I question why this information needs to be released publicly, it could be disclosed privately.. yet nobody in the cabinet has been able to respond to this without looking dumbstruck. You have yet to respond to my question, McMasterdonia.. saying you "agree" with Cabinet does not explain your...

The 2012 NS World Fair is officially open! Please join us on our forum from now and onward to Nov. 13 to celebrate the diversity and unity of NationStates. The Opening Ceremonies has also be presented to the Lecture Hall, so you'll want to check that out too. - Unibot. THE 2012 WORLD FAIR 2012!

Well, in one case censorship was being used to prevent someone from abusing another person and in another case censorship has been used to nullify the votes of "non-compliant" voters -- reminds me of Republicans arguing for tougher paperwork checks on voters to try to catch the people less...

I think Grosse's protest is an admirable demonstration of a love for the freedom of expression.

His only apparent example is decorum and inactivity, but that power of directing the ministers to him adds a lot more power than just playing nanny -- as it is, the decorum and inactivity police is supposed to be the legislature not the grand executive. Largely, the legislature couldn't be...

Sorry, two sets of questions. Thank you Blue Wolf. With your impeccable pedantry I'm surprised you could ever have misread Section Eleven of the Bill of Rights.

Two final questions, your answers are fairly satisfactory although you skipped over responding to my point that your policy on the WA infringed on multi-citizen voters by unnecessarily feeding regionalist's information to stigmatize them with; you blatantly said that you liked this, but I would...

Seems Tim has the most experience leading regions, organizing successful militaries and growing regions culturally and politically, out of the candidates, but also a lot of enthusiasm. This makes him an encouraging character in my eyes. I also like that you've picked up on the Autotelegram...

What I'm interested in is why Mcmasterdonia has left out military policy... I see culture policy, foreign policy and executive policy... but where's military policy. He's the current Minister of Defense, surely he has something to say on what the military would be doing under him. Military...

I meant the delegate race, not A.G.. you seem like a fine candidate for both. I see Tim is running now, this could have more promise. I'll have to read over his platform.

Can someone who isn't (A) insane, (B) overtly duplicitous, (C) moderately authoritarian, (D) dedicated to a thoroughly vacuous platform please rise to run for delegate. At this point its become a race between that Minister of Defense who is involved with most of our the scandals and wants the...

Seems to me you're advocating for a stronger executive; Eluvatar often ran his cabinets with a primus inter pares (First Among Equals) approach, looking for consensus and sitting in the Co5 as "one of them". With the ability to hold people "accountable" (whereas before it was the public and the...

Thank you. They must think with much more though.

So is your plan to give the position to Mcmasterdonia for life?

What's the situation? "Raiding" is random and arbitrary invading.. so that would be, every situation? Unless you meant politically-justified invading. In which case, what do you have in mind. Enemies of the state? Nazis? You know.. I've never met the person I voted for to be Prime Minister of...

It's possible for an invasion to occur to "top up" a couper's endorsements. However, the method you've described is highly unlikely due to rules against muliting -- it was a somewhat viable method before a recent decision by the NS Admins to remove an HTML exploit. The North Pacific could have...

I analyzed average compositions of Ant and Hax's post against our couper and found Ant to have a more similar Average Sentence Length, Word Length and Obscurity, Lexical Density and Fog Index result. Overall Frak tended to be wordier, use more punctuation and less readable than Ant. Likewise...

He knows that pictures can be used to grab IPs. So I'm thinking Frak or Ant; his rant on the official forum looks a lot like Ant or Frak. http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=11510313#p11510313

I have gotten word that your region would like a venue in the NS World Fair. Here are the relevant instructions: You will be allowed two days to set up your region’s venues before the event begins on Nov. 10. This means the forum will be semi-public for organizers to create threads for their...

Yes a Party Chair is a good idea. And alright there's no need for deputies I guess.

I would like to posit the idea of the following party cabinet: - A Party Leader - A Deputy Party Leader - A House Leader - A Deputy House Leader - Party Whip The Party Leader is our delegate-hopeful, House Leader is supposed to have the largest presence in the RA for the party, Party Whip is...

Well, let's have a list of candidates, what system do we want to use to vote and how long of a vote.

I think we should have a primary.

We should probably give Nastic an invite.

Sure, its just a complicated idea I was trying to express; promulgation is essentially the publicity of law as it comes into force that gives it its legitimacy, so that others can't claim ignorance of the law.

History is important, I love The North Pacific's history and I agree that the many nations in The North Pacific region who we don't consider citizens still deserve the rights under the Bill of Rights -- that's the clearest interpretation of the Bill of Rights that I can see, I wouldn't try to...

Law is promulgated, so we know we must follow it, word for word. The vague intentions of the law besides what can be read is not promulgated, so how is it legitimate for us to expect citizens to follow that. It depends on the extent of policy; a policy that appears inconsistent and going...

I don't believe that is true law in the traditional sense. Law is a civilianization over what would otherwise be anarchy, it gives power to civilians regardless of their capabilities as endo-tarters and propagandists. You could say that "natural law" in the state of nature in RL, dictates I have...

Yes, I'm online most of the day, I'm a student and have a lot of free time. A dahm good question. I suppose my style would be fairly literal; I don't want to apply anything to texts that aren't necessarily written in the text because it's the job of the Regional Assembly to assert those...

Sure. I did not appeal The South Pacific v. Sedgistan, after being convinced by the former Minister of Justice that was the proper reading of the law. This meant a political enemy of mine (who had arranged my impeachment in the FRA) could not be charged for treason, for having couped the region...
