Hello all. Some of y'all have known me for a while, and others have only known me for a few short months. I hope that during that time, I have come across as an intelligent, moderate voice of reason. It is on precisely those credentials that I come before you today as a candidate for the...

I will stand in the election for Attorney General and Security Council.

I just only watched that movie tonight. I felt like I should have grown testicles after watching it. That's how epic it was.

*cough* <-- is a "she" ;)

Hello there! :) It's about time...

Excellent reply, HC! I may disagree with you somewhat in the most optimal government setup, but I greatly appreciate the thought that you have put into this issue. I urge you to bring your suggestions to broader RA discussion so that we may better weigh against each other the options open to...

I think this is the beginnings of a great MoC race. :lol: Good luck to you both!

Along those lines, given your knowledge of and connectedness with various regions, where do you think the greatest conflict in NS lies? I guess this could be a battle between physical locations or an ideological battle. How do you think TNP should face that conflict, if at all?

Hmm. Then I guess it'd be highly improper for the MoC to come out in support of these actions. *cough*

Uh, was the 15-line thingy ever codified, or was it just accepted convention?

You guys fail at the letter "G". :P

Am now accepting donations for a trip to Europe.

Eh. There's been an open record of violators all along. What else would this thread be for? Perhaps not publicized so well, but it's been there. :P

Whipped up some revisions for this draft, and I was even kind enough to include notes with the locations of changes. :P As always, I welcome any comments or suggestions. I'm also working on trying to condense the document further, as it is getting more lengthy (EDIT: Holy hell, this is way...

Hmmm. I would be lying if I said that I don't welcome these changes, but the stipulations are rather subjective, no?

Of course, we have to take into account that our current procedures are part of the problem. Not only do we have to fix the governmental structure but also the specific procedures. As many of our current procedures are untenable, we might as well fix them now, right? And since some of these...

Pragmia: Regarding your proposed areas for change, I have to disagree a bit. Having some amount of procedure already outlined is good, but having none will mean that during the Constitution's infancy, people will simply be scrambling to write up procedural laws. Except that there's no procedure...

Zing! EDIT: Because I can.

Good job, and I agree with everything you have said. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to what type of reform you envision for TNP? I'm going to assume that a legislature of citizens is a given, but how would you handle the other bits of government, mainly: Do you wish the Delegate to be Head...

...What are people getting all up in arms about it for? It's a simple cut-paste to try to shorten the length of the Constitution proper. Nothing is lost nor gained, only reshuffled.

I'm not saying that it didn't work out so far in practice, but rather that as it is set up in the Constitution, the SC is potentially a huge burden on Delegate power. Gut feeling, I guess. I guess we'll agree to disagree on this point. Meh. Depends on how you define it. Overall, I think that we...

Chuck Norris can beat Vin Diesel at this game.

I'd like to second (I know) A-I's nomination. A term late, but oh well. ;)

Hmmm. Flem, can you point me to a few instances of where that has happened?

Hey there and welcome to TNP! Yes, the game is pretty complex, and plus, you happened to come upon a pretty complex time, haha. However, hope that you'll still be able to jump in, take part in the intrigue, and have fun. Might I suggest signing up for the RA if you haven't? Or if you're not so...

Eh. I'm not sure I agree. Term limits do not work so well in our current system simply because of the sheer number of elected positions affected by term limits and the resultant dearth of viable candidates that it caused. However, I do not see the incredible harm caused by having ONE...

Well, I am certainly not wholly against term limits on the Delegate spot. However, I would be more apprehensive toward term limits on ministerial positions. I'll be making some edits to this first draft based on some recent feedback. Thanks, y'all, and keep the flamescomments coming!

I assume immediately. It looks good, Byard. Let's get this pushed out. You go ahead and do the honors of opening the election season.

Clean up the grammar a bit, and you'll have my endorsement. :P
