After the election, I'll be posting a series of polls (open to all residents and lasting 2 days each) measuring favorability vs. unfavorability under the new government. You'll have a chance to rate me, the delegate, the Lunar Council, and even the nobility.

Gyuamno

With Gyuamno's election, his vote in favor of the repeal of The Battle Guard counts and the repeal passes the Lunar Council 4-0 with 3 not voting.

Now it goes to the desk of Emperor Terran Flux for a signature or veto.

The Regional Anthem Repeal has been passed by the Lunar Council. Now it is up to our Emperor to figure out what to do with it.

I have a 22.9% approval rating! Wahoo! I think I might be doing better than the United States Congress. ;)

We will do our Delegate Emperor next.

Let me sleep on this. I'll come up with something very soon.

Edit: Ok. That's enough sleep. There are a few different ways we can handle this. We have to figure out which method we like. I might set up a poll with these three options depending on how the discussion goes.:

The First Way: The veto cannot be overridden. The Delegate is the last say on legislation. The people may put pressure on the Nobility to change their endorsements so that the Lunar Council could try passing it with another Delegate.

The Second Way: The Lunar Council passes a Veto Override with a simple majority - essentially a vote to send the legislation to the Nobility. A four-day poll should be made accessible to WA nations only. It should be scheduled to close between the minor and major updates so that R/D players can also participate in the poll by moving their WA over right before the poll closes.

The Third Way: The Lunar Council can vote to send it to the Founder. The Founder will either sign or veto.

I like the third way, it's a lot simpler and avoids stupid polls!

Gyuamno wrote:Sorry Daddy Oak!

The only problem I have with the third way is that I already have too much power. I control the entire judicial branch plus I already have executive power that automatically comes from the founder office, and I also have the power to break a tie on the Lunar Council. I don't think it would be a very good balance of power to give me a role in overriding a veto. That should be left up to the Nobility as stated in the option 1 (via endorsements) or as stated in option 2 (through the power of the vote). I like options 1 and 2 equally.

Gyuamno

Alistia wrote:Lift the emergency and restore the executive delegacy or I and others resign, and the region will officially be dead.

The emergency will not be lifted until the end of April.

The delegacy will be granted executive power on January 1st.

Embassies authority will be granted January 1st.

Parakka Northland

Gyuamno, I just realized I never appointed you to the Lunar Council! I've been slacking. Sorry. My turn to get paddled next, eh?

Gyuamno,

Would you like a Secretary Delegate? It is optional. You do not need one if you don't want one.

If you do, do you want to keep Malcholm as your Secretary Delegate or would you like to appoint someone else?

You are allowed to change Secretary Delegates as frequently as you wish and grant them whatever powers you choose (including embassies authority starting on January 1st.)

Gyuamno

Announcement:

The next favorability poll will be for the Lunar Council overall. I'm not sure whether it's necessary to do one for each individual Lunar Council member. It's up for discussion. There hasn't been much discussion about anything, though. Kind of like talking to a wall. But if you listen closely, some walls have very interesting opinions about things! ;)

When the state of emergency does expire, non-WA nations may have a chance to participate in the polls again (if it's something we want). There is so much to discuss right now but I want to know if it is the desire of the region to readopt these policies. I'm looking way ahead to May.:

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=parakka_northland/detail=factbook/id=762848

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=880470

If it is, then we should consider voting on them. I'm not going to end the state of emergency until we have a well-oiled fully functioning TMC again. To be clear, these laws will not go into effect again until May. I want to make sure we're able to function and not limp along like we did for the past year.

That's not really the issue 😒 it's more of a self-determined declaration of a separation of interests. TMC feels like two communities mashed into one. There's the on-site bunch and the off-site bunch; ones who

dedicated themselves to the Council, and the ones who built the Monarchy from the ashes and rubble of nations past. And as much as we try, there's no real in-between.

I don't want to talk to much about it right now, BUT I've been preparing for a possible region split for awhile now. Of course it would be preferable to keep everyone united but times do change sometimes - I can't deny it. If the secessionists could hang with us for another two months, I'll hopefully have some good news for you. If anyone feels they can't stay any longer, though, then you are free to leave. You always have been. These are tough times for the region. There's no doubt about it. It's never been this bad before.

To be fair to myself though, I also have to say that there has been very little discussion about things I've asked the region to discuss. It almost seems like many have already given up. But maybe I'm misinterpreting. Could be a hibernation of sorts. But still I deserve some credit. I ended the power struggles. I brought the chaos under control. Many of our traditions are still being honored. We have a working constitution again, for the first time since 2015, I'll add. So we've made enormous progress in a short amount of time.

Malcholm, Alpha Wolf

By the way, congratulations to Terran Flux! He scored 31/56 securing a 55.4% approval rating from the region (That's double what I got! hehe).

Let's wish our Former Delegate the best of luck in all future political endeavors. With an approval rating that high, I wouldn't be surprised to see Terran back in the Delegate's seat in the future.

