That is an interesting viewpoint, given you were the Delegate. :P

Nah... but Dyr Nasad again?

The current documents are more easy to find, but they should probably be linked here too: Current TNP Constitution (ratified December 2007, last amended April 2009). Current TNP Bill of Rights (ratified December 2007, last amended December 2008). Current TNP Legal Code (started December 2007...

NPD was also where the name "Regional Assembly" comes from, unless I'm mistaken. S2 originally called them Registered Voters.

To play devil's advocate, "safeguarding" is imho still reducible: We have to define what we're actually safeguarding: One of the chief purposes of the offsite-forum (as opposed to the RMB) is structured and long-term communication. The community thrives best when this offsite forum remains...

:rofl: (Whyever would you think such a thing?)

Nope, Ermarian. (This took long.) HEM?

Well, authoritarianism really wouldn't work. TNP natives are too unruly to do what they're told. :P (Also, The Pacific has the name NPO trademarked, or something.) A constitution is helpful in ensuring some consistency in what the delegate can or should do, but it should be shorter and more to...

That sounds good, yeah. An interest in and connection to International Politics - even without a heavy interventionist philosophy - keeps us more alive than constant internal bickering. A lot of the coups of the past three years were probably started out of boredom and the need to stir things up.

A group of high-influence nations is practically the greatest fail-safe against rogue delegacies. For example, right now I wouldn't have the influence to ban either Erastide (FEC) or Great Bights Mum. Since banning an equal costs about half your influence, this is unstable: You can't have an...

On one end of the extreme, there is the danger that the delegate position becomes too unattractive to hold. You can't make someone delegate in order to declare them the slave of the people. On the other end, if the delegate has too much power, it will attract people who desire to be delegate...

Hell yeah, abolishing the Constitution is at the top of my to-do list!(item two is making a new zetaboard called "The North Pacific $Noun" and item three is going on a banning spree.) :evil: I agree with Roman, Gross and Govindia. I don't see that wiping it out like that will do anything...

While New Kervoskia was delegate, the line limit on regional recruitment was lowered to two, according to the WFE. I can't find any reference to that here, so was this a decree by NK directly? Moreover, what should we enact now? Two lines are very little indeed, while 15 lines were quite a lot...

All I can remember is that this acronym stood, once upon a time, for The North Pacific Underground. :)

Not necessarily. Someone might have to represent two branches. :lol: More seriously, the regional assembly wouldn't do a bad job of serving as the main legislative body if it were easier to join. I fear that by the very rules that try to enforce activity in the RA, people may be frustrated...

This is a very excellent idea. I was deliberately cautious in wording it like that so as not to step on toes, but a real review of how we do things is probably needed rather than a few small changes. Hey, remember the days of Pixiedance? That was some interesting history. The stability that...

Fear the cows!

:rofl: You forgot the chorus of Viking Recruiters. Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam lovely SPAAAM!

He's 27 days inactive and will CTE tomorrow or the day after. Looks like a non-issue now.

:rofl: Awesome! And thanks for letting me in.

Apparently we got the Godless ranking two days in a row again. That means it has now surpassed even the "Most Influential" ranking for frequency, with 6 occurences in about 111 days. Yesterday, Ermarian was ranked 29th in the region and 1131st in the world. Today, Ermarian is ranked 29th in the...

... AGAIN? There are at least 51 different rankings all in all (I've been scraping the position of all my nations since January), but the function looks highly biased. Dates the Influence ranking got picked: 2010-04-12 2010-05-03 2010-05-07 2010-05-18 2010-05-22...

And yet again. And yes, Frejmark is back, and I'm back to 24th worldwide and 13th in the region. But in time I'll grow! 1.  Fudgetopia@ The South Pacific 2.Great Bights Mum@ The North Pacific 3.Former English Colony@ The North Pacific 4.Kitabo @ The North Pacific 5.Unterwasserseestaat@ The...

I should also get somewhat involved again. I nominate myself for a spot on the Council of Legal Oversight.

I climbed a place, world-wide. Now 12th in the region and 23rd in the world. However, the awesome part is this: 1.The North Pacific2189The Delegate of New Kervoskia 2.Europe689The United States of Alsted 3.The West Pacific2606The Chocolate Loving Paradise of Darkesia 4.The South...

Ermarian is ranked 12th in the region and 24th in the world for Most Influential. So close to the top ten. :P I haven't left the North Pacific in at least four years, other than two brief stints to Lazarus...

53rd in March 21 and 45th in March 31. I'll get that top Godless spot yet! :P

Ermarian is ranked 26th in the region and 1,278th in the world for Best Weather. Gained one spot since last month!

Ermarian is ranked 60th in the region and 2,414th in the world for Most Godforsaken. I climbed a couple of places!

Ermarian is ranked 53rd in the region and 809th in the world for Nudest. "Whee! I'm invisible!" -Elan, OotS Edit: One of my other nations, The Polaris Society, actually made it to 158th in the World.
