Hooray, triple-post. Made more revisions. Now, it's not that much longer than Roman's proposal. REVISION NOTES - moved electoral procedures to Procedural Guidelines - moved a bunch of ministerial qualifications to Procedural Guidelines P.S. Seriously, guys, help me cut stuff out. My head's...

Sure. In Article I, we can stipulate some old laws that can carry over. The University would be a great example. (However, under my system, some labels would have to be changed. But no biggie.

Right now, I'm trying to decide which bits can be shuffled over to this document I'm creating called "Procedural Guidelines" right now. Basically, I think that we should have some procedures to start off with so that our first order of business isn't trying to figure out the procedures for...

Ughhhhh... Still long. Will cut more/transfer more to procedural guidelines later. EDIT: A few more revisions (in the version above) before I go to bed. Unnnngh. Still long.

Latest update, yay? REVISION NOTES - split procedure from Constitution - Procedural Guidelines has full constitutional authority - Procedural Guidelines and Constitution are amended in different ways - added inactivity clause and procedures to non-Ministerial offices - generalized registration...

All in all, the most agreeable coup we've had in a while. EM lost a few influence points, but people are generally OK. P.S. Dali, if you still read this, I (at least) would like to see you back in the RA. If not now, then sometime in the future. Don't stay away forever. ;)

Tygaland doesn't overpunctuate. :P Tygaland > Poltsamaa, IMO

Goodbye, Dali. Way to deprive people of the first feeder crisis since the influence system was implemented. I'm sure that many around the NS world are disappointed to have to drop their guns. I know. I feel for them. So much. Stay in touch. ;)

Pinned for funny. Have at ye!

The funny thing is that a huge percentage of the big names in feeders were originally userites. Yourself included, Glen. :P

*brings the popcorn machine into this room* Pinned for fun and the fact that someone finally wrote something. Also, because JAL is sexy. Just play (decently) nicely, kids.

Tell me what's going on right now. All I know is that Ivan came back and took over the forums. Meanwhile, Moo has control over the WFE and removed the forums from the WFE. Anyone know any more?

Okay, I have a few minutes. Let's take a look at what both sides can do practically. Dalimbar is the Delegate, with the power to eject and ban people. This is Dalimbar's bargaining chip. He can kick out long term members of the community and wipe out many months/years of hard work. However, his...

Fail for lack of extra-large font.

Hello there, Talon. Hopefully, I will be able to answer some of your questions. First of all, why did Dali go rogue? Supposedly, he was tired of seeing an ineffective, unresponsive government weakened by a lack of centralized control and apathetic officers. He further claims the existence of a...

MO

Indeed. Possibly with the chance of a permanent ban.

Bump for ideas. I think GBM's questionnaire would be especially helpful in figuring out what type of reform we'd like to see implemented.

GBM, what I'm saying is that there is no way (well, sorta) to keep the Delegate from going rogue. Therefore, we have to aim to induce the Delegate from not going rogue. Job satisfaction is definitely subjective, but let's not kid ourselves and think that any form of government can keep anyone...

So in that case, every form of government, regardless of whatever degree of power given to the Delegate, has the same risk of the Delegate going rogue? So if there is no way to prevent it, the only method of avoiding it is to grant the Delegate enough power so as to keep him satisfied?

... Why would you set up the government to allow the Cabinet to decide whether or not the Delegate stays or goes? Checks and balances must still be preserved. In any governmental structure worth its salt, a legislative or judicial body will have the power to remove a Delegate and Cabinet...

I agree with Dark. And be sure to drain off the grease before adding the sauce. Let's have another staple of kids who don't know how to cook: Eggs! Plain scrambled eggs: 1) Decide how many eggs you want to eat. 2) Crack them into a large (<--IMPORTANT) bowl. 3) Take a fork and beat the crap...

Hmmm. I'm sure that most of them did not expect Dalimbar to institute rule by fiat in his new government. Giving the Delegate a larger role in government does not mean that the Delegate should be the government. It's worth another try. I'll poke around some regions in a little bit.

Now. I'm straight. But hot damn would I do Mary McDonnell (aka Laura Roslin in BSG). Bad picture of her, but the glasses set it off. Nothing says sexy like a 40-something teacher with librarian glasses: More to come soon.

The best course of action right now is to go to regions relatively friendly to us and inform them of this development. Emphasize that Dalimbar is forcing us into a corner, has reneged on our cease-fire (of a sort), and is pushing the region down the path to open war. While he has remained quiet...

No. JAL is sexy. Go do your job. :P

Thank you for your answer. Although my contact with you has been limited, they have all been positive. Your enthusiasm in the OoG, especially, and your moderation here has left me with a good impression. I think that you'd make a great public servant, and I wish you the best of luck in your...

Hello, and welcome to the race. Personally, I think "OMGMO4MOC" (part of my campaign last time) was wittier (albeit more annoying) than "Me for Ess-Cee", but I am a bit biased. I was wondering your views on the perfect amount of power that should be delegated to the, um, delegate. How much...

Also, might I suggest not being tempted to register on those jairo boards? This is our home. A WFE can't take that from us so quickly. Let's see him tout it.
