And looks like we're continuing. Joy :eyeroll:
Okay... That, of itself, is not actually contradicting what I said. The estimate I made of 500 is actually amazingly high; I'm pretty sure that if we added it up, the amount of nations we're talking about is well below that. I am well aware of the...
I'd try to argue that I'm not attempting to hold it up, but if others are finding it this muddled, then I see no reason for me to continue it when it can only cause further problems. I'm not arguing anything really new anyway, and this has begun to pull an oroboros.
Unless GM or Haor wish to...
First, to deal with said second post.
I have both bolded and color-coded the portions that deal also with invasions. Note that it is outright stated as being for that purpose, as well as for adding additional checks against the delegate.
I'll also note that I highlighted the part about...
Oh, yay, we play the part where we simply copy and paste what we've already said.
My reply:
Keep in mind the main issue with this is preventative; the idea is to build a group that helps deter invasions. Your comment about it being used against rogue delegates in the past is something I don't...
Haor, Kor and a couple others made the same argument I did, only in a shorter form, in previous pages. In fact, if you stop and look, my argument about ejecting people to maintain power is actually a lengthened form of what Kor posted on page 3.
Secondly, note that I never contested the...
... It appears that my editting the previous post to account for tone was a mistake. Note the time of your edit and the time of my post; there is no time for me to have accounted for your editting and write all of that in two minutes, especially since my internet is not that fast.
GM, has it...
GM, by all rights, I should now call you a liar. I had not before; you could have been speaking of things that were not true, while at the same time not speaking falsely through your belief they were true. There's also the possibility the fantastical claims were true, which is why I put in that...
Actually, I was busy "discussing" the lack of reliable information with a certain source. I do not like to be made a fool of by someone who is just guessing when it comes time to rely upon them for expertise.
I admit I was wrong and withdraw the challenge. Now, I need to wait on a certain...
Haor, whether or not it's regional is not in dispute. In fact, in my own argument about it, I noted it dissipating when invaders enter a new region.
What is in dispute is whether or not this idea will actually work, whether or not the influence dissipates instantly, and whether or not the...
Prove it. You've made some pretty fantastical claims in that post and I don't believe you. I could always claim to be one of the developers or someone who's been around a long time and fully tested the system but has been pretending ignorance to avoid the past, but that doesn't make my claims...
You'll have to excuse me if I do not find this to be particularly true.
One of the things I stopped and did before posting here was investigate a bit more into the mechanics behind how influence works. One of the interesting things I note is that influence is on a declining scale for an...
I note that my objection is based in part upon the past experience of Al Homa, which was helpfully added to this thread at the bottom of page 3 (utilizing standard forum posts per page).
So, yes, my objection does rely upon past experience. No rule of debate says that the past experience I rely...
I have kept quiet since yesterday, in part due to trying to catch up on various things, and was waiting to see the result of Grosseschnauzer's challenge. Not to mention my own.
After some searching, what I've discovered is that while my innitial concern was simply tossed aside as unlikely...
I see nothing wrong with this. When the other's ready to go up for vote, I'll go ahead and toss both up. Easier on my housekeeping as well ^^
Edit: I am going ahead and bringing this up for vote later tonight. I want to make sure I don't have a repeat of being behind several hours or not...
The membership requirements of the previous:
The membership requirements for the current:
I fail to see how the requirements for this version are less strict.
Also, I'll note that Tresville is not actually qualified to sit on the Security Counsel. Influence ranking of Minnow, which under...
Considering that endorsements are a requirement to get the necessary influence in any reasonable amount of time, I will have to say I agree this would increase endotarting.
Plus, I do not understand why both the amendment and the law have to list influence requirements.
And, finally, I'll...
I do have one question. This one has been bugging me a bit as I've looked over the drafts.
This creates a possible situation where the Vice Delegate may end up getting impeached due to reasons related to the Security Counsel. Is this an acceptable effect of this legislation?
I just want to...
Thankies ^^
I hope to do well at this job. And I promise I will not go mad with power until I have at least conquered half of Ear... Wait, wrong speech.
*shuffles cards*
I will do my best at this job, and I will make it a point to do it as correctly as I can. I make no promises that I will...
You know, I've always wanted to see zombie ballerinas. Nothing like someone doing the Nutcracker Suite while doing the stereotypical zombie call for brains.
