Waaaait just a minute here. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The first problem I have is that the quoted section of TNP law does NOT say "all putative candidates in any election cycle shall not endoswap with regards to the election of the Delegate or VD". It DOES say that endoswapping of this...

Let's see here.. SELL TPX 30 SELL COH 30 and after that.. BUY ZRAN 50

I tend to agree with Digitalis on the possible redundancy. Here, we're saying that only the diplomat can request a thread split. That seems to be common sense. However, I don't think that even if we enacted something like this, on some level, that it would violate diplomatic immunity. I don't...

As far as the NPO goes, I am not ashamed to admit that I have not formed a solid opinion. Most of my job comes through wading through the RA forums, and unless it comes in there (or in the public Cabinet forum, which I browse from time to time), I'm most likely going to be more ignorant of it...

Could you be more explicit? The PPP is... Ahh.. if I had a nickel for every time someone asked me that question (the first one I mean). I said last time I ran for Speaker that the participation in the RA depends on the members themselves. We can attempt to encourage participation, but...

I would agree with this, provided that the treaties that are currently deemed necessary for a full referendum (eg, a full-blown alliance) are kept that way.

I think I will dispense with any long speeches this time around. Instead I want to highlight what the RA has accomplished in this past term -- not only have we had another term of open, honest, and civil debate, but the voters in the RA have made some real progress in streamlining the...

EDITED AFTER VOTE: PROPOSAL PASSED Proposal regarding Defining Military Documents, submitted by Grosseschnauzer was voted on from Apr 12 to Apr 19. IN ACCORDANCE with new rules, this was then approved by a Cabinet majority.

After some thought, I'd like to respectfully re-submit my name for RA Speaker, which I believe I am able to do.

Although I agree that certain treaties that are more minor such as the NAP can be approved by the Cabinet only (I did vote for the original Embassy Documents legislation), I'd like to take this opportunity to re-state that the RA does have a role to play in more major treaties such as the...

I will also post a list sometime this week.

Since there have been 5 AYE's, I believe that is a majority.

I thought the agreement was that relatively "minor" agreements could be approved by the Cabinet alone, whereas formal treaties and the like needed to be approved by a referendum?

Oh, sorry.. I accidentally posted it in the "private" room instead of the "main" room. Someone can move it to the public area I guess.

This was just passed inthe RA..

This sounds interesting. Actually, what would make it MORE interesting is if your packaging arrangement was weighed and the person who managed to get it the farthest intact while using a packing arragement with the least mass would receive some nice bonus points.

The VD serves one very important purpose -- to put it bluntly, the VD is a speed bump on the highway to dictatorship for a rogue Delegate. Would you rather have a rogue Delegate with full influence banning you, or would you have a rogue Delegate use up some of that influence on banning the VD...

I think the idea is worth exploring, but one possible weakness, to build off of what Grosseschnauzer said, is the fact that a Permanent Delegate nation would mean that anyone elected to the Delegacy needs to be widely trusted. It is true that we currently only elect Delegate candidates that...

I have no doubt the esteemed Justices are on the case, but just a bump reminder :lol:

Hm, I have a question. Supposedly the influence is predicated on how long you've been in the region and how many endos you've accumulated. However, I have another nation in another region (basically my "just for fun" nation) that has the influence level of vassal. I think someone mentioned...

The "scale" that Nam talks about in his last paragraph is one of the keys to this whole thing. If the "influence loss" is so little, even by booting a truckler, for example, that it would not even slow down a rogue delegate...

I spent the last 30 minutes digesting these posts since I haven't looked into the new changes until today. It seems to me that this new "regional influence" policy cuts both ways. For example, if HoneySheep were to go on a mass banning spree, she would not be able to eject (in theory) many...

Say it isn't so!

Concur with closing the embassy, for what its worth.

I'd like to bring in a slightly different point of view. AH, I admire your intention of adding this in. I'm tempted to concur with Hers and Grosse that these clauses either 1) do not belong as an amendment to TNP 1, and/or 2) do not need to be codified. HOWEVER, I do favor greater...

In accordance with the new rules, this will be voted on first by the RA, then by the Cabinet. I'm in the lab at the moment but I will post this for a vote sometime this evening.

I'm FOR this. The UN has every right to regulate international trade, similar to how Congress in the United States has every right to regulate interstate commerce.

I'm actually going to stick my English preferences in here for a minute :lol: I believe the best wording would be "support of a majority of the Cabinet".. A majority vote can't support anything -- it is the people who are supporting it; the vote is the instrument they use.

Well done. I'm surprised only the three of us have availed ourselves of this. After all, people, it's free money!
