Pacific Legislature Official Thread

[Antonio the Sixth]

Aye

[bgwah]

Shouldn't the amendment specify who will officially be responsible for elections if not the Lt. Governor?

In practice I've noticed the Governor usually ends up doing so, but if it's a problem I'll tack on a clarification to another amendment at some later date.

[RI]

Aye.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Now, is anyone gonna explain how to log in to the Wiki?

You need to PM Dave to get wiki priveleges, if you haven't done so already.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Does anyone have a list of elected officials for the Pacific since 2008?  I'm kinda stumped on this one...

Update:  Just spent the night updating all the missing articles on the Statute.  I also found one intriguing Law that I don't think has been repealed.

Ugh... I requested an access to the wiki like 4 times before he finally responded.

So don't be overoptymistic

I already got in.  That's why there are no more invalid links on the Pacific Statute Article.

abstain

abstain

Seriously?  You don't want me to have more work?

[Oakvale]

Unless I'm much mistaken, that's a week, so voting on this amendment - the 8th Amendment to the Pacific Constitution, to be precise, is concluded.

The amendment requires a two-thirds majority to pass, it has:

6 ayes,
1 abstention,

The proposed amendment has passed, becomes part of the regional Constitution.

Anybody know how to edit the Pacific Citizens List table?  Unlike the other regions, ours has been added in through some other page.  Also, does anyone know how to edit the little widget on the bottom with all the links to the various Pacific Articles?

[Oakvale]

Rest assured that although I have randomly registered in the wilds of Alaska, it's really a moot point since I'm presumably living where my offices are, our capital of San Francisco, as opposed to my "home" state.

I wish I could help, but I'm frankly useless at all matters wiki.

I'd suggest looking at the FAQs for Wikipedia, maybe? I don't know.

For the little "widget" at the bottom of Pacific pages, it is at Template:Pacific. To add it on a page, type {{Pacific}}.

For the voter list, it is in the Template:voter list pacific.
The list in itself is made by templates, one for each voters, following the format Template:Voter XXX.
Like Template:Voter Alcon or Template:Voter MaxQue.

There is probably a way to do a normal table instead of that silly mess. I could look that if you ask me (or just copy another region list and change names).

Thanks!  But do you know how to edit the template itself?  I mean I could just bypass everything by making it simpler but where's the fun in that?

[Oakvale]

Oh, look, another random Constitutional amendment. Yes, I'm aware we tried this before, back in the mists, of time, but there's a few key differences this time around which should make the position worthwhile - if nothing else, hopefully some entertaining constitutional crises will occur.

BTW, this my current version of the bill, but I'm not married to it - I'm more than willing to tweak it to make it more acceptable if this version fails to pass.

And, naturally, I stick with my promise to introduce a ton of blatantly illegal bills if this position is created, in an effort to create some activity in this place.

EDIT: Oh yeah, uh, voting's open now and will continue for a week.

[Oakvale]

Stunningly, I'll vote Aye.

[Oakvale]

The hotbed of activity that this vote has been () has convinced me it's probably good idea to assemble some kind of list of active Pacific voters I/we can PM whenever something actually happens.

It also strengthens the case for an elected legislature, I think.

Oh, and voting is still open if anyone wants to vote for the hell of it. I mean, it would be nice if it passed with 100% of the vote, but when there's only one vote that's not so impressive.

I understand though, that this thread isn't the most active around, so it makes sense that people generally overlook it. We need a regional board.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Aye.

[bgwah]

I don't think there's really any need for change here. There isn't a lot for the regional officials to do already and creating a third position seems like a move in the wrong direction to me. I'm going to vote nay for now.

Rest assured I'll introduce a blatantly unconstitutional bill every day if the post is created.

But seriously, we can always get rid of the position in a few months if it ends up a disastrous failure, so it shouldn't be a problem either way.

[Ebowed]

Nay

[Marokai Backbeat]

Aye.

My justification is: Why not?

[Oakvale]

Aye.

That's my justification for literally everything I ever do as Governor.
