Requiring citizens to have posted three times won't make any difference to retention rates. It's extra work and extra faff and extra bureaucracy for very little gain.

I really don't believe that RA review of court rulings would be a good thing. The court is not there to make popular decisions, it's there to make the ones that (in our case) they were elected to make. The recent ruling in the UK about brexit demonstrates, like many other cases, that even RL...

I'm just going to drop a note to let you know that I am going to have a look at this (I promise!) and not to give up while you wait. I just want to give it the time that it deserves.

From my lowly position, Present means "I am here and am not expressing a view" and Abstain means "I want the delegate to abstain". It's the only meaning that makes any sense. I can of course be overruled but that's my interpretation.

Agreed. It accepts the apparent reasonableness but deals with the proposals problem's well.

Looks like it's in #magicality-grand-plaza. I agree with the decision to repeal. My reasoning in two-fold - the fact that this condemnation is dire and should not get to stay on the books solely because it's not possible to replace it. I also feel that we shouldn't "reward" DEN with a...

Thank you. I hope to do you proud :) :tnp:

Can I have deputy minister (WAA) masking please :)

I, Abbey Anumia, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Deputy Minister of World Assembly Affairs, 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...

In light of the new information, my tenuous for has become an Against. The natives don't want this, they won't be coming back to try and rebuild the region.

Hrmmm. In principle I'm For. But it's not exactly a shining example of good resolution writing and there's no debate thread. But that's not enough for me to condemn this region to destruction - they don't seem to have done anything particularly egregious to "deserve" this. For. EDIT: Vote...

I think it works now.

Present! I've been semi involved in WA things on and off for years. Tried drafting a resolution etc. Yay for Pallaith!

Wait, that's not Alan, it's Steve. STEVE STEVE STEVE

Summed up, he's an active defender who's done some stuff but has also been less-than-exemplary in some situations and in particular with TNP. Against - he might have achieved some things, but his attitude seems less than commendable.

^^ I hate clauses like this because the people enforcing this law are under an oath of office and if they manipulated the law out of all recognition or bent it to get out of doing something they'd be in trouble anyway. Replacing it with something a bit more substantive would be a good idea - a...

For example: The nation nominated for commendation is lauded for its diplomatic prowess. The resolution goes on to refer to it as an "irreplaceable keystone of the world" and cite their work to repair relations between 10000 Islands and The Rejected Realms. He's lauded for multiple positions...

I think McMaster's post in the debate thread hits the nail on the head quite well. It seems...a little... petty? to deny this based just on that one interaction with us. It appears to me that his success in various regions is being highly overstated and his attitude towards those who disagree...

Nation in The North Pacific: BouncyAbbeyKitty Ministry you are interested in joining: World Assembly Affairs (Optional) Previous experience in this area of government: Bits and pieces of experience in WA, general interest for a long time. I can't promise my activity level after term starts in...

Zachster: Please take the advice I've given you in my PMs and take a moment to learn how things work. You can ask me if you're unsure about anything. And try to take people's advice, they are trying to help (mostly).

I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of BouncyAbbeyKitty, pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war...

Erro all, This is a blog I originally started a year and a half ago. It was attacked and hacked to high heavens and completely destroyed (all old posts were either buried on my dropbox or found on waybackmachine etc). I've spent the last few days restoring and improving it and I have a blog...

Thanks for the welcomes :) Cronaal, you look to have joined around when I was semi-active, so you've probably seen me floating around :)

Herro all, It's been a while. I've had a long couple of years with a little poking my head in, and I'm still not going to be very active, at least for a couple of months. But hoping to be around for a while :)

This! If you want a simple exercise you can do to prove how silly asking for a "why" if one is not offered - think about your favourite colour and try to think of the reasons why you like it. Some people might be able to but most it'll be "just because". I think the new designs are very...

The thing is is that the comparison doesn't work. Anybody in the UK is protected at least by the fundamental rights we've inherited from the European Convention on Human Rights. You might not have all the entitlements and rights of a British Citizen but at a fundamental level you're still...

Aaaaaand that is why the BoR would need amending. Not because technically it has to be but because a citizen without any rights under the BoR distinctly bothers me as an idea. We'd be accepting that someone can be a part of our community as a citizen without offering them any protection under...

If we could do this without massively extending the rights available under the BoR I would possibly consider running with it. The fact that this change would require a significant BoR amendment makes me question whether it is a good idea. We could end up in a tangle of consequences and I'm not...
