five through seven need to be condensed more. I might just remove five altogether.

I contacted some, but the rest will just have to wait apprehensively until later. I am tired. Tongue

Also, if I determine you have hindered this process at some point, involvement may or may not be optional. Evil

Uh-oh...

If nothing else you will serve the critical function as successor to Oakvale in the critical role he played in the last one, that of the poor victim I lampoon constantly. Whether or not it ascends from such pathetic levels is entirely up to you, man.

And since you will be reading every post word for word, you have every incentive to be productive don't you? Evil

It is a shame he is a justice now. Perhaps you should have appointed yourself. Tongue

Slot Reform
   - Removing the Amendment exclusion from Slots 4 and 5
   -  Slot five will be freed of "in-order" requirements and transfered over to the VP's administration (only the first half requires OSPR change).
   - Loosening the Anti-Clogging Rule for the VP's slots, but keeping it overall.

Also I am considering making either slot 4 or 6 another PPT slot and also reordering the slots somewhat so the VP's and PPT's are grouped together. This will leave 5-5 with three three of the first five retaining the "In order of introduction" requirement (instead of five).

Anyway amendment coming soon...

Statement on the Past Four Days -

I included a warning to both the President and the Vice President last Friday that there was the possibility that I would lose my internet access for a three to five day period between Monday and Friday. I had planned on posting a Leave of Absence and a second pm to Matt detailing various actions to take to keep things going; however, those efficient bastard suits pre-empted me and thus I was not able to get back on a second time Monday morning, before our phone service was terminated.

As many of you know, I have a dial-up internet connection and thus without a landline phone service, the internet is innaccessible. This situation was a lingering result of what happened back in September, in that with the seperation that occured, the bills were no longer being sent here anymore and the first one we received was in the form of an e-mail attachment on the sixth, warning of a ninth termination date. The resources were not present to pay such a large bill until the today and this also meant that transporation was not available to go to friend's house and use their internet either.

Frankly my preference would have been to tell them to take their poor service and stick it sideways, considering the difficulties they are giving us. Roll Eyes However that could have taken until next week to get back online and that would have been too long. We got important business to attend to andn ot just Atlasian stuff. Tongue 

On a side note, I am glad Mechaman's absence was short and that he is back. I do know  from experience what it is like to be accidentally "elminated" by a moderator on this forum.

Statement on the Senate Elections and Some Other Stuff -

I wish to congratulate Senator Tmthforu94, Mideast Assemblyman shua and X, and NE Legislators Goldwater and Talleyrand on their elections to the Senate this past weekend. I look forward to working with each and everyone of you on the important issues facing the country, in the next Senate. I also want to congratulate Flo and Al on running two incredible campaigns for the Senate.

I have already sent my first message to all of the incoming Senators containing a link to my Senate Administration Guidebook, which contains links in turn to the OSPR and Constitution and summarises the processes of the Senate. I also included the date and time that the new Senate starts on and when they should be available to post their oaths in the swearing-in thread.

In this Senate and the previous we have been plagued and slowed down by inactive At-Large Senators. We have been hampered by an inability to remove them under the rules as they stand. We appreciate that one Senator has resigned, but it is most displeasing that it was done in such a way as to prevent a replacement. Now finally, it has been made possible to move to expell another Senator, but we have been met with considerable disregard for the institution and the people who elected the Senator to represent them back in August. I hear often from certain folks that this is a game and that it shouldn't be taken seriously. Yes, this is a game and just because you have been playing it forever, doesn't give you the right to ruin the game for everyone.

I was new to this place once too and nothing angered me more then old legends who got a free pass by virtue of their past glory to run wild and treat it as a place to dive into for a temporary thrill at the expense of those trying to have fun by actually playing it. If you feeled called to destroy it, then I think I have an idea just who is taking this place too seriously and who isn't.

Some Important Matters
At this time we are waiting on the administration to get the confirmation hearings going on the appointment the said administration has just made, as well as to wrap up the PPT election.

Once that is done, I will resume manipulating the anti-clogging rule so as to keep four TNF bills on the floor at all times and fill all the slots that have been emptied since the the new Senate began. Any non-TNF bill sponsor sponsor should be prepared for the bills to hit the floor at any point courtesy of the aforementioned clogging rule and now the more numerous then before specialty slots.

I look forward to working with the administration to help with coordinating an ensuring the efficient use of their own slots to get the bills on the floor that they desire. Of course it would be helpful if one could come on here and not face the latest scandal around something that isn't even going to occur until the end of next month practically. Tongue You would think it was tomorrow or something. Just so you know the first person who asks me anything about whether or not I am running for anything prior to the last week of this month, will go to that dungeon that X thinks I have, but I really don't even though I actually do.

The annoying thing is that several of those bills are ones that have already failed.

Well to be fair, Talleyrand & Mr. X are more likely to show up to vote than Napoleon and Xahar Tongue

     Perhaps so, but I nevertheless get the sense that the Senate composition is overall less friendly to his agenda now.

Which speaks volumes about how little the Federalists care about governing or passing anything of substance, of course.

     As opposed to how much you care about wasting the Senate's time with the same failed bills.

Time to condense this down and shorten final vote times.

About time we recognized this. And once final votes are over, redrafts and veto overrides shouldn't occupy slots for subsequent bills. WE have been proceeding as if this was the case anyone for a long time under many PPTs so we might as well revise the adherence of slots to end with the Final Votes.
