Can't even tell from the text whether a it's a condemngratulation or a serious condemn

I agree that this is not the right proposal to commend TRR. This is exactly because it doesn't adequately reflect why TRR is a valid commendation candidate. You could argue for or against it, but the commendation should at least lay out the best case, which it doesn't do here. Having said...

More foreign envoy maskings needed, thanks :)

LCH6, Wicheye, vashnis, Puczovska, Xyre and Zazumo are accepted to Foreign Affairs :D

Both approved :)

Essentially something not being done in accordance with the law (i.e. unlawfully). The sort of thing that would lead to the Court's intervention, for example.

COE: How about this as a compromise. Keep the expanded body and the power to overrule decisions of the supervising ECs, but only if there is a legal defect (or serious departure from precedent?) in the original decision. Leave interpretation of that up to the full EC, maybe, so that no one...

I disagree with splitting the A-G and Justice dates. Those who are interested in one office are also quite likely to be interested in another. Essentially, it leaves someone who wants to move from A-G to the Court (or vice versa)with two options: Either leave their office early, or take a break...

Accepted! Welcome to Foreign Affairs :) I've sent you a TG about the opportunities in the Department!

This thread is to help us manage ambassador postings. If you are available to take up a posting, or need to leave your posting, please post here. If there is a certain type of region that interests you in specific, let us know. You can see the latest ambassador postings in the Embassy List...

Might be worthwhile to mention the Mentor Program for FA

The North Pacific Diplomatic Corps [hr]Representing our great region abroad Members of the Diplomatic Corps, I am delighted to announce the introduction of a reinvigorated Mentor Program. Serving as an ambassador is already one of the great ways to learn the ropes of gameplay, and now we're...

omg, a Kiwi.

I, Guy, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Election Commissioner, 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 and Legal Code in a legal...

Your honours, as much as I think that the Court's intent is clear, I believe that a formal order regarding the two previous sets of appointments of ECs, as well as the halted election, is required. Assuming that the Court has reached the conclusion that both appointments had no legal effect...

Approved, welcome to the team :)

I adopt the above as my brief in response. Further, it is submitted that should the Court hold that an Election Commissioner who has not taken their oath is acting in contravention of the Legal Code, the correct response is a suit against that person in order to compel them to take the oath...

BOB HAPPY BDAY :D

Quickly, your honours, on the matter of the briefings in reply: The above briefs largely assume that invalidation of an election is the natural consequence of any legal defect in its running. This is seriously contested. It is submitted that the law does not permit, let alone require...

It could indefinitely delay it, so long as the filibuster is kept up.

I don't see the need to deny a vote on issues following debate. The requirements for formal debate are sufficient for that. I also think that the high post requirement would lead to the debate thread making a bit of a mockery of the RA. We are very serious people, after all. :P

I would suggest keeping the thread open to collect votes, but not declaring the result. I think that would minimise the "potential harm" in both cases. I haven't spoken to Tomb, but I would submit to such an order. EDIT: To clarify I would implement the Court's decision but I am in no position...

foreign envoy mask

Approved :)

With the greatest respect, I would ask your honour to reconsider. There is less than a day (indeed, fewer than 21 hours) left in the vote. Should the Court uphold the validity of this election, we would be left with an 80%+ conducted vote. The disruption should we keep the vote open yet it is...

Your honours, What we have here from the learned Attorney-General is a scared argument. It is the type of argument ran by a person who has stepped on the landmine, and is trying to run away as fast as possible. On the one hand, the Attorney-General has the chutzpah to argue that Election...

Your honours, I intend to submit a legal brief that is complete, but I require some time to go over it. It should be posted within 24 hours.

The trial runs have concluded, but I have exciting announcements as to how we'll be proceeding with them permanently. I would like to thank again all eight dedicated team members: Brend0gs, abc, Frozentophat, and Icebergspaz to TEP; Aragnatim, Cerian Quilor, sagehen, and Darcania to TWP. They...

My response in Discord: Examples are often offered in legislation. The example re: Area 51 and Area 52 exactly conforms with my intent. The Discord example for why a person doesn't have access (hasn't joined) is an absurd interpretation. I don't see limiting access to the courts on this issue...

New draft, adding the stuff in bold (Clause 3(c) and the last sentence in a clause 2), designed to make clear the temporary nature of an emergency injunction, and ensuring that the publisher is heard during the (non-emergency) proceedings.
