The phrasing of "group" instead of "organization" includes sharing with *non-organized* groups and is, therefore, desirable. For example, espionage includes leaking information from the Cabinet to the public, or from the Court to a private backroom unofficial server. Your suggestion would...

I am concerned about espionage, not fraud. I do not think it is appropriate that you revealed information from the AG's private office, and it is particularly alarming that it appears you did so in order to make Siwale look bad in a legislative discussion, by attacking his activity and...

Are you disappointed not to be running against the esteemed speaker of the house, El Fiji Grande?

If you received a credible threat stating that TNP would be couped unless a particular individual were denied citizenship, and supposing that you had no reason to consider that individual a security risk, what would be the first five things you would do in response?

How do you think that serving as Vice Delegate has changed your perspective on TNP security? Do you think differently about some things than you once would have?

Dinoium, in the RA discussion about the AGORA act, I was very alarmed to see you sharing classified information from the Attorney General's office in an attempt to discredit Siwale. Did you have the permission of the Attorney General to share that information? If not, can you explain why you...

There are some who say that running for delegate while your Security Council application is still under vote indicates a lack of commitment to TNP security. How would you respond, and within how many days can we expect El Coupo Grande?

I have an idea for the authors of this bill to consider: How about adding RA confirmation to prosecutors' appointments? The downside to this is that it would add a delay before the person could begin overseeing the criminal case they were appointed to manage. However, criminal cases tend to...

So, after more time spent arguing, it looks like we are at something of an impasse. Correct me if I am wrong: Eluvatar believes we have to either answer whether Pallaith violated ABC's rights, or turn around and reject the r4r outright. He believe we cannot legitimately answer the other issues...

I am not yet sold on this bill. The role of the AG is to defend the people of TNP, and to represent the region as a whole in judicial matters. Their status as an elected office is important in imparting the legitimacy to do so. However, I do understand the concerns that led to this bill being...

This thread is for two purposes. One, because emojis are not currently appearing in the post editor, which makes it hard to use them! And I just added a bunch of new ones so that is really a shame. So, this contains a master list that can be referenced until the post editor is fixed (SOON (tm)...

Here's another one! I call this one "TNP go bragh":

I... :unsure:

I will get us started with a first entry. Don't worry - I'm not the one who will be picking the finalists. :P I call it "r3nnish beige".

Happy Flag Day, everybody! Well, a little belatedly... it was technically yesterday. :P But that's okay - every day is Flag Day in our hearts. In case you missed yesterday's discord announcement, the first part of Flag Day is our 2nd annual "Fly the Flag Everywhere" challenge, in which you are...

idk about letting a rogue speaker of the house onto the security council. who knows what robertsian nonsense he might try to pull. :shock: :horror:

Aye

Bootsie, any update on your thoughts after the convo Elu and I had on discord a bit ago?

That's possible, but I think any reasonable judicial review would provide reasonable opportunity for the delegate to demonstrate why they think that nation is associated with the banned player. For example, if a nation named "New BannedNation" moves into the region, the delegate has two avenues...

I think this bill makes a lot of sense. It gives the delegate the discretion to apply a ban in-game when they feel that the reasons behind a forum ban extend there, but also does not require that they do so. So, someone like ryasta who has been deemed to be unsafe to the community could be...

:banned:

To add, after reviewing prior rulings, I also do not think we can reasonably overturn precedent about reviewing court actions. As nobody has asked that we review this ruling, and as the constitutional section it draws upon has not changed, I believe we are obligated to accept it as given...

Sorry, but I can't agree with that. I do not believe we are able to answer the question as posed - namely, whether pallaith's actions, specifically, were legal. There's too much information we would need to make that determination, and it's information best suited to discovery in a criminal...

Oh, also - the court template for requests for review allows for the review of actions by government officials. That could still be in error but we'd be changing a pretty long-held view of what the court can do. Elu, was there any discussion about an intent to alter the Court's power with that...

Hm. There are some other court rulings that are germane: There are some others but I'm tired of quoting. To summarize, though, the Court has long believed that it has the power to review the actions of government officials and has taken several reviews on such questions and made...

Yikes.

The exact legal status of treaties has never been clearly defined to be honest. If a treaty conflicted with something in the legal code, it is not clear which one would have to yield. A broader treaty reform bill might make sense, given that.

I take your point that we can't control the future. Regardless, I think this case differs significantly from the previous one, and in ways that mean we cannot actually rule on the legality. With GM, nobody's motivation or knowledge about the other party was in question. We did not need to...

Oh yeah, that would make sense. :w00t:

I'm ok with letting a minister decide that on a case by case basis. Sure, an official representative of TNP is one thing, but someone helping out with planning an event in the culture ministry doesn't need to be a resident. Madjack helped out with RP and culture for several years while he was...
