    [GA - Failed] On The Health And Financial Well-being Of Workers

    This is terribly written. In essence, the proposal would provide for paid leave in certain circumstances. The maximum duration of the leave is "one-eigth [sic] of all expected work periods within the typical fiscal period", i.e. about 6.5 weeks a year. Leave is provided in cases: (1) The...

    [Complete][SC - Passed] Liberate KAISERREICH

    By voting in favour, you’re encouraging more such resolutions. The only appropriate response is to shoot it down for the harm that they cause.

    [Complete][SC - Passed] Liberate KAISERREICH

    If and when the Kreich founder CTEs, we can discuss the appropriateness of invading Nazi/fascist regions. For now, more likely than not, they’re just being given free publicity.

    [Complete][SC - Passed] Liberate KAISERREICH

    Being featured on the WA page, for literally thousands of people to see seems like a bad idea to me. RL Nazi groups would beg for exposure to this many people - particularly among a politically-active segment such as NS players. Why are we giving it to them for free?

    [Complete][SC - Passed] Liberate KAISERREICH

    As someone who is not a TNP citizen, my opinion on matters related to the game is not as relevant. However, this proposal touches on issues far removed from the game, and deserves a strong response. Anyone who is not a total asshole would agree that the existence of spaces, rooted in NS, where...

    Statement on Imkihca

    I'm going to be frank here. Not because I have a particular stake in this situation, but because I think the reactions to TNP's admins' actions take our gameplay community as a whole two steps back. The first step back concerns the immediate safety of potential victims of harassment. When a...

    Request for Review

    I would like to offer brief comments, relating to the quoted passages above from the brief of the Deputy Attorney-General, that will hopefully be of assistance to the Court. I am unlikely to be fully across the entire procedural history of this case and the related ones by the time submissions...

    [Complete][SC, Passed] Commend Candlewhisper Archive

    I'd be in favour regardless of this work, but this exposes a serious SC problem. We're commending/condemning OOC work in IC terms because of Rule 4, and now we're commending stuff that without even acknowledging it under Rule 1. Sorry, this fight seems lost for the moment, but I need this rant...

    Request for Review: Ability of the Speaker to change voting duration during voting periods

    Your honours (and may it please the Court), The question for the Court in this case is whether the Speaker has the power to extend a vote once it had begun. The relevant provisions are extracted in the other briefs, but will also be quoted in this brief where necessary. Speaker Owenstacey...

    Spillover from the Poolside

    The claim that Nazism is a genus of socialism is ahistorical and has little basis in fact. Nothing in Nazi ideology, nor actions, supported a socialist ideology. Neither state interventions in the economy (such as production quotas), nor welfare spending, a socialist make. That the Nazi regime...

    [GA] Repeal: “Enabling The Disabled In Academia” [Complete]

    I'm voting against. The repeal proposal is littered with errors, and drafting it without a replacement is just laziness. The worst periods in the GA were just hyper-pedantic repeals, and going back to those days is not desirable.

    [GA] Enabling The Disabled In Academia [Complete]

    Incorporating into the process doesn't mean incorporating anything imaginable into the standard training. I'm not sure where you'd be able to get a teaching degree IRL at least without some training wrt students with disabilities.

    [GA] Enabling The Disabled In Academia [Complete]

    Generally in favour. The following is the controversial 'costly' mandates: I don't think it's as open-ended as claimed. It doesn't require every possible student to be accommodated in every possible school. I'm fairly uncomfortable with the title. The suggestion that people with disabilities...
