I just want a pleasant sociable talk, I promise I won't bite.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It is with great sorrow and remorse than I must announce that my activity will be greatly reduced as a result of an apartment fire.

As someone who has nearly become homeless twice in the last 3 years, I wish you the best of luck as well, Potus. 'Real life always has to come first before a game.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Although Oakvale has withdrawn the primary vote lasts 72 hours and there are still 26 hours remaining almost, in which the Feds will have a chance to cast their vote.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay so before this primary got started, my plan had been for a Federal and then a Regional primary, but with the competitive primary for President, I figured it would be best to push back the House one to occur with the Regional one and still desiring that to be concluded by Oct 1st, that leaves September 29-31st.

As of right now Haslam, Rfayette, LouisvilleThunder and myself are declared for House, Spark for Lincoln Governor and Dfwlibertylover for Lincoln Assembly and I think ReaganClinton maybe as well declared for that but I have to double check.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Although Oakvale has withdrawn the primary vote lasts 72 hours and there are still 26 hours remaining almost, in which the Feds will have a chance to cast their vote.

Bringing this to the next page. Also I will still be counting Rpryor's vote since he was a Federalist when he cast it.
