[Meeker]

Curse you JCP

[Jake]

lol.

[Хahar 🤔]

lol.

Tell me that wasn't everything you accuse me of.

[TomC]

Yeah, that was the easy part. Now get her to take the oath.

[Хahar 🤔]

Yeah, that was the easy part. Now get her to take the oath.

I, (insert name), do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of (insert office) and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia, so help me Dave.

I have a feeling she'll forget to fill in the blanks.

[Joe Republic]

I have a feeling she'll forget to fill in the blanks.

She isn't an idiot, you know.

[Хahar 🤔]

I have a feeling she'll forget to fill in the blanks.

She isn't an idiot, you know.

What if she's high again?

[TomC]

Just in case it's not clear; I'm not calling Everett an idiot, but I ask this question with cause. Her inactivity has been an issue in the past that caused questions of representation and quorum count:

She didn't even vote for starters.

[Хahar 🤔]

She's already a Senator. The swearing-in is a meaningless ceremony.

It's not meaningless. Without swearing in, you cannot legally execute any of your powers of office.

I see now. I was looking in the wrong article.

[Sam Spade]

If she doesn't swear in within three days, I'm motioning to expel.

[Everett]

I quit.

I barely even post here anymore. I shall not attempt to hide the fact that I was asked to run for this recently vacated seat. (Party politics, I guess.) Unfortunately, I had multiple midterms last week, and I had virtually no Internet access this weekend because I wanted to spend my free time with someone very special to me instead of posting on an Internet forum. I probably won't have much Internet access for the next two weeks either. Admittedly my lack of Internet access probably should have deterred me from running for an imaginary senate seat, but I am not responsible for how Pacific voters operate. Maybe you think that I should apologise for attempting to maintain a fulfilling life offline instead of posting thirty-five times a day on an Internet forum. I shall not.

The fact that this sort of hilarious inanity keeps happening should prompt you to question the intriguing voting habits of the Pacific Region instead of pointing accusatory fingers at me. But since it's obviously easier to just complain about me, I'll just leave. Someone else can handle the blame.

So I'm not very special to you!?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I think people were mostly doing that already. As indeed they should. Though for the outsider, you'll understand the two issues are somewhat linked.

Not true, but I guess it doesn't matter.

In accordance with God's Plan for Atlasia, written by hand by his one prophet Dave (may God bless and have mercy upon his soul), I bring forth from the ancient writings this passage of divine wisdom:

A participant in the magical fairyland of Atlas, once established, is hitherto prohibited from having a life (that is, doings of things in "reality" as established by His Excellency Me (God)) outside of the Atlas.

Let he who can read hear these words aloud within his head and establish their meaning and comprehend it. It is illegal (layman's translation: not legal) for anyone to establish for themselves actions in reality that require comprehension and the active movement of oneself through space and time to participate in relations with others besides oneself.

How dare you defy God's holy plan for your invisible Senate non-career! Think of how this choice will affect every aspect of your "real" life. Soon you will stop taking care of your fake children and you'll neglect to eat food that does not technically exist. You must be stopped
