Oak is firmly against passwords, it would take a lot of influence and if he comes back he can just remove the password instantly.

Yea but we might need to have it up until he comes back tho. Once we have our founder agin then of course we would no longer need the password.

Good idea, I'll put up a poll.

We still have to celebrate our fifth anniversary and also should hold another Lunar Council election to replace Alistia. I'll let you guys do that. I'll bring Oak back to the region, set the vacation mode on it, and put up a password.

Im not against it but it will not be an instant fix to declining activity. Also Oakplumington deserves to have a say, this region is 5 years old.

That being said, it could bring a lot of excitement back to the region

I agree that Oak should have a say.

Just to point out that TMC is only about a year older than the SA 😁

Being bais here and as such my comment can be taken with a pinch of salt. The idea of the merger is to be mutually beneficial to both regions, and hopefully to ensure that bother regions legacies can continue into a new exciting chapter for all concerned.

Exotic Lemon, Alley Cats

Interesting proposal. Will need review.

Alley Cats

I've made some changes in preparation for the merger.

Neo Vedan

Guys just want to say that i personally am really excited by the prospect of the merger and feel this is a great opportunity for both our communities.

Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon, Neo Vedan

Sentagon, Mystical Council, and Solar Alliance affiliated embassies (such as Vroengard, and The Mystical Alliance) are officially under protection by Founder's Executive Order 2020.1 aka the Cultural Protection Act. Warzone Tmc is wild and does not have to comply with 2020.1.

Founder's Executive Order 2020.2

All Lunar Councillors, (namely Alistia, Vedan, Malcholm, Parakka, Exotic Lemon, Gyuamno, and myself), have full permission and freedom to withdraw any embassies we see fit so long as the embassy closures do not violate 2020.1 above.

Founder's Executive Order 2020.3 - Precautionary Measures to Protect Rights of TMC Affiliates

The purpose of this law is NOT to encourage a schism but to prevent it. 2020.3 should be used as a last resort only.

For the duration of the merger a permanent government will be put in place as a backup plan in case the merger fails. (And it won't fail because it's going to be the most successful merger in all of NS history, but I digress...) The government of TMC will consist of a permanent seven member Lunar Council consisting of Alistia, Exotic Lemon, Gyuamno, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Parakka, and Vedan. As of writing this law only five out of seven are active. Elections will no longer be held.

The Lunar Council, as a collective body, reserves the right to declare independence from Solar Alliance, The Mystical Alliance, or any other associated regions.

Recommended guidelines.

1. The concerns of TMC members should be voiced through the proper channels according to SA/TMA laws, protocols, and/or traditions.

2. If it is felt that the proper channels are not working even after proper protesting and due patience have been given, then the Lunar Councillors may hold a meeting here in The Mystical Council and draw up an official request on behalf of TMC affiliates.

3. If the terms of the request are taken seriously then no further action is needed. If they are not then proceed to step 4.

4. The Lunar Council may vote to separate from SA/The Mystical Alliance. A 60% majority or better of active Lunar Councillors will be sufficient.

5. If passed, the Lunar Council may proceed to rebuild The Mystical Council from scratch.

Triwen, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon, Neo Vedan

Founder's Executive Order 2020.4 - The "No New Embassies" Act

With the exception of regions associated with The Mystical Alliance, no new embassies shall be built here in The Mystical Council. Old embassies may continue to exist unless the Lunar Council decides to bulldoze them (as per F.E.O. 2020.2).

Gyuamno, Parakka Northland, Neo Vedan

Neo Vedan, can we close embassies with The Anti World Assembly? Looks like a dead region to me.

Neo Vedan

Founder's Executive Order 2020.5 - TMC Founder and The Mystical Alliance Accountability Act

In the event the Lunar Council chooses to initiate order 2020.3 AND if the process makes it all the way to step five, all of Oakplumington's 2020 executive orders shall be declared null and void.

Founder's Executive Order 2020.6 - Previous Government System Declared Null and Void

1. Once the merge with Solar Alliance is declared official, all previous laws, traditions, and government systems will be rendered null and void.

2. Upon completion of the current running poll (if those in favor have the majority) the merge with Solar Alliance will be considered official and complete. Any opposed will have their concerns addressed and accommodated to the best of our ability ("our" being The Lunar Council, Parakka, and I).

To prevent the poll from being hijacked, only current or previous residents of TMC are permitted to vote in the poll. All TMC residents are encouraged to vote here.

Parakka Northland

Founder's Executive Order 2020.7 - The "B-but this is my home... ;(" Act

*Sighs*

1. If you really want to stay then you can stay. I won't kick you out. However, I reserve the right to eject or banish anyone who "causes a fuss".

