Just wait a few seconds and the "continue" button will light up.

COnsidering they have to be approved by the rest of the current COuncil, and that the Regional Assembly can remove them, or force them to be approved, I think that this situation is already sufficiently guarded against. That sounds like it would just create a layer of really awkward and unwieldy...

So who's more ridiculous, the woman that deletes the guy's account for suddenly "divorcing" her, or the guy that calls the real police upon discovering his account was deleted?

My largest concern is with the NPA as well. Essentially, those that work for the region's military goals are already by default disallowed from becoming head of government, and this only worsens that. Whether or not this particular situation requires codifying is still up for debate. (Also, I...

Ahh, right.

I take it you're not a fan of gratuitously capitalized nouns? Yea, that looks nice and clean.

Who is the President of the Council (since the Vice Delegate is the Chair)?

I, Heft, do hereby solemnly swear that during my duly elected term as Court Justice, 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...

Are we looking to improve the logical, legal constistency of what has already been established, or are we going to be looking to improve/alter the actual content of the laws (past what may be necessary to simply clean them up, anyway)? edit: Also, we don't seem to have any access to the private...

To continue to grandstand and moralize about some eternal conflict between "defenders" and "invaders" is just silly and pointless. That game has run its course, and things aren't like they were years ago, and never will be. Things chance, and TNP, at least, is willing to recognize and accomodate...

Obviously this latest "I'm not running" ploy is just a trick to lull us into voting for you.

I hereby declare this the official "TWP are stinkypants" thread.

His interpretation is at least as correct as that which the judiciary has previously been working under. Given that the previous Court refused to even offer an official opinion on whether something would be legal, and insisted on being hamstrung by policies, his interpretation seems much more...

I have suggested privately that merging the CLO and Judiciary seems a sensible option. My understanding of the two is that the CLO can pre-emptively stop the Executive from doing something stupid, whereas the Judiciary has to wait for someone to go and file a formal, legal suit against the...

Why is this organization's website linked to from a course description on the TNPU webpage?

An excellent piece, always good to see old, irrelevant dichotomies and conflicts being recognized as such.

(Pretty sure this isn't the right forum for this but whatever) How does this court intend to enforce its rulings (or make the charged parties show up for their trials or hearings or whatever, for that matter)?

Yea, but it was just so fun! I love raiding regions and also crushing small children's dreams.

Yes. Alternatively, we could do away with the baseless alarmism and senseless knee-jerk reactions. But that's nowhere near as exciting, I agree.

Hmm, that sounds dirty. But this does seem like one of the better elections we've had in awhile, for sure. And honestly, if you think that you'll do best in legislative work, then this isn't what you should be running for.

I don't think my history here should be a problem. It shows that I've consistently worked within the laws and, ultimately, for a more open region. There's some negative bits in there too, I've had my disillusioned moments, and way back in the day I participated in some selective interpretation...

Exciting. Fresh vigor is always something we could use more of.

This isn't really the group to complain to about the burdens of authority and expectations, plenty of us have dealt with that in some situation or another and do understand it better than you would like to give us credit for. Being so familiar with authority you should certainly understand that...

In the case that the delegate or speaker is on trial and a justice has to recuse themself and the remaining two judges can't come to an agreement, we're probably screwed anyway.

GM's suggestion seems like a sensible middle ground to me.

I'll nominate myself too. On the basis that I will endeavor to operate within the parameters of the law as decided by the region (even if I disagree with it and think that all of you are silly people with even sillier ideas) and that I will, more fundamentally, strive to uphold the democratic...

Eluvatar is legally the vice delegate as well, so he does have the power to act whenever Tresville is for whatever reason unavailable.

The Pacific, TWP being second. Don't know TSP, and TEP is just silly.

I think that's more ranks than we have members. But they look good.

Where's the climactic musical number? I want a refund!
