Done.

First proposed by Haor Chall:

I'd support this as well

I have a couple of sliiight problems.. Regarding the public recusal.. If Admin X engages in a debate, say, in the RA or wherever, and others push that discussion out of hand so that someone MUST close that thread, should the Admin that was engaging in the debate simply do nothing and wait for...

We're in formal discussion.. As soon as Hers requests a vote, then I'll post it.

I don't think anyone will get #1 without looking it up.. Can we make the chemistry questions harder? These easy ones negate any significant advantage I'd have in that area

I'm tempted to say Georgia as well... At the very least, I'm guessing it is one of the ex-Soviet republics. For a different guess... Estonia?

Excellent summary, and thanks for providing an answer to the questions.

Dear God.. I managed to win just by losing the least... I wouldn't blame ourselves, Byard.. It's been a rocky period for many stocks.

I personally have always favored term limits, but I'm not sure whether it will remove what FEC and Roman are talking about -- specifically, the "ruling class" tendency.. Term limits are good in principle to keep people from dominating certain offices, but it won't necessarily mean more people...

If you have no more additions, I'll post the version I see at the beginning of the topic.

I think Hers' idea is reasonable, and although I share Grosse's concerns, that's almost a function of the job of Justice -- a job where one has to be careful whom one appoints, and a job where the voters will only tolerate specific, known people to take the office. That, far from being a bad...

AYE

He might have ALMOST succeeded in convincing me if not for that last sentence. AGAINST, with vehemence.

This from Hersfold, regarding the Article V:

Noted.

You can call the "notification" on cultural differences, but I'm not going to buy any argument where anyone tries to call "leaving the lights on 24/7" as cultural differences. The reason I call that close to torture is that it IS a form of biological/mental torture -- altering a body's circadian...

I actually had the idea of posting this a couple weeks ago, but I never got around to doing it and the other "Justice" thread started me thinking on it again. I read in article in the LA Times from a month or two ago about Japan's death row, which I found more than a little disturbing. I'm not...

Well, criminals forfeit their right to freedom clearly, and inherent in that is a loss of some amount of dignity -- the dignity to go where you please (within the bounds of the law), and do what you please. Having said that, I don't think public humiliation is the answer -- as a matter of...

I, wizardofoz01, do hereby solemnly swear that during my duly appointed term as Speaker of the Regional Assembly, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution...

I can see Grosse's solution working (2 terms out of any given 3).

I fail to see how the changes affect raiders. The additions have some merit -- you're adding in a clause saying that no one can use TNP as a front for their own activities, but I don't think raiders do this to begin with.

The main reason I'm hearing from Fedele and Grosse is that the MoCE may one day provide usefulness... Not to be sarcastic, but whether that one day is tomorrow or 2 years from now remains to be seen. The University idea, as I recall, was first proposed many months ago. I realize that work is...

I think it can be safely removed -- it doesn't do much in its current state. Therefore, unless there's a concensus to modify this clause to say that no one is able to endoswap during the election period... The other issues (like whether we need to have requirements for candidates) are things...

I'm not sure if someone's proposed this before, but... I think we should merge the MoAE and MoCE positions. There's not much practical difference between the two -- the MoAE is responsible for OOC stuff, but a combined position (I'll call it Minister of Culture) could do the OOC stuff in...

I don't think we should talk too much about the NS 1.9 changes here. We've speculated on that in another thread, and while it's very relevant to this discussion, arguing about possible outcomes of these changes can lead us off topic. I'm not sure I agree with this quoted portion. Is there...

I realize this is the Court's forum, and therefore I ask for understanding from Byard if I post anything out of line. I understand DD's concern, but at the same time Hers' comments indicate to me that this issue may cause ramifications: namely, the issue of what actually constitutes...

The text also says "With regards to" the election of D/VD. If I was reading that before reading the arguments in this thread, I would be confused as to what that meant. I mean, clearly people cannot endoswap so as to INTERFERE with the election of D/VD. That would include outright seizure of the...