2. For the purposes of this law, the definition of "causing a fuss" will be taken to mean "anything the founder deems as troublesome enough to warrant getting kicked out".

Okay guys, so it appears that everything is looking good for this merger. Are there any comments, questions, or concerns at this point?

Soooo... you guys are merging? Should I pass an embassy request over to the new region? You guys meet our embassy requirements, so though Solar Alliance's would have been closed for no longer meeting it, I can transfer yours over to the merger region if you like :p

Go ahead, I just officially pulled the plug on that region and resigned my post there earlier today. Go ahead and close any embassy you feel like. I've just been accepting them from anyone that asks

I'm feelin' good! Just checking in to see how things are moving along with the merge. I just have to say that I really like how they run RP in Solar Alliance. I like having the posts right on the RMB. I think this merge will bring some new life to our communities.

Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon, Aremnant

The merge is official. I see that SEC fanatics proposed embassies with the new region so I'm closing embassies with them over here.

The merge is official. Puppets may stay here but please be sure to send a nation to act as a main in the new region: The Mystical Alliance. Thank you.

I know i haven't been very active here lately, though i do think the merger will bring some new life into things for everyone

I have cleared the regional ban list in compliance with Triwen's proposed Clean Slate Act.

Also, a reminder that we have merged with Parakka's region and as such all future embassy requests will be rejected.

If you're interested in building embassies with an exciting RP region please send your request to The Mystical Alliance.

OK? I'm a cat. I was born OK. I've got nine lives plus experience in the alleys. I chase birds for a livin'. Except these hawks came prepared. I couldn't resist the urge to chase after the flowers they sprinkled all over the region. I wasn't ready for the ol' distract 'em with a flower offering technique. I mean, the flowery scent does cut down on the litter box odor but I may have missed out on a meal consisting of fresh bird. It's fine though, 'cause next time I'll be ready to pounce.

*Licks whiskers with anticipation*

I think I might keep the flag up there for awhile. I kind of like it. Very nice design.

Post self-deleted by Ljagna.

This region is a rock. Forever strong. It is the property of the old Lunar Council, collectively held in trust by the chosen seven, and currently a proud colony of The Mystical Alliance, a fun RP region with some really wild political parties.

You like smoothies? ;)

Parakka Northland, Viking Militia

The Mystical Council might be restarting again. Important decisions are being made. Stay tuned for more information.

Founder's Executive Order 2020.5 - TMC Founder and The Mystical Alliance Accountability Act

"In the event the Lunar Council chooses to initiate order 2020.3 AND if the process makes it all the way to step five, all of Oakplumington's 2020 executive orders shall be declared null and void."

I'm making preparations to declare the Executive Orders of 2020 null and void. I'm waiting on two more votes.

I don't know what we're going to do with ourselves once we return. The only reason I pushed for the merge is it was a last ditch attempt to save our dying region. We'll have to get creative.

This is just a rough draft of what we could do. It's a very simple system that only requires elections during vacancies on the Lunar Council. We don't need to make any decisions right away but I like this.

There seems to be a consensus that role play isn't active enough, there's a cultural clash between the two communities. The merge didn't really work out the way we all thought it would.

Malcholm came back to vote for independence! :)

Malcholm

I hereby nullify all of the executive orders from this year. We are officially a region without laws.

Malcholm

I'm voting for Vedan who seems to be the least active out of the four of you. The Vice-Delegate is a floater position that will vote in lieu of the WA Delegate if the Delegate is either inactive or if the region has no delegate. Even if our region's Senate elects a WA delegate with their endorsements we will still need a Vice-Delegate to vote in my place if I'm inactive or if one of the other Lunar Councillors are inactive.

While the Vice-Delegate is technically NOT on the Lunar Council, it is best to treat this position as if you are electing an "extra" Lunar Councillor who will vote in the absence of one of the other five.

I hope this explanation makes sense.

In the event that Vedan doesn't return to TMC, we can elect a different nation for the position.

Excellent. You have permission to vote in my place if I'm not active and the Lunar Council needs another vote. I'll try to check in once a week but I'm not that active anymore.

You're allowed to vote for yourself. Give yourself a solid lead.

Feel free to add any tags you guys want. I added some and removed some.

In case anyone doesn't know Alley Cats is my puppet.

So.... If there's anything we've learned about ourselves over the past year it's that we are definitely not RPers. It's not our style. I like it but I can't seem to get into a groove with my creative juices. I don't have the focus for it.
