anyone not voting for the guy who did the most to work to establish this new game is nothing more than an idiot hack.

And voting based off of Atlasia drama and issues is obviously idiotic and has no place here.

Nothing against Blair himself but there's no reason why the guy who wrote the rules and started this shouldn't at least be our 1st elected Speaker...

I suppose that makes sense, but (assuming you're referring to me) this isn't "drama" or "issues," it's a matter of him accusing me of being a cheater and (since I had previously denied the claims multiple times) liar. And he did it several times. I'm not being petty, and it has nothing to do with ideology, I just can't in good conscience support someone who treats people like that. I also think it's telling that his supporters are calling people who disagree "idiotic." Please, let's keep this civil.

Holding a grudge against someone on an online political forum seems pretty petty tbh

That's the thing, it's not a grudge. It's one of those "character issues" things. I have trouble entrusting any amount of authority to someone who would repetitively call people socks, just how many would have trouble voting for president with shaky personal lives (see: Herman Cain 2012).

If it was a grudge, yeah, that would totally be petty. But it isn't. It's also petty to accuse people of being socks, and petty to call people "idiotic" because they voted for a different person as speaker, but I digress...

Anyway, let's get this vote on and get to more important things. Right now TNF is up 5-2, with 13 yet to vote.

Assuming this forum doesn't go to sh**t entirely, I can assume JerryArkansas's seat if need be due to his resignation.

[Donerail]

Blair (just supporting a fellow party member - nothing against TNF)

[Talleyrand]

Blair (just supporting a fellow party member - nothing against TNF)

Normally I'd do this, but this time I have to go with TNF since he's the one who has set up much of the game so far and has been the most active participant in it.

1. TNF
2. Blair

Yeah this country is probably going to be mainly Leftist, however it would be fun too see the struggling of people to make it more to the right. Sort of a flip of what happened from 1780s to about the 1850s IOTL.

Though, I could be horribly wrong lol

When I first joined I was called a sock and Wolfentoad repeatedly. But, you know, I got over it because I'm not a petty child.

With a majority of the vote, I have been elected Speaker of the Provisional Parliament. I'd like to thank all of you who voted for me and thank Blair for giving me a run for my money.

I hereby call the Provisional Parliament to order.

We will now begin debating the worldbuilding proposals presented by Game Moderator Foucaulf. I will introduce the following bill for debate, which shall begin immediately and last for a period of twenty-four (24) hours, as per the rules of order -

Personally, I think that the proposal for a South American-based game, as opposed to the same old song and dance with a US-based map, is a great idea. It gives us the opportunity to try something new out, it makes more logical sense given our political inclinations as a forum, and it provides us with new challenges. I strongly support the adoption of this bill.
