Region: Libertatem
Because that's just how Nationstates works.
Valid point. Like the whole rule over COIN thing. Not cool.
Founders have that privilege.
Somebody tell that to COIN
NO THEY DON'T!
Founders have the power to do everything in a region as per the game's code.
So, yeah, they kinda do.
To make the region truly democratic, you can strip the founder of executive powers during regional creation, although it's kind of pointless IMO as it effectively makes the region founderless.
Founderism as I call it is easily avoided by having a founder who places constitutional checks to his power.
Founderism: Belief that because the game codes it that founders can automatically do anything they want no matter the consequences.
Just because he can use his power that does not mean he has to. I recommend that lib only use his powers in am emergency and be elected in regional politics like everyone else.
Exactly.
Screw the MPA
Anti-Founderist Party.
We gonna be Like the Anti-Federalist Party
You think I feel any differently?
I'm just pointing out that Founders don't have to be held to this idea that "Oh, they can't run their region in X manner", because the point of a Founder is being able to run their region however they like.
As it happens, Liberosia allowed his power to be limited to basically a President that only really acts when the President's executive power is stripped due to an emergency situation.
Nah, I like Liberosia. He's a cool guy.
Eh..He isn't evil.
So cool.
Is it possible to kick the founder with enough influence if WAD is executive?
Yes.
It's possible but the founder can always unban himself
Technically yes, but it won't do anything since the Founder is pretty much able to get back in whenever he wants.
Well that's rather...dumb..but Okay.
It's really funny, at least.
That's actually one of the safeguards they put in place to ensure a region cannot be completely overrun if it has an active founder. If raiders banject a founder and then put a password on the region, the founder can just remove himself from the banlist, lift the password, and then kick the raiders.
That's why it's a horrible idea for a founder to create a region and become non-executive, because then the region can be destroyed easily by a raid. Just overthrow the WAD and kick everyone out. Easy.
TTA if it was possible to remove the founder then tsar would have banned hallo.
True.
The constitution grants power checks to the President and Founder.
That's why I proposed a change. The Constitution can be changed.
WHY CHANGE THAT PART
What we need to change is Article 7 and Article 8
Why don't we just make a new constitution?
ha ha ha
Do you know what happened last time we tried that?
Didn't end well.
Because it's a good constitution until 7 and 8
Change is good. What's the harm in a new constitution?
I will dismantle every effort you make to change the constitution. Just FYI.
Amendments bro.
True story.
Look back at the last time we tried.
Thx for the idea humpy.
Not implying anything here. But if you don't approve of the constitution, the founders actions, or anything else your unwilling to put in the effort and time to try and change.. there is a link that will solve all your problems.
Again 7 and 8 are all that needs Change
Muh Roads, do you support the War on Communism?
So go find the parts that need changing and write up an Amendment.
Just for the record my bringing this up is just me picking on humpy. I like most of the Constitution.
Well, this region was based on it. We often forget that NS Is a game. I do enjoy raiding. I do support the war as a legitimate part of the game. I will fight to continue the war. Will communism ever cease in NS? No, but that doesn't mean we should give up.
However, back in RL I'm in favor of a strong national defense. I don't believe in getting involved in other countries beeswax unless we have a sound legitimate reason. I hardly think that liberating a real country from communist hands is worth a nations time, resources, and effort.
I had hoped so. It's hard for me to tell when your serious Amarican :p
I am serious when I am talking about my politics and when b I am caring about someone. Essentially those times.
Ah, gotcha. I'll try to catch it better. :)
You can't deny that muh roads is one of the best nations in nationstates.
I'm planning on it. I talked with Liberosia about all I wanted to change. He said it was okay (though he personally wouldn't support it)
So I'm focusing on 3 things
1. Appeal
2. Election
3. Amendments
Finally, someone besides Ron Paul is showing Muh a little appreciation. Haha
1. Obviously
2. Meh
3. Amending the Constitution to change the way the Constitution is amended, eh?
Fixed it for you, friend. ;)
I don't have a favorite Libertatem. I do have a least favorite tho but he will not be named.
I don't have a favorite Libertatem member*
Ah a vampire!
No I want to amend the wording based on what Liberosia told me.
No I don't have a favorite. But your in my top 10. With the number 1 being tied.
I have a favorite and a Least favorite.
Am I in your top ten?
Favorite: Me, HAllo and Humph
Least Favorite: Me, Hallo and Humph
So what are you guys doing? I am watching the OReilly Factor and playing Nationstates.
The reason being I have a serious Love-Hate relationship with all three of us.
Yes
I've got Morgan Freeman on on the TV in front of me and I'm just sitting here responding to this silly question about what I'm doing.

I MADE THE LIST! I MADE THE LIST! Lol
I'm on errybody's list so whatever.
I did not, but then I'm the new guy. My skill is in debating in the forums which means you often see me working the forumside more often.
Somebody's bow tie and Fedora are on a bit too tight.. :p
I rarely get on the forums... if i do its usually forum 7. The debate in there gets a bit heated and often turns into an argument about who's more of an intellectual than political ideology. Atleast, that's what I have gathered. But that's good! Where do you stand politically?
Um why does humpy not have a day of rest anymore?
As I said the other day,
"I have a big pe- err, ego."
He wanted it to be taken away in exchange for a day with Rotgeheim.
You know what you should do on the forums? My RP.
http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=304475
I also spend a fair amount on the General forum, usually arguing pointless things or making snide remarks.
I didn't read that as I was supposed to at first. I was thinking you were making a statement about having a large jar of spaghetti sauce. Also, Lol.
Of course.
Also I have two questions about how you view me?
Socially and Politically do you view me More Authoritarian or Libertarian
Economically where would y'all place me amd my policies on the spectrum.
I want to know because of my Marxist Supporting "Centrist" stage.
I view you as confused tta.
I think my rhetoric in the forums is more moderate than the positions I hold. My Political compass is (7 something Economic Right and -6 something Socially Liberal)
When it comes to your politics, I just draw a circle around the political compass.
I think you're down the center right now.
8.38, -5.95
..Synthetic then? (That's the wrong word for not using the scale innit.)
Okay.
My compass was
Left: -0.29
And
Libertarian: -7.95
I think the official term is "Drawing a circle around all four quadrants".
Anyways, I said this earlier, but my compass is
Econ 5.12
Social -2.97.
Sofab. I was just about to say something similar.
TTA you are ideologically confused.
We should get a thing going where we plot every Tatemite's political compass standings.
Don't remember mine. I was centerish right libertarian.
