Region: The Mystical Council
A note to WA members.
There is a resolution to commend Drasnia before the Security Counsel.
Drasnia's support of his regional founder when he dissolved the regional Supreme Court of Capitalist Paradise is extremely distasteful. This took place because a court case was going badly for the founder and regional government. That court still has vacant seats to this day.
That once great region never recovered from the founder's coup. Long time nations contributing to Nation States on a daily basis simply gave up and quit. The damage is done.
I cannot in good conscience support any praise for Drasnia after that nation's support for the founder's stomping of the rightfully elected Supreme Court. I ask those of you voting in the WA to consider this matter when casting your vote.
Forestavia, Truxol
Thx will not consider
Thats funny because I feel the same and parakka northland and this nation were founded on the same day. Although, we both have older accounts
Parakka Northland
You wouldn't have to crush the enemy if you actually revived the founder. And even if you didn't, the militia is ready.
Forestavia, Parakka Northland
No trial again?
New Bacon, Truxol, Exotic Lemon
Nobody is ever on
Gyuamno, New Bacon
I am here
New Bacon
I'm here. But maybe not
I'm on but at a meeting.
If [nation=short]malcholm[/nation] is absent we may have to move forward with the approval of [nation=short]truxol[/nation].
Hey guys, I'm here. Sorry for being late. Had a long day. Just had dinner and saw the time was almost 8 and remembered the trial. Sorry.
Gyuamno
I am late too.
When will you be there? I need you as witness.
New Bacon, Exotic Lemon
If it wasn't for the real world, man.
Exotic Lemon
I'm ready whenever
Gyuamno, Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
Me too.
Gyuamno, Exotic Lemon
If either [nation=short]New Bacon[/nation] or [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] can be here to be witnesses, you can start the session.
Forestavia, New Bacon, Truxol
Alternatively since [nation=short]Exotic Lemon[/nation] is around (I think?) You can start a session with him as [nation=short]Gyuamno[/nation] wanted to question him, and I can proceed with my witnesses later.
Forestavia, New Bacon, Exotic Lemon
I am here
Forestavia
[nation=short]gyuamno[/nation] or [nation=short]forestavia[/nation], do you guys want me to testify?
Forestavia
Only [nation=short]gyuamno[/nation] can call on you.
Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
Yes.
Exotic Lemon
Doesn't look like he is on right now. Should I wait or just get off?
It's almost 10. If we don't hear anything soon we should just push it off until tomorrow. It seems like 10pm is where everyone draws the line.
The prosecution does accept it if the the defendant [nation=short]Forestavia[/nation] represented himself during this session, but he and only he may be the representative on today's session.
Forestavia
You said 7, not 10. I'm not doing anything tonight.
Forestavia
I'd be happy with that. But like I said it's getting late. I have to wake up early tomorrow. I'll represent myself tomorrow if Gyuamno is unable to show. I hope that tomorrow isn't as busy so that I can be here on time.
Very well, but if tomorrow [nation=short]Exotic Lemon[/nation] is here and neither you nor [nation=short]Gyuamno[/nation] call on your witness, then I will move forward to ask the judges to bar you from calling [nation=short]Exotic Lemon[/nation] ever, as you would be deliberately delaying and wasting everyone's time.
Be there or be square.
Exotic Lemon
I already have [nation=short]Exotic_Lemon[/nation] 's testimony. I don't need him present, but if he is that is all the better.
We are still waiting for you to fulfill [nation=short]Malcholm[/nation] 's request and we will not offer any further defense until you meet his request. Any further delay we will file another motion of dismissal as all these delays are prejudicing the case against my client.
I already have [nation=short]Exotic_Lemon[/nation] 's testimony in the form of an interragatory, aka admissable evidence. If you came prepared like me, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.
Exotic Lemon
Me wasting time? You don't even have a witness for God's sake!
You can can request an action from the judges if I personally have delayed something. You cannot request any action if the witnesses themselves are not present. Now if you do have a testimony from Lemon, you must publicly post it on MC.
You are delaying by calling witnesses who can not be present. If they are not here, obviously you need a new witness.
Nonsense, I cannot force people to be here whenever I want. Now post your testimony immediately or I will file for it to not be admissible.
He has my interview. Also, if he like to call me up for a second testimony or ask me to elaborate, I will most likely be there. Also for future reference, I will not stay on waiting past 9 pm central time. If there is a trial I will gladly go over, but I dislike endlessly waiting.
Tonight we can start the session, but with [nation=short]truxol[/nation] it has to be a unanimous ruling or else it will be a mistrial. Preferably around 7pm
That should(?) Work for me, 7pm EST?
New Bacon
A session can be made even with a single judge. The ruling however is made after the judges have heard all that's to hear, at that point you wouldn't be taking anymore statements. Then you, [nation=short]Truxol[/nation], and [nation=short]Malcholm[/nation] can deliberate among yourself about a ruling.
New Bacon, Truxol
Flag day today. And it's a sad one. Take a moment to reflect and pray for the victims. See you guys in a few hours.
