How will your ignorance of the non-voting bloc affect the non-voting bloc's turnout at the polls?

seems legit

The Noble Thatcherites sent the following telegram to all WA members:

This is now at vote.

Makes me want to dig through some old IRC logs of mine back when he hung out in #capitalistparadise

Just going to reaffirm my earlier vote and comments as they still apply fully to the proposal.

I suppose we'll let the voters decide :P

Thank you both :)

Sorry for not replying until now. I got sidetracked by Mall :lol: In order to answer your question, we need to establish what Gross Misconduct is. It is defined in Chapter 1 of the Legal Code of the North Pacific: The Oath which the Speaker takes upon taking office is as follows: Simply...

A request for review would most likely be sufficient, and that would be all I would seek initially. If the situation were to change for the worse or if new facts came to light, criminal prosecution would not be off the table. Absolutely. The great risk with a rogue delegate could (depending on...

Yes, I can cope while under pressure. I learned pretty quickly how to deal with pressure and uncomfortable situations while delegate of a large, founderless UCR. There was always a threat (albeit small) of invasion, as well as a lot of international animosity because of one of our region...

I'll second it as well. I'm quite entertained by this.

Good luck on the election, James :)

Good luck on the election, Deropia :)

Good luck on the election, Goy :)

I'd respond that now we're just splitting hairs, getting into the weeds, or any other folksy saying that means something similar.

I would say you're probably correct that the only position less important than the AG is possibly the Deputy AG.

Goy is a Deputy in the AG's office, so your logic is faulty ;) (<3 u Goy)

I can't make that kind of promise. I would have to evaluate two important factors: do I believe I can maintain the activity necessary for the position, and do I believe I am performing adequately. If either question is no, I would not. If both are yes, then I would, in all likelihood run again...

The Standing Procedures outline that once a motion to vote has been made and seconded, the Speaker must schedule a vote. Their refusal constitutes Gross Misconduct, which is covered in the Penal Code: I would go to the Court with the evidence and laws relevant to the case requesting immediate...

Unfortunately for Thatcher, I'm against on principle. I wouldn't vote for a repeal right now (or probably ever) no matter how well-written it is.

1. That would be a pretty opened-and-closed type of case, if I chose to pursue it in court. I try to mediate first in minor squabbles like that as it usually leaves both parties happier than if it were to be litigated in court. If it's plain that s/he was doing it maliciously, I would consider...

IRL, my father is an attorney, so I grew up with a much better knowledge of (US) law than most people would. But that's a totally cop-out answer. It isn't an actual qualification. I haven't had much experience with the judicial system in NS. About the extent of my interaction has been 1) being...

There's no way to prepare for those occasions properly, really. The best any of us can do is ensure there is an ample number of deputies of diverse enough backgrounds so that there is never a case where everybody in the AG's office must recuse themselves for conflicts of interest and also to...

Thanks for the questions. Sorry, it took a while to reply. I still have family over from Thanksgiving so I didn't have time to sit down and focus long enough to answer these until now. :) There are two general circumstances where it would be appropriate to use my standing. The first is when...

Howdy folks, Dras here. I may be a recent arrival to TNP, but I've been around NS for quite a while. I don't have terribly much experience in Judicial branch positions, having mainly served in Executive branch positions, but I still know a decent amount of law. If you have any questions (and...

I relent. I accept my nomination.

Nation in The North Pacific: North Pacific Drasnia Ministry you are interested in joining: Ministry of Culture

Against. This is a purely internal matter and the restrictions are far too tough as to effectively ban nearly all fracking in many nations. This isn't even close to Wetland Protection Protocol in terms of reasonability or anything.
