wait what What's the problem we're trying to fix?

It is the delegate's prerogative to select his cabinet however he likes, and the CLO could conceivably interrupt such an action anyway, I think. I don't really think this particular method is an improvement at all, and the more usual appointment method would be preferred, but there isn't...

Neither the war nor this incident has significantly interrupted the region. I'm sure you could find some reasonably legitimate argument against this motion, but baseless fearmongering isn't it.

Less hellfire also helps.

If this is the "mini speech" then ohgawd.

Thank god, we can still argue.

omgshutup We can always vote on whether or not we should vote. That sounds fun.

The precedent set, according to my understanding, is that the RA is capable of unorthodixically electing or confirming a delegate via 3/4 majority vote (and therefore, by logical extension, since that power isn't enumerated as far as I'm aware, able to do whatever it wants with a 3/4 majority vote).

Oh. Okay, then, we're good to go. So, basically, the RA can by 3/4ths majority vote make anyone the legal delegate? Fascinating.

This would set the precedent that the RA has ultimate authority in all matters in the region, including constitutional law, and that the RA, can, in effect, override, or at least ignore, the constitution without ever passing any amendment or anything. Which isn't necessarily a bad precedent...

Yea, it was amazing. "Shit we can't do that." "Sure we can, let's just take this, throw some of this in, and maybe this too, and we're good." "Oh okay." Good times. Did wonders for my "critical reading" abilities, if nothing else. In order to avoid the appearance of blatantly returning to that...

Thankfully, the issue of "does the law apply only to popular people in this case?" wouldn't have come up because only the "popular" people would win. And can't say I honestly care about following the constitution to the letter. All those experiences burned me, and I just can't bear to open...

It's more like "Well, there's only one devil to 'choose', so whatever."

Oh wow, nary a week into a Tresville government and the old fault lines are already as strong as ever. This should be good. Anyway, seeing as there was no other viable candidate that particularly wanted the job, I'll go along with it.

What I think he did was this. He tallied up all the votes for the first position (everyone's 1) vote). He took the top two candidates from that "round." Then, everyone who had voted for someone other than those two candidates, but had voted 2) for one of the two candidates, he applied those...

I don't really see that log proving anything, though.

We're all spies.

They declared war on us. We actually went uot and did something material about it (we obviously can't strike at Gatesville directly, and it's not like there's a plethora of targets elsewhere). And, "horde," really?

It's obviously a thinly veiled scheme to undermine any attempt at building a regional army or militia of any sort. I'm on to you, bub.

I'd much prefer the New Towel Order, personally.

And so began the legendary Letter-Writing Campaign of '08. It was long and arduous, and the letter-writerers were beset on all sides by wrist cramps, ink blotches, and stamp shortages. But they valiantally, heroically, wrote, and wrote, and wrote. *tear*

I'll mom your soccer.

Well a lot of these PMs were kinda old when I wasn't paying attention.

Responded.

I'm a triple-double-secret-latchkey agent for your mom.

Bike shorts?

There was no official NPA mission in Central Asia last night. That said, it should not be appalling if a historically defender army strikes against your force of raiders and invaders, regardless of any other conflicts. That's how things work, after all. Roll with it, and just be better than us.

"Justifiably suspicious" (lovely wording, heh) would include responding to a "please cease and desist as your position may be exploited by hostile forces" TG with a "No I will not stop" TG and continuing to collect endorsements and endorse other nations.