New Bacon, Parakka Northland
*sniffs around* Herro?
Forestavia, New Bacon, Truxol, Exotic Lemon
Ok mugwop, yes [nation=short]truxol[/nation] Eastern Time.
Hello. To people of tmc, this is a trusted friend, here to help in the event is raided and we are founderless.
Forestavia, Parakka Northland, Magical Carp
Ugh.
Forestavia
call it bois.
Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
What? Don't you like it when our regional defense militia members have a keen sense of smell?
Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
I'm going to like everyone's post over here tonight so the judges know I'm here.
Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
I will do that too.
Forestavia
back in 10 minutes
Forestavia
Alright let's get started,
[nation=short]alistia[/nation] your needed to the stand.
Forestavia
We can't keep waiting I'll preside over the session and a ruling will be made later.
Forestavia
im here
Forestavia, New Bacon
Ok
Forestavia
Not if thats who i think itis
Forestavia, New Bacon
come then
Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
Thank you for the introduction. *takes a bow* How goes it everyone?
Forestavia, New Bacon, Truxol, Exotic Lemon
Thanks for helping us in the Battle Guard and here in TMC.
Forestavia, Truxol, Exotic Lemon, Magical Carp
Currently our founder [nation=short]forestavia[/nation] is on trial for negligence of the region by allowing oakplumington to cte. You are welcome to watch in [region=mystical council] but not allowed to interfere.
Forestavia, New Bacon, Truxol, Magical Carp
I will watch.
Forestavia, New Bacon, Truxol
[nation=short]truxol[/nation] plugo is online at discord however
Forestavia, Truxol
He and Mal are always "appear" online over there.
Forestavia, Truxol
Yeah ikr
Forestavia
Well I'm not in the discord, was kicked a month or so ago
Gyuamno, Forestavia
Oh ok
Forestavia
Recess until tomorrow
Please
Be back on a 7pm again if you can. Or 6:30 at the earliest.
Forestavia
There is a possibility that I might not be on tomorrow. Can we recess until Friday at 7?
New Bacon
No your lawyer should be on then.
New Bacon
You'll just have to be excused for tomorrow. The session will still go on.
Forestavia
my life doesn't revolve around a video game. if i can make it, i will.
New Bacon
Alternatively, your side can continue until we get to my side. Whenever, I'm up then we need to recess. Because I'm almost certain I won't be able to be on at all tomorrow night.
New Bacon
Either have your lawyer speak on your behalf or we will recess early depending on when the prosecution is done.
Forestavia
Come back if you wish, civ is the one who kicked you and [nation=short]gyuamno[/nation]
New Bacon, Barishmacht, Truxol
Post self-deleted by Mugwop.
Then you should have no problem appreciating that our lives do not revolve around your schedule either. We will need to continue either way and the show will go on, we hope you won't miss it.
Alistia
Sure revolved around everyone else's schedule when they couldn't make it.
Alistia, Truxol
Not at all. Court times are around 4-7 everyday, with or without you. The 4-7 time frame seems to be the time that most people are likely to be present. I probably can find another time where it's best for each individual witness, but then the judges won't be there.
That being said, if the judges want another time frame that they think people are more likely to be present at, then I am open for ideas.
Alistia, New Bacon, Zaraheemia
For the record i didn't do such thing. You see intelligence is lead by truth and without some truth we all have nothing.
Gyuamno, New Bacon, Truxol
Civ I don't need any foolishness out of you. Why are you back? You said you weren't coming back. You're spying on us I can clearly see.
Alistia, Parakka Northland, Civs Tmc Puppet
You where the only person with the kicking power at the time besides me ;)
Parakka Northland, Civs Tmc Puppet
He has came back and left 10+ times, you thought he actually meant what he said? 😂
Parakka Northland
Thats precisely why you blamed me. You wanted to make sure you weren't blamed for the incident and then decided to blame the dead guy. XD
Well yes i do spy on you guys when i am bored but i saw alistias comment and couldn't reach lemon so i decided to check in. But i am only doing this once. Look at my motto.
Nah i wasnt even using discord at the time, and i wouldnt have any reason to kick people from the discord i made
Parakka Northland
Why couldnt you reach me?
Parakka Northland
[nation=short]VIVA_ITALIA[/nation] or anyone with poll powers, please delete the poll A.S.A.P and redo it without me. I have stated that I give my endorsement to [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation]
Viva Italia
Howdy, all.
If you feel you need a break from politics this weekend, you're welcome to come on over, kick back and try and catch some fish.
See you down by the river!
Gyuamno, Forestavia, Malcholm, Truxol, Exotic Lemon
Thanks
The Bear Country is my safe haven. I love all you folks over there.
Truxol, Exotic Lemon
Would we be allowed to sacrifice [nation=short]gyuamno[/nation] to the bear country?
Gyuamno
I don't think they eat fellow bears
Gyuamno
not eat him, just sacrifice him
I formally endorse [nation=short]Forestavia[/nation] for domestic affairs minister. He has the most experience of knowing the in's and outs of this region.