Terran Flux

i think the poll ends too close to update.

Malcholm, Oakplumington

The Immortal Elysium wrote:i think the poll ends too close to update.

Yeah, I noticed that. That was my mistake. Here's what will do - just this once because I messed up.

1. The R/D people still have to bring their WA here to the region so that it shows up on the activity page.

2. Then send me a telegram explaining that you're on a mission.

I'm going to send a mass telegram out about this, too. Sorry everyone. I was up late last night and didn't even realize the time. I won't schedule the poll like that again.

Edit: If anyone's confused about the telegram I sent out send me a telegram to Oak or Forest. I'm going to probably chill for the rest of the night and do some RP in Solar Alliance. New Wondour's probably wondering what happened to me.

How are you qualifying #2? Are we expected to divulge the details of the mission we're on, or send you a TG that says "out tagging/chasing/piling"? Feels like there should be a better way of doing this.

And speaking of piling, are we expected to have out WA make an appearance even if we're piling for the duration of a poll?

The 'chaos'was literally just activity and debate about policies and such, but you damn are right when you say you ended that.

No, No, no, no classified stuff is needed I don't need that. I just.

Let me give an example. It might be easier to explain.

Player 1 is scheduled to do military stuff the night the poll closes but Player 1 can't vote because your crazy founder scheduled the poll wrong. This is how we can handle this:

Player 1 is required to bring WA status to TMC for a few seconds so that the activity page records that Player 1 actually has a WA. (That is to say that Player 1 must resign or join the WA at some point that evening.) Player 1 is also required to send me a telegram saying something like, "Hey, my WA has been recorded on the activity page. I'm doing military stuff tonight. I want to vote for option X. Have a nice evening, Oak."

Then I will put your vote on the RMB. "Player 1 has informed me that they are involved in military duties tonight. They have voted for option X. [Copy and past activity page proof here]." Boom. All done. Your votes will be counted and you'll be free to do military stuff.

And we will never have to do it this way again because I'll be much more careful about when I post polls.

Does that make sense?

I'm really trying to avoid cancelling the poll and creating a new poll but I guess that's an option too. Last I checked no one voted. I could just pick up where we left off with a 3 day poll.

Alistia wrote:The 'chaos'was literally just activity and debate about policies and such, but you damn are right when you say you ended that.

The region was spiraling out of control. In part, because we were operating on a framework instead of something a little more solid. I was hoping that the framework would have developed into something with complete sentences but it never did. The region never wanted to adopt Bacon's constitution. But I do have to give you credit, Alistia. I expected us to be in this situation six months ago. So you and AU912's framework was pretty good. Not just the framework but the fine nations that make up this region. We lasted a year without a constitution. It's kind of impressive if you think about it.

But it wasn't a solid foundation and now we are at a point where the region is ready to split. Just remember. I didn't cause this. I don't think anyone really did. This is just the cycle of the life of a region. Right now we're dying and we have to either come to terms of splitting up, accept it, and be ok with it, or we have to find the inspiration to unite once more under a new and different (but similar) system of government. I didn't break the region. I'm doing what I can to save whatever parts of the region I can. The day will come when I will loosen my grip on power. But we've got to tackle these repeals first. After we gut the region of everything we don't want then we can begin the arduous task of rebuilding and rediscovering what TMC is all about.

Ho ho ho! I hope Chris Cringle was awfully nice to you this year Parakka.

Merry Christmas & Happy birthday! My birthday is in a few days. :)

Oakplumington, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland

In lieu of Oakmeisters absence, we shall progress forward!

Is anyone interested in roleplay? Terran Flux? We can bring the Warzone TMC roleplay here to boost activity!

Or should we work on structuring our new government for the new year after the emergency declaration has ended? So many possibilities, what should we do folks?

Any legislation you two!?

New Bacon

Where are the roleplay and map!?

The Immortal Elysium

How are foreign relations!?

Parakka Northland

What is the state of our culture!?

Terran Flux

How are the BOW relations!?

Let me know what you people are up to, you were elected for a reason!! Otherwise, BIG DADDY will drain the swamp and you can find yourself a new job (picking up trash!)! I'll get more interested Lunar Councilmembers to help this place!

In terms of culture well, it’s getting back to the way it used to be in a small way with the election cycle coinciding with the various moons

Thanks for sharing the updates! We will work closely to build upon our current state!

As for the other knuckleheads...

I think writing and passing legislation lost priority when we lost the power to govern. Sure, we could be, but I'd rather be devoting my time and effort to places where I know it'll have a positive effect--i.e., being part of and participating in warden command and rebuilding my own region.

We have no powers to do anything.

The Administration page begs to differ. The fact that you are both members of the Lunar Council grants you the right to legislate which by definition is governing.

But if you guys are unhappy here then leave. Contact Alpha Wolf. Alpha has a pretty solid plan for a merge. TMC isn't merging but if enough of us leave for Alpha's region then perhaps TMC can become an autonomous colony of The Wolf Clan.
