Region: Lands End

History

Hey Everyone. Just to clear things up, I’ll still be active but I won’t be able to do my job as CTO, and that is why I stepped down. I’ll remain in my current position until elections, which then will be handed over to Yahweh’s. I’m still alive if that makes you better Peacockastan. ;)

Wasn't that whole elections thing just a big old WHOOPSIE until April rolls around

Yawehs Chosen Peoples wrote:Wasn't that whole elections thing just a big old WHOOPSIE until April rolls around

We may have started them a little earlier than expected, but all that means is that people have even more time to declare candidacy, so it works out in the end. And yes elections will be on April 1st. (As far as I'm aware.)

CORRECTION: Elections are TODAY, not April 1st. My bad.

DOUBLE CORRECTION: Election might NOT be today...

Buryasia, Yawehs Chosen Peoples, Beyo, Los Cayos

Wait, when you say elections are today, are you saying we vote today? Because that can't be right. In elections past, we've had several days, possibly a week, of nations declaring candidacy, with several RMB posts about who is a candidate, before votes are cast.

Additionally, the elections bylaw, which I was asked to write to provide clarity, and which underwent several rounds of edits, states:

"Voting is to be a seven-day period preceded by at least seven days’ notice on the RMB. All Shareholder nations are eligible to vote; they will receive a ballot via telegram at the beginning of the voting period."

Edit: To be clear, I totally endorse Peacockastan and all board members who are running to continue their positions-- but I don't endorse elections starting today.

This is exactly what I was thinking, this is just what I was told, however, there might be some sort of miscommunication here.

Okay, the message from the board to all Lands End shareholders is, elections begin Tuesday and all shareholders should expect to receive a ballot by TG.

If we ever create artificial intelligence that is sapient, should it have the same rights as an organic person?

Yes since their as intelligent as we are.

glad to see you are back with the RMB conversation starters!

I would say no, as theoretically we would never teach them to comprehend the idea of AI rights

Beyo

I'm back from the limbo-like state I was in after a fool misused a UHaul trailer to detach the cable drop from my house, leaving me without internet on what I had planned to be a soccer-watching and nationstates-playing weekend. Anyway, welcome to the new people, glad you're back International Settlements, and no I don't think sentient technology should have the same rights but I do think it/they/whatever-you-call-it should have some well defined rights. Not exactly sure what those rights should be; maybe after such a lifeform shows itself we can better determine what rights it should have.

Beyo

Mythel wrote:If we ever create artificial intelligence that is sapient, should it have the same rights as an organic person?

No. They are not humans, and if truly sapient, are able to be much better than us. Better to enslave them, rather than risk rebellion and revolts.

Mythel wrote:If we ever create artificial intelligence that is sapient, should it have the same rights as an organic person?

Yes, for they would have free will and should be treated as equals

so your solution to avoid A.I. rebellion and revolts, is to give them a reason to rebel and revolt? should we also eat all our food raw to avoid disease and parasites as well?

I have to say that while Raider of the Lost Ark was a fantastic film, it was not my favorite. The Last Crusade was without a doubt my favorite Indiana Jones movie. I just liked the movie better. Don't know why, I guess it's just personal preference. Temple of Doom was definitely not my favorite. It was a good movie and all but it definitely wasn't better than the others. Also, Crystal Skull was unnecessary and not that good.

i liked all of the indiana jones movies. i liked crystal skull mainly because i grew up with it.

The last crusade was great for so many reasons, all of Indianas freinds came together which made it a great ending.

No...I myself used to have a puppet storage.Look for names such as puppet store.

It is a place where nations you own can be stored for later use.

If you already have a nation in LE or an AA region you are not permitted to put a puppet in LE or an AA region.

If you have nowhere to store them feel free to use my puppet storage region Davis Monthan Air Force Base

I just read over the WA clone thing. I have a vague opinion on it. could someone give me their more specific opinions on it in case I might be missing something?

Mythel wrote:I just read over the WA clone thing. I have a vague opinion on it. could someone give me their more specific opinions on it in case I might be missing something?

In my opinion, the proposal overall takes the right to legislate on the matters of cloning and clone rights, as discussed in the proposal, away from member states.

using that logic, I shouldn't vote for anything that isn't a repeal, and if everyone were to follow that policy then there wouldn't really be any point in the WA at all.

That's because there isn't...

Also, that policy is actually how I vote on General Assembly proposals most of the time.

well, does anyone have an opinion on this specific topic that goes beyond the whole WA being pointless? I intend to vote more on the idea of how clones should be treated than whether it's worth even voting.

I think clones should be treated like people because they are people just a version of a person and if they decide to kill the person who created them they should get arrested like a normal person cause they are that person did that make sense?

Has anybody ever written and had approved an Issue for nationstates? I wrote one because I was bored last night, and while I'm not expecting it to be accepted, does anybody know the 'acceptance rate', what they look for, how often they read submissions, who reads them, or anything like that?

The people who accept the issues are called "Issue Editors" You can tell that someone is an issue editor because they have a little badge on their nation page, kinda like the WA badge. These Issue Editors accept issues and they are the people who choose how much an issue will affect your stats and how. I also know that if you want to write an issue, then there is an issue writing forum where you can create a thread and then let people and issue editors put in input to help get your issue accepted.

Yes, also there is a server dedicated to writing issues as well. I visited it when I had discord, but left it in the great server purge.

In regards to the poll, I would also consider a specialty school if my child had made clear he/she wanted a certain Job and that school was the best option towards obtaining it.

Personally, I've been playing for more than two years & I've never had the desire to look at the issues spoilers. Some day I probably will, but for now I'm having fun trying to figure it out on my own. I think I'm doing a fairly decent job of it, as my big 3 stats are all pretty high. My nation is more-or-less running as I want it to.

And I plan to do as good a job as possible at CLO for the next three months, so shareholders please give me your votes when you receive your ballots from Blux.
