Scott, you have 24 hours to advocate for this. Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on September 25, 2012, 12:56:04 AM I checked the Wiki and discovered that we apparently don't have a seal for Atlasia, so I created one myself.
Feel free to rip my art skills to shreds, but I hope we can reach a consensus on how we ought to have an official seal. :P Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on September 25, 2012, 12:58:24 AM Servitude?
Shouldn't it be more ah aspirational? :P Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on September 25, 2012, 08:56:29 AM Sorry to butt in, but that's pretty ugly. :P

Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on September 25, 2012, 01:42:41 PM Servitude? Shouldn't it be more ah aspirational? :P What don't you find aspirational about servitude? Sorry to butt in, but that's pretty ugly. :P I, um... am kind of at a loss here... :P Honesty is a good thing. I'd be willing to withdraw this thing and start over. Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on September 25, 2012, 03:32:19 PM I'm gonna introduce an amendment, but someone else needs to actually edit the seal

Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on September 25, 2012, 11:36:54 PM Service is aspirational! Servitude implies involuntary, as in slavery. :P The PeopleTM aren't slaves to the gov't, they are slaves to the The PeopleTM.

Can someone do this for him, otherwise the amendment will be difficult to process as is? Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: tmthforu94 on September 26, 2012, 12:10:23 AM I say we make this a nationwide competition, where we get a bunch of submissions, let the public vote on which one is the best, then have the Senate adopt that one.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on September 26, 2012, 12:15:18 AM ...Oh, wow, that looks pretty bad now, doesn't it?
I'm still thinking about withdrawing this for a new concept, but I'll fix the seal and include Ben's motto for now. Amendment: Quote SECTION 2. SEAL DESIGN 1. The official Seal of the Republic of Atlasia shall appear as the following: () I say we make this a nationwide competition, where we get a bunch of submissions, let the public vote on which one is the best, then have the Senate adopt that one. That's another good idea. Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on September 26, 2012, 12:18:39 AM Even worse because you had servitude below a black face. :P You wouldn't be trying to tell us something covertly, by doing that, would you? ;)
Ben, do you accept Scott's text as representing the intent of your desired amendment? (basically will you support his amendment and drop your own? :P) Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on September 26, 2012, 12:20:48 AM Even worse because you had servitude below a black face. :P You wouldn't be trying to tell us something covertly, by doing that, would you? ;) Not at all.

On second thought, I'm going to withdraw my amendment and replace the language of the bill entirely. Amendment: Quote A BILL To establish an official seal for the Republic of Atlasia Be it enacted by the Senate of the Republic of Atlasia assembled. SECTION 1. TITLE This legislation may be cited as the ‘Atlasian Seal Act of 2012.’ SECTION 2. CONTEST FOR NEW SEAL DESIGN The people of Atlasia will have the opportunity to submit designs for a new seal until October 15th, 2012. On October 15th, a poll shall open in the Atlas Fantasy Elections board for which submissions may be voted on by the public fora period of three days. If no seal reaches a majority of the votes, a new poll will be created, and the process will continue until a new seal is selected. Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Svensson on September 26, 2012, 01:58:08 AM Well, now we've passed that unique diversion, I would be perfectly willing to back this measure in its current form. :P
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: HagridOfTheDeep on September 26, 2012, 11:59:25 AM I like this idea. I'll probably support it in its current form, but I do think STV would be a more convenient way to vote.
Just my two cents. Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Atlasian Seal Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Napoleon on September 26, 2012, 12:01:19 PM Lol

And if that's the case, we shouldn't force voters to choose between a bunch of crappy options.