Presenting a special election announcement by Forestavia, Candidate for Minister of Domestic Affairs - TMC.
"I didn't realize it at the time but when I stepped down as Emperor, I opened up a door for myself. In our region we have always strongly discouraged (and much of the time outlawed) government officials from holding more than one office at a time. Now I have the opportunity to run for an office in our great ministry. The domestic affairs position is an important one and one that requires passion and enthusiasm. Periodically, we've heard the occasional statement accusing the ministry of not doing the work that they should be doing. That they aren't active. Etcetera. This is not an accurate assertion because the accusation is not precise. But, there is something about it, isn't there? There is some truth that is hidden just under the surface. Many times we see ministers elected only to lose their passion shortly after being elected. Ideas fall by the wayside. Proposals flounder. And sometimes promises are broken. My aim is to continue to build the region into the self-governing community that it already is and that it will continue to be. I am a candidate that will not lose my passion or my knack for looking at things differently. At this very moment I am being tried by the highest court in our region for challenging certain norms that are followed on NS. It has been said that I failed the region, but this is not true. I want you to ask yourselves if you believe that I would really allow serious damage to occur to our wonderful home. Of course this would be preposterous considering all of the hard work we've put into it. We must always work under the assumption that there are enemies both foreign and domestic seeking to do harm to our region, our democratic way of life, and our culture. Now is a time when we need strong leaders in the Ministry and leaders who are not afraid to think outside of the box. My Promise to You: I will not lose my fire for the people of TMC and I will not stop challenging the status quo."

"There was a debate awhile back that the policy of handing in reports to the Prime Minister generated needless activity. Let us make no mistake that activity is not an end in and of itself but a means to an end. The reports become senseless when they fail to keep the Ministry on task. The point of turning in reports is to keep the ministers on track and to prevent political apathy from taking root in The Mystical Council. Let us see if we can find other ways to use these reports for the good of the region."
- Forestavia for Domestic Affairs
Gyuamno, New Bacon, Truxol, Parakka Northland
Glad the militia is ready! :)
But crushing the enemy is too much fun! Hehe.
Truxol, Exotic Lemon
We usually have a write in canidate spot?
Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
In the candidacy poll, not the election poll.
New Bacon, Truxol
As your Domestic Affairs Minister, I will bring back the write-in option that we've always had. Several times throughout our wonderful history a write-in campaign has won. This important tradition cannot be snuffed out. The Domestic Affairs Minister is responsible for creating the polls. When I create the polls, the write-in option will be restored.
*Waves to the crowds*
It will be restored!
Gyuamno, Alistia, Truxol, Exotic Lemon
The write in option still exists in the candidacy poll. Stop lying and using archaic systems.
The old system of adding write in option in the election polls themselves was terrible and proved ineffective. That is why the current law makes it so that write in options are made in candidacy polls: https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=95037 note "I would like to nominate someone else for Domestic Minister on the RMB"
Even if you won the postion, and even if the current trial didn't condemn you to leave the government, you will not be able to change election polls however you want. You will first need to submit a new legislation to undo the current effective election rules, and replace them with your old and ineffective polling system.
In the wake of all of the devastating forest fires that my nation has recently dealt with, I will push for legislation that will create a new appointed office. The office of Fire Chief will be an important one which will help us tame wild fires throughout the region. Under my proposal the Fire Chief will be granted embassies and communications. Some of our embassies have turned into abandoned buildings which constitute a fire hazard. Some RMB posts have been particularly flammable. The "# Burn Down the Forest" campaign is an example of RMB tinder that should have been suppressed before the flames spread. Lest we put ourselves in harms way we must appoint a fire chief. I would also like to point out that we have embassies with such regions as The Bear Country and The Forest. With a Fire Chief, we will be able to assist our neighbors in the event that a blaze breaks out. This proposal will be reviewed by my fellow ministers, the Prime Minister, and hopefully we will pass it in accordance with New Bacon's proposed constitution. The Fire Lord - I mean Chief, Fire Chief - will also be in charge of monitoring the volcanic situation around the region. There are several volcanoes that have become active recently and we need to keep an eye on them. All will hail the Fire Chief. They will hold the power of fire over us. Here's to hoping they won't use their fiery wrath for their own evil ends.
Gyuamno, Truxol, Parakka Northland
Ineffective? I beg to differ. I once saw Lemon win an election via the write-in option. And Lemon wasn't the only one.
Truxol, Parakka Northland
That is because in your broken and archaic system, people could not nominate others on candidacy polls, only themselves. Complete government failure.
Now not only people can nominate others, then can also know exactly who is running when they look on the election poll. Not just some vague option that says "write in".
The new system has the best of both worlds, and yours led to government collapses. #Sad #Covfefe #BurnTheForest
Forestavia
Maybe we could have the best of three worlds.
That third world is your planet, and the best of that world is compulsory self-molestation using celery sticks. No thanks.
