I believe any delegate-granted honor under the current system is and should be a separate thing from what is being proposed here. Delegates can always do something like this as it is. An official RA award should be its own thing with its own name. NPA service deserves its own space I believe...

Any other thoughts on this one? There’s a few areas that could be adjusted based on initial feedback, but I’d like to hear from more people given how broad a change this is.

Delegate: Halsoni Would you like to reopen nominations? Yes Vice Delegate: Marcus Antonius Would you like to reopen nominations? Yes Speaker: Cloud Would you like to reopen nominations? Yes

Well it's very constructive and encouraging to cast aspersions and point fingers instead of saying anything useful, but hey, I guess the old TNPers have to bring back the classics.

I would think that it goes without saying that not all newcomers approach possible runs for office in the same way, and that makes a huge difference. We have seen newcomers run competent and robust campaigns. Some people take time to research and study the office and lay out a reasonable pitch...

Is there any civic culture left in The North Pacific? Have we really returned to something like the dark days of the early 2010s? Has apathy come to spread around us and render our votes mere shrugs and smiling nods? The lack of engagement with the candidates might make some sense, considering...

What they are trying to say is that this office he’s running for and being evaluated for is the vice delegate. The VD role is not concerned with policing the RMB for rulebreakers or even using BC powers. Your concerns are related to his role as LGA. The only connection to them is what you said...

This is going to require explanation. The proposal is a protest against moderation for their sloppy and incomplete new ruleset that disregarded the warnings and pleas of the community that they were supposedly there to receive feedback from. There was a glaring error in the rules as written that...

Whatever could you be referring to I wonder… The delegate could make a non-reciprocal agreement I guess but I would think better of them than that. Without RA input that could go unchallenged. I can see this being a problem. As I said, I’m not married to this part, if the consensus leans away...

I’m glad to hear you think so. My original intention was to just take them out entirely but this seemed like it covered all the bases. Obviously the bill goes much further than just addressing the COPS stuff. You and Elu are concerned about extending espionage to non-treatied groups. Well I...

The briefing period is closed, and the Court will now begin deliberating.

Honestly, if the prosecution feels that the misfeasance rose to that level, they could advise the Court to punish by removing the offender from office. There will never be a situation where everyone is always happy with the degree of punishment the Court metes out, it's always going to be...

My apologies for leaving you out of my last response. I am unsure how you are concluding that these changes would mean serious mistakes would have more protection. Removal from office is an option for misfeasance, and I imagine would be sentenced for the most serious of mistakes. As for the...

All of your interpretations would not work. For starters, gross misconduct is already subjective, far more than these new proposed crimes. Malfeasance requires deliberate malicious action, as I outlined in my little explainer. The point of a trial is proving both that the action was malicious...

With all the discussion over the years about our frustrating criminal justice system, one area that has not been discussed as frequently is the role of the criminal code in creating that frustration. It has been observed now and then that our criminal code incentivizes focus on one crime in...

The Court accepts this request for review, and I will serve as the Moderating Justice. The Court recognizes @Sil Dorsett as respondent. At this time the Court will accept briefs from any interested party, until five days from this post.

Aye

I still support Sil.

I’m not sure what’s sillier about this discussion, the fighting over the name or the idea that because Ruben is pushing the anti-Hulldom angle when clearly there’s broad support for this change at least partly because of the idea the original amendment was just for him, it’s somehow beneath us...

The 12-hour-long challenge period has now passed, and the Election Commission is now ready to vote on whether or not to certify the January 2026 Special Vice Delegate Election Results as given to them by the Election Supervisors, per Section 4, Clause 10 of the Election Commission Rules: The...

I find this line of questioning and commentary bizarre. Orange’s commitment seems pretty clear to me given what he’s managed with the integration ministry after I completely botched its rollout. Until he got involved with that ministry, I will acknowledge I did not see much of him and didn’t...

Vice Delegate: Orange Would you like to reopen nominations? No

I, Pallaith, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Election Commissioner, 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...

Orange, you’ve come a long way in the region and have handled yourself well along the way. It’s been a bit since we’ve had new talent giving this job a shot, and it can be a bit of a learning curve, but you seem to have grasped the basics and I appreciate that you studied up on the job in...

I don’t know Ambis, really, outside of having an axe to grind with most of the places he used to frequent. He’s carried water for people and places that gave us trouble in the past, but things do change as TNP in particular is well aware. He seems perfectly reasonable and serious to me. Some of...

Who is doing that? I didn’t pose this to any other nominee, just the one who has made a habit of losing his offices due to not showing up. I’m not even inherently opposed to his returning to the EC. But this has to be acknowledged after so many times it has taken place.

I wouldn’t say that no one has a positive opinion, only a few people have replied to this so far. Just keep that in mind before you solidify your opinion.

You may not be aware of this nominee’s history, but he is known for losing office because he didn’t log in often enough, or losing citizenship because his nation ceased to exist. It’s happened more than once, in more than one office, including elected ones.
